FaceTite

FaceTite is comparable to a surgical facelift, without the large scars. It provides dramatic improvement in skin laxity on the face and neck, which was previously only attainable through a surgical procedure such as a facelift. FaceTite utilizes minimally invasive radio-frequency energy to melt fat and tighten skin for a younger looking complexion.

FAQs

What is FaceTite?

FaceTite is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to tighten and contour the face and neck by reducing sagging skin and excess fat. Using radiofrequency energy, FaceTite stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother skin and more defined facial features without significant downtime.

What is the FaceTite procedure?

The FaceTite procedure involves a tiny incision through which a specialized device delivers radiofrequency energy directly beneath the skin’s surface. This energy gently heats the targeted tissues, tightening skin and melting away excess fat. The procedure typically takes about an hour and is performed using local anesthesia.

What is the downside of FaceTite?

FaceTite is generally safe, but like any cosmetic treatment, there can be mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising during recovery. Rarely, patients may experience temporary numbness or uneven results. It’s important to have realistic expectations and discuss all potential risks during your consultation.

What do you look like right after FaceTite?

Immediately after FaceTite, mild redness, swelling, and tenderness are common. Most patients describe the appearance as similar to mild sunburn, and these effects typically subside significantly within a few days.

How long should swelling last after FaceTite?

Swelling after FaceTite usually peaks within the first 2 to 4 days and gradually improves. Most noticeable swelling subsides within one to two weeks, though mild swelling can persist slightly longer, especially around delicate areas like the eyes.

How long before you see results from FaceTite?

You may notice initial tightening immediately after treatment, but the most significant improvements develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as collagen production increases and skin continues to firm and smooth.

Does FaceTite cause bruising?

Bruising can occur after FaceTite but is generally mild and resolves within 7 to 10 days. Avoiding blood-thinning medications before treatment can help minimize the risk of bruising.

Who is not a good candidate for FaceTite?

FaceTite may not be suitable for individuals with significant skin laxity or very loose skin, as surgical procedures may provide better results. Those with active infections, severe chronic health conditions, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also avoid the treatment.

How long to wear compression after FaceTite?

Wearing a compression garment is typically recommended for about 3 to 5 days continuously, followed by nightly wear for another 1 to 2 weeks. Compression helps reduce swelling and supports the treated area as it heals.

How to sleep after FaceTite?

After FaceTite, sleeping with your head elevated for the first few days can significantly reduce swelling and promote quicker recovery. Using extra pillows or sleeping in a reclining chair can be beneficial.

When can I shower after FaceTite?

You can usually shower gently 24 hours after your FaceTite procedure. It’s essential to keep the treated area clean and dry, avoiding direct pressure or hot water during the initial recovery phase.

FaceTite recovery time?

Most patients recover quickly from FaceTite, typically resuming normal activities within 3 to 5 days. Mild swelling and bruising may linger slightly longer, but full healing generally occurs within two weeks.

What to expect after FaceTite?

After FaceTite, expect mild swelling, redness, and tenderness for a few days. Results gradually improve as swelling subsides and collagen remodeling progresses. Optimal results become noticeable within 3 to 6 months post-treatment.

What is FaceTite treatment?

FaceTite treatment is a minimally invasive procedure using radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, reduce facial sagging, and eliminate fat without extensive surgery. It is popular due to its effectiveness, minimal discomfort, and quick recovery compared to traditional facelift surgery.

How much does FaceTite cost?

FaceTite cost varies based on the treatment area, geographic location, and individual patient needs. Generally, prices range from $3,000 to $7,000. Consulting with your specialist will provide a precise quote tailored to your goals.

How long does FaceTite last?

FaceTite results typically last around 3 to 5 years, depending on individual skin condition, age, lifestyle, and skincare habits. Maintaining a healthy skincare routine and protecting your skin from sun damage can extend the longevity of your results.

How does FaceTite work?

FaceTite works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin, which heats tissue to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin. The process also dissolves excess fat, resulting in more defined facial contours and improved skin elasticity.

FaceTite Disclaimer (Face Only)

Results may vary from patient to patient and although FacetTite results are typically successful, these results are not guaranteed. 

Before deciding if FaceTite is the appropriate procedure for your desired outcomes, please consult your doctor about any medical conditions you may have including but not limited to a recent surgery, pre-existing medical conditions, and/or any known sensitivities or allergies.

Treatment: FaceTite treatment involves applying heat to the adipose (fat) tissue and dermis using radiofrequency for therapeutic purposes and is normally tolerable for patients. 

Risks: Before undergoing treatment, it is important to read and have a clear understanding of the possible experiences and/or risks associated with the procedure:

  • Temporary bruising and/or swelling of the face
  • Temporary redness of the treated area
  • Potential for scarring, though highly unlikely

The physicians at Gulf Coast Facial Plastics assess every patient on an individual basis and will only perform procedures they are confident in.
