Treatment Overview
FaceTite RF is a minimally invasive skin tightening and contouring treatment offered in Korean dermatology and plastic surgery clinics. It uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to deliver controlled RF energy beneath the skin, simultaneously melting small fat deposits and stimulating collagen production.
FaceTite is often described as a “non-surgical facelift alternative”, as it addresses both skin sagging and volume imbalance in the lower face and jawline. It is especially popular in Korea for patients who want visible lifting and tightening without undergoing a surgical facelift.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Sagging Skin family (Ulthera HIFU, Shurink, Dermal Thread Lifting, Exosome Therapy, Air Jet Lifting, Chin Filler Contouring):
- FaceTite RF: Best for tightening + fat reduction + contouring.
- Ulthera/Shurink: Best for deep collagen tightening (non-invasive).
- Dermal Thread Lifting: Best for instant lifting effect.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for regeneration + elasticity.
- Chin Filler Contouring: Best for balancing facial harmony.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening: RF energy stimulates collagen and elastin remodeling.
- Sagging Reduction: Improves jowls, jawline, and lower face drooping.
- Fat Contouring: Melts small fat deposits while tightening skin.
- Facial Sculpting: Defines jawline and contours cheeks for a slimmer appearance.
- Wrinkle Improvement: Smooths skin surface by tightening dermal layers.
- Long-Lasting Effect: Results can last longer than other non-invasive tightening options.
- Synergy with Other Treatments: Often combined with HIFU, threads, or exosomes for enhanced results.
Ideal Candidates
FaceTite RF in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 30s–60s with moderate sagging skin and mild fat deposits.
- Patients with jowls, double chin, or drooping lower face contour.
- Those who want non-surgical facelift effects with stronger tightening than HIFU.
- Men and women comparing treatments:
- FaceTite RF: Best for sagging + fat reduction + contouring.
- Ulthera/Shurink: Best for collagen tightening without fat reduction.
- Thread Lifting: Best for instant visible lift.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for cellular repair + elasticity.
- Chin Filler: Best for structural support + V-line shaping.
Possible Risks & Complications
FaceTite RF is safe in experienced Korean clinics, but mild side effects may occur:
- Swelling or Redness: Common, lasts 2–5 days.
- Tenderness or Bruising: Temporary at treated areas.
- Mild Numbness: May occur but resolves in days to weeks.
- Rare Risks: Burns or uneven results (minimized with skilled doctors).
Surgical Techniques Used
While minimally invasive, FaceTite RF requires expertise:
- RFAL Technology: RF energy applied beneath skin to tighten and reduce fat.
- Micro-Cannula Insertion: A fine probe delivers energy under the skin.
- Dual Action: Collagen stimulation + fat contouring simultaneously.
- Targeted Areas: Jawline, chin, lower face, and neck.
- Single-Session Protocol: Often performed once, with results lasting over a year.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Swelling, redness, or mild tenderness.
- 1–5 Days: Bruising subsides; skin feels tighter.
- 2–4 Weeks: Sagging reduces, contours sharpen.
- 3–6 Months: Collagen stimulation continues for stronger lift.
- Maintenance: Typically 12–18 months between treatments.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
- Apply cold compress if swelling occurs.
- Use SPF 50+ daily.
- Avoid alcohol, saunas, or strenuous activity for 1 week.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Subtle contouring and firmness.
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Reduced sagging, tighter jawline.
- Medium-Term (3–6 Months): Continued collagen remodeling enhances lift.
- Long-Term: Results last 12–18 months, with extended benefits if maintained.
