I'm surprised that there are no FaceTite reviews on this site even though the treatment has been around for a while. I received Thermage threapy with no noticeable results. Is Facetite more effective? Facetite appears to be far more serious and much more "invasive" procedure. Does the more invasive approach affect its popularity? How does the effectiveness compare to Ultherapy?
Answer: Facetite vs Thermage vs Ultherapy Let's explain the difference between these 3 types of procedures. Facetite is more like a scarless surgical procedure since it involves the insertion of a radiofrequency probe underneath the skin through a needle entry point. The science has shown that fat will coagulate at 40-42 degrees Centigrade. Patients can actually hear visible popping of fat and some contraction is seen during the procedure. Temperatures are highly regulated (1000 x per second). In my opinion, this offers patients the most robust version of a non-surgical facelift to date and offers patients a viable alternative to facelifts. While results will likely be the most dramatic with Facetite, patients will have the most downtime with this procedure.Thermage uses an external applicator and attempts to bulk heat the soft tissue through the epidermis. Temperature is not as highly regulated and it is very hard for an external bulk heating device to visibly affect tissues. Results on thermage are highly variable end. Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to travel through the skin to contract the underlying SMAS layer. Ultherapy has been around for several years and seems to be more of a maintenance device with a much smaller percentage of patients experiencing lifting like effects. Ultherapy is not designed to coagulate/contract fat.These newer technologies represent exciting approaches to scarless face, neck, and body contraction of tissues.

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Facetite vs Thermage Facetite differs from thermage in the method with which the radiofrequency energy is delivered to the skin. Thermage is an external probe that delivers energy through one contact point externally. The facetite has an internal probe and an external probe, so the skin is treated from both sides. This allows thermal contraction of the skin's full thickness and the connective tissue in the fat layer below the skin. The results speak for themselves.

Answer: FaceTite Thank you for your question. FaceTite is a new procedure that utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to simultaneously dissolve fat and tighten the skin. The key the use of radiofrequency energy provides controlled and gentle heat that encourages both the breakdown of fat and the production of collagen within the body. FaceTite results are long-lasting and immediately visible. Ultherapy utilizes ultrasound therapy that is used to stimulate collagen production in the inner layers of the skin. For more information, please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Answer: FaceTite vs Thermage vs. Ultherapy FaceTite is a newer technology that utilizes radiofrequency energy (which has been around for many years) to cause skin tightening. I think what is unique about it is the delivery of the heat energy with both an internal and external heat application which helps to very specifically target tissue unlike other types of RF technology like Thermage. FaceTite is a minimially-invasive procedure which targets the deeper tissue which makes the results much more predictable and permanent.
