Advanced Technology for Facial Rejuvenation

Athēnix stays at the forefront of aesthetic innovation to offer our patients the most effective, minimally invasive treatments available. Our board-certified plastic surgeons and experienced aesthetic teams use FaceTite to help patients in Brentwood achieve significant facial tightening without the incisions, scarring, or extended recovery associated with traditional facelift surgery. With seven AAAHC-certified centers and a commitment to cutting-edge technology, we deliver safe, effective facial contouring that fits your lifestyle.

What Is FaceTite?

FaceTite is a minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) procedure that tightens skin and reduces fat in the face and neck. Developed by InMode, FaceTite uses bipolar radiofrequency energy delivered through a small cannula inserted beneath the skin to heat the dermal layers and underlying tissues. This controlled heating causes immediate tissue contraction and stimulates long-term collagen production, according to research published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal.

The science behind FaceTite involves delivering precise thermal energy to the deep dermis and subdermal tissue while simultaneously monitoring skin temperature to prevent burns. The radiofrequency energy heats tissues to approximately 65-70°C (149-158°F), causing collagen fibers to contract immediately while triggering neocollagenesis over the following months.

What to Expect Before, During, and After FaceTite

Consultation and Cost

Your FaceTite begins with a consultation at our Brentwood location. Your provider will examine your facial skin, discuss areas of concern, and explain how FaceTite works and what results you can expect.

FaceTite typically costs between $3,000 and $6,000, depending on the treatment areas and extent of correction needed.

Procedure Steps

On treatment day, you'll arrive at our facility, where we'll prepare the treatment areas by marking your skin and administering local anesthesia.

The FaceTite procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the areas treated. Your provider makes tiny incisions, usually no more than 2-3 millimeters long, in discreet locations. Through these incisions, they insert the FaceTite cannula beneath the skin.

The device delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to heat the tissue while an external probe monitors skin temperature for safety. You may feel warmth and pressure but should not experience pain. Once the treatment is complete, the small incisions are closed with a single suture or surgical glue, and you'll be fitted with a compression garment.

Recovery and Results Timeline

Most patients go home shortly after treatment with minimal discomfort managed by over-the-counter pain medication. You'll wear a compression garment for about one week to minimize swelling and support the treated tissues. Expect moderate swelling and bruising that peaks within two to three days and subsides over the following one to two weeks.

You'll notice some immediate skin tightening, though results continue to improve over three to six months as new collagen forms and tissues remodel.

Results typically last three to five years, though individual factors like genetics, skincare, and lifestyle influence longevity. Your Athēnix provider will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure optimal outcomes.

FaceTite Treatment Areas

FaceTite can address multiple facial and neck concerns:

Lower Face and Jawline: Reduces jowls and redefines the jawline for improved contour.
Submental Area: Tightens skin beneath the chin while reducing fat.
Neck: Addresses mild to moderate neck laxity and banding.
Nasolabial Folds: Improves the appearance of smile lines.
Cheeks: Lifts and tightens sagging cheek tissue.

Alternative and Complementary Treatments

Many patients combine FaceTite with other procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation:

Morpheus8: Combines microneedling with radiofrequency for skin resurfacing and tightening.
Kybella: Injectable treatment that destroys fat cells beneath the chin.
Dermal Fillers: Restores volume to areas that have lost fullness due to aging.
Botox: Smooths dynamic wrinkles and complements FaceTite's skin-tightening effects.
Neck Lift or Facelift: For more advanced aging that exceeds what FaceTite can address.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does FaceTite compare to a traditional facelift?

Is FaceTite painful?

What's the difference between FaceTite and other radiofrequency treatments?

How does FaceTite compare to a traditional facelift?

FaceTite is minimally invasive with shorter recovery time and less dramatic results than facelift surgery. It's ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity and provides approximately 40-50% of the improvement seen with surgical lifting. Facelift surgery offers more comprehensive correction for advanced aging and lasts longer, typically 10-15 years compared to FaceTite's 3-5 years.

Is FaceTite painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation, so you should feel minimal discomfort during treatment. Afterward, most patients describe mild soreness similar to a workout, easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

What's the difference between FaceTite and other radiofrequency treatments?

FaceTite is an internal treatment that delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin for more significant tightening than external-only devices. External radiofrequency treatments like Thermage work only on surface layers, while FaceTite heats the deep dermis and SMAS layer for more dramatic results.
