FaceTite is a minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) treatment that delivers controlled thermal energy beneath the skin to tighten lax tissue, contract the existing collagen scaffold, and trigger long-term collagen remodeling in the lower face and neck. The technology is FDA-cleared and was specifically engineered to bridge the gap between topical skin treatments — which cannot reach the depth needed for meaningful tightening — and surgical face and neck lifts, which require general anesthesia, longer recovery, and a higher level of intervention than many patients want or need. Performed under local anesthesia through entry points smaller than a millimeter, FaceTite produces measurable skin contraction that is closer to a surgical result than any non-surgical alternative on the market today, with continued improvement unfolding over three to six months as new collagen forms.
Dr. David Salehani is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon whose dual training in dentistry and medicine gives him a uniquely complete understanding of facial architecture — the layered relationship between bone, muscle, fat compartments, and skin that determines how an aging face actually changes and how a treatment like FaceTite will respond. With a Doctor of Dental Surgery earned with honors from State University of New York at Stony Brook and a Doctor of Medicine from Stony Brook School of Medicine, followed by a full oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and a general surgery internship at Stony Brook University Hospital, Dr. Salehani brings the same anatomical precision and surgical safety standards to a FaceTite treatment that he brings to orthognathic jaw surgery or facial trauma reconstruction. He serves as faculty at UCLA Medical Center, has held a seat on the peer review board of the Los Angeles Dental Society for over seven years, and is past president of the Beverly Hills Academy of Dentistry — credentials that allow him to identify which patients are true FaceTite candidates and which would be better served by AccuTite, Morpheus8, or a surgical alternative.
How FaceTite Works
FaceTite employs state-of-the-art radio-frequency energy delivered through a specialized handheld device. This energy is precisely applied to the treatment areas, targeting subdermal layers to stimulate collagen production and liquefy adipose tissue (fat). The controlled thermal energy not only tightens the skin but also facilitates fat reduction, resulting in smoother, firmer facial contours, creating a more youthful appearance for the face, neck and targeted areas.
Benefits of FaceTite
For our patients with lines, wrinkles or sagging skin, FaceTite can be the ultimate solution for removing excess fat and tightening the skin. Some of the many benefits of Facetite include:
- Non-Surgical Solution: FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, eliminating the need for extensive surgery and reducing associated risks and downtime.
- Improved Skin Tightening: By stimulating collagen production, FaceTite helps tighten loose skin and reduce wrinkles, enhancing overall skin texture and firmness.
- Enhanced Facial Contours: The treatment addresses areas of concern, such as the jawline, cheeks and neck, providing a more defined and youthful appearance.
- Natural-Looking Results: FaceTite delivers subtle yet noticeable improvements, maintaining natural facial expressions while rejuvenating the skin.
- Minimal Downtime: Patients typically experience minimal swelling and bruising, allowing for a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions About FaceTite
How is FaceTite different from a surgical facelift?
A facelift physically removes excess skin and repositions deeper tissue through incisions, while FaceTite tightens existing skin and stimulates collagen through tiny entry points without excision — making it appropriate for patients with mild to moderate laxity who want meaningful improvement without the recovery of surgery.
What is the difference between FaceTite and AccuTite?
Both use the same RFAL technology but the cannulas are sized differently — FaceTite is engineered for moderate-sized treatment zones such as the lower face, jawline, jowls, and neck, while AccuTite is built for the smallest, most delicate areas such as the periocular region and small body zones.
How long do FaceTite results last?
Collagen-driven tightening from FaceTite is durable and typically lasts five years or longer, though natural aging continues — many patients pair the treatment with Morpheus8, Botox, or Juvederm over time to address surface texture and volume changes.
What is the recovery like?
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for five to seven days and return to normal social activity within a week, with makeup applied to camouflage residual bruising — significantly shorter than the multi-week recovery typical of surgical neck or facelift procedures.
When will I see results?
Initial tightening is visible within the first two to three weeks as inflammation resolves, with continued improvement unfolding gradually over three to six months as new collagen forms in the treated area.
Am I a good candidate for FaceTite?
The best candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower face, jawline, or neck and want measurable tightening without surgical incisions — patients with significant excess skin or platysmal banding may be better served by a surgical lift, which Dr. Salehani will discuss honestly during consultation.
