Can I still have FaceTite done even if my skin is thin?

Question

If after having lipo with vaser hi-def and morpheus8 can i still have FaceTite done even if my skin is thin?

Michelle Jones Singer, MD · Answer

Yes, you can still have FaceTite after VASER hi-def lipo and Morpheus8, even with thinner skin. But you’ll need an in person evaluation. Thin skin can be treated, but your provider must use very careful settings to avoid contour irregularities. I suggest a consultation to determine if FaceTite is the safest and most effective option for you.

Hello and thank you for your question!  Generally speaking, you can still do Facetite after these treatments and with thin skin.  The beauty of the InMode technology (maker of Morpheus8 and Facetite) is it is fully customizable.  The provider performing the treatment has the ability to adjust the Radio Frequency level (energy that is used to tighten the dermis and epidermis) to accommodate the patient's skin type while still getting a complete treatment.  I recommend you have an in-person consultation with a provider to make sure you are a candidate.  Good luck!

I think so.  The Vaser seems to still be used by some providers... when reviewed in the literature it never added benefit when compared to liposuction (except making it easier on the surgeon).  I would think that FaceTite and then traditional lipo with Morpheus would be the usual routine for most patient even with thin skin... for my patients, that combination has been very safe.  Best Wishes!!

Hi,
Thanks for your quetion. Unfortunately without photos I am not able to provide a specific answer to your concerns or determine if you are a suitable candidate. 
However i can give you some medical information based on my experience. 
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and contour the skin on the face and neck but also the body ( bodytite) . It is a good option for patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to avoid more invasive surgical procedures like a facelift/ arm lift/ abdominoplasty. 
If you have thin skin, it may be more prone to damage or irregularities during the FaceTite procedure. However, the surgeon can evaluate your skin and determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure based on your individual circumstances and expectations. 
I would suggest to make an appointment with a surgeon expert in body contouring and skin tightening who can assess your specific situation and recommend the best course of treatment for you. They can also discuss any potential risks and benefits associated with the procedure.
Hope this helps,
All the best,
Dr Giuseppe Fiore

In my opinion, FaceTite can be done on people with thin skin.  This should not pose a problem with performing the procedure or the results.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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

People with thin skin are often candidates for FaceTite procedures.  It's always best to be evaluated in person by an experienced provider.  Be sure to discuss your goals for treatment so that the best procedure can be recommended for you.
