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.
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.
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 on the face or neck, your experience with our FaceTite treatment in NYC can take years off your appearance in a single treatment.
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:
Dr. John Mesa is a board-certified plastic surgeon who focuses his practice on cosmetic surgery of the face, neck, breast, and body. He is trusted by his patients to achieve exceptional results and has a five-star rating on RealSelf.com. Dr. Mesa’s passion is to make you look your best in the most attractive, natural way, and has achieved truly remarkable results in facial rejuvenation with FaceTite in NYC, New Jersey and Miami.
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.
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.
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.
