AccuTite is currently the smallest minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening device available, suitable for extremely delicate parts of the face and body. Dr. Kayvan Fathimani offers AccuTite as a non-surgical alternative to a facelift and other cosmetic surgeries.
A Minimally-Invasive Alternative to Facelift
A facelift is one of the most popular procedures for addressing the signs of aging in the face. A facelift can improve the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls, taking a decade off your face. But a facelift is not right for everyone. It is a major surgery that requires a significant amount of downtime for recovery. If you’re in your 30s or 40s and have moderate signs of aging, AccuTite is a better alternative because it offers noticeable results with minimal downtime.
What is AccuTite?
Most cosmetic concerns can be narrowed down to two categories — excess fat deposits or excess skin laxity. The accumulation of excess subcutaneous fat cells can lead to a heavy, bulky appearance and skin laxity because the loss of collagen makes you look old and drawn. AccuTite is a radiofrequency-assisted liposuction device that simultaneously melts excess fat and tightens skin, helping you achieve more chiseled facial contours with minimal downtime.
Common Treatment Areas:
- Brows
- Eyelids
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Jowls
- Neck
- Bikini area
- Elbows
- Knees
Benefits of AccuTite:
- Minimally invasive treatment
- Simultaneously remove excess fat and tighten skin
- Stimulate natural collagen production
- Improve overall skin tone and quality
- Minimal discomfort during the treatment
- Minimal post-treatment side effects and downtime
- Suitable for delicate and hard-to-reach areas
How Does AccuTite Work?
AccuTite works on the principles of radiofrequency-assisted liposuction. The procedure involves inserting one end of a handheld device underneath the skin to deliver radiofrequency energy into the unwanted fat cells. RF energy melts away excess fat while stimulating collagen production and cellular contracture. Over time, your body metabolizes and removes the fat deposits and produces new collagen fibers, which makes your skin look taut and contoured.
The Complete AccuTite Treatment
During an AccuTite treatment, the doctor will insert a small, heated probe into the area of the skin that needs to be treated. The heat from the probe will melt excess fat and cause the skin to contract and tighten. The doctor will then move the probe around to different areas of the skin until the entire treatment area has been covered. The whole process takes about 30 minutes. AccuTite is performed under local anesthesia, so there’s no pain.
AccuTite: Recovery & Downtime
The side effects of AccuTite are generally minor. You may experience bruising, swelling, and discomfort for a few days, but these side effects should resolve on their own within a week. Recovery from AccuTite is typically quick and easy. You should be able to return to your normal activities within a day or two. There is no need for any special aftercare or follow-up.
AccuTite: Results & Longevity
The results of AccuTite can take up to 6 months to be realized. Patients will generally see a 25-30% improvement in skin laxity following a single treatment. The skin will continue to tighten over the next several months as the skin adjusts to the new collagen produced by the body. The results of the AccuTite can last up to 2 years.
