FaceTite can be beneficial for adults of any age who wish to reduce the signs of aging. However, the best results are typically seen in patients in their late 30s to early 50s and beginning to see the early formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin on their faces.
FaceTite doesn't work well for older patients because they generally have significantly loose skin and poor skin elasticity. Additionally, as with any treatment that involves heat, there's a risk of skin burns or discoloration. Older patients generally have thinner, more fragile skin that heat could easily damage.
While there is no rule against starting this treatment in your 20's at the first signs of skin laxity, our patients typically tend to range in age from 30 to 65. Ideally, you will want to start treatment before significant collagen loss has taken place, but successful results can still be achieved later in life.
It comes with risks and unwanted effects.
Because FaceTite procedures involve heat and energy, you can expect uneven skin discolouration and burning. Bruising and swelling can also manifest and last differently from one patient to another.
FaceTite Costs
The national average cost* of FaceTite in the United States is $4,848, but the cost can range from $3,725 to $9,265 depending on several factors, including treatment area (face and/or neck), skin type and condition, number of sessions and location of clinic.
It's a great alternative to a facelift for patients who have mild to moderate skin sagging. A full surgical facelift is a more effective option for more severe skin sagging, but for the majority of patients, FaceTite can provide beautiful and comparable results with less recovery time and risk.
Ultherapy Treatment Process and Cosmetic Benefits
As collagen production increases, the skin begins to tighten, reducing the appearance of loose skin and wrinkles. Unlike FaceTite, a cosmetic surgeon could use Ultherapy treatments on areas beyond the face, including the patient's neck and chest.
FaceTite is a versatile treatment option that is quite effective at treating loose skin and excess fat in the cheeks, jowls, and submental (under the chin) region. Is FaceTite painful? FaceTite is very well tolerated with mild oral sedation and local anesthesia.
Both Morpheus8 and FaceTite excel at treating small, localized areas of the body where skin tightening is desired. Morpheus8 is ideal for the neck and other small areas of the body, while we typically recommend FaceTite as a facelift alternative for patients who want comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
There may be tiny dense lumps under your skin (especially the neck area). These lumps are not visible but can be felt by hand. These occur due to subcutaneous heating, smoothens, and contracts over two or three months after treatment. Your face and neck may also feel tender for a week.
At What Age Can I Do Thermage? Thermage is suitable for a wide range of age groups. Younger patients in their 30s and 40s often seek treatment for early signs of aging and preventative measures. In contrast, older patients in their 50s and beyond use Thermage to address more pronounced skin laxity and wrinkles.
Typically, good candidates for FaceTite are in their late 30s to early 50s and are beginning to see the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin on their face. Some common physical attributes a good FaceTite candidate might possess include: Subtle to moderate creases around the mouth and nose.
Although a traditional facelift can produce much more dramatic changes in your overall appearance, targeting excess fat cells—a signature benefit of FaceTite—may be more effective for your specific conditions without exposing you to some of even the minor risks associated with facelift surgery.
This brings us to another point: FaceTite can also be repeated in intervals appropriate to your needs. Most patients benefit from treatment every five years or so to keep skin firm and tight. And before you think it's possible to have too many treatments, you need not worry.
FaceTite accomplishes tightening and fat reduction on larger areas of the face like the jawline or neck. Alternatively, AccuTite is beneficial for smaller areas like the nasolabial folds or the undereyes. Both options can sometimes be used on appropriate areas of the body as well.
Though this treatment stimulates collagen production over an extended period, you might notice tightening within the first week and perhaps even immediately. Because it is minimally invasive, downtime is normally limited to three or four days.
More serious complications from FaceTite or BodyTite treatments are possible, but they are rare. For instance, infections or slow healing may require antibiotics or wounds care. Our detail-oriented team will work hard to make sure that your FaceTite or BodyTite procedure is as safe as possible.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive treatment requiring no general anesthesia or lengthy recovery period. You will still need to arrange for someone to drive you home after your procedure. It is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, soreness, and itchiness in the treatment area.
Candidates for Facetite
This procedure can rejuvenate and sculpt the jowls, jawline, neck and even the upper face. It is best for people in the age range from 40 to 60 who look older than they want but do not yet have deep, heavy jowls or markedly loose neck skin.
Bottom line: Laser resurfacing can tighten skin, usually better than any other skin-tightening procedure. It can also diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots on the skin, such as age spots.
Skin brightening treatments, like Microdermabrasion, Light Peels, Micro Laser Peels, or the Clear & Brilliant Laser treatment all help patients to look 10 years younger or more, with just a few treatments. These treatments can be used in order to combat the signs of aging in the face, such as: Wrinkles.
Mini Facelift Cost
It involves smaller incisions and shorter recovery times compared to a traditional facelift, making it ideal for patients with mild to moderate aging concerns. Costs range from $4,100 to $18,500, with an average of $10,200.
