Restore Youth to Your Face
At Willis Cosmetic Surgery, you can restore your youthful appearance with our specialized combination of FaceTite and EmpowerRF procedures. This unique approach means Dr. Willis gives you the best results to reach your goals.
What Is FaceTite & EmbraceRF Facial Contouring?
FaceTite is a minimally invasive contouring procedure using radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL). It is an effective non-surgical alternative to traditional neck and facelifts and provides dramatically shorter recovery times.
The FaceTite procedure requires just a few small incisions to insert a small, handheld radiofrequency device.
This device uses thermal energy to liquefy fat cells and stimulate collagen production. Then, broken-down fat cells are suctioned out while the skin tightens at the same time, leaving a more defined facial contour.
Defining Your Face With Precision
FaceTite is FDA-approved and extremely effective for getting a more defined facial contour. It can treat areas with deep lines and loose skin anywhere above the shoulders, but it is usually recommended for tightening the chin, jowls, cheeks, neck, eyes, mouth, brow, forehead, or jawline.
EmbraceRF combines FaceTite facial contouring and the Morpheus8 Microneedle to deliver the most advanced non-surgical neck & facelift available.
While FaceTite is incredible for dramatic changes in facial contour, its effects are even more impressive when combined with the Morpheus8 Microneedle. The Morpheus8 is a fractional treatment, meaning it’s able to make small, detailed skin-tightening changes based on your unique needs.
Why FaceTite at Willis Cosmetic Surgery?
As we age, our skin naturally begins to lose its elasticity. This is because we lose collagen in our skin as we get older, which provides structure and firmness to our skin. Eventually, this loss of collagen and elasticity results in jowls on the lower face, deep wrinkles, and loose skin on the neck.
Unfortunately, many people who want to improve these signs of aging find that non-surgical options like fillers aren’t enough. Historically, even non-surgical facelifts haven’t been able to match the results of a traditional facelift. But then, people are rightly reluctant to get a facelift because of the risks involved.
That’s where EmbraceRF comes in. The procedure provides a dramatic improvement in skin firmness on the face and neck, which was previously only possible through a surgical procedure like a lower neck and facelift.
Superior Results, Less Down Time
If you’re one of the many people who want the dramatic results of a facelift without having to undergo invasive surgery, EmbraceRF comes very close to the outcome of a facelift. It is the perfect treatment for patients looking for a more defined facial contour.
Suppose you’ve begun to notice some lower facial sagging, a double chin, loss of jawline contour, jowls, and marionette lines. In that case, Dr. Zachary Willis at Willis Cosmetic Surgery provides EmbraceRF to help target these common signs of aging. EmbraceRF can provide significant improvements to your face contour in just one treatment.
Choosing EmbraceRF
EmbraceRF with Morpheus8 may be an excellent option to consider if you feel that:
- The way your face and neck look due to sagging skin has damaged your confidence.
- Your face makes you look much older than you feel.
- An aging appearance is negatively affecting your career or personal relationships.
- You’re not quite ready for a surgical facelift but need something more than fillers can offer.
- You want a procedure that will produce minimal scarring and very little recovery time.
Benefits of Choosing FaceTite for Chin Lipo
For young women interested in chin liposuction, FaceTite at Willis Cosmetic Surgery offers an ideal solution by combining fat reduction with skin tightening in one minimally invasive procedure.
This dual-action approach not only removes excess fat but also tightens the skin, preventing any sagging that can sometimes occur after lipo alone.
With FaceTite, you'll achieve a more defined, contoured jawline and smoother skin, all with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
VASER Liposuction + FaceTite
Dr. Willis combines VASER liposuction with FaceTite to offer a cutting-edge facial contouring solution that addresses both excess fat and skin laxity. This advanced dual-modality approach leverages the strengths of each technology to enhance facial features, offering patients more refined, youthful results—particularly suited for those who are concerned with both localized fat and loose skin around the face and neck.
VASER Liposuction is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to gently break down and liquefy fat cells, allowing for their precise removal. This method is ideal for targeting stubborn fat deposits in delicate areas, such as under the chin or along the jawline, delivering smoother results compared to traditional liposuction.
Moreover, VASER Liposuction preserves the integrity of surrounding tissues, including nerves and blood vessels, which leads to less discomfort and faster recovery times—especially important in facial procedures.
How It Works
After performing VASER Liposuction, Dr. Willis enhances the results by applying FaceTite technology. FaceTite utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to achieve significant skin tightening, which is critical in maintaining a firm, youthful appearance following fat removal.
During the FaceTite process, controlled radiofrequency energy heats the collagen fibers beneath the skin’s surface. This thermal energy causes the skin to contract, tighten, and conform beautifully to the newly contoured facial areas. This is especially beneficial for skin sagging in areas like the lower face, jawline, and neck, as it eliminates the need for more invasive surgical procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift.
The Benefits of Combining Treatments
The combination of VASER Liposuction and FaceTite provides a comprehensive facial rejuvenation option with minimal scarring and downtime. You’ll benefit from the precise fat removal achieved through VASER, along with the skin-firming effects of FaceTite. This dual-action treatment ensures both fat and skin are addressed in a single, minimally invasive procedure, delivering natural-looking, long-lasting results.
This combination is particularly well-suited for areas such as the chin, jawline, and neck—places where unwanted fat and loose skin tend to accumulate. Dr. Willis' expertise in utilizing these technologies together gives you a more defined, sculpted facial profile with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
What Results to Expect With FaceTite
Though this treatment tightens loose skin over three to four months after the procedure, you should see visibly firmer skin and a more defined facial contour in just one week (and sometimes immediately).
Within just six weeks, 70% of results appear. The best results are noticeable after six months and will continue to improve for up to a year after treatment.
One of the main benefits of EmbraceRF is that it penetrates more deeply into the skin than other energy treatments. Though its skin-tightening effects are FDA-approved to last one year, many patients report results lasting up to five years.
After those five years, It’s important to note that you will not just go back to the way you looked before. More than likely you will see a gradual reduction in skin tightness over time as you lose collagen naturally with age.
Luckily, lifestyle choices such as using sunscreen daily, hydrating, adopting a good skincare regimen, and abstaining from smoking will help your results last as long as possible.
Because EmbraceRF is minimally invasive, downtime is normally just three or four days. Traditional facelifts, laser treatments, and liposuction require much more time for recovery.
