FaceTite
in Highland Park, IL
What is FaceTite?
FaceTite utilizes minimally invasive radio-frequency energy to melt fat and tighten skin. It provides dramatic improvement in skin laxity on the face and neck without having to go through a surgical procedure such as a facelift. You’ll see noticeable improvement in sagging skin and facial contour, but with less downtime and no general anesthesia. The FaceTite device delivers controlled radio-frequency energy that gently heats the tissue. This helps to break down fat and trigger collagen production, which tightens the skin over time. It’s a great way to restore definition and tone to areas like the jawline, cheeks, and neck.
What areas can be treated with FaceTite?
FaceTite is great for treating those areas where skin starts to lose its firmness over time. It works well on both the face and neck, especially in places where sagging or deep lines are starting to show.
Common treatment areas include:
- Jawline
- Jowls
- Chin (double chin)
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Neck
If you’re looking to tighten these areas without surgery, FaceTite is a smart, low-downtime option that delivers real results.
Benefits of FaceTite
FaceTite is a great option for anyone who wants to tighten loose skin and reduce small pockets of fat without surgery. It can help define the jawline, lift the lower face, and create a more youthful look overall. Because it’s minimally invasive, there’s no need for general anesthesia or long recovery times. Most people are back to their normal routine within a few days, which makes this treatment easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Some of the most common benefits of FaceTite include:
- Smoother, firmer skin
- A more sculpted look around the jawline and neck
- A subtle lift in the lower face
- Natural-looking results without surgery
- Minimal downtime and no general anesthesia
- Improved skin texture and tone over time
This treatment works well on common trouble spots like the lower face and neck, areas that tend to show early signs of aging.
Am I a candidate for FaceTite?
FaceTite is a good fit for people with mild to moderate skin laxity in the face or neck who want to avoid traditional surgery. If you’re in overall good health and have realistic expectations, you’re probably a great candidate.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have loose or sagging skin around the face or neck
- Want to avoid the recovery time of a full facelift
- Prefer a minimally invasive approach
- Are generally healthy and don’t smoke
- Haven’t had facial injectables recently
There are a few situations where FaceTite might not be recommended. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have had recent facial injectables, you may need to wait before moving forward. It’s also important to let Dr. Bloch know about any medical conditions or allergies you may have during your consultation so he can help decide if this treatment is right for you.
FaceTite Consultation and Preparation
When you come in for a consultation at Body By Bloch, Dr. Bloch will take a close look at your facial structure, ask about your goals, and go over your health history. He’ll answer any questions you have and make sure you feel completely comfortable with the treatment plan.
In the days leading up to your appointment, you might be asked to avoid medications or supplements that can thin your blood, like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E, so there’s less risk of bruising. It’s also a good idea to steer clear of alcohol and herbal supplements for a few days beforehand. If you use nicotine products, including vapes, you’ll need to pause those as well since they can slow down healing. Make sure you get a solid night’s sleep the night before and eat a light meal the day of your procedure. You’ll also want to arrange a ride home since driving right after isn’t recommended.
The FaceTite Procedure
FaceTite is done in-office using local anesthesia, so you’ll be awake but comfortable. Dr. Bloch will make a tiny incision and insert a small device that delivers radiofrequency energy under the skin. This helps melt fat and tighten the surrounding tissue at the same time. Most treatments take about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Once it’s done, you’ll be able to head home the same day.
How quickly will I see results from FaceTite?
After receiving FaceTite Highland Park patients can see their results immediately, with best results noticeable after 6 months and continuing up until 12 months.
FaceTite Recovery
After your procedure, you might notice some swelling, redness, or tenderness; this is totally normal and should start to fade within a few days. You’ll likely need to wear a compression garment around the treated area for the first few days to help with healing. After that, you might only need it at night for about a week.
While every person heals a little differently, most people can go back to work and regular daily activities within three to five days. You’ll want to skip any intense workouts or heavy lifting for a couple of weeks, just to be safe.
FaceTite Aftercare
To keep your results looking fresh, stick to a solid skincare routine, and don’t forget the sunscreen. You can usually get back to your normal products about a day after treatment, but it’s best to hold off on any retinoids or strong vitamin C products for a week.
Staying hydrated, eating well, and avoiding smoking or vaping will help maintain your results over time. Dr. Bloch may also recommend occasional follow-up treatments or check-ins to make sure everything is healing properly and looking the way you want.
How much does FaceTite cost?
Because FaceTite is customized to each patient, the cost can vary. Pricing depends on things like the area being treated, how much work is needed, and whether you’re combining it with other procedures. Dr. Bloch will walk you through everything during your consultation, including what’s included, like anesthesia, surgical fees, and any facility costs. We recommend coming in for a consultation so we can give you an accurate quote that’s tailored to your needs.
