ACCUTITE

FACE CONTOURING TREATMENT

Some areas of our body can be incredibly stubborn to improvement, despite our best efforts. Resistant pockets of fat start to appear, as the skin begins to sag in the finer parts of our face and body. There are many cosmetic treatments to consider, but which one will actually give you the results you crave without the risks and trauma of surgery?


AccuTite, which was developed as the latest treatment innovation in radio frequency technology, may provide the solution you’re searching for. Clinically proven to be safe and effective, this minimally invasive treatment is ideal for anyone who wants high precision face contouring, skin tightening, and body sculpting without resorting to surgery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • HOW DOES ACCUTITE WORK?

    AccuTite treatment is administered by inserting a tiny probe through the skin and underlying tissue targeted for improvement. Radiofrequency energy travels through the probe and melts the underlying fat cells while increasing the body’s production of collagen and elastin. Thus, the fatty pocket is visibly diminished or eliminated, while the skin naturally regenerates itself from within.  

  • WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?

    AccuTite is an excellent choice for treating the smaller and narrower areas of the face, such as:

    • Brows (for lifting and tightening)
    • Lower and upper eyelids (periorbital areas)
    • Laugh lines (folds that start from the nose and end at the sides of the mouth)
    • Marionette lines (lines that begin at the corners of the mouth down to the chin)
    • Loose skin in small parts of the jaw and neck

    It is also very effective in sculpting these harder-to-treat areas of the body, which include:

    • Bra fat or armpit fat
    • Upper arms
    • Hands (to reduce wrinkles and plump the skin)
    • Abdominal area (to contract and tighten the skin)
    • Knees (to lift and firm up sagging skin)
    • Outer and inner thighs (to reduce cellulite and improve skin texture 
  • WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING TREATMENT?

    AccuTite is comfortable, virtually painless, and very quick. Local anesthetic is used to ensure that you remain relaxed throughout the procedure. A pinpoint probe is then inserted to deliver controlled heat into the underlying tissues of the treated area. The procedure is usually completed in less than 30 minutes.

  • HOW MUCH DOWNTIME CAN I EXPECT?

    Recovery after AccuTite treatment is very fast because it is very minimally invasive, and requires no cutting or general anesthesia like surgery. Immediately after treatment, depending on which part of the face or body was treated, you may be provided a compression garment to wear. Please carefully follow doctor's instructions to ensure proper and speedy healing. 


    You may feel sore, swollen, or tender for several days after your procedure. While everyone is different, most patients will have recovered enough to go back to work in 2 or 3 days.    


    If you had AccuTite treatment on your face, you may start wearing makeup again after 24 or 48 hours have passed. For best results, however, it is advised that you stay away from harsh skin care products (retinoids, exfoliants, anything with potentially irritating ingredients), go make-up free, and avoid strenuous activities for at least one week. 

  • DOES ACCUTITE TREATMENT HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

    AccuTite is FDA approved and is clinically proven to be one of the safest medical cosmetic procedures you can undergo today. The technology is equipped with automated temperature control and shutoff feature to ensure optimal heat levels while preventing damage to the skin and tissue. 


    Swelling and bruising are common after the procedure, but these symptoms are temporary and should dissipate within 2 weeks. Other complications, such as skin burns, discoloration, and nerve damage are more serious but are thankfully exceedingly rare.

  • WHEN SHOULD I SEE RESULTS AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

    Your skin should start showing improvement within the first few days after treatment. Results from fat removal or reduction should be immediately apparent. The skin will continue to contract and tighten over a period of several weeks to several months. With proper nutrition, skin care, and exercise habits, the benefits of AccuTite treatment can last up to 5 years. 

  • HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?

    One AccuTite treatment is enough for most patients, though some may need a 2nd or 3rd session to achieve the results they desire.

  • WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ACCUTITE TREATMENTS?

    AccuTite offers many advantages compared to other treatments, which include:

    • Minimally invasive treatment method (no general anesthesia, no incisions)
    • Very short treatment and recovery time
    • Precise improvement in hard-to-treat areas on the face and body comparable to results acquired from surgery
    • Natural-looking results that can be maintained for years
    • Much lower risk of injury, scarring, and side effects
