SKIN TIGHTENING REMODELING · LIFT THE LOWER FACE AND NECK WITHOUT A SCALPEL — FACETITE AT DR. LANNA AESTHETICS
Lift the Lower Face and Neck Without a Scalpel — FaceTite at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics
FaceTite in NYC delivers facelift-grade contouring through a single small entry point, using internal radiofrequency energy to melt unwanted fat and contract collagen along the jawline and submentum in one session. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, this minimally invasive RF lifting procedure is performed in our Midtown Manhattan flagship by physicians trained in facial anatomy — an investment in long-term facial architecture for patients who want surgical-quality contouring without surgical downtime. (FaceTite is the canonical RF-assisted lifting service at LC Medical; legacy AccuTite searches now route here.)

WHAT IT IS
What Lift the Lower Face and Neck Without a Scalpel — FaceTite at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics Is
Citation Nugget. FaceTite is an FDA-cleared minimally invasive RF lifting device that combines radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) with simultaneous skin contraction. A small internal cannula delivers RF energy beneath the skin while an external electrode mirrors energy at the surface, melting subcutaneous fat and tightening dermal tissue in a single guided pass. FaceTite uses bipolar RF energy delivered through a cannula inserted through a tiny entry point — typically less than 2 mm — beneath the chin, along the jawline, or in the lower face. The internal probe and external electrode work in tandem: the internal probe heats deep tissue and emulsifies fat while the surface electrode tightens collagen at the dermis, with built-in temperature controls preventing thermal injury. The Russian-doll mechanism is precise — cannula delivers RF, RF emulsifies subcutaneous fat, surface electrode contracts collagen, and tissue continues remodeling for months. LC Medical positions FaceTite as the bridge between non-invasive Morpheus8 and surgical facial procedures. Patients with deeper laxity who are not yet ready for Facial Surgery often choose FaceTite as the next-step intervention. Dr. Lanna Cheuck's Brown University residency and FACS surgical training inform every FaceTite protocol — placement, depth, and sculpting follow facial-architecture principles, not generic templates.
BENEFITS
Benefits
- Lifts and sculpts the lower face in one session — RFAL contracts collagen along the jawline and neck for visible definition without a traditional facelift.
- Reduces submental fullness simultaneously — internal RF energy emulsifies stubborn fat under the chin in the same pass that tightens overlying skin.
- Heals through a single 2 mm entry point — the access incision is small enough to leave no meaningful scar.
- Replaces what once required AccuTite or surgical neck lifts — FaceTite covers the same tightening band with a refined energy profile.
- Compounds with Morpheus8 for full-stack remodeling — many patients pair FaceTite below with Morpheus8 above for layered results.
- Returns you to social schedules within roughly a week — significantly faster recovery than a surgical facelift.
- Delivers measurable results that build over months — collagen contraction continues for up to twelve weeks post-treatment.
IDEAL CANDIDATES
Who It's For
FaceTite in NYC suits patients in their 40s through early 60s with mild-to-moderate jawline and neck laxity, submental fullness, and fibroseptal slackening that no longer responds to topical or non-invasive approaches. Many candidates have already explored Morpheus8 or radiofrequency facials and want a deeper, more structural intervention without committing to a traditional facelift. You are likely a strong candidate if you are in good general health, have realistic expectations about non-surgical lifting versus surgical resection, and can plan around five to ten days of social downtime with mild swelling and bruising. FaceTite is generally not recommended during pregnancy, with active skin infection in the treatment area, with certain implanted devices, or for patients with severely loose skin that requires excisional surgery. Dr. Lanna's team will help you evaluate honestly during consultation — and if Facial Surgery is the more accurate match, we will say so.
WHAT TO EXPECT
From Consultation Through Recovery
-
Consultation
Your FaceTite journey begins with an in-depth consultation at our Midtown Manhattan flagship. Dr. Lanna's team reviews your medical history, photographs the lower face and neck under standardized lighting, and discusses what FaceTite can and cannot deliver compared with both Morpheus8 above it and Facial Surgery beyond it. You leave the consultation with a written plan, a downtime expectation, and a clear understanding of where FaceTite sits in your aesthetic timeline.
-
Treatment
On treatment day, the team applies local anesthesia to the entry-point area and treatment zones. A 2 mm access point is created beneath the chin or along the jawline, and the FaceTite cannula is introduced. Internal RF energy treats subcutaneous tissue from below while the external electrode contracts dermis at the surface — sensors monitor temperature continuously to prevent thermal injury. Most full-jawline-and-neck protocols complete in 60 to 90 minutes of active treatment.
-
Recovery & Results
Recovery is real but contained. Expect mild-to-moderate swelling, bruising, and tenderness for five to ten days, with a chin-strap compression garment recommended for several days post-procedure. Most patients return to professional schedules within seven to ten days; visible tightening progresses over twelve weeks as collagen continues to contract. A single FaceTite session typically delivers the result — unlike Morpheus8, which usually runs in series. Patients who want the most dramatic change pair FaceTite with Morpheus8 surface remodeling six to eight weeks later.

FAQ
Lift the Lower Face and Neck Without a Scalpel — FaceTite at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics FAQs
-
How long do FaceTite results last?
Most patients enjoy three to five years of meaningful tightening from a single FaceTite session, with maintenance treatments such as Morpheus8 extending the result.
-
Is FaceTite painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with optional oral sedation. You will feel pressure and warmth but not sharp pain during treatment.
-
When will I see results?
Initial tightening becomes visible as swelling resolves around weeks two to three; final collagen remodeling continues through twelve weeks.
-
What is the downtime?
Plan five to ten days of social downtime for swelling and bruising, with a compression garment worn for the first several days.
-
Is FaceTite a replacement for a facelift?
FaceTite is a minimally invasive option for mild-to-moderate laxity — it is not a substitute for surgical excision in patients with significant loose skin. Dr. Lanna's team helps you choose accurately during consultation.
-
What about pricing?
We discuss FaceTite plans during your private consultation rather than publishing fixed numbers — your protocol depends on the treatment zones and any pairing with Morpheus8 or surgical refinement.
