FaceTite addresses subdermal fat and deeper collagen; it is frequently combined with treatments targeting the superficial dermis (such as RF microneedling with Morpheus8), injectables (hyaluronic acid filler for volume restoration or Botox for dynamic lines), or structural repositioning (such as thread lifting).

font-weight: bold; color: #3a6e3a;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure developed by InMode that uses bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered simultaneously through a small internal electrode (inserted beneath the skin via a tiny incision) and an external electrode gliding along the skin surface. The device monitors tissue temperature in real time, delivering controlled heat to the subdermal fat layer and the underside of the dermis while protecting the overlying skin from burns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 .45em; font-weight: bold; color: #3a6e3a;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mechanism works on two physiological levels. First, the RF energy emulsifies (liquefies) localised fat deposits, which are then gently aspirated or absorbed by the body. Second \u2014 and arguably more clinically significant for the face \u2014 the thermal energy triggers collagen denaturation and neocollagenesis: existing collagen fibres contract immediately, producing a visible tightening effect, while the body&#8217;s healing response gradually lays down new collagen over the following months.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Radiofrequency Energy Rather Than Laser or Ultrasound?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RF energy produces a relatively uniform heating pattern within soft tissue, and because the FaceTite handpiece monitors both internal and external temperature simultaneously, the risk of over-treating any single zone is substantially reduced compared with older, non-monitored energy-assisted lipolysis devices. Unlike high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which acts at a fixed depth from the exterior, RF-assisted lipolysis treats from within the tissue outward, allowing the physician to address both subcutaneous fat volume and dermal laxity in a single session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 .45em; font-weight: bold; color: #3a6e3a;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The operating temperature target for FaceTite is typically 38\u201342\u00b0C on the external skin surface and approximately 70\u00b0C internally \u2014 a range that clinical literature associates with effective collagen remodelling without causing full-thickness tissue injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Body Areas Can FaceTite Address?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the face, FaceTite is most frequently applied to the jowls, jawline, submentum (under the chin), and upper neck. The nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines can also be addressed when the overlying skin has adequate laxity to respond to the tightening stimulus. For body applications, a closely related technology \u2014 BodyTite \u2014 uses the same RF platform at higher energy outputs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 .45em; font-weight: bold; color: #3a6e3a;\">\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Results Can Patients Realistically Expect?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo: Pexels \/ MART PRODUCTION<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 .45em; font-weight: bold; color: #3a6e3a;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FaceTite produces results that sit on a spectrum influenced by the patient&#8217;s skin quality, the degree of fat present, and the extent of any pre-existing skin laxity. Immediate post-procedure swelling can make it difficult to appreciate results for the first two to four weeks. The most notable improvement in contour typically becomes apparent between two and three months, as the majority of oedema has resolved, while continued collagen remodelling means results can still be improving at the six-month mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 .45em; font-weight: bold; color: #3a6e3a;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies suggest meaningful and measurable outcomes. A peer-reviewed study published in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Drugs in Dermatology<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reported an average contraction of the subdermal tissue of approximately 37% in patients treated with RFAL, with skin surface measurements confirming visible tightening at six months post-procedure. Clinical reports also indicate patient satisfaction rates above 85% in independent follow-up surveys when patients were appropriately selected and counselled on realistic expectations beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 .45em; font-weight: bold; color: #3a6e3a;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that FaceTite does not replicate the degree of tissue repositioning achievable with a surgical facelift. Patients with very significant skin excess \u2014 sometimes described as &#8220;redundant&#8221; skin \u2014 may ultimately require surgical excision of that excess rather than, or in addition to, an energy-based treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For patients in the mild-to-moderate laxity range, however, FaceTite can produce a genuinely meaningful improvement in definition and contour without visible scars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 .45em; font-weight: bold; color: #3a6e3a;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/>Dr. Karibe&#8217;s Note<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"border-left: 4px solid #5a8a5a; padding: .75em 1.1em; margin: 1.8em 0; background: #f7fbf7; border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0; font-size: .93em;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #333; line-height: 1.7;\">Many of our international patients who enquire about FaceTite are surprised to learn that the procedure is as much about skin tightening as it is about fat reduction. On the face, the volume of fat being removed is often modest \u2014 what patients are really seeking is the structural lift and definition that comes from collagen contraction and remodelling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #333; line-height: 1.7;\">Selecting the right patient for this technology, versus recommending a surgical approach or a combination protocol, is the most important clinical decision we make in the consultation room.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>What People Often Get Wrong About FaceTite<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Misconception 1: FaceTite is a non-surgical treatment.<\/strong> This is a common mischaracterisation in consumer media. FaceTite is minimally invasive, but it is not non-surgical. It requires tumescent local anaesthesia (a dilute anaesthetic solution injected into the treatment area), one or more small incisions through which the internal probe is introduced, and carries the same general infection and bruising risks associated with any procedure that breaches the skin. Patients should approach it with the same diligence they would apply to any minor surgical procedure \u2014 including a full consultation, medical history review, and post-procedure care commitment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Misconception 2: Results appear immediately and are permanent.<\/strong> The immediate visible change after FaceTite largely reflects the mechanical action of fat removal and early collagen contraction. The full remodelling benefit takes three to six months to manifest. Additionally, FaceTite does not halt the natural ageing process. The neocollagenesis it stimulates is a long-lasting improvement, but patients who continue to gain weight, experience significant hormonal changes, or age considerably over time will still experience progressive facial change. Maintenance treatments \u2014 or adjunct procedures \u2014 may be appropriate years down the line.<\/p>\n<h2>FaceTite vs. Comparable Facial Contouring Treatments: A Comparison<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"margin: 1.5em 0;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 8px;\" title=\"FaceTite Tokyo: RF-assisted lipolysis for facial c \u2014 FaceTite vs. Comparable Facial Contouring Treatments: A Comp\" src=\"https:\/\/kojihifu.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels_7446659_1784604257.webp\" alt=\"FaceTite Tokyo: RF-assisted lipolysis for facial c \u2014 FaceTite vs. Comparable Facial Contouring Treatments: A Comp\" \/><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Understanding how FaceTite relates to other available modalities helps patients and their physicians select the most appropriate approach.

Both HIFU and Morpheus8 RF microneedling are available at <strong>BIOTOPE CLINIC and Kojimachi Dermatology &amp; Plastic Surgery Clinic<\/strong> \u2014 feel free to ask about these options during a consultation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Cost of FaceTite in Tokyo<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"margin: 1.5em 0;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 8px;\" title=\"FaceTite Tokyo: RF-assisted lipolysis for facial c \u2014 Cost of FaceTite in Tokyo\" src=\"https:\/\/kojihifu.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels_7789649_1784604258.webp\" alt=\"FaceTite Tokyo: RF-assisted lipolysis for facial c \u2014 Cost of FaceTite in Tokyo\" \/><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p>FaceTite pricing in Japan varies considerably depending on the extent of the treatment area, the clinical setting, the experience of the physician, and whether the procedure is combined with complementary treatments on the same day. As a general reference, patients enquiring at Tokyo clinics should anticipate fees in the region of <strong>\u00a5300,000 to \u00a5700,000<\/strong> for a standard facial contouring session covering the jowls, jawline, and submentum. Broader treatment areas or combination sessions with complementary modalities will increase the total.<\/p>\n<p>Anaesthesia fees should also be factored into the total. For context, at Kojimachi Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Clinic, anaesthesia costs for surgical and minimally invasive procedures range from \u00a52,200 to \u00a577,000 depending on the type and duration. Pre-operative blood work, required for safety clearance, is priced at \u00a511,000. These ancillary fees are standard across responsible clinical settings in Tokyo and should always be included when comparing quotations.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that some clinics offer related fat-reduction treatments \u2014 such as surgical cheek and jawline liposuction \u2014 at \u00a5280,000 per area, and thread lift procedures at \u00a548,000 per thread. For patients whose primary concern is contouring without significant skin laxity, these may represent a more cost-efficient pathway worth discussing with the treating physician.