What Is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a patented technology created to safely target sagging skin, wrinkles, and excess fat. FaceTite can correct sagging jowls, a double chin, a turkey neck, lines and wrinkles around the eyes, and lines around the mouth.
This treatment focuses on the lower half of the face and involves making a tiny incision to insert a small device called a cannula.
FaceTite’s unique metal wand features two projections. One is a cannula inserted into the skin, where it melts fat cells using RF energy and then suctions the melted fat. The other projection features an electrode placed on the skin.
The RF energy also stimulates the fibroblasts within the skin to produce more collagen. An increase in collagen production will result in smoother and tighter skin.
Am I a Good Candidate for FaceTite?
The best candidates for FaceTite are healthy individuals who want to correct mild to moderate loose skin and excess fat. Since FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure, it is recommended for people who want to avoid surgery.
The full benefits of FaceTite treatment can be experienced by non-smokers. Women who are not pregnant and have a BMI of 30 or below are ideal candidates.
Your FaceTite Consultation
A FaceTite consultation involves a detailed conversation about your aesthetic goals. Dr. Hernandez will evaluate the desired area for treatment and help you visualize the possible outcomes of the treatment.
Provide your complete medical history, including past treatments and current prescriptions, to guide Dr. Hernandez in planning a safe and comfortable FaceTite treatment. Inform the doctor regarding any allergies that you may have.
Your FaceTite Session
Your FaceTite session will begin with administering local anesthesia to the selected area for treatment. Once the anesthesia takes effect, a small incision will be created to insert the FaceTite cannula.
The wand’s outer projection will be placed on the skin’s surface. Radiofrequency energy will melt fat, which will then be removed using the cannula. While this is happening, the RF energy will also trigger collagen production in the skin.
The FaceTite Recovery Process
The downtime of a FaceTite treatment is usually only one to two days. Expect minimal redness and swelling in the treated area for the first two days. Uneven skin complexion is also normal until the second or third week.
After only a few days, smoother skin can be seen. Results will continue to improve in the coming months as new collagen continues to form. The results of your FaceTite treatment can last up to five years.
