Quick Summary
- AccuTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to tighten skin and reduce small pockets of fat in precise areas of the face and body.
- Common treatment areas include the brows, lower face, neck, nasolabial folds, upper arms, abdomen, hands, knees, and thighs.
- The minimally invasive procedure is performed through a small opening using local anesthesia or light sedation.
- Results develop gradually as swelling subsides and collagen remodeling continues, with improvement possible for up to 12 months.
- Fante Eye & Face Center recommends treatment based on each patient’s skin laxity, fat distribution, anatomy, and cosmetic goals.
AccuTite is a non-surgical skin tightening and contouring treatment designed for small, delicate areas of the face and body. Using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis technology, AccuTite can help address localized skin laxity and small pockets of unwanted fat in areas that require precision, such as the brows, lower face, neck, nasolabial folds, upper arms, hands, knees, and thighs.
At Fante Eye & Face Center, patients from Denver, Greenwood Village, and surrounding Colorado communities receive AccuTite treatment from a team with advanced experience in facial aesthetics, minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, and oculofacial plastic surgery. Dr. Robert Fante is recognized as a pioneer in minimally invasive facial surgery, while both Dr. Levitt and Dr. Huang are ASOPRS-trained surgeons and ASOPRS Candidate Members. Together, the team can help determine whether AccuTite, another RFAL treatment, surgery, or a nonsurgical option is the best fit for your goals.
What is AccuTite?
AccuTite is the smallest of the three RFAL devices. Its size and settings are designed to sculpt smaller areas such as nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth or even a sagging brow. Though smaller, the AccuTite treatment achieves the same outstanding results as its sister devices.
Am I a Candidate for AccuTite?
Adults interested in skin tightening and/or fat reduction in a localized area may be good candidates for AccuTite. This treatment is often best suited for patients with mild to moderate laxity or small areas of unwanted fat who are not ready for a more invasive surgical procedure.
The treatment is commonly performed on the:
-
Under-eyes
-
Cheeks
-
Folds near the mouth
-
Eyebrow area
-
Neck skin
What Areas Can AccuTite Treat?
AccuTite can treat small areas of sagging skin or excess fat with pinpoint accuracy. Common areas for the face include the brows, periorbital region, nasolabial folds, lower face, and neck. On the body, patients can receive BodyTite, a related procedure for the axilla, upper arms, abdomen, inner thighs, knees, and other localized areas.
The Benefits of AccuTite
The RFAL technology in the AccuTite device offers several benefits. The treatment is minimally invasive, requiring only a small nick in the skin to access deeper layers of tissue. This allows the procedure to be performed using only a local anesthetic.
The device has built-in monitoring and shut-off mechanisms that help prevent overheating that could damage surrounding tissue. Because the applicator is small, it can achieve precise sculpting in smaller areas that are typically more challenging. The directional energy delivered by treatment also supports long-term tissue tightening. Clinical studies indicate that results can last five or more years.
How Does AccuTite Treatment Work?
AccuTite treatment begins with the application of a local anesthetic. This may include minor injections of a numbing agent into the area where the skin will be nicked. After numbing, the doctor uses the small cannula applicator to deposit radiofrequency energy beneath the skin via the internal electrode. The energy is directed toward the skin surface, where the external electrode passes over it. This directional heating melts subcutaneous fat while also tightening collagen fibers. Microcannulas may be used to remove liquefied fat. Depending on the treatment area, the procedure may be done in as little as twenty minutes.
AccuTite Recovery & Results
AccuTite is a minimally invasive procedure performed with a very small wand under local anesthesia or light sedation. Post-procedure, patients can go home the same day and resume regular activities shortly after. Depending on the treatment area, wearing a compression garment may be recommended.
Swelling, bruising, and tenderness can vary based on the area treated, and our team will provide specific recovery instructions for your procedure. Results can be seen immediately, with the best results noticeable after 6 weeks and continuing to improve for up to 12 months.
AccuTite Safety and Side Effects
AccuTite is part of the Radiofrequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL) family of technologies, which has more than 26 peer-reviewed clinical publications demonstrating high safety. AccuTite has numerous safeguards built into its technology to ensure uniform, gentle heating.
AccuTite is generally well tolerated, but temporary side effects can occur. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, tenderness, firmness, numbness, or redness in the treated area after the procedure.
More serious complications are uncommon, but they can occur with any minimally invasive treatment. Our team will review possible risks, aftercare instructions, and what to watch for during recovery before your procedure.
Alternatives to AccuTite
AccuTite is one option for improving small areas of skin laxity or localized fat, but it is not the only approach. Depending on your concerns, our team may recommend alternatives such as FaceTite, BodyTite, laser skin tightening, injectable treatments, liposuction, or a surgical lifting procedure.
Patients with mild laxity may be good candidates for minimally invasive or nonsurgical treatments, while patients with more significant sagging or excess skin may need a surgical option for more noticeable improvement. During your consultation, our team can explain which treatment is most appropriate for your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many patients undergo one AccuTite procedure for the selected treatment area. The doctors at Fante Eye & Face Center will evaluate your skin laxity, localized fat, and desired outcome to determine whether one treatment is likely to meet your goals.
AccuTite requires a very small opening to place the applicator beneath the skin. Any resulting mark is typically small, although healing varies by patient and treatment area. Our team will explain where the opening will be placed and how to care for it during recovery.
Yes. AccuTite may be combined with other treatments when multiple concerns are present. Depending on your goals, the Fante Eye & Face Center team may recommend pairing it with another RFAL procedure, injectable treatment, skin resurfacing, or surgery as part of a personalized plan.
