Looking For Information About Face Tite

FaceTite use radiofrequency assisted liolysis (RFAL) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to remove fat and tighten the skin of the face and neck. The addition of radiofrequency energy allows FaceTite to be minimally invasive procedures with very little scarring and less recovery time than a surgical facelift.It can reduce the amount of fat under your chin and tighten the tissues on your neck and jowel areas, to create a more sculpted and defined neck line and jaw line. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation to keep you comfortable. You can expect to have swelling and some bruising, but you should be able to return to your normal activities in a week or less. A benefit of FaceTite is that you will see some improvement immediately, and this will continue to get better in the following months.That being said, I recommend doing a little bit of physician research prior to signing up. Look into board certified plastic surgeons who are familiar with this procedures and ask for an in person consultation where they can see if you are a good candidate for this. I also recommend asking to view before and after photo that surgeon has of their own patients. Best of luck!

The FaceTite/NeckTite device is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) device that is temperature controlled with probe that runs under the skin in a percutaneous or subdermal manner and another probe that runs over the top of the skin.  The RF energy flows from the deep probe, unidirectionally, to the surface probe and the tissue tightens between the probe.  I tell patients that there is no surgery, no scalpels and no sutures, as the "port holes" or openings for the percutaneous probe are made with a needle.  I use the FaceTite/NeckTite device mainly on the lower face and neck areas.  It will help to tighten the neck, submental area, jawline, jowls and lower face.  I can regularly get about a 30-40% improvement in the areas that I listed above.

Although Facetite is a radiofrequency-based energy, it is quite different than other radiofrequency devices in that the energy is delivered below the skin with an energy applicator.  This makes Facetite more comparable to Thermi than Thermage.  There are important distinctions between Facetite and Thermi.  Here are several factors to consider with Facetite:-Procedure- Most often performed in the office setting with a mild oral relaxation medication.  Patients are then injected with local and tumescence.  Most patients tolerate the procedure quite well.-Recovery time- Varies depending on the extent of the procedure.  Most patients are recommended to take a week off of work due to swelling from the effects of subdermal radiofrequency, however, some surprisingly go to work the next day.  -Results-  Facetite has been to date FDA approved for about 1 year and is relatively new in the United States.  Facetite is designed to contract fat and tighten skin.  I view Facetite as a tool that surgeons can use to tighten skin and contract fat.  For patients seeking an alternative to facelift surgery, this offers patients a viable alternative.  A facelift will still offer patients a more dramatic result, however, now patients can at least look at other options.
