FaceTite™ is a device that helps to tighten tissue from the inside out. This device, with two small probes, is passed along the skin surface on the face or neck where it emits radiofrequency energy. This heats up the tissues under the skin surface and results in stimulating collagen production, “melting” fat cells, and skin tightening.

FaceTite™ can be done using local anesthesia in clinic. Alternatively, it can be done with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on your preference. You are able to go home the same day after the procedure.

After injecting numbing medication, tiny puncture incisions are made in discrete locations: such as behind each earlobe, in front of the ear, and under the chin. Through these tiny incisions, Dr. Rodriguez injects a mixture of local anesthetic (to prevent pain), epinephrine (to prevent bleeding), and saline (to separate the tissue layers).

The FaceTite™ device has two probes on it. The internal probe is placed through the tiny incision and passed underneath the skin. At the same time, the external probe passes over the top of the skin. As radiofrequency energy flows between the two probes, the device detects how warm the skin becomes and, as a safety measure, provides ongoing temperature checks to make sure the temperature stays within a safe but effective range.

When FaceTite™ is done to the neck, it is commonly combined with Neck Liposuction. This can be a particularly powerful combination to improve the neck contour and profile.
