When you get older, your skin loses some of its natural elasticity. This can result in a number of unwanted changes to your facial appearance, from sagging skin and jowling to wrinkles and fine lines. While a facelift can address many of these issues, you may desire an option that doesn’t involve surgical intervention, anesthesia, or prolonged downtime. If that’s the case, you may be a candidate for FaceTite®, a minimally invasive treatment that can correct common signs of facial aging. Dr. Brad Gandolfi is a double-board certified plastic surgeon offering FaceTite treatments in New York City.
What is FaceTite?
FaceTite is an FDA-approved treatment that delivers radiofrequency (or RF) energy just below the surface of the skin. RF energy can melt away fat in a targeted and controlled way while also stimulating the production of collagen. When collagen is produced, it tightens the skin from within the dermis.
By reducing unwanted fat and tightening loose, sagging skin, FaceTite can return firmness and form to the jowls, cheeks, neck, eyes, forehead, and other parts of the face.
Who is a Good Candidate?
The best way to determine whether you are eligible for a safe and successful FaceTite treatment is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Gandolfi. During your consultation, Dr. Gandolfi will evaluate your skin, talk with you about your aesthetic goals, and help you determine whether FaceTite or a facelift is better suited for meeting your expectations.
Typically, the best candidates for FaceTite:
- Maintain some skin elasticity but have begun experiencing problems with laxity or sagging
- Have the right bone structure to support tightened skin
- Have reasonable expectations about the treatment
- Do not wish to undergo a more invasive procedure, such as a facelift

Why Do People Choose FaceTite Over Other Treatments?
A facelift or neck lift may be required for more substantive changes. For smaller improvements, FaceTite can provide a range of benefits:
- There’s no surgery involved.
- There’s no need for you to go under anesthesia.
- There’s minimal downtime associated with FaceTite.
- There’s no permanent scarring.
- The procedure is quick, usually lasting no more than 90 minutes.
- The results of FaceTite can last for as long as five years.
- Additional treatments can help extend those results even further.
- When administered by a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Gandolfi, FaceTite can provide beautiful and natural-looking outcomes.
How Long Do FaceTiteResults Last?
FaceTite results typically take a year to show the full benefits. At that point, your face will continue to age naturally. Expect FaceTite to “turn back the clock” a few years permanently.
