This a non-surgical procedure tightens and rejuvenates the skin of the face and neck by stimulating collagen production for a more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
Facetite uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production. Collagen is a protein that helps maintain skin firmness and elasticity.
During the procedure, a small cannula (tube) is inserted under the skin. The RF energy is delivered through the cannula to target specific areas, such as the jowls, neck, or cheeks, where skin laxity or fat deposits are present.
Facetite includes built-in safeguards to ensure the skin is heated to a precise temperature. Thermal monitoring technology allows the physician to monitor the skin’s temperature in real-time, ensuring optimal results while minimizing the risk of over-treatment.
Facetite provides dual benefits by simultaneously tightening the skin and reducing fat. The heat from the RF energy causes the skin to contract, leading to immediate skin tightening, while also disrupting fat cells, which are then naturally removed by the body’s lymphatic system over time.
Facetite is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten the skin and reduce fat on the face and neck. This innovative treatment stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Facetite provides dual benefits by tightening the skin and contouring the face, all with minimal downtime. It’s an ideal option for individuals looking to address mild to moderate skin laxity without undergoing surgery.
FaceTite combines radiofrequency waves with traditional liposuction.
First, your provider will apply local anesthesia to the treatment area and make a small incision. They’ll then insert a small device with electrodes to deliver radiofrequency waves that liquify fat cells.
While radiofrequency waves are emitted, a separate tube suctions out the now-liquified fat. The radiofrequency portion of the procedure has a double purpose, as the waves also help stimulate collagen fibers beneath your skin.
Your skin naturally loses collagen with age, which can in turn increase the appearance of pores, age spots, and wrinkles. Building collagen back may help make your skin look toned and smoother.
Facetite is designed to tighten the skin and improve facial contours without affecting your ability to make facial expressions. The procedure targets specific areas of the face and neck where skin laxity is a concern, leaving surrounding muscles and nerves unaffected. This means that you should retain your full range of facial expressions after treatment.
Facetite is a minimally invasive procedure that typically does not result in permanent loss of sensation. Temporary numbness or altered sensation in the treated areas may occur, but this is usually temporary and resolves as the skin heals. Most patients regain normal sensation within a few weeks to months after the procedure.
It is generally safe to have another Facetite treatment once you have fully recovered from the previous one. This typically means waiting until any swelling, bruising, or redness has subsided, which can take a few days to a week. It’s important to follow your provider’s recommendations for follow-up appointments and to discuss the timing of any additional treatments with them to ensure they are spaced appropriately for your safety and optimal results.
