What Is FaceTite? 

As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity, and this can create undesired looseness. For people looking to tighten the skin of their face and achieve a new, youthful glow, FaceTite is an exciting new option. This procedure is typically most effective on the lower half of the face. It uses RFAL (radiofrequency assisted liposuction) to sculpt the face. This helps us remove unwanted fat while promoting collagen growth, which is an essential component of healthy skin. Liposuction is combined with technology that allows us to control radiofrequency, speeding up the process. 

Who Is a Candidate for FaceTite? 

FaceTite is an exciting and effective procedure, but not everyone will be a good candidate. This procedure will be most useful for people who are struggling with the appearance of the chin, the jaw, and the cheeks, as well as the neck in some cases. Patients should be in good health and should be willing to stop smoking before and after the FaceTite procedure. There are fewer risks associated with this procedure when compared to a facelift, but there are still risks that we’ll discuss with you during our consultation. We’ll also talk about your medical history to make sure you don’t have any conditions that would prevent you from being a candidate. Finally, ideal patients are willing to be open about their expectations. While FaceTite offers convenient and substantial results, the results may not be as permanent or dramatic as the ones offered by a more traditional facelift. 

What to Expect During a FaceTite Procedure 

We’ll give you the full rundown on how to prepare for this procedure, and we’re ready to answer any questions so that you’re feeling comfortable and confident. You might need to stop taking certain medications, like blood thinners, to make sure that the procedure goes smoothly. You might also want to arrange for someone to drive you home from the procedure. 

Local anesthesia is usually used for FaceTite, meaning you’ll be awake but comfortable. Once you’re ready, we’ll begin by making a small, precise cut in the targeted area. Using a tiny device, we’ll send radiofrequency energy into the face to break down fat, making it much easier to remove. We’ll then use a separate piece of technology to suction the fat out of the face. Radiofrequency is also incredibly beneficial because of its ability to stimulate the production of collagen, which can help fight certain parts of the aging process.
