Sagging skin, jowls, and deepening facial lines can make you look older than you feel—but not everyone wants to undergo a surgical facelift. At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, we offer FaceTite, a minimally invasive, radiofrequency-assisted skin tightening treatment that delivers surgical-level results without surgery.
If you’ve been wondering which areas of the face can be rejuvenated with FaceTite, the answer is: more than you might think. This powerful contouring tool can lift, tighten, and refine many common trouble spots across the face and jawline—all with little downtime and long-lasting results.
What Is FaceTite?
FaceTite is an advanced facial contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to:
-
Melt fat in targeted areas
-
Tighten and contract skin
-
Stimulate new collagen production
It works by delivering controlled heat beneath the skin’s surface through a small cannula, while a second electrode remains on top of the skin. This dual-temperature system ensures precise, safe energy delivery for maximum tightening without damaging surrounding tissue.
FaceTite is often called the “nonsurgical facelift” because it can significantly improve facial contour, skin tone, and definition with just one treatment—without general anesthesia, stitches, or long recovery.
Face Areas Commonly Treated with FaceTite
FaceTite is ideal for areas where skin laxity and fat accumulation are common. We can treat multiple regions during a single session for full-face rejuvenation.
1. Jawline and Jowls
-
Tightens sagging skin along the jawline
-
Reduces jowls and improves definition
-
Creates a more sculpted, youthful profile
Why it works: By melting fat and tightening skin, FaceTite redefines the jawline without needing a lower facelift or chin implant.
2. Lower Face and Marionette Lines
-
Smooths and tightens skin around the mouth
-
Lifts the corners of the mouth
-
Reduces deep lines extending from the lips to the jawline
Why it works: RF energy tightens loose skin and improves the volume loss that contributes to sagging around the lower face.
3. Chin and Submental Area (Double Chin)
-
Targets submental fullness (double chin)
-
Tightens under-chin skin for a sleeker profile
-
Reduces fat and crepiness in one treatment
Why it works: The dual-action heating melts stubborn fat while boosting skin contraction—an ideal combo for redefining the neck-chin angle.
4. Cheeks and Nasolabial Folds
-
Lifts sagging midface skin
-
Softens deep laugh lines
-
Restores volume and contour to the cheek area
Why it works: FaceTite restores youthful cheek structure by tightening deep skin layers and creating a firmer foundation.
5. Neck and Upper Neck
-
Improves “turkey neck” or loose skin below the chin
-
Tightens neck bands and restores contour
-
Enhances jaw-to-neck transition
Why it works: FaceTite extends below the jawline to treat neck laxity for a comprehensive lower face lift without surgery.
6. Brow and Around the Eyes (with AccuTite)
Using AccuTite, a smaller version of FaceTite, we can safely treat more delicate areas such as:
-
Under-eye hollows and crepey skin
-
Brow lift effect without incisions
-
Crow’s feet smoothing
Why it works: AccuTite’s precision allows us to safely contour around the eyes and upper face for subtle, natural rejuvenation.
Benefits of FaceTite
-
Minimally invasive: Tiny entry points, no scalpels or stitches
-
Dual action: Melts fat and tightens skin simultaneously
-
Customizable: Treat one or multiple areas in one session
-
Single treatment: Most patients need only one procedure
-
Natural results: Skin tightens gradually over 3–6 months
-
Long-lasting: Results can last up to 3–5 years
-
Little downtime: Most patients return to daily activities in a few days
FaceTite provides a bridge between noninvasive treatments and surgery, making it perfect for patients who want significant results without surgical risk.
What to Expect During the Procedure
-
Local anesthesia is administered for comfort
-
Tiny access points (like a needle prick) are made in the skin
-
The FaceTite probe is inserted beneath the skin to deliver radiofrequency energy
-
Fat is melted and suctioned (if necessary), while the skin is simultaneously heated and contracted
-
No stitches are needed—entry points heal naturally
The procedure takes about 1–2 hours, depending on the areas being treated, and you can go home the same day.
Recovery and Results
-
Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness is normal for a few days
-
Most patients return to normal activities within 3–5 days
-
A compression garment may be recommended to support healing
-
Results appear gradually over 6 weeks to 6 months, as collagen builds and skin tightens
Results last years, especially when paired with healthy lifestyle habits and good skincare.

FaceTite is best for patients who:
-
Are in their 30s to 60s
-
Have mild to moderate skin laxity on the face or neck
-
Have stubborn fat under the chin or jawline

A soft jawline or double chin
-
Wrinkles around the eyes or mouth
FaceTite vs. Other Treatments
| Treatment | Targets | Invasiveness | Downtime | Longevity |

| Ultherapy | Skin laxity | Non-invasive | None | 1–2 years |
| Thermage | Mild laxity, texture | Non-invasive | None | 1–2 years |
