Minimally invasive
With these treatments, there's no general anaesthetic, surgery or stitches needed, making it a popular alternative to invasive procedures such as surgical facelifts and liposuction.
FaceTite and BodyTite are minimally invasive contouring cosmetic procedures that use radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten skin and dissolve localised fat. A fine cannula is inserted beneath the skin and delivers heat to the treatment area, stimulating collagen and elastin production while melting fat cells. Each treatment zone is treated for around five minutes to make sure the right amount of energy is delivered, with gentle liposuction or aspiration used afterwards to remove the loosened fat if needed.
The result is a tighter, more contoured appearance and a noticeable improvement in skin laxity and skin contraction, without the need for surgery. Most patients see an immediate change, with results continuing to improve over the following three to six months.
FaceTite targets unwanted fat and loose skin on the face and neck, while BodyTite treats the hips, thighs, abdomen, lower tummy, waist, buttocks and back. Every treatment plan is tailored to you at your consultation, so the aim is always a natural-looking result rather than an obvious change.
FaceTite and BodyTite are elective treatments, so there’s no obligation to go ahead until you’re ready.
If it’s a stubborn fatty lump rather than overall skin laxity you’re dealing with, our lipoma removal may be a better fit. And if you’re not ready for something in this more surgical category, Morpheus8 offers a less invasive route to skin tightening, while blepharoplasty is worth a look if it’s specifically your eyelids or under-eye area that’s bothering you.
You’ll always have a free, no-obligation consultation first, so we can talk through what’s right for you before any treatment goes ahead.
During your free consultation, we’ll carry out a physical examination, talk through your medical history, and agree on a personalised treatment plan together. If you’re feeling nervous beforehand, that’s completely normal – most patients find any nerves ease once they’re actually in the room and being talked through each step.
With these treatments, there's no general anaesthetic, surgery or stitches needed, making it a popular alternative to invasive procedures such as surgical facelifts and liposuction.
Most patients will see the results of fatty tissue removal and body contouring straight away, especially on delicate neck skin. This continues to get better over the months following your procedure.
Despite being an effective skin-tightening treatment, the FaceTite or BodyTite procedure removes excess fat and improves skin laxity with very short-lived side effects, such as swelling, redness, bruising or sensitivity, which should resolve in around three days.
Each minimally invasive face and body contouring procedure is completed by our well-respected and highly experienced surgeon, Dr Vincent Wong, who delivers a high standard of patient care with outstanding results.
Aesthetics of Essex has been helping people feel more like themselves for many years.
FaceTite and BodyTite sit at the more considered end of what we offer, closer to surgery than a lunchtime treatment, which is exactly why we hand it to Dr Vincent Wong, our internationally experienced surgeon.
You’ll get the same free, no-obligation consultation as every other patient, so you can ask about suitability, downtime, and cost before deciding.
If FaceTite or BodyTite isn’t right for you, we’ll be honest and say so, talking you through what is. That honesty, together with a highly qualified clinical team, is why patients across Essex keep coming back.
While it’s different from a standard massage or beauty facial, the vast majority of our patients don’t find FaceTite or BodyTite painful. That’s down to the skilled application of a local anaesthetic, which numbs the treatment area before anything begins, so treatment only starts once you’re properly numb.
Once treatment is underway, you might feel some gentle pressure or pulling as the fatty tissue is treated and removed, but compared to traditional cosmetic surgery, it’s nothing alike. Any soreness afterwards is generally manageable with over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol.

These treatments are ideal for healthy adults with mild to moderate skin laxity and localised fat who’d like a more youthful appearance without going under the knife. We don’t recommend this treatment if you’re pregnant, have active skin infections, or have certain medical conditions that affect healing. Dr Vincent Wong will assess your suitability at your initial consultation.
FaceTite is an innovative cosmetic procedure that can offer significant fat reduction as well as:
Subcutaneous tissue heating isn’t a weight-loss procedure and cannot remove excess skin. While radiofrequency energy can remove excess fat, tighten the skin and contour the treated area, there are limits to what it can achieve.
If you’re hoping for a whole-body transformation, BodyTite should be used alongside a healthy diet and exercise for overall fat reduction, rather than in place of them.
Most patients see the results of fat reduction and body contouring straight away, especially on the delicate skin of the neck. As some swelling settles over the following two to four weeks, the results in your treatment area will continue to improve over the following months.
Staying close to a healthy diet and weight helps those results hold well over time, but Face/BodyTite doesn’t prevent the effects of future weight gain, so if you put on weight afterwards, the results in that area can be affected too.
The cost of treatment depends on how many zones and which areas you’d like treated. For a bespoke quote, you’ll need to speak to the team at your initial consultation, which you can book by calling 01708 225 555.
