Accutite is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used for facial rejuvenation. It is part of a broader treatment known as "Facetite," which involves using radiofrequency energy to tighten and contour the skin. Accutite specifically targets smaller areas of the face, such as the brows, eyelids, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and jowls.
During an Accutite procedure, a small probe is inserted under the skin through tiny holes made by an 18G needle. The probe emits radiofrequency energy, which heats the underlying tissues, stimulating collagen production and causing tissue contraction. The controlled heating and tightening of the skin can result in improved contouring, fine lines and wrinkles reduction, and overall skin tightening.
One of the significant advantages of Accutite is that it is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, meaning the patient remains awake during the treatment. This approach reduces the risks and recovery time associated with more invasive surgical procedures.
It is important to note that while Accutite can provide noticeable results, it may only be suitable for some patients.
This procedure is entirely under local anaesthetic.
