What is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure utilizing radiofrequency energy to sculpt and tone the face and neck. Approved by the FDA in 2016, this innovative treatment addresses skin laxity that causes sagging and loose facial appearance.
How FaceTite Works
Performed in-office at Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery, the procedure uses local anesthesia and requires minimal downtime. The treatment involves:
- Small incisions in the treatment area
- Precise probe insertion to heat and contract muscles and tissue
- Controlled thermal energy application for natural skin tightening
Benefits of FaceTite
Patients can experience multiple advantages with this advanced treatment:
- Tissue remodeling and fat coagulation
- Safe and effective dual temperature technology
- Targeted treatment zones with concentrated energy
Recovery and Expectations
FaceTite offers a more convenient recovery compared to traditional surgical procedures. Patients can expect:
- Minimal downtime
- Swelling for up to 10 days post-procedure
- Potential compression garment recommendation for 2-6 days
- Gradual skin tightening over 3-6 months
Cost Considerations
The cost of FaceTite varies depending on the treatment area. Patients are encouraged to schedule a consultation to receive a personalized assessment. Financing options are available for those unable to pay the full upfront cost.
Treatment Versatility
FaceTite can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with complementary treatments such as liposuction or other facial rejuvenation techniques.
