A softening jawline, early jowls, fullness beneath the chin, and loose neck skin can change the entire lower face. Creams cannot reposition deeper tissue, and repeated surface treatments may not create enough contraction for someone who wants a visible contour change. FaceTite fills an important space between noninvasive treatments and a traditional facelift.
FaceTite is especially exciting because it’s a one-time treatment, not a monthly series. Using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis, Paul L. Hester, MD, MBA, can address selected fat and skin laxity beneath the surface through small entry points. Results develop gradually as swelling settles and collagen remodeling continues.
It is also one of Be Medispa’s most popular treatments this time of year. Many patients use fall and winter to complete the procedure, move through the initial recovery, and allow their contours to develop ahead of spring and summer plans.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis procedure, often shortened to RFAL. A slender internal probe travels beneath the skin while an external electrode remains above it. Radiofrequency energy passes between the two, heating targeted soft tissue in a controlled way.
This approach can serve two purposes during the same procedure. It may coagulate selected fat beneath the chin or along the lower face and create controlled heating that supports soft-tissue contraction and collagen remodeling. Built-in temperature monitoring and energy controls help the physician manage heat delivery, but safe treatment still depends on patient selection, anatomy, technique, and postoperative care.
Unlike treatments scheduled as a series, FaceTite is generally done in a single session. That makes it especially appealing to patients who want a meaningful lower-face and neck change without building a plan around several procedure appointments.
One-time does not mean instant. Some contour improvement may be visible after the initial swelling decreases, while tissue contraction and collagen remodeling continue over the following months. The treated fat cells do not regenerate, but remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain, and the face continues to age naturally. Stable weight, sun protection, skincare, and appropriate maintenance treatments can help protect the investment.
Fall and winter give patients time to complete this one-time treatment, wear compression during early recovery, and let swelling settle before spring events and travel. FaceTite is one of Be Medispa’s most requested treatments this time of year because the timing works well for patients who want results to develop quietly over the coming months.
FaceTite is most often considered for the lower face and neck when the concern involves both contour and skin laxity.
Age alone does not determine the strongest candidate. Skin quality, amount and location of fat, muscle anatomy, previous procedures, health history, and expectations all matter. Someone with advanced laxity or significant neck-band concerns may receive a more predictable result from surgery. A responsible consultation should include that conversation.
FaceTite works beneath the skin to address deeper soft tissue, while Morpheus8 RF microneedling can address selected skin-quality and texture concerns at adjustable depths. Dr. Hester may recommend combining them during one treatment plan when deeper contouring and surface-level remodeling both matter.
FaceTite does not reproduce every result possible with a facelift. Surgery physically repositions and removes tissue and remains appropriate for more advanced aging. FaceTite may suit a patient with mild to moderate laxity who wants a meaningful change through smaller entry points and a different recovery profile.
Dr. Hester evaluates the jawline, jowls, neck, submental area, skin quality, fat distribution, and underlying anatomy. Your health history, medications, previous treatments, healing history, and goals help determine if FaceTite is appropriate. The plan should also clarify which concerns will improve and which may require another approach.
FaceTite is performed using local anesthesia and comfort measures selected for the patient. Small entry points allow the internal probe to reach the planned tissue layer. Dr. Hester monitors the external and internal electrodes as energy is delivered across the treatment area. The procedure time varies with the areas treated and any combined treatment.
Swelling, bruising, tenderness, temporary firmness, and numbness can occur. A compression garment is commonly worn as directed to support the area while it heals. Many patients plan approximately a week away from prominent social events, although visible swelling and bruising can last longer. Resume exercise and other activities according to the physician’s instructions.
Contact the medical team immediately for worsening pain, increasing redness or warmth, drainage, fever, blistering, significant asymmetry, shortness of breath, or another unexpected symptom. Follow-up visits are part of the procedure and allow the team to monitor healing.
FaceTite results are progressive. Early definition becomes easier to see as swelling resolves, and improvement can continue for approximately six months as collagen remodeling develops. Individual outcomes depend on anatomy, treatment plan, healing, weight stability, and natural aging.
People searching for the best medispa Lexington has to offer should look beyond the fact that a practice owns the technology. FaceTite is performed beneath the skin near important facial and neck structures. Ask who performs the procedure, how often they perform it, what training they have, how they evaluate anatomy, and who manages follow-up.
A search for “Be Medispa best medspa” may introduce patients to the practice, but Dr. Hester’s experience gives that phrase substance. Paul L. Hester, MD, MBA, is an InMode trainer for FaceTite and BodyTite, has received national awards for his work with FaceTite, and teaches other providers about energy-assisted contouring techniques.
Be Medispa is an award-winning medispa that has served Lexington since 2004. FaceTite patients receive physician-led planning, an anatomy-based treatment, detailed recovery instructions, and direct follow-up in a medical setting.
Yes. FaceTite is generally planned as one procedure rather than a series. Results continue developing over several months. Natural aging continues, so a patient may choose skincare or other maintenance treatments later, but repeating FaceTite on a routine monthly or annual schedule is not standard.
Many patients reserve about a week before important social plans. Swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness, or firmness may last longer. Recovery varies with the extent of treatment, combination procedures, and individual healing.
FaceTite can be performed with local anesthesia and selected comfort measures. Your medical evaluation and treatment plan determine the approach used.
The procedure uses small access points rather than facelift-length incisions. These marks generally fade as healing progresses, but no procedure can promise invisible marks or scar-free healing.
FaceTite may address selected submental fat while supporting skin contraction. It is not intended for significant weight loss, and providers must evaluate the cause of fullness because anatomy, muscle position, glands, and skin laxity can all affect the profile.
Many patients prefer fall and winter because they can plan the one-time procedure and allow several months for swelling to resolve and collagen remodeling to develop before spring and summer events.
Compare the treating physician’s experience, procedural volume, anatomy knowledge, training role, before-and-after results, safety protocols, and access to follow-up. Awards support Be Medispa’s reputation, but Dr. Hester’s direct involvement in evaluation, treatment, and recovery matters most for FaceTite patients.
Your consultation with Paul L. Hester, MD, MBA begins with an evaluation of your jawline, jowls, under-chin area, and neck to determine if FaceTite can create the level of change you want. You will leave with a clear understanding of the procedure, recovery, expected results, and a treatment plan built around your anatomy.
