FaceTite is generally a great choice to deal with smaller, more delicate areas, such as the lines that form around your mouth and below your eyes, in addition to the loose skin on your chin and neck. You are an ideal candidate for this treatment if you are experiencing classic signs of aging and desire an improvement in collagen production for tighter skin. In order to undergo this treatment, you shouldn’t be pregnant or have had facial injections performed over the last 6 – 8 months. Board-certified plastic surgeon and FaceTite expert Dr. Hanz can help you decide if this is a good option for you today!

FaceTite is a minimally invasive process that involves placing a very small cannula underneath your skin while using local anesthesia. Once the cannula is placed, the temperature can be monitored and controlled through external and internal thermometers to make certain the heat remains at a comfortable temperature.

The radiofrequency power the FaceTite device releases will be effective in disrupting fat cells, causing the skin to contract and sparking an increase in collagen production. Sessions normally last around 45 minutes per treated area, resulting in similar results to that of a facelift without the downtime and cost of surgery.

After your FaceTite treatment, you will be able to return to your regular routine the following day but keep in mind, it could take around three days for any discoloration or swelling to subside. Strenuous activities and exercises should be avoided for approximately 1 – 2 weeks after the procedure.

Patients typically see some visible results immediately after their FaceTite therapy; however, because the process involves stimulating the collagen process, you may see more gradual improvements for about 3 – 8 weeks after your procedure. Your results will likely be long-lasting should you maintain a healthy weight through proper diet and exercise.

How much your FaceTite treatment will cost depends on the condition of your skin and your cosmetic goals. Dr. Hanz will assess your skin and talk to you about what you want to achieve during your consultation.

After that, he’ll have a better estimate of the costs. Dr. Hanz accepts many forms of payment and offers low-interest financing for most procedures.

Surgical facelifts are the most effective treatment option for improving the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin. But if the cost and recovery time of a surgical procedure isn’t for you, FaceTite may be the best option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX and fillers like Juvederm can be paired with a FaceTite treatment to achieve even more effective results. In most cases, the FaceTite treatment will be done first and then a BOTOX or filler treatment the following day or one week after your radiofrequency (RF) session.

It is important to talk to Dr. Hanz about your goals, needs, and concerns during your consultation so the proper treatment plan for you can be created.

Many patients will see very noticeable results after just their first treatment, but for some people, multiple treatments will be necessary to achieve their goals. During your consultation, Dr. Hanz will be able to give you a better idea of the number of treatments you’ll need to get the results you want.

You’ll see your results continually improve over the months after your treatment. The results are long-lasting since your skin is producing new collagen and elastin, but maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine is necessary to prevent weight gain. Avoiding or limiting toxins such as tobacco and alcohol will also help maintain your results.
