What is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to sculpt and tone the face and neck. This procedure has increased in popularity among men and women since its FDA approval in 2016. FaceTite can be used to improve laxity in the skin that causes the face and neck to appear sagging and loose.
What are the Benefits of FaceTite?
FaceTite provides many benefits for both men and women, including:
- Tissue remodeling and fat coagulation from thermal heat transfer

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of FaceTite is unique to each procedure. The size of the treated area will affect the cost of the procedure. To gain a better idea of the cost, you should schedule a consultation with your doctor. Financing is available for patients who cannot afford the upfront cost of FaceTite.
FaceTite is performed in-office at Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery. The procedure uses local anesthesia and requires less downtime than traditional plastic surgery. Your plastic surgeon will make small incisions in the treatment area to insert the probe that heats and contracts the muscles and tissue. This probe heats the tissues to the desired temperature and thus causes them to contract and naturally tighten.
FaceTite can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other techniques such as liposuction. Additionally, FaceTite can be combined with other facial rejuvenation treatments and procedures.
Following any plastic or cosmetic procedure, patients can expect some downtime and recovery time. However, because FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure, the downtime is less than a typical surgery. Swelling is common for up to 10 days post-procedure. Additionally, your plastic surgeon may recommend that you wear a compression garment for the first 2-6 days. Over the next 3-6 months, the skin will gradually tighten.
