About FaceTite  /

how does it work?

FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted technology. The procedure involves small incisions through which instruments are inserted. Through these incisions, radiofrequency energy is delivered to subcutaneous tissues. This thermal energy affects adipose tissue and may influence collagen in surrounding tissues. A small cannula is then used to remove affected adipose tissue.

The thermal energy delivery may stimulate collagen remodelling over time, potentially affecting skin characteristics in the treated area. Collagen remodelling occurs gradually over several months following the procedure.

Individual responses vary significantly. Some patients may achieve visible improvement, while others may experience minimal change or require additional procedures

The potential effects of FaceTite  /

FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to address mild to moderate skin laxity and localised subcutaneous fat deposits in facial areas. The procedure uses radiofrequency energy with the aim of affecting collagen production and subcutaneous fat.

Collagen remodelling may affect the appearance of fine lines over time, though individual responses vary significantly. The radiofrequency-assisted approach is designed to affect adipose tissue prior to removal. The procedure requires small incisions, which will result in scarring, though scars may fade over time.

FaceTite involves less extensive tissue manipulation compared to surgical face lifting. Recovery time is reduced compared to surgery but still requires a healing period. Some changes may be apparent shortly after the procedure, though final results develop over several months as collagen remodelling occurs and swelling resolves.

Suitable candidates  /

And factors to consider

The treatment can be a suitable alternative to a surgical facelift for those who prefer a less invasive procedure. Suitable candidates should want to treat minimal to moderate skin laxity and/or address areas of unwanted fat pockets on the lower facial areas, such as the cheeks, jawline and chin.

Suitable candidates should be within a healthy weight range. Commonly, FaceTite patients are aged between 40 and 60, but your suitability for the procedure will ultimately depend on the condition of the area to be treated, your health and your expectations.

If you are currently experiencing a severe health condition, have active skin infections or wounds in the treatment area, or are a smoker, you may not be a suitable candidate. Smokers may be asked to quit for a sufficient period of time before and after the procedure to be considered suitable for the treatment.

A consultation with Dr. Scott Allison will determine your suitability for FaceTite. During your consultation, you can discuss health factors and your expectations for the results.

Your consultation with Dr. Scott Allison

Dr. Scott Allison has over 10 years of experience in performing minimally invasive treatments. Understanding each patient’s unique needs, he provides personalised treatment plans, designed to account for individual circumstances and desired results. He attends domestic and international conferences to keep up to date with the latest techniques and technology, passionate about providing reliable treatment options.

During a consultation, Dr. Allison will discuss your procedure goals, health history and any lifestyle factors that may impact the treatment. As well as developing a personalised treatment plan, including determining the optimal placement of incisions, he will provide you with personalised aftercare instructions and be able to answer any questions you may have about the procedure. A consultation can also provide you with pricing information, detailing the costs of your personalised treatment.

What to expect  /

Your FaceTite procedure will be performed under local anaesthesia. To begin the procedure, small incisions will be placed in locations that will be determined during your consultation with Dr. Scott Allison.

The FaceTite device delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to subcutaneous tissues. The thermal energy affects adipose tissue, which is then removed using a small cannula. Simultaneously, the thermal energy may influence collagen in surrounding tissues.

Your treatment is personalised to suit your individual needs. You will discuss your procedure steps in detail during your consultation so that you will know what to expect.

Once the small incisions are sutured closed, you will be able to complete your recovery at home. Generally, FaceTite procedures take about 60 minutes, but it will depend on your personalised treatment steps.

Potential outcomes  /

Individual outcomes vary significantly. Some patients may notice skin tightening and improved contours, while others may experience minimal visible change.

When results are achieved, duration varies significantly between individuals, typically 1-3 years. Results are not permanent due to ongoing ageing, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, lifestyle factors, and individual biological variation. The procedure does not stop the ageing process.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue that is removed will not regenerate in the treated area. However, weight gain can affect remaining adipose tissue and overall facial contours.

Recovery guide  /

After your treatment, you may experience minor swelling, typically subsiding within one to two days. Wearing a compression garment aids in faster swelling reduction and promotes skin retraction. Dr. Scott Allison will furnish you with personalised aftercare instructions during your consultation.

Your recovery instructions may include to:

  • Keep incision sites clean to prevent infection
  • Avoid excessive heat exposure
  • Avoid strenuous exercise
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure
  • Stop taking certain medications that can delay healing
  • Quit smoking
  • Avoid alcohol
  • Wear your compression garment as instructed
  • Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling

The duration of recovery will depend on individual factors that can be discussed during your consultation.

FaceTite treatment costs  /

The costs of your FaceTite treatment will depend on factors such as your personalised procedure steps, the condition of your treatment area, anaesthesia fees and the total procedure time.

During your consultation with Dr. Scott Allison, you will be able to discuss the factors that will influence your treatment costs in further detail.

  • Bruising (expected, may be extensive, typically resolves over 1-2 weeks)
  • Discomfort or pain (varies by individual)
  • Temporary numbness or altered sensation

Possible complications:

  • Infection at incision sites
  • Scarring (permanent, though may fade over time)
