About Bodytite and Facetite

As you age, collagen – a protein that helps your skin maintain its structure – declines, leading to laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles. Your lifestyle habits can also affect your skin. Approximately 80% of skin ageing is caused by UV exposure. (1) Bodytite and Facetite tighten your skin with radiofrequency (RF) energy that causes it to contract, and the heat from the RF energy stimulates collagen production to renew your skin barrier over time. RF also alters the structure of fat (adipose) cells, which helps the body flush them out through the lymphatic system for a leaner, smoother physique.

Unlike traditional skin tightening treatments that excise droopy skin and leave long-lasting surgical scars, Bodytite and Facetite sculpt your body and rejuvenate your skin without long recovery times. The subdermal adipose remodeling and collagen stimulation (SARCS) treatment strategically targets wrinkles and loose skin while preserving the surrounding tissue for beautiful, reliable results. (2)

Bodytite and Facetite vs Liposuction

If you have pockets of excess fat, Dr Fazel can combine your Facetite and Bodytite treatments with liposuction to remove them. Although Bodytite and Facetite treatments can alter the fat cells with radiofrequency, the procedure is not designed to remove larger fatty deposits. To remove them, Dr Fazel will cleanse the tissue with tumescent fluid – a combination of lidocaine, epinephrine, and saline which causes the fat cells to swell – and extract them with gentle suction.

Benefits

Bodytite and Facetite offer several benefits, including:

  • Smoother, tighter skin: The treatment can improve the appearance of sagging skin and muscle banding, colloquially known as a “turkey neck.”
  • Minimal downtime: You can return to most of your normal activities after a few weeks, making the procedure ideal for patients with busy schedules.
  • Reduced double chin: Dr Fazel can define your jawline by addressing excess submental fat, colloquially known as a double chin.
  • Hidden incisions: Dr Fazel makes discreet incisions behind the ears and beneath the chin that are hardly noticeable along your body’s natural curves.
  • Natural-looking results: The treatment increases your skin’s collagen and elastin levels for a more radiant complexion.
  • Long-lasting results: If you take good care of your skin and avoid sun exposure that can cause fine lines and wrinkles, you can enjoy your results for many years.

Candidates

Suitable candidates for Bodytite and Facetite are those who would like to improve the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. If you would like to tighten your skin without the noticeable surgical scars, incisions, or downtime associated with anaesthesia, this procedure is one of the most effective options available.

If you are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about what you can achieve, the procedure is likely a good fit for you. Patients with conditions that may affect their ability to heal may be recommended alternative body sculpting treatments by Dr Fazel.

Personal Consultation

During your consultation, Dr Fazel will perform a physical examination to determine the best treatment plan for your needs. Please come prepared to discuss your lifestyle, medications, and medical history during your appointment. He will also ask if you have additional aesthetic goals to create a customized plan for your needs.

Preparation

To prepare for Bodytite and Facetite, you will need to:

  • Stop taking medications and supplements that thin the blood
  • Avoid sun exposure to prevent skin damage
  • Schedule time off work to rest
  • Ask for someone you trust to drive you home and care for you
  • Take good care of your skin
  • Maintain a stable weight

Procedure

Bodytite and Facetite Amersham, Harley Street, Enfield, Stoke Poges, or Windsor

On the day of your procedure, our team will cleanse your skin and your anesthesiologist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Dr Fazel will make a small incision in the treatment area. He will administer the RF energy to tighten the skin, and it will generate heat which alters the structure of the fat cells.

If necessary, he can also perform liposuction, during which he will remove the pockets of excess fat with a thin cannula and gentle suction. The procedure takes approximately 1 hour, but this may change depending on the size of the treatment area and the condition of your skin.

After Your Treatment

You can return home to rest after your treatment. You may need to wear a compression garment for a while to support your healing. If you receive the treatment on your face, neck, or chin, you must keep your head elevated to prevent swelling and optimise your recovery. Most patients can return to light exercise after 3 weeks. You will also need to avoid smoking for several weeks. Dr Fazel will provide specific recovery instructions after your treatment.

Results

After a Bodytite and Facetite treatment, you can enjoy firmer, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. Over time, the collagen in your skin can diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and many patients enjoy improved self-esteem afterward. To maintain your results, you will need to avoid sun exposure, stay hydrated, eat healthy meals, and get plenty of rest. Taking good care of your body and protecting your skin with SPF sunscreens will be important for preventing skin damage.

Corresponding Procedures

Emsculpt NEO

Emsculpt NEO is a muscle-building treatment that also reduces excess fat. The FDA-cleared treatment sculpts your body with high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) and radiofrequency (RF). Dr Fazel can administer the treatment with a single applicator that causes your muscles to contract repeatedly. Many patients choose to improve the appearance of their thighs, calves, buttocks, arms, and abdomen with this method.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a treatment that reduces unwanted hair growth. During the treatment, laser energy penetrates the skin barrier to gently alter the structure of your hair follicles and prevent new hair from growing. After laser hair removal, you will not need hair removal creams or painful waxing sessions to enjoy smooth skin.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectables that restore volume to the skin. The treatment can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a plumper appearance. Dr Fazel offers several different types of fillers to enhance the face and body. Some formulas also stimulate collagen production to gradually renew your skin barrier over time. During your consultation, he can recommend the best fillers for your needs.
