Quick Summary
- FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to tighten mild to moderate facial laxity, reduce small fat deposits, and improve facial and neck contours.
- Common treatment areas include the jowls, jawline, double chin, lower face, neck, and nasolabial folds.
- The minimally invasive procedure is performed through tiny incisions under local anesthesia with light sedation and typically requires less downtime than facelift or neck lift surgery.
- Results improve gradually as swelling resolves and collagen remodels, with continued changes possible for six to 12 months.
- Fante Eye & Face Center personalizes treatment based on each patient’s skin quality, facial anatomy, degree of laxity, and cosmetic goals.
FaceTite is a non-surgical facial-contouring treatment designed to tighten sagging skin, reduce small areas of unwanted fat, and improve facial and neck definition. Using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis technology, FaceTite can help address concerns such as jowls, double-chin fullness, mild neck laxity, and loss of jawline definition with less downtime than traditional facelift or neck lift surgery.
At Fante Eye & Face Center, patients from Denver, Greenwood Village, and surrounding Colorado communities receive FaceTite 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 FaceTite, facelift surgery, neck lift surgery, laser resurfacing, microneedling, or another treatment is the best fit for your anatomy and goals.
What is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a facial contouring procedure that can be an alternative to face and neck lift surgery for patients with less severe facial aging. It uses radiofrequency energy, similar to BodyTite, and is usually performed with simultaneous gentle liposuction.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive office procedure performed under local anesthesia and oral sedation, with tiny incisions. The radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis treatment sculpts the face and tightens collagen beneath the skin, helping improve facial contours without the downtime of traditional facelift surgery.

Candidates for FaceTite
Adults who want to reduce signs of facial and neck aging may be good candidates for FaceTite. This procedure can rejuvenate and sculpt the jowls, jawline, neck, and even areas of the upper face.
FaceTite is often best for patients with mild to moderate facial aging who look older than they feel but do not yet have deep, heavy jowls or markedly loose neck skin. Many candidates are in their 40s to 60s, though candidacy depends more on anatomy, skin quality, and treatment goals than age alone.
How Is FaceTite Different From a Face or Neck Lift?
For people with moderate to severe facial aging, heavy jowls, and obvious neck bands, a face or neck lift may be the best option for comprehensive improvement. Surgical face and neck lifts can deliver excellent results, but the cost, downtime, and healing process may not be right for everyone.
For people with mild to moderate facial aging, FaceTite can provide many of the same benefits at a lower cost, with less downtime and risk. By avoiding the larger incisions used in facelift surgery, patients may experience reduced post-procedural swelling and discomfort. This less-traumatic process can create satisfying, natural-looking results for many people in middle age.
The Benefits of FaceTite
Several benefits stem from the combination of internal and external radiofrequency energy, including:
-
Smoother, more consistent contouring because liposuction-augmented radiofrequency energy liquefies fat before removal
-
Skin contraction caused by thermal heating in the dermis, helping accentuate facial contours
-
Controlled energy distribution that reduces treatment risks by directing radiofrequency energy from the internal probe toward the external probe
-
Minimal downtime compared with traditional facelift or neck lift surgery
-
Progressive results, as collagen tightening and remodeling continue over the first several months
FaceTite can create an immediate improvement in the appearance of mild to moderate facial aging, with continued improvement over 6 to 12 months as collagen remodels beneath the skin.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
FaceTite can treat areas of the face and neck affected by mild to moderate sagging skin or unwanted fat. Common treatment areas include the double chin, jowls, jawline, lower face, neck, nasolabial folds, and other areas with loose skin or deeper facial lines.

FaceTite Recovery and Results
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia with light sedation. Patients can go home the day of the procedure and can resume regular activities shortly after, except for strenuous exercise. Some patients have more obvious bruising that may temporarily limit social interactions. We recommend that most people keep their work, exercise, and social schedule light for the first week after FaceTite just to be safe.
Results can be seen immediately, with best results noticeable after 6 to 12 weeks and continued improvement for 6 to 12 months. Much of the contour improvement, especially from lipolysis and fat removal, can be semi-permanent with long-lasting results. Collagen improvement and skin tightening can last for years, with slow recurrence as the natural aging process continues.

Frequently Asked Questions
FaceTite results can last five years or more, depending on skin quality, lifestyle, and aging. While the treatment significantly tightens and firms the skin, the natural aging process continues. Maintaining good skin care, a healthy diet, and sun protection can help prolong the results.
FaceTite is safe even with previous cosmetic procedures, such as facelifts, fillers, or laser treatments. However, your provider will assess your skin’s condition and medical history to ensure that FaceTite is the right choice. Combining FaceTite with other treatments can also enhance your overall results.
You can typically start wearing makeup 48 hours after the procedure if there is no excessive swelling or irritation. It’s essential to use gentle, non-irritating makeup and clean your skin properly to avoid infection or clogging pores while the skin is healing.
Yes, FaceTite can improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin by stimulating collagen and tightening lax areas. However, additional treatments like laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or microneedling may be recommended to improve texture and pigmentation if the skin has extensive sun damage.
Yes, if sedation or pain medication is used during your FaceTite procedure, you will need someone to drive you home. If only local anesthesia is used and you feel comfortable, you may be able to drive yourself, but it’s always best to arrange transportation just in case.
FaceTite is generally safe for patients with rosacea or sensitive skin, but a thorough evaluation is necessary. The radiofrequency energy heat can cause temporary redness and irritation, so your provider may adjust settings or recommend alternative treatments if your skin is highly reactive.
