FaceTite Turbo

How FaceTite Turbo Works:

FaceTite Turbo uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to target and treat multiple layers of the skin, including the deep dermis, subcutaneous fat, and connective tissue. The RF energy is delivered via a small probe inserted through a tiny incision, which helps to:

1. Melt Fat: RF energy heats fat cells beneath the skin, causing them to liquefy, which is then gently suctioned out through the cannula. This helps reduce localized fat deposits, particularly in areas where it’s difficult to achieve noticeable results through diet and exercise alone.
2. Tighten Skin: The heat from the RF energy stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. Over time, this leads to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
3. Minimize Invasiveness: FaceTite Turbo is designed to achieve results similar to a facelift or neck lift but with smaller incisions and far less downtime, making it an ideal option for patients looking for non-surgical solutions to facial aging.

Key Benefits of FaceTite Turbo:

1. Facial Contouring: FaceTite Turbo is particularly effective at sculpting and contouring the face. It can target problem areas such as the jowls, neck, chin, and cheeks, where fat and skin laxity are most noticeable as we age.
2. Skin Tightening: The RF energy used in FaceTite Turbo stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps tighten and firm sagging skin, giving the face a more lifted and youthful appearance.
3. Fat Reduction: FaceTite Turbo targets fat deposits in areas like the lower face and neck. It’s effective in treating double chins, buccal fat, and other localized fat areas without the need for traditional liposuction.
4. Non-Surgical: FaceTite Turbo offers a non-invasive alternative to facelifts or neck lifts. It eliminates the need for large incisions, long recovery periods, and visible scarring, while still delivering noticeable results.
5. Minimal Downtime: Unlike traditional surgical procedures, FaceTite Turbo requires minimal downtime, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a few days to a week. Mild swelling, bruising, and redness may occur, but these typically subside quickly.
6. Long-Lasting Results: The results from FaceTite Turbo are permanent because fat cells are permanently removed. Collagen production continues to improve for months after treatment, leading to gradual skin tightening and refinement over time.

Ideal Candidates for FaceTite Turbo:

• Individuals with Mild to Moderate Facial Sagging: This treatment is ideal for people who have sagging skin or wrinkles on the face and neck due to aging, weight loss, or genetics, but do not want to undergo invasive surgery.
• Patients with Localized Fat Deposits: It is effective for individuals looking to contour and sculpt areas like the jowls, chin, neck, or cheeks where fat may accumulate.
• Those Seeking Non-Surgical Alternatives to a Facelift: FaceTite Turbo provides a less invasive option for individuals who want the benefits of a facelift or neck lift without the risks and recovery associated with surgery.
• Individuals Looking for a More Defined Jawline or Neck: If you’re looking to achieve a more contoured jawline, reduce a double chin, or tighten the skin on the neck, FaceTite Turbo can be an ideal solution.

Treatment Areas:

• Neck: Ideal for reducing a double chin, sagging skin, and contouring the neck area.
• Jowls: Targets sagging skin along the jawline and the lower face to provide a lifted, more defined appearance.
• Chin and Cheeks: Helps with fat removal and skin tightening, particularly around the chin and cheek areas where volume loss and skin laxity are common.
• Lower Face: A great solution for contouring the lower third of the face, improving overall symmetry and youthful appearance.

Procedure Overview:

1. Consultation: During the consultation, the provider will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine whether FaceTite Turbo is the right treatment for you.
2. Treatment: FaceTite Turbo is performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made, typically behind the ear or under the chin, through which the RF probe is inserted. The probe delivers radiofrequency energy to the underlying tissues, melting fat and tightening the skin simultaneously.

• The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the areas being treated.

3. Pain Management: Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort during the procedure. Some patients may also opt for sedation if they are anxious about the treatment.
4. Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness, which typically resolves within a few days. Compression garments may be recommended to support the skin as it tightens and to reduce swelling.

Results and Maintenance:

• Immediate Results: Some improvement in skin tightness and contour may be visible immediately after treatment, but the full effects take time to develop.
• Gradual Results: The full skin-tightening effect from collagen production will continue to improve for 3 to 6 months following the procedure.
• Long-Term Benefits: Fat cells are permanently removed, and collagen production continues for several months, leading to long-lasting results. However, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is important to preserve the results.
• Maintenance Treatments: For long-term results, some patients may choose to have maintenance treatments every 1 to 2 years.

Risks and Side Effects:

• Swelling and Bruising: Some swelling, bruising, or redness may occur in the treated area, but these symptoms are usually mild and resolve within a few days.
• Skin Sensitivity: Temporary skin sensitivity may occur after the procedure, especially in areas where the RF energy was applied.
• Rare Complications: While rare, complications such as infection, burns, or uneven results can occur, but these are minimized when the treatment is performed by a skilled, experienced provider.

Aftercare:

• Compression Garment: Wearing a compression garment is often recommended for several days to help with swelling and to support the newly tightened skin.
• Avoid Intense Activity: Patients should avoid strenuous physical activity for a week or so to allow the treated areas to heal properly.
• Sun Protection: The treated skin may be more sensitive to the sun, so it’s important to wear sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect the skin and maintain results.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Your provider may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and ensure the best outcome.

Summary:

FaceTite Turbo is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) technology to contour and tighten the skin on the face and neck. It provides skin tightening, fat reduction, and overall facial rejuvenation without the need for traditional surgery. Ideal for individuals seeking to reduce sagging skin, refine their jawline, or contour their face without the risks and recovery time associated with facelifts or neck lifts, FaceTite Turbo delivers noticeable and long-lasting results with minimal downtime. Whether you’re addressing jowls, a double chin, or general facial laxity, FaceTite Turbo offers an effective solution for those looking to restore a more youthful, sculpted appearance.
