FaceTite
When non-surgical options like injectables, fillers, and laser treatments no longer provide the desired results, FaceTite offers a minimally invasive solution to achieve a more youthful and contoured appearance.
As people seek to regain a more youthful appearance, FaceTite has emerged as a popular choice due to its ability to effectively tighten and contour the skin with minimal invasiveness. By addressing common aging concerns such as sagging jowls and loose skin around the neck, FaceTite offers a convenient and effective solution for achieving a refreshed, youthful look.
What is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to tighten the skin and reduce fat in the face and neck. It is a popular option for those looking to achieve a more youthful and contoured appearance without undergoing traditional facelift surgery. FaceTite can address issues such as sagging skin, jowls, and excess fat, providing results that are both noticeable and natural-looking.
If you are in good health, have realistic expectations and have lax skin you want to address, a facelift could be a good option for you! Some signs that you could benefit from a facelift include:
Individuals experiencing mild to moderate sagging or loosening of the skin on the face and neck
Desire for minimally invasive procedure
Those who are not ready for, or do not require, a full surgical facelift but still want to address aging concerns
Patients should have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure, understanding that while it provides significant improvement, it does not offer the same results as a traditional facelift.
Benefits of FaceTite:
Minimally Invasive: Requires only small incisions, resulting in less scarring and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Tightens Skin: Stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer and tighter skin.
Reduces Fat: Effectively melts and removes unwanted fat, enhancing facial contours.
Natural Results: Provides a more youthful appearance without the “overdone” look.
Quick Recovery: Less downtime and faster healing compared to surgical facelifts.
Dual Effect: Combines skin tightening and fat reduction in one procedure.
The FaceTite Procedure:
Consultation: Discuss your goals, medical history, and expectations with Dr. Stubbs. Determine if FaceTite is the right procedure for you.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or light sedation is typically used to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Small Incisions: Tiny incisions are made in the treatment area, often around the ears, jawline, and neck.
Radiofrequency Energy: A small probe is inserted through the incisions, delivering radiofrequency energy to heat the underlying tissues. This process melts fat and stimulates collagen production.
Fat Removal: The melted fat is gently suctioned out, and the skin is tightened as the probe moves through the treatment area.
Closure: Incisions are small enough that they often do not require stitches and heal with minimal scarring.
Recovery:
Initial Downtime: Plan for a few days to a week of downtime. Some swelling and bruising are normal.
Pain Management: Mild discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Compression Garment: Wearing a compression garment helps reduce swelling and supports the healing process.
Follow-up Appointments: Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor progress and ensure proper healing.
Full Recovery: Swelling and bruising will gradually subside, with final results visible after a few weeks to months as collagen production continues.
Post-Procedure Care Tips:
Rest: Take it easy for a few days and avoid strenuous activities.
Hydration and Nutrition: Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support healing.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from sun exposure to prevent pigmentation changes.
Cold Compresses: Apply cold compresses to minimize swelling and bruising.
Gentle Cleansing: Keep the treatment area clean and follow Dr. Stubbs instructions for wound care.
