What's the difference between Profound and FaceTite for turkey neck and jowls?

Question

They seem to be similar price points, similar down time, and similar results. Is one superior over the other? Seems like although FaceTite has a higher rating here it might be more invasive which makes me nervous (when I read the number of reviews on this site with people saying they have facial numbness/paralysis for a long time after the procedure). I have a little turkey neck and am getting jowly which is why I'm interested in either procedure.

Facetite is combined with micro needling RF like profound or morpheus (I find to be better) to get improved results.  if neck is significantly sagging, then a lift would be needed.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

Thoughtful question! FaceTite has a probe that is passed underneath the skin in the upper fatty layer in the presence of tumescent anesthesia. Profound uses intradermal and subdermal anesthesia with microneedles that passes 2 to 3 mm under the skin. Due to the depth of the probe, FaceTite has an increased chance of affecting the marginal mandibular nerve and producing changes that can last for to 10 weeks. Both produce excellent results on the jawline and jowls.
