What is FaceTite?

FaceTite is a procedure that aims to rejuvenate the face and neck by treating sagging skin and loss of definition in the facial contour. It uses minimally invasive radiofrequency technology, presenting itself as an alternative for those looking for results without resorting to a traditional facelift.

How does FaceTite work?

FaceTite uses a thin cannula that is inserted under the skin through small, strategically placed incisions. This cannula emits radiofrequency energy in a precise and controlled manner, acting on two fronts:

  • Skin RetractionThe heat generated by radiofrequency stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
  • Tissue remodellingRadiofrequency energy can also help to remodel the underlying tissues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between FaceTite and a facelift?

FaceTite is less invasive, with smaller scars and generally faster recovery. The traditional facelift removes excess skin and repositions the muscles, and is more suitable for cases of more pronounced sagging.

Will I have visible scars?

The incisions are very small and strategically placed in discreet areas, such as behind the ears or under the chin.

How long does the procedure last?

The duration can vary depending on the extent of the treatment, but generally lasts between 1 and 2 hours.

Is it painful?

The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, minimising discomfort. Post-operatively, there may be some discomfort, which is managed with medication.

How long does recovery take?

Most patients resume social activities in about a week. Swelling and bruising are common, but gradually subside.

When can I wear make-up again?

You can usually go back to wearing light make-up after a few days, under medical supervision.
