I am 71 and need to know if collagen & elastin is not produced in an older patient. So the benefits would be moot.
Answer: Age as contraindication There is no contraindication for Facetite. I have found that some older patients can receive a robust response from the device. The results are not meant to replace surgery but as a surgical alternative. Best Anil Shah

Answer: Age Limits To answer your question generally, no there is no strict age limit to receiving FaceTite procedures. While proteins (such as collagen and elastin) definitely decline as we age, our body still produces them in some amount (given there is no diagnosed disorder affecting this). It is difficult to say if you are a candidate without seeing photos. It is best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with FaceTite and BodyTite as well as other cosmetic procedures to be able to plan the best outcome for you personally.Best of luck!

Answer: Age prohibition for FaceTite or ArmTite Overall medical health is more important than age in determining your candidacy for FaceTite or ArmTite procedures. Patients who opt for Facetite are seeking a more youthful look but do not want to deal with an invasive surgery, scars, or long recovery time. Results typically depend upon the level of undermining, level of support of deeper tissues, and other patient dependent factors; Facetite, typically lasts for five years, but it can be combined with Fractora to provide improved results over time.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: FaceTite and BodyTite Age Restrictions Hi and thanks for the question.Your body will not cease to produce collagen/elastin as you get older, although your ability to health and generate soft-tissue may be impeded with age. That being said, it is possible to see improvements with FaceTite/BodtyTite at any age, and hence it should be a strong consideration in someone seeking soft-tissue tightening in a minimally-invasive manner. I recommend you seek a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to see if this procedure is the best option for you.Warmest Regards, Doctor Vallecillos, MD, FACS, Diplomate, American Board of Plastic Surgery
