What is FaceTite?
Anti-aging treatments have come a long way over the last two decades. More and more understanding of how and why we age has helped to develop amazingly effective treatments such as FaceTite. If you are interested in a minimally invasive way to achieve results like a facelift, FaceTite just might be the wonder treatment you have been looking for!
So, what is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a nonsurgical facelift alternative that uses radiofrequency 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 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. 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.
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. With a single FaceTite treatment, many people find their skin is smoother, sleeker, and tighter.

This simple and non-invasive option is perfect for those looking to reduce fat without saggy skin left behind by traditional fat reduction procedures. Not only that, but due to its non-invasive style, patients experience little downtime and fewer side effects when compared to a traditional facelift.
How does FaceTite Work?
FaceTite is actually a handheld device that transmits safe, FDA-approved radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency waves also tighten loose skin and stimulate collagen formation so that the results continue to improve over the months following the procedure.
The FaceTite procedure can instantly reduce facial fat, reduce the appearance of jowls, and tighten skin by 40%, making you look and feel younger. By stimulating the body’s own production of collagen at the site of treatment, FaceTite produces results that last and keep on giving.
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.
What are the benefits of FaceTite?
Clearly FaceTite gives you the most natural facelift available that tightens the skin and smoothes the appearance. FaceTite also has a variety of 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 is FaceTite Performed?
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 radiofrequency 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.
Is FaceTite Better than 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.
