FaceTite in Webster, TX

A normal part of the human body's natural aging process includes decreased collagen and elastin in your skin. The loss of these nutrients can cause visible lines, creases, wrinkles, and loose skin on the jowls, chin, and neck. To fight these signs of aging, Clear Lake Dermatology offers FaceTite, a revolutionary, nonsurgical procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to melt and dislodge cells, causing the skin to tighten and increase the production of collagen. This treatment can make your skin look tighter and reduce the appearance of wrinkles so that your face appears more youthful. Many patients are excited about FaceTite because it means they can achieve their desired results without undergoing surgery. We invite you to schedule an appointment at one of our offices in League City or Webster, TX to find out more about FaceTite and its benefits.

Patients who are tired of sagging, tired-looking skin on their face are often drawn toward FaceTite treatments for a multitude of reasons, including:

• Non-invasive treatment for those who do not desire surgical or invasive measures
• Triggering your body's natural collagen and elastane production to tighten the skin naturally
• Build self-confidence by creating a slimmer, smoother, tighter facial appearance
• Long-lasting results, with the potential for touch ups as needed to continuously combat signs of aging

FaceTite is often a great option for treating smaller, more delicate areas, like the lines that form around the mouth and below the eyes. It also works well on loose skin near the chin and neck. For patients who experience classic signs of aging, FaceTite can help tighten your skin by increasing the production of collagen. To undergo this treatment, you shouldn't be pregnant and should not have received cosmetic injectables within the preceding 6 – 8 months. During your consultation, we can help you determine whether this procedure is right for you.

This aesthetic treatment uses a minimally invasive technique that involves inserting a tiny cannula beneath your skin. At the beginning of your procedure, we use a local anesthetic to numb the area. Once we insert the cannula, internal and external thermometers control and monitor the temperature to make sure the heat remains at a comfortable level. The radiofrequency energy emitted by the FaceTite device is effective at eliminating fat cells and stimulating collagen production. Treatments last an average of 90 minutes. Patients should bring a friend or family member to escort them home approximately 30 minutes after the treatment is complete.

FaceTite is well tolerated and most patients experience little to no discomfort. During the first few days of recovery, there may be some soreness, but this can be treated with pain medication. We'll recommend that you return home and relax for the rest of the day while wearing a compression garment. You can resume most of your normal routine the following day. You will likely experience some discoloration or swelling, but these symptoms will subside in about three days. Following the procedure, we highly recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and activities for 1 – 2 weeks. Patients will normally see some visible results right after their FaceTite treatment. However, since the procedure involves stimulating collagen production, you'll notice gradual improvements over the course of the next 3 – 8 weeks. Your results will last longer if you maintain a healthy, stable weight with proper diet and exercise.

What makes FaceTite so great?

• Local anesthesia means fewer side effects when compared to those associated with general anesthesia
• Safety and comfort are assured, and a significant portion of the procedure is usually pain-free

How does FaceTite work?

• The device transmits energy waves in a process known as Radiofrequency-Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL), which melts excess fat in the face and neck
• A radiofrequency current travels between two electrodes through the soft tissue, fat, and skin
• Heat transfer tightens the skin and stimulates collagen production for long-term skin firming over the coming months

Who is a candidate for FaceTite?

• FaceTite is a great choice for those with stubborn fat and/or loose skin in the face and neck area
• FaceTite is a great middle-range option for patients who are unable or do not wish to undergo surgery
• Candidates should not smoke, be morbidly obese, or have heart disease or other serious health complications
• FaceTite candidates should be generally active and healthy
• Individuals who are candidates for other non-surgical or surgical facial rejuvenation treatments are often good candidates for FaceTite
