SUMMARY

Abstract
Patients with facial and neck skin laxity often seek non-surgical alternatives to invasive procedures like facelifts and neck lifts. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) using FaceTite and AccuTite, hypothesizing that these tools can achieve meaningful aesthetic improvements with fewer complications and shorter recovery periods.

Conclusion
The study concludes that FaceTite and AccuTite provide a reliable, safe, and effective alternative for treating facial and neck laxity. Results showed consistent improvement in contour and skin tightening with a favorable safety profile. These RF-based tools are ideal for patients seeking results comparable to surgical intervention without the associated risks or downtime. Physicians are advised to consider patient anatomy and expectations to optimize outcomes.

TOPICS COVERED

  • Radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) using FaceTite and AccuTite
  • Mechanisms of energy delivery to subdermal tissue and fascial layers
  • Safety protocols and treatment parameters for facial regions
  • Discussion of minimal invasiveness and patient downtime
  • Comparison of results in mild-to-moderate vs severe laxity cases
  • Emphasis on contouring without excisional surgery
