What is FaceTite?

FaceTite is a minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted contouring treatment that tightens skin and reduces small pockets of fat beneath the surface. Using a small probe placed under the skin and an external electrode above it, FaceTite delivers controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy. This process:

  • Gently melts and reduces unwanted fat
  • Contracts soft tissue for a tightening effect
  • Stimulates collagen production for improved skin quality

The internal and external RF energy delivers controlled thermal stimulation, enabling precise contouring and skin tightening at deeper levels than non-invasive treatments.

Benefits of FaceTite

  • Improves sagging along the jawline and lower face
  • Reduces small fat deposits under the chin and cheeks
  • Enhances facial contours and definition
  • Tightens skin with minimal incisions
  • Stimulates long-term collagen remodeling
  • Offers noticeable improvement without a full surgical facelift
  • Shorter recovery compared to traditional surgery

Are You a Candidate for FaceTite?

This treatment is best suited for patients who want more noticeable tightening than non-invasive treatments can provide, without undergoing full surgery. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower face or neck
  • Notice early jowling or loss of jawline definition
  • Have small areas of stubborn fat beneath the skin
  • Prefer a minimally invasive approach with a shorter recovery

We will also assess:

  • Skin elasticity and thickness
  • Degree of laxity and fat volume
  • Overall health and healing ability
  • Whether surgical or combined treatments would better achieve your goals

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Consultation

Your consultation focuses on understanding facial structure, skin laxity, and contour. We assess whether FaceTite alone will achieve your goals or if it should be combined with other treatments.

You’ll receive a detailed treatment plan outlining:

  • Target areas
  • Expected level of improvement
  • Whether additional procedures are recommended

Pricing varies based on treatment complexity and areas addressed. A personalized quote is provided during your visit.

Procedure

  • Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort
  • A small probe is inserted beneath the skin through tiny entry points
  • RF energy is delivered between internal and external electrodes
  • Fat is gently liquefied and removed or naturally absorbed
  • Tissue contraction and tightening occur during treatment
  • The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the areas treated

Recovery and Results

  • Immediately after: Swelling, mild bruising, and tenderness are expected.
  • First 1–2 weeks: Visible swelling subsides; early contour improvements appear.
  • 4–6 weeks: Skin tightening becomes more noticeable.
  • 3–6 months: Continued collagen remodeling enhances final results.

Alternative or Related Treatments

  • Morpheus8 for surface-level and dermal remodeling
  • Injectables for volume and wrinkle correction

FAQs

How is FaceTite different from a facelift?

How do I maintain my FaceTite results?

How is FaceTite different from a facelift?

FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and contour skin without large incisions or excess skin removal. In contrast, a facelift involves surgical repositioning of tissue and removal of excess skin for more significant corrections.

Will FaceTite leave scars?

FaceTite uses very small entry points, typically placed in discreet areas. These heal well and are usually barely visible once fully recovered.

Is FaceTite performed under general anesthesia?

No. FaceTite is typically performed using local anesthesia, sometimes with mild sedation. This allows for a more comfortable experience without the need for general anesthesia.

Can FaceTite replace a facelift completely?

For some patients with mild to moderate laxity, FaceTite can provide enough improvement to delay or avoid surgery. However, patients with more significant sagging may still benefit more from a surgical facelift for optimal results.

What are the risks and side effects of FaceTite?

Common side effects include:

  • Swelling and bruising
  • Temporary numbness or tenderness
  • Mild discomfort during recovery

Less common risks may include:

  • Irregular contouring
  • Prolonged swelling
  • Infection or delayed healing

When performed by experienced providers, complications are uncommon, and careful technique helps minimize these risks.

How do I maintain my FaceTite results?

  • Follow a consistent, medical-grade skincare routine
  • Protect your skin from sun exposure
  • Maintain a stable weight
  • Consider complementary treatments over time
