What is FaceTite?

FaceTite is a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin tightening procedure that uses radiofrequency energy. This advanced system is designed for contouring the face and smaller body areas. It targets the dermis (deeper layer of skin) to tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production, and provides skin-renewing benefits that continue for weeks or months after treatment.

Am I a good candidate for FaceTite?

You may be a good candidate for FaceTite if you’re bothered by moderate loose skin and excess fat of the face or neck. This treatment may be recommended to tighten the skin in a variety of areas, including:

Forehead
Brow
Eyes
Cheeks
Mouth
Nasolabial folds
Jowls and jawline
Neck

What should I expect with a FaceTite treatment?

A FaceTite procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Mesa uses a handheld applicator to pass radiofrequency energy through a tiny electrode placed above the skin and a thin probe inserted under the skin through a small incision.

The probe and electrode are slowly and simultaneously moved over the skin in the treatment area. The procedure takes approximately 40 minutes to perform, and delivers results that are immediately visible and continue to improve over time.

Is there any downtime after FaceTite?

Recovery is minimal after a FaceTite procedure. You can return home shortly after treatment and resume normal activities within 48 hours. Most patients return to work within three to five days, or sooner. You can expect some swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness, or itching in the treatment area which should subside in several days. You will need to wear a compression garment for the best results. The tiny incisions used in this procedure typically heal quickly.

FAQ

How does FaceTite work?

The radiofrequency energy used in FaceTite technology gently heats the outer layer and the deeper layer of skin, causing tissues to contract, which destroys fat and stimulates the body’s natural healing response. In the weeks and months following a FaceTite treatment, the destroyed fat cells are naturally shed by your body, while at the same time new collagen is produced. This creates smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin.

How soon will I see results?

Results can be seen immediately after a FaceTite procedure. The best and final result will appear in six to twelve weeks following treatment.

What are the main benefits of FaceTite?

FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure to firm and tighten the skin with a high rate of patient satisfaction. It is among the safest and most advanced facial rejuvenation procedures. Compared with traditional surgical techniques, FaceTite doesn’t require large incisions or scars. If you have moderate skin laxity and excess fat of the face or neck, FaceTite can take years off your appearance in a single treatment.
