FAQ

What is AccuTite?

AccuTite is a minimally-invasive treatment designed to tighten skin and reduce small pockets of fat in hard-to-reach areas, such as around the eyes, brows, nasolabial folds, lower face, and neck. It uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver heat beneath the skin, which helps melt fat and stimulate collagen production. This process promotes firmer, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance, offering results similar to surgical treatments but without the need for incisions. AccuTite is an excellent option for those looking to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin with minimal downtime.

How painful is AccuTite?

AccuTite is generally well-tolerated by most patients. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and some patients may receive light sedation to ensure comfort throughout the treatment. You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort during the procedure, but it is not considered painful. Afterward, you may experience minor swelling or tenderness in the treated areas, but these side effects typically fade within a few days.

How long does it take to recover from AccuTite eyes?

Recovery from AccuTite is generally quick. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days, though mild swelling and bruising are common during the first week. Depending on the area treated, wearing a compression garment may be recommended to enhance results. You’ll start to see noticeable improvements within a few days, but the best results will continue to develop over six weeks and may improve further for up to 12 months as collagen production increases and the skin tightens.

What are the side effects of AccuTite?

The most common side effects of AccuTite include mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated areas. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve within five to seven days. Because AccuTite is minimally-invasive and FDA-cleared, there are no major risks associated with the procedure, such as those typically associated with traditional surgery, like infection or large scars. Most patients can resume their usual activities within a few days post-treatment.

What is the downtime for AccuTite?

AccuTite is a minimally-invasive procedure, but it’s important to allow yourself a few days to rest at home after treatment. You may need to take a couple of days off from your usual activities, as swelling and bruising are common during this time. Most people feel ready to return to work or light activities within two to three days, though full recovery can take up to 10 days, with results continuing to improve over time.

Can you drive after AccuTite?

You should plan to have someone drive you home after your AccuTite treatment. Since sedation is often used to ensure comfort, it’s not safe to drive yourself afterward. Even with just local anesthesia, you may experience mild after-effects, so arranging a ride is the best option.

Is AccuTite worth it?

Many patients find AccuTite to be worth it not only because it’s less invasive but also because it’s more affordable than traditional plastic surgery. AccuTite offers noticeable skin tightening and fat reduction without the need for large incisions or a long recovery period. Patients who want the benefits of facial contouring and smoother skin with minimal downtime often find this treatment to be a great alternative to surgery, delivering results that continue to improve over time.

How long does AccuTite last?

AccuTite results can last for several years, but this depends on various factors such as your age, skin quality, and lifestyle. The radiofrequency energy used in AccuTite stimulates collagen production, leading to long-lasting skin tightening and fat reduction. While the treatment doesn’t stop the aging process, the effects are noticeable and durable, with improvements continuing for up to 12 months after the procedure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong the results.

What does AccuTite do?

AccuTite works by using radiofrequency (RF) energy to target both fat and loose skin. During the treatment, a small wand delivers RF energy to the deeper layers of the skin, gently heating the tissue. This process breaks down fat cells and stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten and firm the skin over time. The heat also promotes tissue coagulation, which leads to smoother, more contoured skin with a reduction in wrinkles and sagging. The precision of the RF energy allows for targeted treatment in small, delicate areas with minimal downtime.

Is AccuTite better than liposuction?

AccuTite and liposuction are both effective tools, but they serve slightly different purposes. AccuTite is ideal for those looking to reduce small pockets of fat and tighten skin in targeted areas without the need for surgery. It’s non-invasive and has minimal downtime, making it a great choice for patients who want to avoid a lengthy recovery. However, if a large amount of fat needs to be removed, liposuction may provide more dramatic results. To determine if AccuTite is the right treatment for you, you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Daube, who will evaluate your needs and help you choose the best option.
