EmbraceRF Non-Surgical Radiofrequency Procedures
FaceTite, AccuTite, Morpheus8 | Face and Neck Rejuvenation
If you’d like to improve the appearance of your face and neck but aren’t quite ready for a facelift, the suite of EmbraceRF procedures available from Dr. Susan Tan at Hawaii Facial Plastic Surgery could be perfect for you. It includes FaceTite, AccuTite, and Morpheus8, all of which are minimally invasive and take advantage of advanced technology.
EmbraceRF enables radio-frequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL) for facial contouring, neck lifts, and skin tightening. Specifically, it can restore a youthful look to the face and neck, reduce excess fat, tighten the skin, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Are you ready to look more youthful and refreshed?
Patients love EmbraceRF procedures because there’s minimal discomfort, no scarring, and very little downtime. They are a non-surgical face and neck lift and one of the most talked-about recent developments in cosmetic procedures available from plastic surgeons.
What is FaceTite?
FaceTite improves the lower face, jawline, and chin. It uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to soften underlying fat, allows targeted liposuction, and tightens the skin. It’s excellent for reducing double chins, restoring definition to the jawline, and tightening mildly saggy skin.
What is AccuTite?
AccuTite, also sometimes referred to as Baby FaceTite, has a more precise focus that’s well suited to removing fine lines and wrinkles. It’s most commonly used to treat smile lines and fine lines around the eyes.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 combines RF technology with microneedling for expanded capabilities. It also can smooth fine lines and wrinkles and firm the skin, including the eyelids. Other uses include reducing the size of large pores and treating melasma (hyperpigmentation) and acne scars.
What Can I Improve with Face and Neck Tightening Procedures?
One of the things patients appreciate the most about FaceTite and AccuTite is how many things they can correct and improve. In the hands of a skilled facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Tan, with accomplished aesthetic abilities, you can expect the maximum benefit and natural-looking results
- Reduce or eliminate double chins
- Recontour the Lower Face and Jawline
- Eliminate fine lines and wrinkles
- Smooth the skin and reduce discoloration
These procedures are an excellent way to rejuvenate your facial appearance gently. Radiofrequency treatment also stimulates the underlying collagen and elastin for long-term improvement.
How Do FaceTite and AccuTite Work?
FaceTite and AccuTite are radio-frequency lipolysis (RFAL) procedures, which means they work by heating the skin’s lower dermis layer, primarily composed of collagen. The heat liquifies and breaks down fat, naturally stimulating a healing response to trigger new collagen production.
They facilitate adipose remodeling of the face, which means fatty deposits in the lower face and neck are strategically molded and any excess removed; it augments the jawline and rejuvenates the neck. The advantage is that patients retain the fullness required for a youthful look while tightening the neck and jowl skin.

What are the Advantages?
Radiofrequency-assisted procedures like these are FDA-cleared facial rejuvenation methods. They expand the options available to patients who want to reduce excess fat and tighten skin. They allow plastic surgeons to sculpt and contour the face and neck and achieve significant results without invasive surgical procedures.
What is Recovery Like?
Downtime after a non-surgical facelift or neck procedure using radio-frequency methods is minimal. There’s also no scarring or general anesthesia. Patients experience only minimal discomfort, and it’s not a long wait before you can resume normal daily activities.
Am I a Good Candidate for FaceTite or AccuTite?
The ideal candidate for these procedures has early jowling, mild to moderate skin laxity, and submental fullness (a double chin). As mentioned earlier, most patients for whom these methods work best want to see an improvement but don’t yet need a facelift.
Commonly, candidates are in their 40s or 50s, but people of other ages may qualify, especially if the goal is to remove or reduce a double chin. When you see a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon in Honolulu like Dr. Tan, you’ll receive a complete explanation of your options. She is well-regarded for procedures like “weekend facelifts” and other non-surgical face and neck improvements.
The FaceTite procedure can be combined with liposuction or the RF microneedling Morpheus8 procedure to produce even more effective (and noticeable) results.
There are significant advantages to having liposuction with FaceTite instead of having it alone. The RF energy breaks down and melts pockets of fat under the skin that liposuction can more quickly and precisely remove.
Do Non-Surgical Facelifts Really Work?
Non-surgical facelifts can be impressive when advanced techniques are used. They produce natural-looking results that are longer lasting, depending on how quickly your skin ages. You’ll enjoy minimal downtime and a scar-free procedure that makes you look refreshed and youthful.
One of the most beneficial aspects of FaceTite is its ability to improve your lower face and chin in multiple ways. Using other methods might require several procedures to achieve the same effect you have with a single one.
Why is This Kind of Neck Lifting Effective?
The ability of radiofrequency-assisted methods to achieve a minimally invasive, non-surgical neck lift is exceptional. It facilitates the break-up and removal of excess fat, is sometimes combined with liposuction, and allows a recontouring of the neck and jawline with excellent results.
Morpheus8: What are the Benefits?
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. The FDA-cleared technology is a subdermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) that can be used on the face and body. In simpler words, it uses ultra-fine needs to deliver RF energy to the skin. It stimulates the body’s natural healing response to resurface and firm the skin through new collagen and elastin production.
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Tightens the skin; can be used on eyelids
- Improves textures and narrows large pores
- Treats acne scars, rosacea, discolored areas, stretch marks, and cellulite
The microneedling aspect of Morpheus8 not only enhances its effectiveness but also expands how it can be used. It’s notable for its skin resurfacing capabilities and the ability to be used in sensitive areas like the eyelids.
