FaceTite
FaceTite is a non-invasive skin contouring treatment platform that uses radiofrequency energy to restore the skin’s elasticity and plump, healthy structure. Unlike many mainstream facial surgery approaches, this anti-aging treatment utilizes very small incisions, minimizing downtime, scarring, and post-treatment discomfort. FaceTite treats multiple underlying causes contributing to aging processes, including collagen activity decline, changes in fatty tissue, and more, to yield natural-looking and long-lasting results.
How Does FaceTite Work?
FaceTite uses radiofrequency energy to destroy fat cells and stimulate the contraction of collagen fibers beneath the skin, a dual benefit that tightens the skin and contours the face for a more youthful appearance.
Specifically, this treatment uses a fine needle called a cannula and an electrode (handpiece) to apply radiofrequency energy to the targeted tissues. The cannula is inserted underneath the skin, and the handpiece is applied on top of the skin, receiving the radiofrequency energy from the cannula.
Benefits and Applications
Collagen Boosting
The scaffolding of the skin, collagen is a vitally important protein when it comes to decreasing signs of aging. Collagen production naturally begins to decline as soon as the late 20s and early 30s. By boosting collagen activity, FaceTite helps the skin restore its firmness and elasticity. When collagen is stimulated, it tightens and firms up the skin.
Long-Lasting and Natural Results
A major advantage to boosting collagen activity is the ongoing nature of this process. As more collagen is produced in the months following your FaceTite treatment, the condition of the skin will continue to improve.
Treats Both Face and Neck
FaceTite treats a wide range of common skin concerns affecting different areas of the face and neck, including eyelids and brows, the forehead, under the chin, jowls, cheeks, and more. Our physician-led team will customize your treatment to deliver the results you need exactly where you need them, all while retaining a natural-looking aesthetic.
Minimally Invasive Approach
FaceTite offers a less invasive alternative to a traditional facelift, with little compromise in terms of quality. Smaller incisions mean less scarring, reduced chances of complications, and a smoother post-treatment recovery window. We are here to support you both during and after the treatment experience, including providing post-treatment instructions to make your recovery even smoother.
The Facetite Treatment Process
The first step in the treatment process is to ensure that you are comfortably positioned, and that the treatment area is prepared for the procedure. This entails applying local anesthesia to the area.
After the area is anesthetized, a small incision is made in the skin to allow for the insertion of the cannula. The cannula is inserted just beneath the skin, where it heats the tissues to stimulate several key processes, including collagen activation and destruction of fat cells. This allows for immediately noticeable results that improve over time.
Downtime and Recovery
Unlike a traditional facelift or other more invasive alternatives, FaceTite comes with a very short downtime period. Within a week, patients are typically able to return to their full schedule. In addition to being shorter, the recovery period is more comfortable and less complicated than that of more invasive procedures. Our team at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery and Longevity Center will provide you with individualized post-treatment guidelines to ensure you have everything you need for a safe and expedient recovery.
MyEllevate
Where FaceTite offers a less invasive alternative to traditional face lifts, MyEllevate offers a less invasive alternative to traditional neck lifts. This procedure targets the jawline, chin, and neck areas to lift and tighten the skin for a refreshed and healthy appearance, all without relying on incisions.
How Does MyEllevate Work?
MyEllevate takes advantage of an innovative suturing technique that allows us to lift and tighten the soft tissues of the neck. In this procedure, we use a network of tiny sutures to create a suspension system that tightens loose skin and increases jawline and neck definition without leaving unsightly scars. This procedure is a favorite among patients looking to address double chin and excess skin with less hassle and downtime.
Benefits and Applications
Less Invasive Approach
Smaller suture size means less discomfort, downtime, and potential for complications, while still offering a highly effective option for treating multiple areas of the neck, jawline, and chin.
Effortlessly Natural-Looking Results
Both neck and facial rejuvenation require a balanced approach in order to avoid an artificial-looking end result. Thankfully, MyEllevate is more than subtle enough to provide natural-looking results while still outperforming most minimally invasive options.
High Staying Power
Especially when well-maintained with diligent skin care and general wellness practices, the results of MyEllevate treatment can last for several years. Each patient’s experience is unique, including how (and when) the body manifests signs of aging, but MyEllevate can significantly offset these issues before they worsen.
