FaceTite v Accutite? Would it give the same results?

Question

I believe that Accutite is smaller. But I was told that Accutite can also be used on face, chin and neck. Would it give the same results? I assume since it is smaller their is less chance of scoring so if it works as well for double chins why is it harder to find than Facetite?

Hello,

Accutite is a smaller version of the Facetite hand piece, they both use the same radifrequency technology. Therefore, Accutite is used to treat a smaller area such as sub mental (under the chin) or nasolabial folds whereas Facetite treats the entire low face and neck.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question! Facetite addresses the lower face and neck. While, Accutite addresses smaller areas on the face such as eyes, chin, and NLF. The hand pieces are different in size, whereas the Facetite hand-piece can reach the length of the jawline, yet to big for the under eye area. Hope this answers your question!

Yes same technology and energy -just a smaller needle!  Choosing between the two is really up to the doctor and the size of the areas you want to treat.  Best Wishes!!!  Great technology!

The difference between AccuTite and FaceTite are the sizes of the handpieces. Accutite is much smaller and it is generally used to treat small areas like the nasolabial fold, knees, lower and upper eyelids. AccuTite can also treat the jowls and neck. The FaceTite hand piece is bigger and treats the neck and  jowls. It cannot treats the smaller areas on the face because of it's size. The Radiofrequency used is the same.

they are exactly the same, large areas cannot get a good results with accutite and facetite can be too powerful for small areas. so please see an expert (see link).

These use the same technology to help to tighten the skin.  Facetite was available first, and it is great for tightening the lower face and neck.  Accutite is a smaller probe, and is therefore used in smaller areas, such as the lower eyelid.  It can also be used in the neck and jawline.  However when doing the lower face, it is just a little easier to use the facetite since it is a longer probe.  But they will both work. Accutite was approved for use after Facetite but most providers should have both.