<\/p>\n<p>For an accurate quote, we recommend booking a consultation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kjmc-en-booking-inline\" style=\"background: #f7fbf7; border: 1px solid #d5e6d8; border-radius: 10px; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 26px 0; text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; color: #1a3a1f; font-size: 0.95em; line-height: 1.65;\"><strong>Have a question about this treatment?<\/strong><br \/>\nMessage us on LINE or WhatsApp \u2014 our English-speaking team usually replies the same day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1;\"><a style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: center; gap: 8px; background: #06C755; color: #fff; padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 8px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.92em; margin: 4px 6px; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: middle;\" href=\"https:\/\/line.me\/R\/ti\/p\/@710uitns?ts=05311801&amp;oat_content=url#~\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Book via LINE<\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: center; gap: 8px; background: #25D366; color: #fff; padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 8px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.92em; margin: 4px 6px; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: middle;\" href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VbCA1v85K3zY4MLX2a1h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Message on WhatsApp<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What to Expect: Before, During, and After FaceTite<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"margin: 1.5em 0;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 8px;\" title=\"FaceTite Tokyo: RF-assisted lipolysis for facial c \u2014 What to Expect: Before, During, and After FaceTite\" src=\"https:\/\/kojihifu.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels_32705765_1784604258.webp\" alt=\"FaceTite Tokyo: RF-assisted lipolysis for facial c \u2014 What to Expect: Before, During, and After FaceTite\" \/><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the Procedure<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A thorough consultation is the essential first step. The physician will review the patient&#8217;s medical history, assess skin quality and fat distribution in the target area, and discuss whether FaceTite is the most appropriate tool \u2014 or whether an alternative, such as surgical liposuction, a thread lift, or a non-invasive energy treatment, might serve the patient better. Pre-operative blood work is standard and required for patient safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients are typically advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, high-dose vitamin E, and fish oil) for a period specified by their physician \u2014 commonly one to two weeks before the procedure. Smokers are strongly encouraged to cease or significantly reduce smoking for at least two to four weeks prior to treatment, as nicotine impairs microcirculation and wound healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the Procedure<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tumescent local anaesthesia is infiltrated into the treatment area before the RF probe is introduced through a small incision, typically 2\u20133mm in length, positioned in a discreet location such as beneath the chin or in the natural crease behind the earlobe. The physician then guides the internal electrode through the subcutaneous tissue while monitoring the device&#8217;s real-time temperature readout. Patients are awake throughout and may feel warmth and mild pressure, but should not experience significant pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A single session addressing the jawline, jowls, and submentum typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes. If additional areas are included, the duration extends accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the Procedure: Recovery Timeline<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling and bruising are the most common post-procedure findings and are expected. A compression garment is typically worn around the lower face and neck for a minimum of one week \u2014 often two to three weeks \u2014 to support even contraction of the treated tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our clinical experience at <strong>BIOTOPE CLINIC and Kojimachi Dermatology &amp; Plastic Surgery Clinic,<\/strong> international patients planning a visit to Tokyo for a procedure of this nature should budget a minimum of ten to fourteen days before flying, both to allow the most dramatic early swelling to resolve and to attend a post-operative review with the treating physician. Full resolution of deeper swelling and the emergence of the final remodelling result typically takes three to six months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Days 1\u20135:<\/strong> Peak swelling and bruising. Rest advised. Compression garment worn continuously.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Days 5\u201314:<\/strong> Visible improvement in swelling. Many patients can return to desk-based work after the first week, provided they are comfortable with some residual bruising or are able to cover it with makeup (if approved by the physician).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weeks 3\u20136:<\/strong> Majority of swelling resolved. Early contouring results visible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Months 3\u20136:<\/strong> Final collagen remodelling result becomes apparent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Is a Good Candidate for FaceTite?