The face is one of the most prominent parts of the body and, unfortunately, one of the most prone to age-related change. And aging itself is obviously unavoidable. But what if there was a nonsurgical, minimally invasive treatment that reversed the signs of facial aging: signs like skin laxity and sagging or baggy tissue. That’s what FaceTite is: a groundbreaking device and procedure that helps to define the jawline, reduce the appearance of fine lines and facial wrinkles, and roll back the accumulated effects of aging and environmental exposure. (Interested in seeing these benefits in other parts of your body? BodyTite can get you there). At ARC Plastic Surgery in Miami, we provide personally tailored FaceTite treatments to help you reclaim your facial youth.
minimally invasive cosmetic procedure
FaceTite is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radio-frequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to take as much as several years off of the face. Nonsurgical, leaving no scars, and requiring no downtime, consider FaceTite an ideal combo of liposuction and radiofrequency energy treatment that physically removes fatty tissue, while tightening and toning the skin itself.
FaceTite’s special cannula safely delivers a stream of RF energy into the subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin. This RF energy converts into thermal (heat) energy, spurring the body into the production of two of the most important components of youthful, healthy skin: Collagen and elastin. These components diminish with age, resulting in skin laxity and a lackluster complexion. FaceTite helps to restore that youth.
What our clients have to say…
produce a natural, youthful appearance
To begin, local anesthesia is used to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. A small incision is then made to deliver a solution beneath the skin, and the two probes of FaceTite are used in the treatment area to safely deliver the radiofrequency energy that will do the work of removing fat and tightening the skin.
During FaceTite Miami aestheticians at our MedSpa adjust and control the temperature and location of the device to produce a natural, youthful appearance. A similarly small incision is used in each separate treatment target area, and the motions are repeated until all of your concerns have been addressed. Throughout the treatment session, radiofrequency energy is breaking down fatty tissue while concurrently activating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, effectively contouring the face while leaving the skin smoother and more taut.
address your own unique concerns
Our Miami FaceTite treatment can be tailored to address your own unique concerns. In a personal consultation, our expert aestheticians will discuss your goals for the procedure and recommend the best treatment plan, whether this includes addressing skin laxity in particular areas, or removing excess fatty deposits.
As FaceTite is a minimally-invasive, non surgical procedure, most patients make great candidates for it. If you have unwanted or bothersome facial skin laxity, or fine lines, wrinkles, and folds, or early jowling, you would likely benefit from FaceTite. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and discover how FaceTite can help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
ideal treatment for busy patients
Most of our Miami FaceTite patients return to their regular social and professional activities within 24 to 48 hours of treatment, making FaceTite an ideal treatment for busy patients who need some of the benefits of a facelift without the downtime. If you’re currently working from home, the procedure is particularly ideal at this time. Aside from recovery time itself, patients should expect the following mild effects postprocedure:
Most patients see results from FaceTite that last two to five years, with the collagen remodeling response continuing to improve the treated area for up to twelve months after the procedure. Because FaceTite does not stop the aging process, longevity depends on your skin quality, age, and sun exposure habits. A single treatment is typically sufficient for most patients.
Both tighten skin, but they work differently. FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin through a small cannula, which allows it to address both skin laxity and a modest amount of fat. Ultherapy is entirely non-invasive and uses ultrasound energy applied to the surface. FaceTite generally produces a more noticeable tightening effect in a single session, with a short recovery period that Ultherapy does not require.
For the right candidate, it can delay one — but it is not a substitute. FaceTite works best for mild to moderate skin laxity in patients who are not yet ready for surgery. If you have significant jowling, loose neck skin, or advanced laxity, a facelift or mini facelift will produce a result that FaceTite cannot match. Dr. White will tell you plainly which category you fall into.
Yes, it is one of the more common applications. FaceTite can tighten skin and reduce fat beneath the chin and along the jawline in one treatment, which makes it well suited to submental fullness with mild laxity. For patients whose concern is primarily fat with good skin quality, Kybella or neck liposuction may be alternatives worth discussing — our double chin removal page covers the full range of options.
FaceTite is performed under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Most patients experience swelling and some bruising for about a week, with a compression garment worn for the first few days. Many people return to work within three to five days. This is a real recovery period, though a short one — which is the trade-off for results that are more significant than fully non-invasive treatments.
