If you’re not ready for a surgical facelift but want tighter, smoother skin, FaceTite offers a minimally invasive alternative with impressive longevity. This innovative treatment uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to contract collagen, melt small fat pockets, and firm lax skin—all without incisions or general anesthesia.
Here’s what determines how long your FaceTite results last and how to make them last even longer.
How Long Do FaceTite Results Last?
While the FDA officially recognizes FaceTite results for about one year, many patients continue to enjoy improvements for three to five years or more. The longevity depends on your unique skin quality, age, and lifestyle habits.
Unlike fillers or neuromodulators, FaceTite doesn’t “wear off” in the same way—it stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, meaning you continue to see progressive improvement for months after the treatment. Over time, normal aging continues, but you’ll still appear younger than if you hadn’t had the procedure at all.
Patients who maintain healthy habits—such as consistent sunscreen use, a nutritious diet, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking, and using medical-grade skincare—typically see the most long-lasting outcomes. Many choose to repeat FaceTite every few years to maintain optimal tightness as their skin naturally changes.
How to Maintain and Extend Your FaceTite Results
While FaceTite provides long-lasting rejuvenation, proper maintenance can help extend your results for years. Here are the best ways to protect and preserve your tighter, smoother skin:
- Commit to sun protection: Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher prevents collagen breakdown and protects newly treated skin from UV damage.
- Maintain a consistent skincare routine: Incorporate products with ingredients like retinol, peptides, and antioxidants to support collagen health and keep skin firm.
- Stay hydrated and eat well: A balanced diet rich in lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats nourishes your skin from within.
- Avoid smoking: Nicotine restricts blood flow and accelerates skin laxity, shortening the lifespan of your results.
- Schedule touch-ups as needed: Annual or biennial maintenance with complementary treatments such as Morpheus8, RF microneedling, or laser resurfacing can enhance collagen renewal and prolong your lift.
Prioritize sleep and stress management: Restful sleep and stress reduction aid in cellular repair, helping maintain elasticity over time.
By caring for your skin and protecting your collagen investment, you’ll enjoy the benefits of your FaceTite treatment for the long term.
Why Patients Love FaceTite
FaceTite offers many of the benefits of a facelift—tighter contours, smoother skin, and reduced jowls or neck laxity—without visible scars or extended downtime. It’s ideal for patients who want a noticeable lift but aren’t ready for surgery.
Results build gradually, look natural, and can last for years—making FaceTite one of the most rewarding non-surgical rejuvenation options available today. Call our office today to schedule a consultation.
