FaceTite Improves Skin Laxity

A revolutionary facial rejuvenation treatment, FaceTite uses radiofrequency heat energy to contour and tighten the skin from the inside out. With FaceTite technology, the bipolar probe delivers thermal energy both under and on top of the skin causing energy to penetrate more deeply than other radiofrequency treatments. The probe is inserted into a small opening in the skin to deliver thermal energy into facial tissues while an external electrode on top on the skin stimulates skin tightening. The probe and electrode work simultaneously, slowly moving over the skin. The heating effect melts targeted fat cells while stimulating collagen and elastin, tightening the structural support of the skin. The result is a more contoured rejuvenated appearance of the face and neck.

FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure, performed in our office using local anesthesia. A small incision is made at the edge of the jaw. The handheld probe is inserted into the incision. The probe is moved slowly, delivering thermal energy both under and on top of the skin. The energy waves melt or liquefies facial fat while stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This combination improves facial contouring and tightens skin. The equipment has safeguards and monitoring in place to ensure that the energy is deliverrf in a safe, precise and effective manner. The procedure itself takes about one hour. 

Recovery from the procedure generally lasts 3 days. Regular activities can resume 48 hours after the procedure. Most patients return to work within the first 3 days. There may be some mild swelling, soreness or bruising from the treated areas, this will resolve within the first week.
