What is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a cosmetic procedure designed for refining the contours of the face, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin in localized areas.
How is FaceTite intended to be used?
FaceTite is intended to be used on small delicate areas of the face that are usually not suitable for other non-invasive or surgical procedures. FaceTite is intended to reduce the amount of fat underneath the skin and contract the skin, which gives a tighter and less saggier look to the skin.
How does FaceTite work?
FaceTite uses two electrodes, one that is inserted into the skin, and one that stays outside, to liquefy fat. The inner electrode shoots a current into the tissue, generating heat. This heat melts fat, which can then be removed forcibly or just eliminated naturally by the body. The external electrode closes the loop and also monitors body temperature, ensuring the current is safe. Additionally FaceTite stimulates collagen production in the treated & surrounding tissue. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, and it provides structural support to connective tissues (which includes our skin). The increase in collagen production leads to skin tightening and rejuvenation.
What are the typical treatment areas?
FaceTite is primarily applied to small and sensitive regions that may not be suitable for other non-surgical or surgical methods. These areas often encompass the neck, chin, jowls, as well as various facial regions.
How is FaceTite different from other skin revitalization devices?
FaceTite allows for fat removal and skin tightening simultaneously. This removes the need for having separate treatments for skin tightening and fat removal. Additionally, FaceTite is precise–due to its small size– which allows the procedure to be done in small or delicate areas while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
How many treatments will I need?
FaceTite is a one-time treatment for each area of the face that is addressed. Skin tightening and improvements in skin quality are usually seen over several months, since FaceTite stimulates collagen production. These results can be long-lasting, and that’s why FaceTite is usually done one time per area of the body. However, maintenance may be required depending on your results.
How long is the typical treatment?
FaceTite treatment typically takes less than an hour, but the length of the treatment can vary depending on the locations of the areas being treated, and the number of areas being treated.
Is the recovery time long?
The recovery time for FaceTite is usually shorter than surgical procedures, since there’s less trauma to the tissues. The downtime is a few days at most.
Is FaceTite considered surgery?
No. FaceTite is regarded as a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure, which means it utilizes smaller incisions or entry points in contrast to conventional surgical techniques.
What are the potential side effects?
Following the procedure, expected side effects may include swelling, bruising, and mild redness. Most side effects resolve themselves within seven days post-treatment.
Is the treatment painful?
For FaceTite, you’ll receive appropriate local anesthesia before the procedure to make you more comfortable.
Does FaceTite use laser, radiofrequency, or ultrasound energy?
FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL). It combines liposuction, which is the removal of fat, with radiofrequency energy. This allows the treatment to simultaneously achieve tightening of the skin along with the removal of fat.
Can I receive FaceTite if I have a darker skin tone?
Yes, FaceTite works regardless of skin tone. There’s no difference in treatment or results when FaceTite is used on darker skin tones.
