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, as well as provides skin-renewing benefits that continue for weeks or months after our treatment of FaceTite in NYC.

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.

What are the main benefits of FaceTite?
FaceTite in NYC 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 on the face or neck, your experience with our FaceTite treatment in NYC can take years off your appearance in a single treatment.
Am I a good candidate for FaceTite?

- Forehead
- Brow
- Eyes

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 in NYC with Dr. Mesa. 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.
FaceTite FAQ
Results can be seen immediately after a FaceTite procedure. The best and final result will appear in six to twelve weeks following treatment.
FaceTite is an innovative, FDA-approved technology that comes with a built-in safety feature. The handpiece communicates real-time feedback to the practitioner to help ensure a safe, even radiofrequency energy output during treatment. If the energy output reaches a maximum level, the device shuts off automatically. Radiofrequency energy in general is safe and gentle and does not come with the risks of scarring or infection associated with a surgical facelift.
Yes, definitely! FaceTite is highly versatile and can enhance any surgical procedure, especially chin augmentation, blepharoplasty, and facelift surgery. FaceTite can also be combined with non-invasive treatment options such as Morpheus8 and laser therapy to create a comprehensive makeover. During your consultation, our team can create a customized treatment plan using FaceTite combined with other cosmetic solutions to help target and eradicate the signs of aging.
FaceTite fees vary, depending on the size of the targeted areas and on whether you receive additional treatments at the same time. Because FaceTite is a cosmetic procedure and has no medical purpose, insurance companies do not typically provide coverage. It’s important to weigh out all the money you may be spending on less effective methods of skincare, however. FaceTite may actually save you money by offering a long-lasting skin rejuvenation outcome that continues to impress for 1-5 years.

Two years ago, I had buccal fat removal done in the UK, but the surgeon was only able to treat one side and told me there was no buccal fat on my right side. Ever since, I’ve been dealing with noticeable facial asymmetry, which really started to bug me.
After doing a lot of research, I came across Dr. Mesa and saw the countless buccal fat removal procedures he’s done and immediately felt confident he was the right choice. I ended up flying from London to New Jersey specifically to see him, and it was 100% worth it.
From the moment I arrived, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Dr. Mesa was incredibly reassuring, and within minutes he was able to locate the buccal fat that my previous surgeon couldn’t find. The procedure itself was completely painless, which honestly surprised me, because my initial one in the uk I felt pain.
Now, after two years of dealing with asymmetry, it’s such a relief to finally have it resolved. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
I also want to mention Cristina and the rest of the staff, they were absolutely fantastic and guided me through every step of the process, making the whole experience stress-free.
Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Dr. Mesa to anyone considering this procedure.
After years trying to trust my face with someone I finally found Dr Mesa.
Dr Mesa make me feel amazing and finally look at the mirror and love my self with this amazing jaw line

Thank you Dr Mesa and all the staff,
I’m 100% satisfied with my results.
