FaceTite is a cosmetic procedure that combines fat reduction and skin tightening to reduce the signs of again and create a more toned, contoured face and neck area.
Also known as radiofrequency assisted liposuction (RFAL) is a highly effective and increasingly popular genuine alternative to a surgical facelift where the skin is manually tightened by a surgeon under general anaesthetic.
The radio frequency used in the FaceTite procedure both melts fat in the face area, increasing contours and creating a slimmer looking appearance, and tightens skin by heating the skin and increasing collagen production.
Glasgow patients love FaceTite as it offers all the benefits of a full surgical facelift without many of the associated downsides.
Non-surgical facelifts are most effective in the lower half of the face and can be used to tackle smile lines, sagging skin in the cheeks and jowls, and to add definition around the neck area.
FaceTite, as the name suggests, is not suitable for other areas of the body and you should browse our range of body countering services for more information on what is.
Who uses FaceTite?
Our FaceTite client base is large and there are a wide and diverse range of people who could benefit from the treatment.
Like any cosmetic procedure, however, there are those who are prime candidates for the treatment and will see the biggest benefits as a result.
Anyone who has developed skin laxity in their face or jowls thanks to fat pockets or sagging skin could be a candidate for a non-surgical facelift.
As people enter their late 40s and early 50s, they are likely to notice more of the tell-tale signs of aging.
For this reason, many of the people who have a FaceTite treatment are in this age range, and manage to enjoy a much more youthful appearance for many years longer than would otherwise have been the case.
Please get in touch with us today if you are unsure if FaceTite is the right option for your needs, and one of our expert doctors will be delighted to advise you.
What are the differences between a surgical and non-surgical facelift?
Surgical facelifts are conducted by a trained surgeon under general aneasthetic and involve insicions being made in the skin to allow for tightening and reshaping.
Recovery from this invasive process can take between 6-8 weeks depending on the patient and you should expect to pay anywhere in the region of £8,000-£12,000.
On the other hand, a non-surgical facelift using FaceTite does NOT require general anaesthetic and has a far less impactful effect on your ability to take part in day-to-day activity.
Completed in just a couple of hours in many situations, FaceTite treatment is conducted using local anaesthetic and there is very little discomfort involved in the procedure.
After the procedure is finished you will likely experience some minor swelling, redness, and bruising in the area for a few days, but won’t face anywhere near as much downtime.
You can expect to resume completely normal day-to-day activities in just 1-2 weeks.
Despite the results being just as impressive in many cases, and lasting upwards of 5 years, FaceTite is significantly cheaper than a surgery facelift, coming in at around £4,000-£5,000.
If you have a set budget, or simply can’t afford to take several weeks off work whilst you recover from surgery but still want to enjoy all the benefits of a facelift, a non-surgical facelift conducted using FaceTite is the perfect choice.
What happens after getting FaceTite?
In the immediate aftermath of FaceTite you may be provided with a compression garment that should be worn home to help ensure that the skin heals as it should.
After 1-2 days of complete rest, you will be able to return to work and just a couple of days after that the effects of your treatment will begin to show.
If you have any concerns regarding the treatment that you have received, contact the provider.
If you have any concerns regarding your health, including continual bleeding, or excessive pain, contact a doctor immediately.
The chances of anything going wrong with a non-invasive facelift using FaceTite are extremely low and significantly lower than with surgical alternatives.
When will the full results show?
The best thing about FaceTite is that the results you will enjoy will just keep getting better and better over time.
Within 10-14 days the full results will begin to show, but because the radio frequencies from FaceTite cause your body to begin producing the collagen that increases skin elasticity, the results will continue to get better and better for many months to come.
Expect to see the final results after around 3-6 months as this is the moment when you will reach peak collagen production.
