FaceTite is a minimally invasive treatment that tightens skin and reduces small pockets of fat along the jawline, chin and cheeks. A thin probe is placed beneath the skin and paired with an external electrode, so radiofrequency energy passes through the tissue between them. That heat contracts the tissue and stimulates collagen while liquefying fat, which is then drawn off through the same probe.
It is done under local anaesthetic and sits between non-surgical tightening and surgery in both result and recovery. Patients with more pronounced sagging are usually better served by a facelift, which repositions the deeper tissue rather than shrinking it. Swelling and bruising for a week or two are normal, and the final contour settles over several months as collagen builds. A consultation is the way to tell whether your degree of laxity suits it, and Beautifi can help you compare qualified providers and financing.
FaceTite is a cosmetic procedure that targets sagging skin and wrinkles while melting fat and tightening the skin. By using radiofrequency and liposuction in a small device, tiny incisions are made in the skin to remodel the tissue and change the contours, leaving patients with a younger, more toned appearance.
FaceTite is an ideal treatment for those who have mild to moderate skin laxity on their face or neck. Good candidates have sagging skin, unwanted contours on their face, and reasonable expectations.
FaceTite is primarily used to treat areas on the lower half of the face such as the chin, cheeks, and jawlines. FaceTite is also used to treat issues such as lost definition along the jawline, excess fat or fullness under the chin, jowls, and areas of the face affected by deep wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin.
For very small or delicate areas, such as around the eyes or a narrow band under the chin, AccuTite uses a smaller probe built for those sites.
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, resulting in more visible pores, age spots, and wrinkles. FaceTite uses radiofrequency waves in conjunction with traditional liposuction to reduce the appearance of aging by liquifying fat cells and stimulating collagen fibers beneath the skin. Restoring collagen to the skin will make it appear more toned and smoother.
Prior to the procedure, the patient undergoes light sedation or local anesthesia. The preferred surgeon will make an entry point incision on the skin’s outer layer, typically under the chin or around the earlobes. The FaceTite device will then be used to deliver radiofrequency waves to heat the laxity, tighten the tissue, and trigger collagen production beneath the skin’s surface.
The FaceTite procedure takes approximately 60 minutes.
Following a FaceTite procedure, patients will require 3-5 days at home. Some bruising and swelling will occur during the first week. Additionally, swelling may last up to two weeks in patients who are more prone to swelling or heal slowly. However, most patients are able to resume their daily routines and exercise within a week of the procedure.
The results of FaceTite will vary depending on the nuances of the treatment, but most patients can see a visible improvement in as little as one week once any swelling and/or bruising has subsided. After two to four months, optimal results are visible and continue to improve for up to a year after the initial treatment.
The length of the results following FaceTite varies by individual. Patients typically require only one treatment, which can last anywhere from one to five years.
The cost of FaceTite is determined by factors such as the type of skin, the surface area being treated, and the patient’s concerns and goals. Cost can also be affected by additional factors such as the physician & their experience, as well as geographic location. In Canada, a FaceTite procedure starts at around $4,000.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks. Although rare, some risks include, but are not limited to:
Scarring
Infection
Bleeding
Persistent swelling
Nerve damage
Fever and/or chills
