What Are FaceTite and BodyTite?

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.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

  • Your appointment starts with a consultation, where Dr Vincent Wong examines the area, talks through your medical history, and agrees on a personalised treatment plan with you.
  • In a safe, sterile setting, a local anaesthetic is given to numb the treatment area before anything begins, so treatment only starts once you’re properly numb.
  • Small incisions (sometimes called puncture sites) are made on either side of the treatment area for the FaceTite or BodyTite probe to pass beneath the skin. This shouldn’t be painful, as the area is already numb from the anaesthetic.
  • Because FaceTite and BodyTite use radiofrequency-assisted liposuction rather than traditional surgical liposuction, treatment is generally quicker and less invasive, with gentle liposuction or aspiration used at the end if needed to remove any loosened fat.
  • Once treatment is complete, small plasters are applied over the puncture sites. Stitches aren’t normally needed, and you’re free to go home the same day.
  • You’ll wear a compression garment for the first three days to help reduce swelling; after that, it’s worn at night only for a further two weeks. Some swelling is perfectly normal and will settle over the following two to four weeks.
  • You may be prescribed a short course of antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection. If so, it’s important to complete the course and let our team know beforehand about any known antibiotic allergies.

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.

Benefit one

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.

Benefit two

Visible results

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.

Benefit three

Minimal downtime

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.

Benefit four

Delivered by a specialist

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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does FaceTite or BodyTite hurt?

    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.

    To find out more about what to expect, contact the team today. You can fill in our contact form, and we’ll get back to you.

    Am I a good candidate for FaceTite or BodyTite?

    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.

    What can FaceTite treat?

    FaceTite is an innovative cosmetic procedure that can offer significant fat reduction as well as:

    • Lifting and defining sagging jowls
    • Reducing the double chin
    • Lifting and contouring the cheeks
    • Defining and sculpting the jawline
    • Removing excess fat to contour the face and neck
    • Smoothing wrinkles and tightening turkey necks
    • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
    Can BodyTite help me lose weight?

    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.

    How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?

    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.

    How much do FaceTite and BodyTite cost in the UK?

    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.
