3 months!
SmollykmcOctober 8, 2018
So there is definitely a difference. Although not as great as I'd hoped. Results can take up to a year so there's that.
At my follow up my Dr. Mentioned that many include fractora with this procedure and then results are faster and more dramatic. Guess who makes it? Inmode-same manufacturer of the facetite machine. I checked into it and results are mixed so I'm not comfortable with the risk. I do look better I think, but I don't know if I look 6k better and don't know if I'd do it again. Maybe would've been better off waiting and spending the money on a facelift in 10 years.

Still waiting for real change
SmollykmcAugust 9, 2018
It's been a month and I am sadly not seeing much difference. I was hoping to real change since most do at this point. I am not in the immediate results club like some. Some reviews (and most doctors) say 6 weeks to 6 months is real timeframe so I will practice patience. I'm still tender washing my face and it still tingles. One side of my face is more swollen/lumpy than the other--jowl and under chin. I have seen other reviews regarding this also and it seems to resolve so I'm not worried. I will say the area under my chin feels empty-ish so I have to give it time for the skin to retract.

There is some improvement to your chin although I would’ve expected better results considering how they advertise Facetite. I received no benefits after my face tight to the neck. Please check out my review under hey Renee.

Hi, I have been scrolling facetite posts for months now so thank you for sharing your journey. I am 48 and had facetite done back in April. Everyone in my family said not to do it. Looking back now I know that I shouldn't have. My results are not good at all. They did lipo as well which was not even part of the original plan I only found out afterwards that they did. I have been told over and over to wait 6 full months before I judge the results, however, I have one month left to go and I am sick about it. It is lumpy and the wrinkles are so pronounced, especially at the jowl line. It was $3,000 and now I have no idea how it can be corrected at all. I would say as long as yours does not looked deformed that give it the 6 months. I would never have done this had I known the end result. My profile isn't horrible, but upon the slightest "look down" my chin looks like a shar pei puppy. Please keep us posted, I would love to follow your results.

Do you have photos & name of doc.? Doesn't seem like Facetite has good reviews with most people. :((

My doctor is Forrest Roth in Houston, Texas. He's fantastic, but think the procedure is the "it" procedure to push since it " should" work great. The procedure is really new so I don't fault my doctor, i fault the procedure. I had consults with various docs that all wanted to do this procedure and all raved about it. It's better in theory I guess.

I think there's some improvement comparing the photos- also it sounds like a month is too early. I also wanted to say that your skin looks really nice and youthful!

There’s an improvement definitely... Maybe the full effect will be seen after 6 months..

Slow and steady progress
SmollykmcJuly 23, 2018
So I was asked to update and was going to wait until tomorrow but , no time like the present I guess. Tomorrow will mark 2 weeks. I should note that I am 49 years old. I see some progress each day. Mainly bruising and swelling subsiding. My doctor did warn me that most people swell more on one side that the other and that DID happen in my case as well. My doctor was also aggressive with my treatment so the results will be fantastic but the downside is more bruising initially--which I am fine with as long as I get the results that I want I can deal with that. No pain no gain right? The compression garment is awful. It's lots of Velcro and catches my hair, and the Velcro is sort of bulky to lie on and is uncomfortable. But again, not forever but something you should expect. I'm beginning to get tingling in my face. Parts are still numb and parts tingle where the facial nerves that were"stunned" during the procedure are waking back up. It feels just like a body part that has fallen asleep and is waking up. It's an oddly reassuring feeling that I am still healing and getting better.
