What is recovery like after FaceTite?
-
You may experience some bruising and swelling that can be evident for a week or longer, usually peaking three days following the procedure. During recovery, most patients take a few days off of work. Depending on the amount of the work done and the specific patient's treatment plan, some patients may continue to show some bruising for up to two weeks. Patients will be given a compression garment to wear around-the-clock for the first three days and at night for a few weeks in order to accelerate recovery. This will provide the skin extra support to maximize results during healing. Some patients will take Arnica, an over the counter medication, to help with bruising prior to and after the procedure.

How long do FaceTite results last?
-
The fact that this treatment penetrates deeper than conventional RF and ultrasonic energy therapies is one of its key advantages. Although the FDA has given approval of its tightening effects one-year, many doctors and patients say that results can remain for up to five years. The length of time your results remain will be most heavily influenced by your lifestyle decisions, including how often you use sunscreen, if you follow a decent skin care routine, and refraining from smoking. Genetic predisposition to the aging process and baseline collagen/elastin levels in the skin can also affect results following a FaceTite procedure.
-
How many treatments will I need?
-
While many patients are happy with their outcomes after just one FaceTite procedure, some patients may benefit from more if their skin laxity is severe. 90% of our patients only receive one treatment. Our doctors will thoroughly examine your skin, listen to your unique concerns, and recommend a treatment plan that will best suit your needs during your consultation.
-
Do I need liposuction with my FaceTite?
-
Most of our patients choose a combination of liposuction with skin tightening, however some patients are good candidates for only skin tightening. This can be determined at your consultation.
Dr. Schierle and his team were outstanding! From the initial consultation to the final outcome, it was an extremely patient-centric and quality experience. Dr. Schierle listened to and actioned my input and he was very sensitive to my needs. The recovery and results have been amazing. I have already recommended Dr. Schierle and the practice in general to my friends and family. I am 1000% delighted. Thanks to the whole team and especially to Dr. Schierle.”
