FaceTite™
Consultations offered at our two convenient locations in Lake Havasu and Kingman, AZ
FaceTite (FaceTite™) is a minimally invasive procedure that addresses visual signs of aging to restore a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Over time, factors such as aging, genetics, lifestyle habits, and more can change our skin’s appearance. This may include developing early signs of aging, such as creases or wrinkles, or the skin can start to hang or sag.
FaceTite combats each of these concerns by emitting controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to contract the skin and stimulate collagen production. (1) This allows you to address concerns regarding the tone or texture of your skin, as well as enhance your facial definition.
If you are ready to revitalize your appearance, the team at Prima Medical Care can help! Our team of specialists and experts each has years of experience in the medical industry, helping patients enhance their skin using both surgical and non-surgical treatments. Our team is led by Dr. Michael Colonna, a board-certified emergency medicine physician with more than 15 years of experience.

About FaceTite
FaceTite is a minimally invasive facial contouring procedure that can refine your skin’s health and appearance. This treatment emits RF energy to the underlying layers of your tissue to stimulate collagen production and tighten your skin from within. This process supports your body’s regenerative properties and restores a more refined and recontoured look, making FaceTite an ideal option for anyone interested in rejuvenating their appearance without surgical intervention.

Benefits
Those who choose to rejuvenate their appearance using FaceTite typically experience numerous benefits, including:
- Improvements in Skin Quality: FaceTite can stimulate collagen growth, leading to healthier, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin overall.
- Reduced Signs of Aging: FaceTite effectively softens and reduces the appearance of aging, including creases, wrinkles, fine lines, and more.
- Natural-Looking Results: This treatment offers subtle enhancements that elevate the unique sculpt and contours of your face. This avoids the ‘overly-tightened’ appearance often associated with surgical facelifts.
- Minimally-Invasive Treatment: FaceTite uses smaller incisions than surgical alternatives, enhancing its overall safety profile.
- Shortened Recovery Time: Recovering from FaceTite is typically quicker than other treatments or procedures, allowing you to return to your daily activities sooner.
- Versatile Application: FaceTite can address several areas of the face, including the cheeks, chin, jawline, and neck, allowing patients to improve multiple features in one session.
- Lasting Results: Patients can enjoy their FaceTite results for several years when paired with a proper skincare regimen and healthy lifestyle habits.
Candidates
FaceTite can effectively improve mild skin laxity around various areas of the face, including the jawline, jowl, neck, eyes, chin, or cheeks. This treatment is highly beneficial for patients seeking facial rejuvenation without surgical intervention, especially those who are experiencing premature signs of aging. Anyone interested in FaceTite should be in good overall health and maintain realistic expectations regarding the results of their treatment. Our team of specialists will evaluate each patient’s medical history and skin quality to determine their candidacy for this treatment.
Personal Consultation
The first step to revitalizing your skin is attending a personal consultation at either our Lake Havasu City or Kingman office. During this consultation, one of our specialists will meet with you individually to learn more about your medical history and skin concerns. They will listen to your treatment goals, understand your ideal aesthetic, and perform a physical evaluation to assess skin quality and condition.
Your specialist will use this information to create your personalized treatment plan, and they may recommend additional procedures to enhance your results. We encourage patients to prepare questions and speak openly, as we want them to feel well-informed and confident about their upcoming treatment.

Preparation
Once you decide to proceed with your FaceTite treatment, your specialist will provide a set of detailed preparation instructions.
You may need to refrain from taking certain medications and supplements that contain blood-thinning properties. We recommend wearing sun protection liberally when leaving the house, although it is best to avoid direct and excessive sunlight in general. You will need to stop consuming nicotine and alcohol in the weeks before and after your treatment, as these substances can affect your recovery and results. You will need to take time away from your career and other obligations, and arrange transportation home after your treatment. We also advise adopting healthy lifestyle habits before receiving FaceTite, as fluctuations in weight can alter the long-term appearance of your results.
Procedure
You should arrive at your appointment with clean skin, free of any residual makeup or skincare products. We will cleanse your skin and apply a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable.
After preparing the treatment area, your specialist will create a small incision and insert the FaceTite device beneath the skin, where it will emit radiofrequency energy in the targeted treatment areas. As your body absorbs this energy, it stimulates neocollagenesis while reducing fat in the local area. After achieving your desired appearance, your specialist will carefully close the incisions.
FaceTite procedures typically take between 45 minutes to 2 hours, but your specific procedure duration may vary depending on the size and number of areas being addressed.
Recovery
When recovering from FaceTite, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or redness around the treated areas. These effects are temporary and will subside gradually on their own, but you can also manage this with recommended medications, keeping your head elevated, and cold compresses. Your specialist may also provide you with a compression garment to wear as you heal, which is designed to manage further swelling and enhance your outcomes.
You will be able to return to your job and other light tasks after resting for approximately one week, but you need to avoid strenuous or physical activities until you are cleared to return. Your specialist will provide you with more detailed recovery instructions after your treatment to ensure you understand how to care for yourself as you heal.
Results
FaceTite results will develop gradually as your internal collagen levels continue to rise. Over time, you will be able to enjoy smoother and tighter skin, free of laxity and uneven texture. You will also be able to experience a more defined, contoured, and youthful-looking appearance as wrinkles, creases, lines, and crow’s feet are softened.
The results of FaceTite are designed to last for several years, especially when paired with healthy lifestyle habits and an effective skincare regimen. You will be able to experience noticeable improvements in your skin’s appearance and health after just one treatment session, but you may require several treatment sessions to achieve your desired results. Your specialist will help you determine the most effective number of treatments for your specific skin concerns during your consultation.
