A facelift can sound a bit daunting and seem more extreme than you are really looking for. To be fair, they have gotten a bad rap over the years and have improved tremendously, however it still may not be the best choice for everyone. You may be wondering, does a non surgical facelift work? Or maybe how can I lift my face without a facelift? Non surgical alternatives do exist that yield amazing, natural looking results! One of our favorite options for a non surgical facelift is called FaceTite. The FaceTite procedure can instantly reduce facial fat, reduce the appearance of jowls, and tighten skin by 40%, making you look and feel younger. If you want to remove excess fat and get a mini facelift, there is no better procedure than FaceTite.
What is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a new, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure done in one hour in our office! Sometimes this is referred to as the ‘lunchtime facelift’ since the procedure is so quick with the ability to go back to work afterwards. FaceTite is a nonsurgical facelift alternative that uses radio frequency (RF) energy to target fat and loose skin in the face and neck. By simultaneously melting fat and tightening the skin, a FaceTite treatment can effectively counter common signs of aging to create a more youthful appearance in just one treatment.
This FDA-approved procedure uses radio-frequency energy to target unwanted fat, contour the face, and tighten the skin. In addition, FaceTite is the most advanced treatment available for minimally invasive body contouring. It is safe, gentle, and leaves no visible scars. Also, it involves minimal recovery time so you can get back to normal activities.
What exactly does FaceTite target and what is FaceTite good for?
FaceTite is an FDA-approved radiofrequency technique that Dr. Perich considers her favorite to tighten and lift sagging skin on the face and neck, previously only achievable by the surgical invasive facelift. This treatment is also fabulous for the neck area where double chin or sagging jowls can cause an aged appearance. At Perich Aesthetics, Dr. Perich has noticed a significant improvement in her patient’s appearance right after the procedure.
This simple and non-invasive option is perfect for those looking to reduce fat without saggy skin left behind by traditional fat reduction procedures. Common trouble areas that are treated with FaceTite include around the jawline and under the chin. Often overtime, the skin in this area can gain fat and become saggy or loose resulting in a less than sharp jawline. To gain that definition again, FaceTite is used to contour and define the area by reducing that fat in a targeted manner while tightening the skin.
The results can feel like you’ve kicked gravity to the curb with a new smooth, sleek profile. Many patients who have undergone a weight loss journey feel like they have finally found the solution the gym, working out, and a healthy diet couldn’t give them. If you have put in all the effort and hard work to get yourself in shape yet still look in the mirror to see areas of your face you just can’t target, FaceTite could be the solution for you!
How does FaceTite compare to a facelift?
For many candidates, FaceTite is a viable alternative to facelift surgery. A facelift is an invasive surgery involving lengthy incisions, cutting soft tissue, and repositioning the skin to restore a more youthful appearance, but FaceTite™ can achieve surgery-like results without such invasive measures and the subsequent recovery.
While a facelift may be necessary to achieve optimal results in some individuals, FaceTite provides far better results than any other non-surgical or minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment. FaceTite is a highly effective treatment for fat reduction and skin tightening in patients who prefer not to undergo surgery. We consider FaceTite to be the best non surgical face lift alternative for the majority of people we work with.
To achieve the optimal results for some people, we do find that combining treatments like FaceTite and Morpheus8 can really come as close to a total surgical face lift. A traditional face lift does have the ability to go deeper and more extensive than FaceTite would. Mid-face lift surgery can dramatically improve the appearance of cheeks, elevate sagging skin tissue, restore loss of shape and definition, and eliminate deep creases and wrinkles. Facelift surgery will reduce nasolabial folds, and tighten jowls while creating a lifted, more youthful appearance.
Surgical facelifts have the objective to remove, reshape, and reposition. A traditional surgical facelift will produce results that can be dramatic quickly once the full recovery has happened. There is downtime required for this recovery and there can be some minor scarring that can occur at the site of the incision. Clients may experience pain, swelling, bruising, and inflammation at the surgical site. However, these symptoms usually subside within a few days, and most people can go back to work and light activities 2 weeks after their procedure.
Non-surgical facelifts, like FaceTite, focus more on the remodeling and tightening without skin removal. Non-surgical facelifts cause minimal scarring and require little downtime. You’ll enjoy subtle, natural results that create a younger, more alert appearance. The results can take longer to see fully as oftentimes the stimulation of collagen has taken place which gives the body the ability to produce more collagen in the specific area is was not previously producing. Most clients can return to work and other activities right away, although it’s important to avoid disrupting the treated area in the weeks after surgery.
What are the benefits of FaceTite over a facelift?
FaceTite has several key benefits. As a minimally invasive treatment, it saves patients from having to experience the risks, discomforts, recovery, and scarring after full formal facelift surgery. As a device built with powerfully precise technology, FaceTite enables patients to achieve transformative results without having to undergo surgery. As a treatment designed to correct multiple age-related symptoms all at once, FaceTite saves patients from having to receive multiple different fat reductions and skin-tightening procedures. With just one treatment session conveniently administered in the office, patients can see immediate results that will only improve over the following months as the skin begins to produce more collagen.
How does FaceTite work?
FaceTite is a handheld device that transmits safe, FDA-approved radio frequency waves into the body. As these energy waves pass through the skin and soft tissues, they melt away excess fat in a process called Radiofrequency-Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL). The RF waves also tighten loose skin and stimulate collagen formation so that the results continue to improve over the months following the procedure.
Why is collagen important and how does collagen work? Collagen is a structural protein that makes up between 25-35% of the bodies protein as a whole. It is actually the most abundant and powerful protein in the body. Collagen is found in our skin, hair, nails, blood- it’s everywhere! As a key structural protein, collagen is the reason our skin has elasticity and our joints are healthy by binding tissue in the body. The word collagen actually comes from the Greek word “kólla” which means glue and collagen is often referred to the body’s glue or scaffolding.
As we age, our production of collagen can decrease. Our bodies break down collagen faster than we can produce it. Boosting the production of collagen our body is making naturally can have lasting effects on our appearance and can help to maintain the healthy joints and muscles we have. Therefore, with FaceTite boosting the production in that area, your results will continue for months afterwards, showing possibly the best results long after the treatment itself. This also means that you will have the most natural looking results that are not stiff or obvious.
FaceTite is administered in a single outpatient procedure at our office, with no general anesthesia or hospital visit required. The procedure takes only about 90 minutes to 2 hours and is performed with local anesthesia and sometimes also an oral sedative to help the individual feel relaxed during treatment. During the treatment, the surgeon carefully passes the FaceTite device over the face and neck to transmit the RF waves and provide RFAL and collagen formation stimulation. Patients can return home shortly after the procedure and will need only a few short days of recovery before they can return to normal daily activities.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for FaceTite?
FaceTite is designed for patients with mild to significant skin laxity interested in looking more youthful. If you suffer from saggy jowels, excess fat in the face and neck, and/or have noticed how gravity and time have pulled your face down, then FaceTite could be a great solution for you. Additionally, these patients are typically not candidates for more invasive surgeries such as a facelift or neck lift, or simply do not want the associated significant scars or downtime of more invasive surgical procedures. In my experience, the best results with FaceTite are found in healthy patients who are non-smokers and avoid risk factors such as excessive sun exposure.
