in Mobile, Alabama
Serving Mobile, Baldwin County, AL, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast
FaceTite® Overview
FaceTite® is a minimally invasive procedure designed to improve skin laxity and contour in the face and neck using radiofrequency energy. At Barber Facial Plastic Surgery, FaceTite® treatments are performed by Dr. Henry Barber, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, in Mobile, Alabama.
This procedure is commonly selected by individuals seeking improvement in mild to moderate skin laxity who may not be ready for traditional surgical facial procedures.
What Is FaceTite®?
FaceTite® utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to deliver controlled energy beneath the skin. This energy gently heats the tissue, which can help tighten skin and address localized fat.
FaceTite® is typically performed under local anesthesia or light sedation. Because it is minimally invasive, it does not involve large incisions or removal of skin.
Areas Treated With FaceTite®
FaceTite® may be used to address areas of skin laxity and contour concerns in the face and neck, including:
- The jawline
- Jowls
- Submental area (double chin)
- Neck
Treatment areas are determined during the consultation process based on individual anatomy and goals.
FaceTite® Compared to Surgical Procedures
FaceTite® differs from traditional facelift or neck lift surgery in that it does not involve excisional skin removal. As a result, it is associated with smaller access points and typically less swelling and downtime than surgical procedures.
While FaceTite® can improve skin firmness and contour, it is not a replacement for surgical lifting in patients with significant skin laxity. The most appropriate treatment option is determined during consultation based on degree of aging and desired outcome.
FaceTite® Results and Timeline
Some improvement may be noticeable shortly after treatment; however, results continue to develop gradually as tissues heal and collagen remodeling occurs.
- Initial improvement may be seen early
- Continued improvement typically occurs over 6 to 12 months
- Results vary based on skin quality, age, and treatment area
Individual outcomes may vary, and no procedure can stop the natural aging process.
