Facetite Tampa by Effie Pappas Politis
FaceTite Tampa, FL | Advanced Facial Rejuvenation at Politis Plastic Surgery
What is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a cutting-edge minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce the appearance of the chin and jowl areas. This innovative technology allows patients to undergo an in-office treatment that delivers similar results to a traditional surgical facelift.
Procedure Technique
Dr. Politis performs FaceTite using a sophisticated approach that merges radiofrequency waves with traditional liposuction:
- Local anesthesia is administered to the targeted area
- A small incision is made
- A specialized device with electrodes is inserted
- Radiofrequency waves liquefy fat cells
- A separate tube simultaneously suctions away liquefied fat
- Radiofrequency stimulates collagen fiber production beneath the skin
