The Treatment

Facial refinement beyond surface-level tightening.

FaceTite explained

A minimally invasive treatment that delivers controlled radiofrequency energy beneath and above the skin.

FaceTite is a radiofrequency-assisted facial contouring treatment designed to address mild to moderate skin laxity and localized fat around the lower face and neck. A small internal probe and an external electrode deliver controlled energy between them.

The energy heats targeted tissue, supports contraction beneath the skin, and may assist with reduction of small areas of unwanted fat. This allows Dr. Kenneth Jesser to refine the jawline, lower face, and neck without performing a traditional surgical facelift.

FaceTite is more involved than a non-invasive facial treatment, but less invasive than open surgery. It uses small access points rather than the larger incisions associated with a conventional face or neck lift.

01

Controlled energy delivery

Radiofrequency energy is delivered between internal and external components while temperature and treatment parameters are monitored.

02

Skin and contour addressed together

Treatment may address lax tissue and localized fullness during the same procedure when appropriate.

03

Results develop gradually

Initial contour changes may be visible after swelling subsides, while tissue remodeling can continue over the following months.

Treatment Focus

Where structure softens, FaceTite helps redefine.

FaceTite may be considered for patients who want more improvement than a surface treatment can provide but are not ready for, or do not need, a traditional surgical lift.

01

Jawline Definition

Refine a softened jawline and create a cleaner transition between the lower face and neck.

02

Jowls

Address mild to moderate lower-face laxity that contributes to early jowling.

03

Double Chin

Reduce selected areas of localized fullness beneath the chin when appropriate.

04

Loose Neck Skin

Improve the appearance of lax tissue along the upper neck and submental area.

05

Lower-Face Contour

Create a smoother, more defined lower facial silhouette.

06

Individualized Facial Balance

FaceTite may be combined with other treatments when a broader rejuvenation plan would better address volume, skin quality, or expression lines.

How It Works

Precision between two points.

FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis technology. Treatment is customized according to facial anatomy, tissue quality, localized fullness, medical history, and the degree of correction desired.

STEP 01

Map

Dr. Jesser evaluates your lower face and neck and marks the areas where tightening or contour refinement may be helpful.

STEP 02

Prepare

The treatment area is prepared, and an anesthesia plan is selected based on the procedure and your individual medical needs.

STEP 03

Deliver

A slim internal probe and external electrode deliver controlled radiofrequency energy through small access points.

STEP 04

Refine

Targeted tissue is treated methodically to support contraction and improve facial and neck contour.

Candidate Profile

Is FaceTite right for you?

The best candidates generally have mild to moderate facial or neck laxity, realistic expectations, and a desire for noticeable improvement without a traditional surgical facelift.

Consultation required

Severe skin laxity may be better addressed surgically. Dr. Jesser will explain the expected level of improvement and whether FaceTite, another treatment, or a combination plan is most appropriate.

FaceTite may help improve lower-face and jawline definition when softness is related to mild laxity, localized fat, or both.
FaceTite works beneath the skin and may offer a more substantial contouring effect than treatments that deliver energy only from the surface.
FaceTite can provide a minimally invasive alternative for selected patients, but it cannot reproduce every result achievable through surgery.
FaceTite is minimally invasive—not non-invasive. Swelling, bruising, tenderness, temporary numbness, and activity restrictions may occur.
Medical history, medications, healing capacity, skin quality, and treatment goals must all be reviewed before candidacy is confirmed.
What to Expect

A treatment journey designed around precision and healing.

Procedure length, anesthesia, compression, activity restrictions, and recovery vary according to the areas treated and whether FaceTite is combined with another procedure.

Dr. Jesser and the team will provide individualized pre-treatment and aftercare instructions. Following those instructions is essential for safe healing and the best possible result.

Consultation

Plan your treatment.

Your anatomy, skin quality, medical history, goals, and alternatives are reviewed before treatment is scheduled.

Procedure Day

Controlled facial contouring.

FaceTite is performed through small access points using an individualized anesthesia and treatment plan.

Early Recovery

Swelling and bruising settle.

Temporary tenderness, swelling, bruising, tightness, or numbness may occur. Compression may be recommended depending on the treatment.

Following Weeks

Contour becomes clearer.

Early results become easier to appreciate as swelling improves and the treated area heals.

Following Months

Results continue to mature.

Tissue remodeling may continue gradually. Final timing and degree of improvement vary from patient to patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

FaceTite®, clearly explained.

What is FaceTite®?
FaceTite is a minimally invasive facial contouring treatment that uses radiofrequency-assisted technology beneath and above the skin. It may tighten selected areas of lax tissue and reduce localized fullness in the lower face and neck.
What areas can FaceTite treat?
Common treatment areas include the jawline, jowls, lower face, submental area beneath the chin, and selected areas of the neck. Treatment recommendations depend on your anatomy and goals.
Is FaceTite the same as a facelift?
No. FaceTite is minimally invasive and uses radiofrequency-assisted contouring through small access points. A surgical facelift removes and repositions tissue through larger incisions and may provide more substantial correction for advanced laxity.
Does FaceTite leave scars?
FaceTite uses small access points rather than traditional facelift incisions. These points are generally placed discreetly, but any procedure that enters the skin can leave a mark. Healing and visibility vary by patient.
Is FaceTite performed with local anesthesia?
FaceTite may be performed using local anesthesia in appropriate cases. The final anesthesia plan depends on the treatment extent, any combined procedures, your medical history, and Dr. Jesser’s recommendation.
How much downtime should I expect?
Recovery varies. Swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, and temporary numbness may occur. Some patients return to non-strenuous activities relatively quickly, while visible swelling may take longer to resolve.
When will I see FaceTite results?
Early improvement may be visible once initial swelling decreases. Results can continue to develop over the following weeks and months as the treatment area heals and remodels.
Can FaceTite be combined with BOTOX® or dermal fillers?
FaceTite addresses skin laxity and selected facial contour concerns, while BOTOX treats expression lines and dermal fillers restore volume. Dr. Jesser may recommend a staged or combined plan when different treatments would complement one another.
Who is not a good candidate for FaceTite?
FaceTite may not be appropriate for patients with certain medical conditions, unrealistic expectations, inadequate healing capacity, or severe laxity better treated surgically. Candidacy requires an in-person medical evaluation.
