FaceTite in Plano, TX

In time, the body's natural supply of collagen and elastin decreases, causing the skin to become less firm and elastic. In the face, this can create a double chin, jowls, facial lines and wrinkles, loose neck skin, and more. At Beyond Beautiful, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Vu Ho has added the FaceTite system for facial contouring and refinement. FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to remove fat and tighten the skin of the face and neck. The addition of radiofrequency energy allows FaceTite to be a minimally invasive procedure with very little scarring and less recovery time than a surgical facelift.

FaceTite treatments at Beyond Beautiful can give both men and women the benefits of a facelift without the surgery, cost, and recovery time. This minimally invasive procedure allows Dr. Ho to stimulate the deepest layers of the skin to activate the production of new collagen and elastin. As the levels of collagen and elastin rise, the skin begins to firm and tighten, reducing lines, wrinkles, creases, and other signs of aging. In addition, skin tone, texture, and appearance are improved for a brighter, healthier, and more youthful appearance. Results can be very long-lasting, and there is little to no downtime.

FaceTite is designed for smaller areas, including the neck, jowls, lower eyes, as well as the arms, inner thighs, breasts, and knees. FaceTite is best for patients who:

• Do not want or need to remove stubborn areas of fat
• Have loose skin in their face and neck
• Have wrinkles and fine lines on their face
• Want to avoid surgical scars and recovery times
• Want to correct a double chin or jowls

Patients will be placed under local anesthesia during their procedure to reduce discomfort before the small, non-aspirating cannula is inserted under the skin. The cannula heats to a safe temperature (using monitors both inside and outside of the skin) to stimulate skin contraction. Since FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure, no scars will be visible if the patient follows the doctor's post-treatment instructions for skin care.

Patients will be able to see some results immediately after their procedure, but the best results will not be visible for at least 6 – 12 weeks once the swelling subsides. Patients should wear a special compression garment in any treated areas to help their results. Patients are able to leave after their procedure and after a few hours of rest, can resume normal activities. Strenuous activity, like exercise, should be avoided for 1 – 2 weeks.

While FaceTite is able to tighten the skin on the face, much like a facelift, MyEllevate™ is a minimally invasive procedure that can complement these results by defining and contouring the jawline. This procedure is able to address underlying muscles and glands in the jaw by supporting, elevating, and approximating them until the desired appearance is achieved. In this way, we can further improve the results of FaceTite by enhancing the overall appearance of the face.

Hold off on the surgical facelift and temporary wrinkle treatments in favor of FaceTite minimally invasive skin tightening technology. Providing fast results and almost no downtime, FaceTite can firm and tighten the face for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
