Face Contouring: Rediscover Your Defined Contours

At Thrive Med Spa VA, Face Contouring is a revolutionary approach to restoring youthful definition without surgery. As we age, skin laxity, volume loss, and weakened connective tissue cause the face to lose its natural angles and sculpted shape. Our advanced minimally invasive procedures target these concerns precisely—lifting sagging skin, eliminating submental ("double chin") fat, and stimulating collagen for structural rejuvenation. The result? A naturally chiseled jawline, refined cheekbones, and balanced facial harmony that looks effortlessly revitalized.

Facetite: The Precision Lift & Reshaping Solution:

What it is:

Facetite combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with minimally invasive micro-cannula technology to melt fat, tighten skin 3x more effectively than lasers, and stimulate collagen.

Ideal For:

Moderate jawline sagging or "jowls"
Loose skin under the chin/neck
Mild cheek flattening

How It Works:

A tiny incision (2-3mm) is made near the treatment area.
A specialized cannula delivers RF energy beneath the skin to:

Liquefy and remove unwanted fat
Contract collagen fibers for immediate tightening
Trigger long-term remodeling (collagen grows for 6+ months)

Results appear gradually: 40% improvement at 1 month, full results at 3-6 months.

Key Benefits:

Dual Action: Fat reduction + skin tightening in one 45-60 min session
Local Anesthesia Only: No general anesthesia risks
Minimal Downtime: 3-5 days of swelling/bruising
Natural Lift: Avoids the "pulled" look of traditional facelifts

Embrace RF: Targeted Definition & Micro-Contouring

What it is:

Embrace RF uses focused bipolar RF energy to treat delicate areas with pixel-perfect accuracy. It’s the gold standard for subtle sculpting.

Ideal For:

Refining jawline edges
Smoothing "marionette lines"
Defining the chin and décolletage
Enhancing cheekbone projection

How It Works:

A handheld device delivers controlled RF heat to specific tissue layers.
Energy triggers:

Immediate collagen contraction (visible tightening)
Delayed neocollagenesis (new collagen for 12+ months)

Treatments take 20-45 minutes. Most patients need 1-3 sessions.

Key Benefits:

Pixel-Perfect Precision: Treats areas too small for other devices (e.g., chin creases)
Zero Downtime: Resume activities immediately
Comfortable: Built-in cooling protects skin surface
Progressive Results: Improves continuously for 1 year

ALSO KNOWN AS RFAL: RADIO-FREQUENCY ASSISTED LIPOLYSIS OR RADIO-FREQUENCY ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION)

FaceTite is one of the most advanced nonsurgical contouring procedures available. Like bodytite, it is a form of liposuction coupled with radiofrequency technology to heat and contract the overlying skin. It can provide surgical facelift-like results with dramatically less downtime. When coupled with Morpheus8 Micrneedling, the technology is known as Embrace RF. The thought is the two work together to produce even more dramatic results.

FaceTite dramatically mproves skin laxity on the face and neck, which was previously only attainable through a surgical procedure like a lower neck and facelift. FaceTite utilizes minimally invasive radio-frequency energy to melt fat and tighten skin. Morpheus8 is a microneedling treatment that stimulates collagen production, resulting in enhanced skin tightening and texture.
As we age, skin begins to lose elasticity, and facial tissues lose volume. Eventually, this results in“jowls” on the lower face, deep wrinkles, and loose skin on the neck. While this is a natural part of growing older, patients who are bothered by these signs of aging may find that non-surgical options like fillers aren’t enough but are not quite ready for a facelift.
Downtime is fairly minimal but does vary depending upon treatment area. Average downtime is 1-2 days but can sometimes take up to 7 days. Most people can go back to work within 2-3 days.
Patients should refrain from vigorous activity/ exercise for about 2 weeks but otherwise can return to normal daily activities within 24-48 hours.
