FaceTite vs Precision TX?

Question

Hi could someone explain the difference between these to procedures and the pros and cons. Which would be better to tighten subtle jowling of jawline. No fat under chin.

John Mesa, MD · Answer

Precision TX is a procedure that melts fat and tightens the skin using a laser ( light energy).FaceTite is a procedure that also melts fat and tightens the skin using bipolar radio frequency energy.Both procedures seems to be effective in improving the jowls. However, in my practice I have noticed that the results of FaceTite are superior to any other treatments beside facelift.

Philip Solomon, MD, FRCS · Answer

Both technologies use heat to reduce fat and tighten the overlying skin. Precision Tx uses an Nd Yag laser  whereas Facetite uses bipolar radiofrequency technology.  Both procedures are minimally invasive, effective and can  provide similar outcomes.  Facetite has a thermal coupling devise to shut off the heat at dangerous levels.  This aspect of the device increases its safety. and significantly reduces the chances of a burn to neck or facial skin.

Thank you for your question. FaceTite is a new procedure that utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to simultaneously dissolve fat and tighten the skin. The key the use of radiofrequency energy provides controlled and gentle heat that encourages both the breakdown of fat and the production of collagen within the body. Precision Tx utilizes a YAG laser to melt unwanted fat beneath the skin. The laser also stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

FACETITE uses bipolar radiofrequency through a small incision to melt fat and heat the skin to stimulate collagen production and shrink the skin. Precision TX uses a CO2 laser to accomplish the same thing. I used Smartlipo for years with good results but there are some patients that I just didn't feel I was getting enough skin tightening. I am seeing that with Facetite
