FaceTite
Facial Rejuvenation with FaceTite in San Francisco
As we age, the skin on our face and neck loses elasticity, leading to sagging and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. For those looking to achieve a more youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgery, FaceTite offers an innovative solution. At Bay Area Plastic Surgery, Dr. Leonard Gray offers FaceTite, a cutting-edge treatment that tightens and lifts the skin, restoring a firmer, more youthful appearance.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and contour the skin on the face and neck. Unlike traditional facelift surgery, FaceTite does not require large incisions or extensive downtime. The procedure works by delivering controlled heat to the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and cause the tissue to contract, resulting in a lifted and rejuvenated appearance.
The Science Behind FaceTite
FaceTite utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology known for its ability to target fat cells with precision and stimulate collagen production. During the procedure, a small probe is inserted under the skin through a tiny incision. This probe delivers radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas, effectively melting fat and tightening the surrounding skin. The dual effects of fat reduction and skin tightening make FaceTite a highly effective treatment for facial rejuvenation.

The Benefits of FaceTite
One of the primary benefits of FaceTite is that it provides significant results without the need for traditional surgery. Patients who undergo FaceTite can expect to see a noticeable improvement in the firmness and contour of their skin with minimal scarring and downtime.
Additional benefits include:
- Minimally Invasive: FaceTite requires only small incisions, resulting in less scarring and quicker recovery times compared to traditional facelifts.
- Precise Targeting: The radiofrequency energy used in FaceTite allows for precise targeting of fat cells and skin tissues, ensuring optimal results.
- Natural-Looking Results: FaceTite stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, leading to gradual, natural-looking improvements in skin tone and texture.
- Versatile Treatment Areas: FaceTite can be used to address a variety of concerns, including sagging jowls, loose neck skin, and fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
Ideal Candidates for FaceTite
FaceTite is an excellent option for individuals beginning to notice signs of aging, such as sagging skin, but are not yet ready for a traditional facelift. Ideal candidates for FaceTite are typically in their 30s to 60s, have good skin elasticity, and are in overall good health. This procedure is particularly beneficial for those who want to improve the appearance of their face and neck without undergoing more invasive surgical procedures.
The FaceTite Procedure: What to Expect
FaceTite procedures are performed under local anesthesia, which helps to minimize discomfort and reduce recovery time. The treatment typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the treated area. During the procedure, Dr. Gray will make small incisions near the treatment areas and insert the FaceTite probe under the skin. The probe delivers radiofrequency energy, which melts fat and tightens the skin simultaneously.
Patients may experience mild swelling and bruising following the procedure, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week; however, it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks.
FaceTite Results: What to Expect
The results of FaceTite are both immediate and progressive. Patients will notice an improvement in the tightness and contour of their skin shortly after the procedure with continued improvements over the next six months as collagen production increases. The results of FaceTite can last for several years, making it an excellent long-term solution for facial rejuvenation.
Combining FaceTite with Other Treatments
For patients seeking more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, FaceTite can be combined with other non-surgical treatments, such as dermal fillers, Botox®, or other facial rejuvenation procedures that enhance skin texture and tone. Combining treatments allows for a more customized approach, addressing multiple concerns with a single treatment plan.
FaceTite vs. Traditional Facelift: Which Is Right for You?
While both FaceTite and traditional facelifts are effective facial rejuvenation solutions, the best option for you will depend on your individual goals and the extent of your concerns. FaceTite is ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity who are looking for a less invasive option with minimal downtime. However, for patients with more significant sagging or those seeking more dramatic results, a traditional facelift may be the better choice.
During your consultation at Bay Area Plastic Surgery, Dr. Gray will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
Cost of FaceTite
The cost of FaceTite can vary depending on the extent of the treatment and the areas being addressed. While FaceTite is generally more affordable than a traditional facelift, it is important to consider that results are typically less dramatic. During your consultation, Dr. Gray will provide a detailed cost estimate based on your customized treatment plan.
