Facetite™ in Lake Geneva
FaceTite™ is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and reduce fat on the face and neck. It can provide similar results to a surgical facelift without the need for surgery.
What Is FaceTite ™?
FaceTite™ is a contouring procedure that also provides significant skin contraction. The FaceTite™ system uses a cannula with an internal electrode that is inserted through a tiny incision. Attached to the cannula, but resting atop the skin, is a metal wand that features an external electrode. This is the same patented radio-frequency liposuction technology that debuted with BodyTite™. The radio-frequency energy passes from the internal electrode to the external electrode, heating the fat and surrounding tissues without damaging those tissues. The liquefied fat is then suctioned away through the cannula. The RF energy that has heated the dermis layer of the skin causes the skin to contract and tighten, firming the area.
How it works
FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to deliver heat to the skin, which melts fat cells and tightens the skin. It also stimulates collagen and elastin production. Areas treated FaceTite can be used to treat the jowls, jawline, submental fat (double chin), and loose neck skin. It can also address concerns like lowered eyebrows, drooping eyelids, and nasolabial folds.
Safety
FaceTite™ is generally considered safe, but bruising and discomfort are common in the first couple of days after the procedure. Major side effects are rare, but may include infections, bleeding, and scarring.
Candidates
Good candidates for FaceTite include people who are healthy, have no significant medical conditions, and aren't pregnant or nursing. They should also have modest to moderate skin laxity and not be prepared to undergo surgery.
Procedure time
The entire procedure takes about an hour, and patients can go home immediately after. This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional.
