FACETITE®

• Face and jaw line contouring
• Neck tightening and shaping
• Rejuvenating under eyes
• Reduction of fat

During the treatment, a surgeon inserts a cannula through a small incision in the target area, radiofrequency (RF) energy is then passed from an external probe to the cannula. FaceTite® provides the strongest minimally invasive tightening and lifting effect, as RF passes all the way through the skin, increasing collagen and elastin production throughout. The treatment has the added effect of melting fat underneath the skin.

FaceTite® is an excellent contouring and tightening device. Further skin tightening and lifting can be achieved with Morpheus8, and stubborn fat deposits are effectively treated with liposuction.

Healthy and glowing skin is developed with Profhilo® skin booster and medical grade skin care. For a younger complexion, Botox® is effective primarily in the upper face, and filler achieves contour and definition in the lower face.

Prior to arrival at Montrose

From 4 weeks prior to treatment you should avoid any abrasive treatments, including: laser; micro-needling; prolonged or UV exposure; or aggressive facials

A week before treatment stop all use of irritant topical products (Acids, Retinol, Vitamin C or scrubs)

If you are taking NSAIDs such as Asprin or Ibuprofen you should discuss with your physician whether it is possible to discontinue their use whilst you are treated with FaceTite®.

You should note that any filler injected within 6 months of FaceTite® may be dissolved by the treatment.

On arrival at Montrose

On arrival at Montrose, our team will assist in the removal of any makeup. One of our plastic surgeons or dermatologists will undertake an initial consultation to understand any of your concerns and to review your medical history, after which the treatment area will be photographed.

The procedure requires injection of local anaesthetic and infiltration of fluid to the desired area. This enables the easy passage of the cannula under the skin, and radiofrequency energy is then transmitted through the full thickness of the skin to tighten and contour.
