FaceTite is a minimally invasive treatment that tightens skin and contours the face using radiofrequency energy. While results are impressive, understanding the recovery timeline helps patients plan appropriately and feel confident throughout the healing process. At Dr. Maya Kato’s Palm Desert practice, we offer personalized care with FaceTite treatments.

Immediately After Treatment

Mild swelling, redness, and tenderness are common. A compression garment may be applied to support healing and minimize swelling. Most patients return home the same day.

Week One

Swelling and bruising are most noticeable during the first week. Discomfort is typically mild and managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications. Many patients return to light activities within a few days.

Week Two

Swelling begins to decrease, and bruising fades. The skin may feel firm or tight as collagen remodeling begins. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities.

Weeks Three to Four

Skin tightening becomes more noticeable. Residual swelling continues to improve, and facial contours appear smoother and more defined.

One to Three Months

Collagen production continues, leading to progressive skin tightening and improved tone. Results become more refined and natural-looking.

Final Results

Optimal results typically appear around six months, with continued improvement in skin firmness and contour. Following post-treatment instructions and wearing compression garments as recommended supports the best outcome.
