How does the Facetite work?
The Facetite is a radiofrequency device which lifts sagging facial tissues, melts subcutaneous fat, and tightens tired skin. It is the next best alternative to face lift surgery. Using a slender probe, the Facetite delivers a targeted radiofrequency energy to tighten the underlying tissues, whilst contracting the overlying skin. Using dual temperature control technology, the Facetite monitors the external and internal temperatures, ensuring optimal delivery of energy with minimal risk of excessive tissue damage. The final result can often be comparable to a facelift with minimal downtime, no stitches, scalpels or expensive surgery.
The treatment is performed in office, under local anaesthesia. There are no incisions, just small needle sized insertion points that heal without stitches.
The procedure takes an hour and is very well tolerated by most patients.
Improvements can be seen immediately and continues to improve over the next 3-6 months.
Is Facetite worth it?
Since its inception in 2011 in the United States reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Most patients see a 35-40% lift in the tightness of their skin immediately after treatment. This lasts 5-7 years and takes years off your appearance. Clinical studies suggest results are equivalent to those of a mini face lift.
How effective is the Facetite?
Most patients see at least a 40% improvement in skin tightness around the area treated.
Peer reviewed research papers have suggested the results are equal to those of a surgical mini-facelift.
Combining the Facetite with other procedures such as morpheus radiofrequency skin needling, cosmetic injectables and laser skin resurfacing can create a truly dramatic transformation.
Am I a candidate for Facetite?
In general, the best candidates for Facetite have mild to moderate facial drooping or skin laxity.
These patients are wanting to avoid invasive facial surgery.