Treatment Process
First, local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area. Then, light-guided sutures (the ICLED system) are gently moved through the skin, forming a network. Finally, the sutures are lifted, effectively lifting and tightening the soft tissues of the neck. MyEllevate treatment typically takes an hour or less to complete.
Downtime and Recovery
Thanks to the minimally invasive nature of this treatment, patients enjoy little to no full-on downtime or discomfort. The majority of patients are able to return to work almost immediately, and typically experience very little bruising or swelling. To ensure a safe and expedient recovery, our team will issue post-treatment instructions, including providing you with a chin strap to support the area.
Zoom Lift
Though the terms are often used interchangeably, Zoom Lift and MyEllevate are technically not the same treatment. A Zoom Lift combines MyEllevate and FaceTite to more comprehensively rejuvenate both the face and neck. It is called the Zoom Lift for its ability to improve the areas most visible on screen during Zoom video calls.
Benefits and Applications
Two Procedures, One Recovery
The Zoom Lift delivers twice the coverage and benefits without requiring multiple recovery periods.
Minimal Downtime
Even when combined, the two procedures involved in MyEllevate treatment are associated with very little downtime, requiring just a few days of rest before a full return to your regular schedule.
Fast-Acting and Long-Lasting Results
The effects of a Zoom Lift are noticeable immediately, and can last upwards of seven years depending on several factors, including your skin care and wellness routine, age, and more.
EmbraceRF
Finally, EmbraceRF combines Morpheus8 and FaceTite treatments to encourage both fat reduction and skin tightening for a powerful end result. The radiofrequency energy eliminates fat cells, while the microneedling component from Morpheus8 encourages skin tightening and other key healing processes.
How Does EmbraceRF Work?
A small probe is inserted beneath the skin, where it emits radiofrequency energy to heat the surrounding tissues and destroy stubborn fat cells—this is the FaceTite treatment at work. In addition, Morpheus8 stimulates key healing processes. Morpheus8 is a microneedling treatment, which involves making hundreds of “micro-injuries” in the skin using very fine needles. The skin responds by producing collagen and elastin, which in turn helps to tighten the skin, among several other key benefits.
Benefits and Applications
Enhanced Contouring
Combining the skin tightening action of Morpheus8 with the fat-reduction action of FaceTite makes for a very powerful aesthetic overhaul, allowing us to deliver more customizable, powerful results that leave you with a naturally defined look.
Immediate Results That Improve Over Time
In addition to the immediately apparent effects of EmbraceRF treatment, you’ll notice improved results over the several months following your last session. This is because collagen fibers continue to mature after they are stimulated, further supporting the skin’s plump, healthy structure as time goes on.
Minimally Invasive Approach
The incision required for EmbraceRF treatment is very small, and this procedure has very little downtime. The majority of patients are able to return to their full schedule within just two to three days.
Treats Many Signs of Aging
EmbraceRF is a highly comprehensive facial cosmetic procedure, with applications in fat reduction, skin tightening, fine line reduction, improving skin texture, and more.
Treatment Process
The first step in EmbraceRF treatment is to prepare the area to be treated with a local anesthetic. When you’re ready to begin, the fine cannula is inserted under the skin through a very small incision. The cannula will then give off radiofrequency energy, eliminating fat cells and heating the surrounding tissues.
As this is happening, the Morpheus8 microneedling handpiece is applied to the surface of the skin. Most treatment sessions take around 45 minutes, and you will be able to drive yourself home. We will make sure you are well-equipped with all the post-treatment guidelines you need for a safe and effective recovery.
Downtime and Recovery
The recovery process for EmbraceRF treatment is short-lived and straightforward. We will instruct you on how to manage any mild redness or swelling you experience, as well as activity modification, makeup tips, and more to get you through the process safely and comfortably. As mentioned, EmbraceRF only requires 2-3 days of downtime before you can return to your full schedule, though you may be recommended to avoid certain activities for a slightly longer period of time.
How to Know Which Treatment Is Right for You
Taking into account the overlap between these procedures in many key areas, including downtime and benefits, the best way to determine which option is best for you is to schedule a consultation with a reputable provider. This will allow you to align your unique circumstances, including your skin concerns, with the most effective and economical option for you.
