Rf Treatments For Sleeker Contours In Los Angeles
Loose skin and stubborn fat can prevent a slim and trim look, even in people who are not generally overweight. At The Med Spa at The Practice, we have three radiofrequency energy-based treatments that can help: FaceTite, BodyTite, and AccuTite. Our Los Angeles-based providers use this FDA-cleared technology to stimulate tissue-firming collagen production, contract lax skin, and coagulate fat without traditional surgery.
Patients who want nothing more than a minimally invasive treatment can choose FaceTite or AccuTite alone. Others may combine the slimming effects with a surgical procedure, such as liposuction, to enhance their final results.
Facetite and Accutite Topics on this Page
Facetite Non-Surgical Facelift
FaceTite is a facial contouring procedure that sends radiofrequency energy beneath the skin’s surface to generate a tightening effect, typically on the lower half of the face, such as the jowls, jawline, chin, and neck. Recovery time is much shorter than surgical skin-tightening procedures—usually three to four days of downtime—with no stitches or visible scars. The procedure stimulates collagen over time, but FaceTite patients may see some results within a week or sooner.
Some people feel that minimally invasive three-dimensional remodeling is the next best thing to a facelift. However, while FaceTite® can deliver beautiful results, it cannot replicate the long-lasting and more dramatic results of surgery.
The Facetite Procedure
During your FaceTite procedure your plastic surgeon will begin by applying a local anesthetic to the treatment area. A small incision will then be made, allowing the FaceTite handpiece to deliver RF energy. This energy simultaneously liquefies fat cells and tightens the skin’s layers for optimal results.
Facetite Recovery
During your recovery after FaceTite, it’s normal to experience mild bruising, swelling, numbness, and tenderness in the treated areas. Most patients can expect to return to work in about three days.
Accutite Precision Contouring
Designed to deliver RF energy to smaller, hard-to-reach areas, AccuTite uses a tiny wand for pinpoint accuracy. It can be used on any area of the face or body with saggy skin or excess fat. Common facial treatments include the brows, areas around the eyes, the region near the mouth and nose (where nasolabial folds form), and the lower face. AccuTite is also commonly applied to the neck, underarms, upper arms, abdomen (for sculpting the appearance of abs), inner thighs, and knees.
The Accutite Procedure
Like FaceTite, the AccuTite procedure begins with the application of a local anesthetic to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. Then a small incision for the FaceTite device is made to precisely deliver RF energy to the treatment area. The RF energy works by liquifying fat cells and tightening the skin.
Accutite Recovery
Patients can expect to see an immediate improvement following a single AccuTite treatment with up to 26% tissue contraction. There is little discomfort, and regular activities can typically be resumed the following day. Redness and swelling are normal, and will subside gradually.

FAQs About Facetite & Accutite
You may be a good candidate for FaceTite or AccuTite if you have excess fat or sagging or loose skin on the face, neck, and/or body. These procedures offer significant anti-aging, fat elimination, and skin tightening results without the pain or recovery associated with face and body contouring surgeries.
FaceTite can pair with surgical fat reduction on the neck and jowls for radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL), which provides more significant results than either option alone. Our office pairs the FaceTite procedure with Morpheus8 RF microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the epidermis. Many patients choose to enhance their skin tightening treatments with facial fillers to add volume and/or contour to the facial skin.
