Achieve a more youthful, defined appearance with FaceTite at SpaSurgica. This minimally invasive treatment reduces sagging skin, tightens facial contours, and enhances definition by using radiofrequency energy. Ideal for treating loose skin on your neck, jawline, and face, FaceTite provides impressive results with minimal downtime.
Overview
FaceTite is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to contour and tighten the skin on your face, neck, and jawline. By delivering precise heat energy beneath the skin, FaceTite melts fat and stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. This advanced treatment offers results similar to a facelift but without the need for extensive surgery or long recovery times. FaceTite is ideal for addressing sagging skin, jowls, and other signs of aging, providing natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Indications for FaceTite:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or jawline
- Early signs of jowls or sagging skin
- Desire for a more defined jawline and contour
- Loose skin around the cheeks or lower face
- Minimal to moderate fat deposits under the chin or neck
Procedure Details
During your FaceTite procedure, Dr. Elmaraghy will first administer local anesthesia to the treatment area. Mild sedation can also be used for added comfort. After numbing, tiny incisions (approximately 1-2 mm) are made in strategic locations, such as under the chin or behind the ears. A specialized handpiece, equipped with an internal probe, is then inserted beneath the skin through these incisions. This probe emits radiofrequency (RF) energy, targeting the underlying fat while heating the dermis to stimulate collagen contraction and production.
As the RF energy melts the fat, a suction mechanism removes it, resulting in a reduction of unwanted fat deposits. Simultaneously, the RF energy tightens the skin by coagulating tissue and promoting new collagen formation. The procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on the extent of the areas treated, with minimal blood loss due to the coagulative effects of the RF energy. You can expect some swelling and mild bruising afterward, but downtime is significantly shorter than traditional facelifts.
Recovery & Results
After your FaceTite procedure, you can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness for the first few days. Dr. Elmaraghy may recommend wearing a compression garment for optimal healing. Most patients can return to light activities within 2-3 days, though full recovery may take 1-2 weeks.
Initial results, such as tighter skin and reduced fat, are visible immediately, with improvements continuing over the next 3-6 months. Your final results will be long-lasting, offering a more defined, youthful appearance without extensive surgery.
FaceTite FAQs
Is FaceTite Painful?
FaceTite is generally well-tolerated since Dr. Elmaraghy uses local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. You may experience mild discomfort during the procedure and post-treatment tenderness, but this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How Long Do the Results of FaceTite Last?
FaceTite results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle. While the aging process continues, the skin-tightening effects can last for several years. Most patients enjoy visible improvements for 3-5 years before considering additional treatments.
How Soon Will I See the Results?
You’ll notice some improvements in skin tightness and contour right after your procedure, but the full results develop gradually over 3-6 months as collagen production increases.
