AccuTite (Eyebag)
What's AccuTite?
A non-surgical procedure called AccuTite uses radiofrequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL). With the help of this therapy, fat cells are broken down, collagen formation is increased, and tissues are contracted, resulting in skin that appears younger and tighter. It tightens the skin around the neck, lower face, nasolabial creases, and under the eyes. This explains why one of the fastest-growing treatments in the market is AccuTite, a non-surgical radiofrequency skin tightening procedure.
What are the benefits of AccuTite?
The groundbreaking AccuTite technology from InMode allows you to achieve noticeable results without the discomfort, expense, or recovery period associated with facial plastic surgery. Without requiring invasive surgery, it will reduce fat and improve skin laxity in regions including the neck, jawline, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under the eyes. We can improve the surface texture and enhance the effects of your AccuTite treatment when used in conjunction with Morpheus8. It is the finest alternative to enhance the youthfulness and contour of your face shape if you want to be more cautious and avoid surgery.
What's an AccuTite treatment like?
The AccuTite procedure starts with a lidocaine (tumescent anesthetic) injection into the target locations. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is supplied for added comfort during this period. Following the numbing process, a tiny cannula is gently inserted into the treatment areas and pushed back and forth to administer radiofrequency energy beneath the skin’s surface. The actual technique takes only ten to twenty minutes, for each area to be treated. But the entire process, including preparation, could take an hour or more.
Is there any downtime for AccuTite?
After AccuTite treatment, downtime varies depending on individual factors and procedure intensity. Expect at least one week of social downtime, with potential swelling and bruising. Compression garment wear may be required for chin treatment, aiding in optimal results and reducing swelling. Bruising, pain, and swelling typically decrease within a few days. Avoid exercise for at least five days post-procedure. If combined with Morpheus8, anticipate temporary skin changes such as redness for several days.
How does AccuTite compare to facial plastic surgery?
AccuTite offers results comparable to plastic surgery but with less invasiveness and shorter downtime. While it provides significant improvements, it’s essential to recognize that AccuTite yields milder results compared to surgery. Some patients may opt for AccuTite initially as a non-surgical option before considering surgery in the future. Candidacy for surgery should be assessed through thorough consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. When choosing between AccuTite and surgery, patients should weigh the costs and benefits to make an informed decision.
