The Difference Between AccuTite & FaceTite

Summary Overview

• The difference between the two treatments is about its technology used. AccuTite uses the same RFAL technology as FaceTite. But it has a thinner and needle‑like applicator. It is very ideal for small, delicate areas such as under‑eyes.
• FaceTite is best for targeting larger areas. It also combines fat reduction and skin tightening that result in a more comprehensive contouring.
• Both treatments are minimally‑invasive. It both uses RF energy to liquefy fat, stimulate collagen, and produces non‑surgical alternatives to facelift or necklift.
• In choosing which treatment is best for you, you have to identify first your goal. If you are leaning towards subtle enhancement, then AccuTite is best for you but if you are looking for a broader facial rejuvenation then FaceTite is for you.

 

Everything You Need To Know About AccuTite and FaceTite

How Do These Treatment Works

Both FaceTite and AccuTite, are two of the leading aesthetic treatments nowadays. These are minimally invasive procedures that are best for making the skin firmer and helping reduce fats without undergoing the traditional facelift. It both uses RFAL or Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL) technology. During the procedure, it uses a very thin probe which is inserted under your skin while an external electrode sits on its surface. It delivers a controlled heat onto your skin as the device moves. The best thing about it is that these have 2 purposes. First is, it helps liquify any unwanted fat cells and helps in triggering a significant contraction of the skin’s collagen fibers. This leads to the immediate tightening of your skin and its long-term rejuvenation.

 

Why Non-Surgical RFAL Treatments Are Very Common

People choose non-surgical RFAL treatments like AccuTite and FaceTite because it gives out significant results without undergoing any major surgery. These treatments are best in producing surgical-grade results which you’d normally get on a traditional face lift like a more defined jawline, firmer skin in under-eye area, and other skin tightening results. Aside from these, it also has less downtime compared with traditional facelift. It would only require a few days of recovery once you undergo any of these non-surgical treatments. The good thing about it as well is the procedures use tiny incisions that don’t actually require stitches. It avoids visible scarring that is typically associated with traditional surgery.

 

Let’s Talk About AccuTite

AccuTite is a minimally invasive treatment that uses the smallest contraction device that is designed specifically for precision. It uses RFAL technology as its larger and involves a tiny, sub-millimeter cannula and an external electrode. The device delivers RF energy to the targeted tissue and as it produces the heat, it creates a localized thermal field that helps in melting any unwanted fat and helps in tightening the skin. This also allows the aestheticians to target small areas with extreme accuracy because it is very compact. Because of how it is delicate, this ensures that the heat is applied to where it is needed.

The best thing about AccuTite is in its ability to treat small and delicate parts that are typically difficult to reach without undergoing any major surgery. Here are the areas that it is most commonly used for:

• It typically targets the Periorbital area where it reduces fats under the eye and helps tighten skin under the eyes.
• It also helps in smoothing out lines in Nasolabial folds. It is the line between the nose and mouth.
• It also provides a subtle lift to the eyebrow area.
• It helps in contouring the jawline or small areas of the neck that results in a more defined look.
• It can even be used for other small body areas like the armpits or the knees.

One of the primary advantages of AccuTite is how it provides surgical-like precision with minimal trauma to its surrounding tissue. It is typically performed under a local anaesthesia which means you are awake during the procedure. Its recovery is quick and typically has minimal downtime. It is recommended for people with mild to moderate skin laxity and are looking for treatment to reduce any unwanted fats without undergoing a major surgery. People who are dealing with skin ageing and want to improve a natural looking skin can also consider this as their best option.

 

Let’s Talk About AccuTite

FaceTite is somehow similar to AccuTite. While AccuTite is designed to handle smaller areas, FaceTite is designed for larger surface areas while utilising the same RFAL technology. Its device is slightly a larger internal probe and an external electrode that will glide along the skin simultaneously during the procedure. This creates a thermal bridge as the RF energy flows between the two and it then provides a uniform heat. Through this process, it helps in liquifying any unwanted fats and leads to immediate skin tightening. FaceTite produces heat from the inside out, and because of this, it helps in achieving your goals of having a more defined and contoured area that can’t typically achieve through any external laser only.

AccuTite focuses on the smallest and delicate areas while FaceTite is all about the larger facial and neck area. It is specifically designed in addressing skin laxity and unwanted fats in areas which is the typical skin problem as your skin ages. Here are the common areas that usually work for FaceTite.

• It helps define the jawline and jowls, leading to a more defined and firmer lower face.
• It helps smoothing out sagging skin within the neck area.
• It also helps in reducing the visibility of the double chin by melting the fat within the area and lifting the skin.
• It also helps in addressing marionette lines and saggy skin mid-face.

One of the primary advantages of FaceTite is how it serves as a non-surgical option if you want to achieve face lift without undergoing major surgery. It is typically performed under a general anaesthesia and provides a more dramatic contour results without any long scars that often happens through the traditional surgery. It also has minimal recovery time that is typical within 3 to 7 days. It is recommended for people with mild to moderate saggy skin within their lower face or neck area. This also comes with skin ageing so people within 35 to 65 years old often choose this treatment.

AccuTite vs FaceTite: Which Is Best For You?

Identify Treatment Area & Your Goals

If you are looking for a subtle and natural looking result without undergoing a major surgery, then AccuTite is the best option for you. This will give you a subtle contour and could actually target the smallest part of your skin. But if you are looking for a more dramatic result in your overall aesthetic feature, FaceTite is the best option for you. It will give you a more defined and firmer skin within the lower face and gives you sharper, youthful contour. It is why identifying which area you’d like to improve so you can properly choose which treatment is suitable for you.

 

Knowing Its Precision and Scope

If you are dealing with saggy skin within your upper eyelids, arm pit, and within the area of your brow, AccuTite is most recommended for you.

If you want to get rid of your double chin and you want to have a more defined jawline and jowls, then FaceTite is most recommended for you.

However, if you are dealing with all these skin issues, you can also choose to have both treatments for more comprehensive results.

 

Knowing Its Downtime & Recovery

Both treatments are minimally invasive and usually performed under local anaesthesia.

For FaceTite, you might experience mild swelling for 5 to 7 days after the procedure. You might be advised to wear a compression strap for the first few nights to support the new contours.

For AccuTite, the downtime is much shorter compared with FaceTite since it targets small areas. However, you might still experience minor swelling for only 2 to 3 days after the procedure.

Understanding Its Safety and Side Effects

Both treatments are minimally invasive but still there might be some side effects that you might experience after the treatment. You might experience minor swelling and soreness during the first 48 to 72 hours after the treatment. Some patients have reported that they experience minor bruising or redness at the treatment area. Minor scarring is usually rare since the treatments use small incisions and this would eventually fade after a few days.

Risks are very common in any treatment so these may vary depending on the scope of the procedure. But here are some of the risks that you need to be aware of:

• For AccuTite, since it targets small areas like the eyelids or brows, its primary risk is the temporary asymmetry or minor swelling that could briefly affect the appearance of the eyes. The skin in this area is generally thin so this might happen.
• For FaceTite, since it targets larger areas like the neck and jawline, you might possibly experience a slight higher risk of contour irregularities. This usually happens if the fat isn’t liquefied evenly.

 

So, Which Treatment Is Best For You?

If you are looking for a subtle and natural looking result without undergoing a major surgery, then AccuTite is the best option for you. This will give you a subtle contour and could actually target the smallest part of your skin.
