FaceTite in Houston, TX

FaceTite™ is the perfect answer for patients who are not yet ready for a facelift, but want to tighten the tissues of the face and neck. For patients 30 and older looking to treat deep lines, loose skin, improve the jawline or would like to lose a double chin, FaceTite™ is an ideal option. It can also be an option for patients with more advanced skin laxity who do not want a surgical solution for various reasons but also understand that results will not be as dramatic as a surgical facelift. It can also be ideal if you’ve already had a facelift and just want to sustain your youthful look without having additional surgery. During your initial consultation, Dr. Kridel or Dr. Delaney, will help you determine if the FaceTite™ treatment is a good choice for you, based on your medical history and your own unique aesthetic goals. In order to receive this treatment, you shouldn't be pregnant or have had cosmetic injections performed within the last 6 – 8 months.

FaceTite™ produces dramatic improvement in skin laxity on the face and neck. It can be performed with local anesthesia in our AAAHC accredited surgery suite and only takes one to one and a half hours to perfgorm. There is minimal downtime needed.

Results last up to five years. We can’t stop the aging process, but it will turn back the hands of time.

Yes, you will see visible improvement right away. But, as the healing cascade from the radiofrequency heat kicks into action, you can expect to see more improvements beginning around 4 to 6 months after treatment that improves up to 12 months after the procedure.

The cost of your FaceTite™ treatment depends on the size and number of treatment areas, as well as the time projected to perform the procedure. Costs also vary if additional procedures such as, liposuction or PRP or Morpheus8 are used in combination with FaceTite™. During your consultation, one of our surgeons will discuss your cosmetic goals and treatment options before estimating the cost of your procedure.

The most common side effects of FaceTite include temporary tenderness, swelling, redness, and bruising.

Absolutely. FaceTite™ can be combined with liposuction for those patients who have more significant fat under the chin and in the neck. Liposuction removes the fat, and then the FaceTite™ procedure can help tighten the lose skin. FaceTite™ is also often combined with Morpheus8, which is a microneedling RF treatment that helps improve skin texture.

There is not a lot of downtime. As a rule of thumb, we suggest being off work or out of the public eye for 5 to 7 days. You will feel fine but have some swelling, redness, and possible bruising. You will also need to wear a facial sling for 5 to 7 days post-procedure.

Yes. And, FaceTite™ is an FDA-approved procedure. Like all treatments, there are potential risks, but they are not significant.

Our MVP surgical facelift removes excess skin and fat, while FaceTite™ tightens what is already there and helps melt away fat. A facelift shifts back the hands of time about 10 to 15 years. Because FaceTite™ is a non-surgical procedure, the time shift is about 5 years. For patients with more significant jowling and loose skin, a surgical facelift will provide more dramatic and lasting results. Also, only a surgical facelift can address platysma banding in the neck.

FaceTite™ is a stronger modality because it is bipolar, using radiofrequency beneath and above the skin. It is also delivered at a higher energy level. Ulthera is less invasive because no incisions are made at all, and there is virtually no downtime. Ulthera is for those with the earliest stages of skin laxity or who want a treatment with minimal downtime.

You can take a shower the next day, and you can wear makeup after 24 hours.

Very small incisions are made under the chin and behind both earlobes. They heal beautifully, making the incision virtually undetectable.
