Wishing you could turn back the clock on a softening jawline or sagging neck without the scars and downtime of a facelift? The good news is that you no longer have to choose between living with the signs of aging and committing to major surgery. FaceTite™ delivers facelift-like results through a tiny entry point.
At Old Town Med Spa, Dr. Nael Gharbi and Dr. Shazel Gharbi (the MD Brothers) are among Chicago’s most trusted cosmetic physicians, with more than a decade of experience and advanced training in radiofrequency, laser, and minimally invasive facial sculpting. Their precision-driven approach has helped thousands of patients refresh their look safely and beautifully.
What Is FaceTite?
FaceTite is a minimally invasive facial contouring procedure powered by directional radiofrequency (RF) energy. It heats the deep tissue and skin in a controlled, uniform way, contracting the dermis, melting stubborn fat, and remodeling the fibrous tissue beneath your skin, all through a tiny entry point that requires no large incisions or sutures.

Areas FaceTite Can Treat
FaceTite is designed for the lower face, jowls, under-chin area, and neck. For the upper face and delicate areas around the eyes and mouth, our team also offers AccuTite™, and for body contouring, we offer BodyTite™.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Most healthy adults bothered by mild to moderate skin laxity or stubborn facial fat are good candidates, regardless of age or gender. A private consultation with Dr. Nael or Dr. Shazel Gharbi is the best way to determine whether FaceTite or a combination treatment is right for you.
The FaceTite Treatment Process
Your provider numbs the treatment area with local anesthesia, then inserts a small internal probe just beneath the skin. An external electrode glides over the surface, and RF energy travels between them to precisely heat the tissue. The procedure typically takes about an hour.
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to normal activities within 2 to 3 days, though mild swelling or bruising can linger briefly. A compression garment may be recommended. You will notice tighter, smoother contours within weeks, with final results emerging at the 6- to 12-month mark. Studies show patients see roughly 40% firmer, more toned results compared to traditional liposuction alone.
FaceTite With or Without Liposuction
FaceTite pairs beautifully with Vaser-assisted liposuction to remove excess fat while tightening the skin in a single session, preventing sagging that can follow lipo alone. In other cases, FaceTite is performed on its own.
