Can FaceTite be done more than once, if so, how long to wait? Would I get improvement every time?

Question

have lost 90lb and have some lose skin/heaviness in lower face. Have seen impressive results with embrace RF but don't think a single treatment would give me the results I want. I am in my 30s so not ready for a facelift and have been told that facelift won't solve my problem. The heaviness makes my face looks bigger but no jowling or extra skin in the direction in which facelift is preformed!

Remember, Facetite is subcutaneous radiofrequency thru the skin. Combined with the microneedling RF device called Morpheous8, this combination of treatments is called EmbraceRF. This later combined procedure is not nearly as strong as an actual face lift, especially if that is what you really need. The diagnosis and which treatment plan you need, should be determined by a physician who can perform and who has preformed both procedures. You could have up to three procedures, waiting at least nine months between procedures, it just has to be considered what the goals are.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

FaceTite could be done more than once and I would recommend waiting at least 6 months before considering to repeat the procedure.  There should be additional improvement seen after a second treatment.

Thank you for your questions. I am unable to make a recommendation or assess how well a procedure will work for you without photos. Facetite is a system that uses radiofrequency to shrink wrap the tissues. Although the recommended treatment is one, you can certainly do it more than once. The technology relies on the stimulation of collagen production. Because this takes time, patients will continue to see improvements for up to a year after their treatment. If you were to have more than one treatment, I would recommend waiting at least 9 months between treatments. It would be best to schedule a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with the facetite machine. They will be able to assess your specific anatomy and develop a plan that is best for you. In or office, we offer 3D imaging to give our patients an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck!

The fact that you have lost 90 pounds you will have way too much skin for facetite to make a dent in. What you should consider is a definitive face and neck lift that will remove ALL of the unwanted skin from you neck. this is the GOLD STANDARD.
