Excessive fat and lax skin are the most common problems faced by many people. The invention of AccuTite, FaceTite, and NeckTite procedures has been designed to offer an effective and safe solution for lifting and tightening saggy skin while also eliminating any unwanted fat from the body parts. The FaceTite procedure, NeckTite procedure, and the AccuTite procedure are minimally invasive skin tightening treatments that make use of RFAL, otherwise known as Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposuction to help suction out the fatty tissues and also stimulate the production of collagen.

Combined together, this radiofrequency energy and the suction method are believed to assist in contouring your face while also tightening the skin for an appearance that looks firm and youthful.

The treatments make use of an FDA-approved device that utilizes radiofrequency energy delivered through a sleek cannula for heating the tissue to a particular temperature. This heat energy that is delivered causes the shrinking of fat and triggers collagen and elastin production for lifting and tightening your skin. By using a precise temperature and energy sensor, the treatment will be well monitored, ensuring efficient delivery of results.

Despite the fact that the recuperation, downtime, and technology are similar for FaceTite, Accutite, and NeckTite procedures, the settings and cannulas are personalized according to each person's skin concern for providing maximum reduction of fat and shrinking the skin in the desired areas. So what is Facetite and NeckTite? While the FaceTite procedure is the ideal choice for a lateral face, the NeckTite procedure is typically for the neck. Whereas, the AccuTite being the smallest of the ‘Sites’ is best suited for areas around the eyes, folds of the nose, or brows. If you have droopy skin and puffiness in your eye region, then AccuTite under the eyes is the perfect treatment to firm and tighten this sensitive area.

After your skin is completely numbed using anesthesia, the procedure will start. The treatment begins by inserting a tiny metal cannula beneath the skin for delivering heat energy to the area of treatment. Usually, most patients tend to feel no pain or discomfort during the procedure. The treatment can go on for about 1-2 hours, based on the size of the treatment area.
