The longevity of your FaceTite results can vary by individual, often lasting for many years. However, it’s important to recognize that skin continues to age due to factors like sun exposure, smoking, genetics, and natural aging processes. To help maintain your results over time, a consistent skincare routine and treatments like radiofrequency microneedling with Morpheus8 can be beneficial.

What Is FaceTite?
FaceTite offers a significant reduction in skin laxity on the face and neck, providing results comparable to a surgical facelift without the need for invasive surgery. By using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, FaceTite targets and reduces fat while simultaneously tightening the skin. This minimally invasive treatment is often combined with neck liposuction and microneedling for enhanced results, making it an effective option for addressing double chin, jowls, and deep lines.
With just one treatment, many patients experience noticeable improvements in facial contour and skin tightening, with the added benefits of no scarring and much shorter recovery time compared to traditional facelift surgery. FaceTite offers a solution for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance without undergoing major surgery, making it a popular choice for patients seeking facial and neck sculpting.
FaceTite Procedure
Using the same radiofrequency energy delivery system as BodyTite, FaceTite focuses on tightening the skin in areas like the lower face, jowls, and neck. While BodyTite is primarily designed for fat removal and skin tightening in the abdomen and thighs, FaceTite is geared toward skin tightening of the face and neck, although it can also eliminate small pockets of fat, such as under the chin or around laugh lines, when necessary.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. A tumescent solution containing Lidocaine and saline is administered to numb the area and reduce bruising by constricting blood vessels. The entry points used for the procedure are tiny pinpricks measuring about 2mm, which typically require only a bandage and do not leave visible scars.
With minimal recovery time and no significant scarring, FaceTite is an appealing option for individuals looking for a less invasive way to achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
We offer consultations for FaceTite in our Petoskey office and the procedure itself is performed in Traverse City at our AAAASF accredited surgical facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
FaceTite is a well-tolerated outpatient procedure conducted under local anesthesia with mild sedation. After the procedure, it’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, and occasional pinpoint areas of crusting. Mild discomfort from inflammation generally responds well to non-narcotic pain medications. Patients must wear a neck compression garment continuously for three days, followed by nightly use for a week. Most individuals can resume work within 2-3 days but should avoid cardio or strenuous exercise for about two weeks post-treatment.
The procedure involves creating tiny incisions measuring 1-2 mm for the insertion of the FaceTite handpiece and liposuction cannulas. These scars are minimal and often hidden within natural creases and shadows, making them likely go unnoticed unless specifically pointed out.
As with any procedure that involves minor skin incisions, FaceTite carries inherent risks. Short-term risks may include bleeding, bruising, and temporary numbness.
FaceTite is a versatile treatment that effectively addresses loose skin and excess fat in various facial areas, including the neck, jowls, and submental region (under the chin).
FaceTite utilizes RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) technology, which overcomes some limitations of traditional liposuction or surgical body lifts. This treatment is considered safe and effective, with support from over 20 peer-reviewed publications.
