Facial Skin Tightening

In the world of facial aesthetics, one of the most common concerns is facial skin laxity. As we age, gravity continually pulls down on our skin, and over time, the collagen and elastin fibers that hold our skin together begin to break down and lose elasticity. This laxity of the skin is very often the root cause of what we see as visible signs of aging.

There are many ways of dealing with skin laxity, the most obvious being excisional surgeries, such as a face lift. While face and neck lifts are certainly effective in severe cases, most patients are hesitant to go under the knife due to high costs, long and painful recovery times, and risks associated with anesthesia. In fact, the volume of plastic surgery cases in the past five years has slowed considerably, with patients largely favoring non-surgical options for tightening loose skin.

Hartwater Aesthetics utilizes the most advanced skin tightening technologies available to deliver patients surgical-like results without the pain, downtime, and cost of surgery. These options range from minimally invasive in-office procedures to micro-invasive and non-invasive treatments. Our providers work with patients to develop a treatment plan that aligns with their individual needs and goals and will ultimately produce the most effective result.

FaceTite gently treats fat in stubborn areas while tightening the skin, helping you sculpt your face and body into its ultimate shape. The procedure is an exceptional solution for individuals who are looking to reduce fat without the saggy, wrinkly skin. It also helps improve skin laxity after weight loss or due to aging.

FaceTite results can be seen immediately, with best results noticeable after 6 weeks, and continuing to improve to 12 months. Depending on the treatment area, downtime can be from 1-2 days up to 10 days.

FaceTite is the leading non-excisional option for facial skin tightening, offered by top plastic surgeons around the world for dramatically tightening skin and remodeling tissue on the face and neck without undergoing surgery. FaceTite is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure that does not require patients to go under anesthesia. It is also non-excisional, which avoids large visible scarring and extensive downtime.

Using radiofrequency thermal energy applied underneath the skin, FaceTite shapes, contracts and lifts the tissue, leaving patients with surgical-like results without prolonged downtime or scarring. It utilizes RFAL (Radio- Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) technology that addresses some of the shortcomings associated with traditional liposuction or surgical body lifts.

For patients interested in tightening loose skin with a less invasive procedure, Morpheus8 offers the very best alternative for facial skin tightening. Morpheus8 is a safe and effective micro-invasive fractional rejuvenation treatment that remodels adipose tissue to tighten skin laxity, dramatically reduce wrinkles, and improve skin texture.

Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more radiant youthful appearance. Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face, periorbital area, abdomen, thighs, legs, and buttocks.

One of the most popular aesthetic treatments across the country, Morpheus8 was ranked on RealSelf as DFW’s #1 trending aesthetic procedure in 2021.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE RECOMMENDED?

Your practitioner will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF FRACTIONATED ENERGY?

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method to remodel and rebuild collagen. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.

CAN ANYONE USE MORPHEUS8?

The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated. CAN THIS BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER TREATMENTS? Yes, Morpheus8 can be used in the same treatment session, or a few days after other treatments. Morpheus8 can also be combined with other lnMode energy treatments or injectables to achieve more extensive results.

WHEN CAN I PUT MAKE-UP ON AFTER TREATMENT?

Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 1 to 2 days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness depending on treatment parameters.

WHAT KIND OF POST PROCEDURE CARE IS REQUIRED?

Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing the risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also slow the aging process.

If you are interested in facial skin tightening but are unsure which procedure is right for you, schedule a consultation to speak with a provider about a customized treatment plan.
