FaceTite & BodyTite

FaceTite and BodyTite are designed to be as comfortable as possible, and most patients are pleasantly surprised by how little discomfort they experience during and after treatment. Before the procedure begins, a local anesthetic is applied to numb the treatment area completely. This ensures you won’t feel pain, only a gentle warming sensation as the radiofrequency energy works beneath the skin. After the treatment, it’s normal to experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness, similar to the feeling after a vigorous workout. These side effects are generally mild and resolve within a few days.

Most patients achieve their desired results with just a single treatment session of FaceTite and/or BodyTite, especially when paired with Morpheus8 for enhanced skin rejuvenation. However, every patient’s body is different, and Dr. Macias tailors each treatment plan based on your individual goals, the condition of your skin, and the amount of fat or laxity being addressed.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended in the future to prolong your results, especially as the natural aging process continues.

One of the many advantages of FaceTite and BodyTite is that they offer both immediate and long-term results. You’ll likely notice a visible improvement in skin tightness and contour within the first few days to weeks after your session, especially in areas like the jawline, neck, abdomen, or arms. However, because these treatments stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, your results will continue to improve over the next 3 to 12 months as your skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful in appearance.

The fat reduction component from the radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis also delivers gradual sculpting as the body metabolizes the disrupted fat cells. This natural progression gives your outcome a subtle, elegant refinement without looking overly dramatic.

Yes, combining FaceTite and BodyTite with other procedures is not only possible, it’s often encouraged for optimal, head-to-toe rejuvenation. At Aesthetic MdR, Dr. Macias frequently combines these treatments with Morpheus8, a fractional radiofrequency microneedling device that improves skin tone, texture, and tightness. Patients can also pair these treatments with injectables, such as dermal fillers or Botox, which help restore facial volume and smooth dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a more balanced and refreshed appearance. For those considering a more comprehensive transformation, FaceTite and BodyTite can also be used in tandem with procedures like fat grafting, non-surgical rhinoplasty, or even breast or body surgery in staged treatments.

While FaceTite and BodyTite are considered extremely safe and FDA-approved, as with any cosmetic procedure, potential risks are associated with them. That’s why it’s crucial to undergo treatment with a board-certified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Luis Macias in Marina del Rey, who has extensive training in facial and body contouring and a deep understanding of the anatomy involved. Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or soreness at the treatment site. In rare cases, patients may experience uneven results, minor burns, changes in skin sensation, or prolonged swelling.
