A Targeted Approach to Facial Tightening

At The Standard of Modern Aesthetics (SOMA), FaceTite is used for patients seeking meaningful improvement in skin laxity and contour without undergoing a full surgical procedure. This treatment bridges the gap between non-surgical options and a facelift, offering a more structured approach to tightening and definition. Each treatment is carefully selected to ensure it aligns with your anatomy and long-term goals.

Schedule your consultation with SOMA to determine if FaceTite is the right approach for your facial concerns.

What Is FaceTite?

FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and reduce small amounts of fat beneath the surface. It involves the use of a specialized device that delivers controlled heat to both the internal and external layers of tissue.

This dual-action approach allows for targeted fat reduction while also stimulating collagen production, which helps improve skin firmness over time. At SOMA, FaceTite is used as part of a broader facial contouring strategy to create refined, natural-looking results.

Benefits of FaceTite

FaceTite offers a more advanced option for patients seeking visible improvement in skin laxity without full surgery.

  • Tightens skin through controlled radiofrequency energy.
  • Reduces small pockets of fat for improved contour.
  • Minimally invasive compared to traditional facelift surgery.
  • Stimulates collagen production for gradual skin improvement.
  • Provides more noticeable results than surface-level treatments alone.

Areas Commonly Treated With FaceTite

Neck

FaceTite is often used to tighten the neck area, improving the transition between the jawline and neckline.

Lower Face

The lower face, including areas around the mouth and cheeks, can be refined to reduce heaviness and improve contour.

Jawline

Treatment can improve definition along the jawline by tightening loose skin and reducing small areas of fat.

Your Consultation

Your consultation at SOMA is designed to determine whether FaceTite is the most appropriate treatment for your concerns. You will meet with a qualified provider who will evaluate skin laxity, fat distribution, and overall facial structure. This assessment helps determine whether FaceTite, a surgical procedure, or a combination of treatments will provide the best result. This process ensures that your treatment plan is both effective and aligned with your long-term goals.

Who Is a Good Candidate for FaceTite?

FaceTite is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are not yet ready for a facelift but want more noticeable improvement than non-invasive treatments can provide. Candidates are typically in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome.

Those with early signs of sagging in the lower face or neck often benefit most from this procedure. Patients seeking subtle but meaningful contour refinement are often strong candidates.

What to Expect During Your FaceTite Procedure

FaceTite is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the treatment area and extent of the procedure.

Radiofrequency-Assisted Technique

A small probe is inserted beneath the skin to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy. At the same time, an external electrode monitors temperature to ensure precision and safety.

Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening

The energy helps break down fat while tightening the surrounding tissue. This dual effect allows for improved contour and firmness in a single procedure.

Minimally Invasive Approach

Because the treatment is minimally invasive, incisions are small, and disruption to surrounding tissue is limited.

FaceTite Recovery

Recovery after FaceTite is generally shorter than traditional surgery, though it still requires some downtime. In the initial phase, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. These symptoms are expected and improve steadily with proper care. Most individuals return to light activities within several days, while full recovery continues over a few weeks.

Gradual Improvement

Results develop over time as collagen production increases and tissues continue to tighten. Initial improvements are visible relatively early, with continued refinement over several months. SOMA emphasizes follow-up care to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.

FaceTite vs. Facelift

FaceTite and facelift procedures serve different purposes and are suited to different levels of correction. FaceTite is designed for patients with mild to moderate laxity who want improvement without surgery.

A facelift, on the other hand, is more appropriate for advanced sagging and provides more comprehensive structural repositioning. At SOMA, these options are carefully evaluated to ensure that the chosen treatment aligns with your needs and goals.

Combining FaceTite With Other Treatments

FaceTite is often combined with other treatments to enhance overall results. It may be paired with liposuction for additional contouring or with skin treatments to improve surface quality. In some cases, it is used as part of a broader facial plan that includes both surgical and non-surgical elements. Because SOMA operates within an integrated care model, these combinations are planned cohesively for consistent outcomes.

FaceTite Frequently Asked Questions

How is FaceTite different from non-invasive skin tightening?

FaceTite delivers energy beneath the skin rather than only on the surface, allowing for more noticeable tightening and contour improvement. This makes it more effective for moderate laxity compared to purely external treatments.

Are the results of FaceTite permanent?

Results are long-lasting, though natural aging will continue over time. Collagen stimulation helps improve skin quality, but maintenance treatments may be recommended.

Is FaceTite painful?

The procedure is typically well-tolerated with local anesthesia and sedation. Most patients experience mild discomfort during recovery rather than significant pain.

How long does it take to see results?

Some improvement is visible early, but results continue to develop over several months as collagen production increases and tissues tighten.

Can FaceTite replace a facelift?

FaceTite can delay the need for a facelift in some patients, but it does not replace surgery for those with more advanced sagging or structural changes.