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ideal FaceTite candidate is generally an adult in good overall health who has mild-to-moderate subcutaneous fat deposits in the lower face and neck, alongside some degree of skin laxity that would benefit from the tightening stimulus the technology provides. The procedure tends to produce the most visibly proportionate outcomes in patients who are at or close to a stable, healthy body weight \u2014 not as a weight-loss tool, but as a contouring procedure for localised fat that has not responded to lifestyle measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who tend to achieve the best outcomes are typically aged approximately 35 to 65, with good baseline skin elasticity (some residual collagen reserve), early jowling, submental fullness, or early neck laxity. Skin that is too significantly sun-damaged, or that has already lost the majority of its elastic tissue, may not respond as robustly to the collagen-stimulating component of the treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Should Consider an Alternative Approach?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients with severe skin laxity \u2014 where redundant skin would remain even after fat removal and maximal collagen contraction \u2014 are typically better served by surgical intervention, such as a lower face and neck lift with skin excision. FaceTite cannot remove excess skin; it can only encourage existing skin to contract around a reduced volume of subcutaneous tissue. Patients with unrealistic expectations about the degree of change achievable, or those whose skin elasticity is severely compromised, will often be directed toward a different treatment pathway.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individuals with certain medical conditions \u2014 including active skin infections in the treatment area, implantable electronic devices such as pacemakers (which can be affected by RF fields), blood coagulation disorders, or uncontrolled diabetes \u2014 are typically not suitable candidates. A full medical history review during the consultation will identify any such contraindications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/>Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<dl class=\"kj-faq\">\n<dt>Q. Is FaceTite painful?<\/dt>\n<dd>The procedure is performed under tumescent local anaesthesia, so the treatment itself should not be significantly painful. Patients typically report feeling warmth and pressure during the session. Post-procedure discomfort in the first few days is generally manageable with over-the-counter analgesics such as paracetamol, and most patients describe it as mild to moderate soreness rather than acute pain.<\/dd>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<dt>Q. How many FaceTite sessions are needed?<\/dt>\n<dd>In the majority of cases, a single FaceTite session produces the intended result, as the fat removal component is not repeated and the collagen remodelling follows from that single intervention. However, depending on individual response and the extent of the area treated, some patients may benefit from a complementary non-invasive treatment \u2014 such as HIFU or RF microneedling \u2014 to extend and enhance results over time. This would be discussed at a follow-up consultation.<\/dd>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<dt>Q. How long do FaceTite results last?<\/dt>\n<dd>The fat cells removed during FaceTite do not regenerate in that location, meaning the structural reduction in volume is long-lasting. The collagen induced by the procedure typically provides a meaningful improvement for two to five years, depending on the individual&#8217;s rate of ageing, weight stability, and lifestyle factors. The procedure does not halt ongoing facial ageing, and patients should expect to age naturally beyond the point of their treatment.<\/dd>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<dt>Q. Is FaceTite suitable for Asian skin types?<\/dt>\n<dd>RF-based treatments in general carry a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin after trauma or heat) compared with certain laser modalities, making them a clinically appropriate option for a broad range of Fitzpatrick skin types, including types III through V commonly seen among patients of East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian heritage. Individual assessment is always required, as skin type is only one of several factors the physician considers. This is a topic worth raising directly during the consultation.<\/dd>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<dt>Q. Can FaceTite be combined with other treatments?<\/dt>\n<dd>Yes, combination approaches are common and can be planned strategically. FaceTite addresses subdermal fat and deeper collagen; it is frequently combined with treatments targeting the superficial dermis (such as RF microneedling with Morpheus8), injectables (hyaluronic acid filler for volume restoration or Botox for dynamic lines), or structural repositioning (such as thread lifting). A staged approach \u2014 allowing the primary procedure to heal fully before adding complementary treatments \u2014 is generally preferred over performing everything simultaneously, unless specifically planned by an experienced physician.<\/dd>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<dt>Q. Is FaceTite available in English at Tokyo clinics?<\/dt>\n<dd>Access to English-language consultations varies between clinics.
