Tighten, Lift & Define Without Major Surgery
FaceTite® in Burlington
FaceTite® is a minimally invasive, radiofrequency-assisted contouring treatment that reduces localized fat and tightens skin to improve jawline definition, soften jowls, and firm the lower face and neck. Using targeted RF energy, FaceTite delivers predictable skin contraction and contour improvement with less downtime than a traditional facelift—ideal for patients seeking meaningful, natural-looking results without extensive surgery.
Who this is for
Good candidates are adults with mild-to-moderate skin laxity, early jowling, or localized subcutaneous fat who want visible contouring but prefer a less invasive option than a surgical facelift. AccuTite may be recommended for very small, delicate areas (periorbital, nasolabial crease) while FaceTite addresses broader lower-face and neck zones.
What to expect
A consultation determines candidacy and a tailored plan. The in-clinic procedure typically takes 30–90 minutes depending on treatment area and may use local anaesthetic with sedation if needed. Expect swelling and mild bruising for several days; most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks, with progressive tightening over 3–6 months as tissue remodels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions we hear about FaceTite® in Burlington
What is FaceTite® (and AccuTite®)?
FaceTite® is a minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted contouring (RFAL) treatment that tightens skin and reduces localized fat. AccuTite® is the same RF technology in a smaller handpiece for very small, delicate areas (periorbital, nasolabial fold, etc.).
How does FaceTite / RFAL work?
A dual-electrode system delivers controlled radiofrequency energy beneath and above the skin. That energy melts small pockets of fat and heats the dermis, stimulating immediate contraction and long-term collagen remodeling for firmer contours.
Who is a good candidate for FaceTite?
Ideal candidates are adults with mild-to-moderate skin laxity (early jowling, soft jawline, submental fullness) who want noticeable contouring without a full surgical facelift. A consultation in Burlington determines candidacy and expectations.
What happens during the procedure (time & anaesthesia)?
Treatment is performed in-clinic and typically takes 30–90 minutes depending on the area. Local anaesthetic with optional light sedation is commonly used so patients are comfortable throughout.
What is the recovery and downtime?
Expect some swelling, bruising, and tightness for several days; most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. Final skin tightening evolves over 3–6 months as collagen remodels.
Are FaceTite results immediate and how long do they last?
You’ll notice immediate improvement from tissue contraction, with progressive tightening over months. Results are long-lasting but not “permanent” — aging continues, and maintenance or complementary treatments can prolong the effect.
Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimized with local anaesthetic and optional sedation. Most patients report manageable soreness afterward that is controlled with common analgesics and proper aftercare.
What are the risks and side effects?
Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising, numbness, and mild tightness. Less common risks include infection, contour irregularity, burns (rare with experienced providers), or prolonged numbness. Choosing a board-supervised, experienced team reduces risk.
How does FaceTite compare to a surgical facelift?
FaceTite offers meaningful lift and skin contraction with smaller incisions and shorter downtime than a surgical facelift. However, a traditional facelift can provide more dramatic repositioning for advanced laxity—your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your anatomy and goals.
Can FaceTite be combined with other treatments?
Yes — FaceTite is often combined with neck liposuction, fat reduction, or injectable treatments (fillers, neuromodulators) to optimize contour and harmony. A tailored treatment plan in consultation will outline safe sequencing and combination options.
