Facetite risks include skin burns, asymmetry, temporary numbness or decreased sensation, and nerve injury. In experienced hands, these risks are minimized. Phillip Dauwe, M.D.
I have never heard of the term Facetite before. It may be a cute term used for marketing purposes. If it is non surgical, I can assure you that it doesn't work. Make sure you go to a reputable plastic surgeon for a facelift if you are considering such surgery.
You should ask the plastic surgeon about this procedure. It is also important to be realistic about what results can be expected. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Your medical history is needed for me to give you a full description of the risks and possible side effects; but generally, the main side effects are some bleeding, scarring and possible nerve injury. Every patient is different and it is important that you seek a board-certified plastic surgeon, schedule for a consultation appointment, and ask the surgeon about the specific details of your procedure.
The main risks are bleeding, scarring, nerve injury but each situation is unique and only your surgeon knows the specific details of your procedure and should be the person commenting on questions such as this
You should find a physician or surgeon in your area who offers "Facetite," schedule an appointment, and have your questions answered in person, as the procedure applies to you. Look at before and after treatment photos of patients who have had Facetite sessions, and critically evaluate the results to help decide whether or not you wish to proceed.
FaceTite is a radiofrequency energy that is generally combined with light liposuction and fluid injection. It is generally safe and a simple procedure however there are risks of skin burns, contour irregularity, temporary nerve damage which can result in smile asymmetry, and nodules (typically temporary). In general, it is well tolerated in the office with sometimes some temporary bruising and swelling immediately after the procedure.
Hi and thanks for the question.FaceTite, per se, is a very safe procedure when performed in experienced hands. The device is based on a radio frequency platform which creates and disperses energy in a bipolar manner. This energy can potentially cause damage to skin in the form of a burn, and to nerves in the form of acute-on-chronic nerve damage. These risks can be easily avoided - this requires a sound understanding of anatomy accompanied by following standard procedural guidelines. As one of the luminary practices of FaceTite and BodyTite in Beverly Hills, we have a vast amount of experience with the device and have not experienced anything that would be considered a "complication". Having said that, before choosing to proceed with a FaceTite Treatment, I would strongly recommend you find a qualified plastic surgeon with a lot of FaceTite experience - this will optimize your chances of having good experience and an excellent result.Warmest Regards,Doctor Vallecillos, MD, FACS, Diplomate, American Board of Plastic Surgery
FaceTite is considered one of the industry’s most advanced and safest facial rejuvenating and skin contouring procedures. FaceTite uses the same kind of radiofrequency technology used in MRIs, Thermage and other medical treatments that have been safely performed for years. FaceTite was developed to treat delicate areas of skin without causing cellular damage to tissues.Risks are the potential for a skin burn. However, it has a dual temperature sensor that prevents this from happening.
Good question! In the hands of an experienced surgeon, there should be little to no side effects. However there is the potential for small skin burns or asymmetry.
Facetite is designed to contract fat and the dermal matrix at specific temperatures. Sculptra's effect is in part due to the body's inflammatory reaction to poly-l-lactic acid. There are case reports of bulk heating and ultrasound based energy being helpful with Sculptra so it is t...

The makers of FaceTite have produced a device that measures the amount of energy applied to the subdermal and fat layer as well as the temperature continuously and in real time. There is never a moment in which your surgeon has to unsure about how the device is heating the tissue. In the f...
