What Is Facial Contouring?
Facial contouring encompasses many non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures that lift and tighten the skin and reduce fat in the face and neck for a slimmer look. Depending on the appropriate treatment for you, your solutions can include radiofrequency energy, heat energy, injectables, or ultrasound technologies.
Some areas commonly treated by facial contouring procedures include:
- Above the eyes
- Cheeks
- Chin and mouth
- Under the chin
- Jawline
- Neck
- Décolletage
Facial Contouring Options in Roseville
At Granite Bay Dermatology & Laser Center, we currently offer the following facial contouring treatments.
AccuTite®
AccuTite® technology is similar to FaceTite®; however, AccuTite® specifically addresses smaller areas, such as the skin around the eyelids. It uses RF energy to reduce fat cells and tighten skin.
After the skin has been treated with a local anesthetic, we use a handheld cannula applicator to deliver RF energy into the fat in the targeted areas. The AccuTite® system safely monitors internal and external temperatures to ensure adequate heating of the fat while maintaining a safe, comfortable temperature on the skin’s surface. The liquified fat is removed via microcannulas to improve facial contours.
Depending on the extent of the procedure, AccuTite® procedures last approximately 30 minutes. Patients can resume most usual daily activities in two to three days. AccuTite® results are typically noticeable after six weeks with continued improvements for up to a year and generally last five years.
Evoke
Evoke is a non-invasive procedure that remodels tissues around the cheeks, chin, jawline, and neck with no discomfort or downtime. Evoke uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to deliver hands-free thermal energy to the skin’s deeper layers. Cutting-edge Evoke treatments are safe and effective on all skin types.
The Evoke system is gentle enough to use on delicate tissues, like those around the eyes, so you can achieve a younger-looking appearance. Evoke allows our experts to help you redefine your features by addressing concerns in targeted areas.
Kybella®
Minimize a stubborn double chin with Kybella®, the first and only FDA-approved injectable to contour and improve the appearance of moderate to severe submental fullness. The active ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps your body break down fat.
Injecting Kybella® into the fat pocket beneath your chin gradually reduces fat cells, which your body will then remove through natural waste elimination processes.
Each in-office Kybella® appointment typically takes between 15 to 20 minutes. For the best results, you may need a series of three to five treatments scheduled four to six weeks apart.
FaceTite®
FaceTite® is a minimally invasive facial contouring procedure that aims to lift and rejuvenate the skin. With minimal downtime, FaceTite® uses the latest radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten the brows, forehead, nasolabial folds, cheeks, jowls, jawline, and neck. This procedure offers safe, natural-looking results for patients who are not interested in surgical rejuvenation.
After the skin has been treated with a local anesthetic, a handheld applicator transfers RF energy into the skin by creating micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production for a smooth, flawless complexion.
Each FaceTite® appointment lasts approximately 40 minutes. While the skin will immediately feel tighter, most patients can expect continuous improvement for three to eight weeks afterward.
Thermage®
Thermage® non-invasive skin tightening procedures use radiofrequency (RF) to heat the deep layers of the skin while keeping the superficial layers of the skin cool. It tightens and lifts while stimulating collagen production. The procedure noticeably reshapes facial contours by tightening skin and reducing fat in as little as one treatment.
Depending on the treatment area, Thermage sessions can take 30 minutes to two hours.
Many patients see initial tightening results on the same day as their Thermage procedure and see continued improvements over the next two to six months. Due to increased collagen production, the results of a Thermage procedure can last up to two years.
Morpheus8®
Minimally invasive Morpheus8® treatments combine radiofrequency (RF) technology and microneedling to address the skin’s deeper layers. Morpheus8® utilizes thermal energy to tighten the skin, reduce fat, and stimulate collagen production.
During each Morpheus8® facial contouring appointment, your provider will guide a handheld device across the targeted area. Tiny needles create micro-injuries while delivering RF energy to stimulate collagen production. Most Morpheus8® procedures take 30 to 60 minutes with no downtime or lengthy recovery.
Morpheus8® patients may experience slightly swollen or pink skin for a few days. Afterward, we recommend avoiding strenuous activities and limiting sun exposure.
While some improvements are visible immediately after the procedure, it will take approximately three to four weeks to reveal healthier, firmer, and more evenly toned skin. Most patients experience the best results following a series of three to five treatments scheduled four to six weeks apart.
Ultherapy®
Non-invasive Ultherapy® is an FDA-cleared treatment to lift and tighten skin on the face, neck, chin, and brow, and improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Without downtime, Ultherapy® uses microfocused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and restore tighter, more contoured skin from forehead to chest.
Ultherapy® is a safe and effective non-surgical treatment that stimulates the body’s instinctive regenerative response. After an Ultherapy treatment, most patients will see an initial tightening; however, over the next two to three months, the body will keep producing collagen for continued skin improvement.
Individual response to the Ultherapy® treatment, the natural aging process, and lifestyle choices will dictate the longevity of the results. On average, most patients experience improvements to their skin that last up to five years.
