Facetite vs jplasma for jawline skin tightening: Which is better

Question

Post weight loss with some lose skin in lower face, mostly above jawline. Heared and saw both facetite and jplasma performed in this area. Which is better? Is there any value of doing both? And if so how long in between?

Hi and thank you for your question. I consider Facetite and JPlasma to be the most aggressive technologies to date to rejuvenation the skin in a minimally invasive manner. However, work in completely different ways. Facetite uses radio frequency energy to heat up the skin from the undersurface. There is also some degree of coagulation of the fat. The heating results in a buildup of collagen in the skin. Jplasma, being more aggressive uses a superheated state of atmospheric gas to induce a controlled degree of thermal injury to the surface of the skin, resulting in extensive remodeling and improvement of fine and moderate wrinkles. The results can be excellent, but there could be a greater risk of thermal injury.

It can also be used on the undersurface of the skin to provide tightening and collagen buildup. I regard JPlasma
As being more aggressive. The results can be spectacular, but there is perhaps a greater risk of thermal injury. I therefore consider them to be different, and not necessarily competing modalities. I would therefore not use them together.

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
