FaceTite™ in Raleigh & Cary, NC

What is FaceTite?

FaceTite is a minimally-invasive skin skin-tightening procedure that uses radiofrequency- assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, similar to BodyTite.  Through tiny incisions, a small probe is inserted beneath the skin to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy. This process stimulates collagen production and reduces small pockets of fat, resulting in tighter, smoother, more youthful skin. FaceTite is often an excellent alternative to facelift or neck lift surgery for patients seeking rejuvenation without extensive downtime. Many see noticeable improvement after one session, though results can vary depending on skin laxity and individual goals.

Benefits of Minimally-Invasive Face Contouring with FaceTite

The FaceTite procedure offers patients the ability to tighten skin and reduce fat without undergoing major surgery. Key benefits of FaceTite include:

• Skin tightening without large scars
• Minimal downtime
• Improved skin texture and firmness
• Targeted fat reduction
• Natural-looking, long-lasting results

This cosmetic procedure is ideal for patients with moderate signs of aging who want visible results without the downtime or risks of traditional surgery.

Am I a Candidate for FaceTite?

FaceTite is best suited for those with mild to moderate skin laxity, early jowling, or sagging in the lower face and neck. It’s also a great option for patients who prefer shorter recovery compared to a facelift. During a consultation at our Cary office, we can determine whether FaceTite is the best option for you depending on your unique needs and concerns.

What Areas Can FaceTite Treat?

FaceTite is designed to address the most common areas affected by skin laxity and fat accumulation. The procedure can tighten and contour:

• Lower face and jowls
• Neck and under the chin
• Cheeks

Because FaceTite uses small incisions and a separate tube with a radiofrequency-assisted handpiece, it allows for precise treatment of delicate tissues.

How Does FaceTite Work?

FaceTite uses radiofrequency energy to heat tissues beneath the skin’s surface. This controlled heating contracts existing collagen fibers and triggers the body’s natural production of new collagen, resulting in firmer, smoother skin over time.

As we age, collagen levels decline, leading to wrinkles and sagging. By reactivating collagen production, FaceTite restores a more lifted and youthful contour that continues to improve for months after treatment.

Typical Procedure Steps & Recovery Timeline

FaceTite is performed under MAC anesthesia; you will be asleep for this procedure. Once the area is numb, Dr. Coan makes a small incision and inserts a thin FaceTite probe beneath the skin. This specialized device delivers radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin while simultaneously cooling the surface to protect it from damage.

This dual-action technology allows for precise tissue tightening and gentle liquefaction of small fat deposits—achieving smoother, firmer contours without the need for extensive recovery. A treatment session generally takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days, with any discomfort easily managed using over-the-counter medication. Many return to normal activities within three to five days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for about one to two weeks to allow for optimal healing.

How Soon Will You See FaceTite Results?

Most patients notice initial improvements within about two weeks as swelling subsides. Over the following three to six months, collagen remodeling continues beneath the skin’s surface, gradually enhancing tightness, contour, and texture.

Results continue to refine and can last up to five years, depending on individual skin quality, lifestyle, and the natural aging process. Learn more about the benefits of FaceTite in our blog post.

FaceTite vs. Traditional Facelift & Other Contouring Options

When compared to a full facelift, FaceTite offers a visible improvement with shorter recovery and smaller risks:

• FaceTite: Minimally invasive, performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation, small incisions only, short recovery, natural improvements in skin laxity and fat reduction.
• Facelift: Major surgery performed by a surgeon under general anesthesia, longer downtime, more dramatic results, and a higher risk of scarring.
• Traditional liposuction: Removes fat but does not improve collagen production or skin tightening, making FaceTite a better choice for sagging skin.

For patients with moderate signs of aging who want to tighten skin and reduce fat without the downtime of surgery, FaceTite can be an ideal solution.

FaceTite vs. Morpheus8 and Other Skin Tightening Treatments

Both FaceTite and Morpheus8 utilize radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin laxity. However, they differ in approach and results:

• FaceTite: Uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction to reduce fat cells while tightening deeper tissues through a small electrode inserted under the skin.
• Morpheus8: A non-surgical microneedling treatment that improves skin texture and mild laxity at the surface level but does not remove fat.
• Other non-invasive treatments: May provide subtle tightening but cannot achieve the same degree of fat reduction or contouring as the FaceTite procedure.

FaceTite offers longer-lasting and more transformative results than surface-level treatments alone for patients with excess fat and moderate laxity in the face and neck.
