FaceTite

Could FaceTite Be Right For You?

A normal part of the human body's standard aging process involves the slowing of elastin and collagen production in your epidermis. The result is much more visible wrinkles, lines, and creases, in addition to loose skin around the chin, neck, and jowls. To fight these signs of aging, Couture Dermatology & Plastic Surgery provides FaceTite. This premier nonsurgical procedure, advocated by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marvin Spann and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Candace Spann, uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt and dislodge fat cells, causing your skin to firm and allowing collagen to be created at a much quicker rate. You can receive a smoother, more youthful facial appearance which presents with fewer wrinkles without the invasiveness, large scars, and recovery period of surgical lifting operations. We invite you to schedule an appointment in our office in Las Vegas, NV to find out more about FaceTite and its amazing advantages.

What You Should Know About FaceTite

What Is FaceTite?

FaceTite is a minimally invasive, non-surgical facial contouring treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and lift the skin. It’s designed to address sagging skin, particularly in areas such as the lower face, neck, jowls, and jawline, by stimulating collagen production and reducing excess fat. FaceTite delivers targeted RF energy to the skin and underlying tissues, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

FaceTite Benefits:

Non-invasive treatment that requires no cuts or stitches.
Tightens and lifts the skin, particularly around the jawline, cheeks, and neck.
Reduces the appearance of jowls and sagging skin.
Stimulates collagen production for natural, long-term results.
Minimal downtime with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days.
Safe and effective for patients who are not ready for a facelift but want noticeable improvements.

What to Expect?

FaceTite is performed in our office as an outpatient procedure in about two hours. Depending on what area(s) you are having treated, this time may vary and you will be given a more exact time estimate during your consultation. Once the treatment area(s) has been numbed with a local anesthetic, a tiny cannula will be slipped underneath your skin. The FaceTite device utilizes radiofrequency power to disrupt fat cells and cause the skin to contract while creating an increase in natural collagen production.

What Does Recovery Look Like?

After a FaceTite procedure, you will be asked to return home to rest for the remainder of the day wearing a sculpting (compression) garment. You will be instructed to wear your sculpting garment 12 - 24 hours a day for up to 10 days. You should be able to return to your daily routine by the next day. It could take around 3 - 4 days for any redness or swelling to subside. Strenuous activities and exercises should still be avoided for approximately 1 – 2 weeks following the procedure. Remember, you will see results immediately, and your skin and contours will continue to tighten and reshape over the next few months. The sculpting garment helps this process.

What Are the Possible Side Effects?

FaceTite is considered a safe procedure with a low risk of complications. However, as with any treatment, there are some potential side effects, including:

Swelling and bruising: This is common and usually resolves within 1–2 weeks.
Redness: Mild redness around the treated area may occur but typically fades within a few hours to a few days.
Mild discomfort: Some patients experience mild soreness or a feeling of tightness in the treated area, which is usually temporary.
Numbness or tingling: This can occur in the treated area, though it typically resolves within a few days or weeks.
Burns (rare): Though rare, there is a small risk of burns if the device is not used properly. This is minimized by using the treatment with a trained and experienced practitioner.

PLAN YOUR PROCEDURE

Recovery Time:
Most patients experience minimal downtime after FaceTite. Swelling, bruising, and redness may occur in the treated areas, but these usually subside within 1-2 weeks. You can expect to resume normal activities within a few days, though it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may put excess strain on the face for about 2 weeks. Final results will gradually appear as the skin continues to tighten over the next few months.

Average Procedure Time:
The FaceTite procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the areas being treated. Since it’s minimally invasive, recovery time is generally shorter compared to traditional surgical facelifts. A local anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

Post-op Follow-up:
Post-procedure follow-up is typically scheduled 1-2 weeks after your FaceTite treatment to assess your progress and ensure proper healing. Additional follow-up appointments may be scheduled to track the long-term results of the procedure and discuss any concerns. Our team at Couture will guide you through each stage of your recovery and ensure the best possible outcome.

It is perfect for patients who are not ready for a facelift or those looking for an improvement in facial contour without significant downtime.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does FaceTite take to work?

While some improvement can be seen immediately, full results from FaceTite develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as collagen production increases and the skin continues to tighten.

How long do the results last?

FaceTite provides long-lasting results, but the aging process continues. The results can last for several years, particularly if you maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, factors such as age, genetics, and lifestyle can affect the longevity of results.

Is FaceTite painful?

Most patients find FaceTite to be a relatively comfortable procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area, and mild discomfort or tightness may be felt during and after the procedure. Any discomfort is typically temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

How many treatments are required?

Most people achieve optimal results with a single treatment. However, depending on the extent of the sagging skin and your aesthetic goals, your provider may recommend additional treatments to enhance the results.

Can FaceTite be combined with other procedures?

Yes, FaceTite can be combined with other facial treatments such as fillers, Botox, or laser skin resurfacing to provide more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your provider will discuss the best combination of treatments based on your goals.

Is FaceTite safe?

Yes, FaceTite is a safe, FDA-approved procedure when performed by a trained professional. The risk of side effects is minimal, and the procedure has been shown to produce significant improvements in skin tightening and contouring.
