FaceTite is a minimally invasive facial-contouring treatment that uses radiofrequency-assisted technology to address small areas of excess fat while tightening the surrounding tissue. At Funt Aesthetics, Dr. David K. Funt uses FaceTite for patients seeking greater definition in the lower face and neck without undergoing a traditional facelift or neck lift.
The treatment is especially well suited to concerns such as early jowling, fullness beneath the chin, and mild to moderate skin laxity along the jawline. Because FaceTite works beneath the skin, it can provide more noticeable tightening than surface-based treatments while still requiring less recovery than surgery.
What Can FaceTite Improve?
FaceTite is designed for smaller facial and neck areas where both localized fat and loose tissue contribute to a less defined contour.
Treatment may help improve:
-
Jowls along the lower face
-
Fullness beneath the chin
-
Mild to moderate neck laxity
-
Reduced jawline definition
-
Small pockets of facial fat
-
Early age-related softening of the lower face
FaceTite is not intended to replace a facelift when substantial excess skin or deeper tissue descent is present. Dr. Funt evaluates the degree of laxity and facial structure to determine whether this treatment can provide the desired level of correction.
How Does FaceTite Work?
FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted technology to deliver controlled heat beneath the skin. A small probe and cannula work together to heat the targeted tissue, reducing unwanted fat while encouraging contraction of the surrounding tissues.
The treatment can be performed along areas such as the jawline, chin, and neck, where small changes in contour can make a noticeable difference in facial definition.
Because the radiofrequency energy also stimulates collagen remodeling, improvement can continue after the initial treatment as the tissues gradually firm.
Who Is a Good Candidate for FaceTite?
FaceTite may be a good option for patients with early jowling, localized fat beneath the chin, or mild to moderate lower-face and neck laxity who do not yet need the level of correction provided by surgery.
Good candidates generally have realistic expectations and enough remaining skin elasticity to respond to tissue contraction.
For patients with more advanced sagging, a facelift or neck lift may provide a more appropriate result. Dr. Funt can explain where FaceTite falls between noninvasive tightening treatments and surgical facial rejuvenation.
FaceTite Recovery and Results
Some improvement in contour may be visible soon after FaceTite, although swelling can temporarily affect the initial appearance.
Patients typically need several days for swelling, tenderness, and bruising to settle enough to feel comfortable returning to work or social activities. Recovery varies depending on the extent of treatment and the areas addressed.
Results continue to develop gradually as collagen remodeling and tissue contraction progress. The jawline and neck may become more defined over the following months, with continued improvement possible as the tissues heal.
Why Choose Funt Aesthetics for FaceTite?
FaceTite is performed in areas where the skin, fat, muscles, and underlying facial structures sit closely together, so detailed anatomical knowledge is especially important. Dr. David K. Funt’s career has included extensive work in facial surgery, nonsurgical rejuvenation, and advanced facial anatomy, giving him a strong foundation for planning treatment beneath the skin. His experience allows him to evaluate whether fullness along the jawline is primarily due to fat, laxity, deeper tissue position, or a combination of factors before recommending FaceTite.
Dr. Funt has also taught facial anatomy and lectured nationally and internationally on aesthetic treatment techniques. At Funt Aesthetics, FaceTite is used selectively to enhance lower-face definition while preserving the face’s natural proportions and movement.
