Facetite in New Orleans
Individuals who need to tighten facial skin but are not ready for a facelift may consider the minimally invasive treatment, FaceTite. This procedure uses radiofrequency technology to deliver results often associated with a mini-facelift—without incisions, sutures, or the risk of scarring.
At the New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, we offer this revolutionary treatment to rejuvenate skin tone and texture in just one session. With FaceTite, you can take years off your face and neck with minimal downtime and discomfort.
What Is Facetite?
Genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors like sun exposure can take a severe toll on our skin health, especially around the face, neck, and chin. These effects may also contribute to a facial appearance that is older than you feel. Although surgical solutions are available to resolve these cosmetic concerns, many patients are not ready for surgery just yet. Here is where FaceTite may be the right fit for your aesthetic goals.
This groundbreaking technology tightens skin through radiofrequency energy that penetrates below the skin surface deep into the dermis. We perform Facetite under a local anesthetic. The procedure is painless as the hand-held attachment emits radiofrequency through an internal electrode. With no incisions and only tiny pins penetrating the skin surface, the wounds heal in a matter of days.
Each session duration is under an hour, delivering instant visible improvement which continues for three to eight weeks. This continuous enhancement is possible because collagen regeneration is sustained for several weeks. The procedure is designed for target areas above the shoulders, improving texture in the following recommended sites:
- Cheeks
- Neck
- Jawline
- Forehead
- Mouth
- Eyes
Is Facetite Safe?
There are few procedures in cosmetic medicine as safe and efficient as FaceTite. It allows our patients to avoid the risks and potential complications associated with more invasive surgical procedures, including adverse anesthesia reactions, extended healing periods, and repositioning of underlying tissues. Patients can enjoy natural results that enhance their beauty without these risks. The technology is proven safe, as it uses the same radiofrequency found in Thermage, MRIs, and other medical treatments that have been safely administered for years.
FaceTite was created to treat delicate skin without causing cellular damage to adjacent tissue. The device is fully equipped with safeguards, including thermal controls on the applicator.
Meet The Surgeons

Facetite Recovery
Because FaceTite requires only a tiny needle to deliver heat energy deep into the underlying tissue, the recovery period is short. Most patients experience only mild swelling and tenderness for a few days and are back to work within a week.
Facetite Value
Although this skin-tightening treatment is relatively new (introduced in 2011), FaceTite reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Most patients notice a 40% improvement in skin tightness soon after the procedure.
In one FaceTite trial involving ten patients aged 45–66, tightening of the cheeks, jawline, and neck was evident in every participant. Each patient reported significant improvement in skin flexibility. None experienced severe complications, and all were satisfied with the degree of tightening achieved. FaceTite can take five to seven years off your facial appearance after just one session.
FaceTite tightens and restores sagging areas of the skin, resulting in a toned, youthful appearance across the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and other target areas. The radiofrequency technology offers additional benefits, including minimal discomfort, short treatment duration, and quick recovery. Clinical trials and patient reports suggest that FaceTite results are equivalent to those of a mini facelift and can last up to five years.
Facetite Cost
FaceTite prices depend on multiple factors, including the type and severity of loose skin and the number of treatment sites. However, the cost typically ranges 30–50% lower than that of surgery.

Facetite FAQs in New Orleans
Is there swelling after FaceTite?
Yes. Patients may experience mild inflammation after FaceTite, lasting approximately seven days. The swelling typically subsides on its own but may be accompanied by bruising and redness.
Is nerve damage possible?
FaceTite does penetrate the skin surface, which theoretically carries a risk of nerve damage; however, this complication has never been reported. When administered by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon, the risk of nerve damage, as well as other complications, is minimal. If bruising occurs, there may be some temporary numbness, which typically resolves within about one month.
How long does FaceTite last?
FaceTite results typically last for approximately five years, similar to a mini facelift. Afterward, the skin will continue to age naturally. Lifestyle habits, such as smoking, may affect the longevity of the results.
What are the target areas for FaceTite?
Any area above the shoulders—including the neck, jowls, cheeks, forehead, and nasolabial folds—is suitable for FaceTite treatments.
Is FaceTite painful?
No. We administer local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Since the procedure can be performed without general anesthesia, no overnight stay or prolonged recovery is necessary.
