Consultations Available in Brisbane FaceTite Brisbane

FaceTite uses radiofrequency energy to deliver thermal energy to the subdermal tissues. The device consists of an internal electrode (a fine cannula) and an external electrode that work together to monitor and regulate heat. This dual-polar mechanism allows the operator to target localised adipose tissue while coagulating small blood vessels and heating the surrounding connective tissue.

The procedure is most often considered for areas such as the lower face, jawline, and submental region. Each procedure is performed within a licensed clinical setting in accordance with applicable standards for energy-based devices.

What to Expect

Before The Procedure

A detailed consultation with Dr Scott Allison includes reviewing medical history, medications, and previous procedures. He will evaluate the lower facial anatomy, skin elasticity, and fat distribution to determine if FaceTite is an appropriate option.

During The Procedure

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. A small entry point is made to allow insertion of the device cannula.
The FaceTite handpiece emits controlled radiofrequency energy, which heats the underlying tissue while aspirating liquefied fat through a suction mechanism. Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area but generally lasts 45–90 minutes.

After The Procedure

Following the procedure, compression garments may be recommended to support tissue recovery and manage swelling. Temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising are expected. Dr Allison provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up appointments to monitor healing.

Potential Risks and Considerations

As with all minimally invasive procedures, risks may include:

• Localised swelling or bruising

• Temporary numbness

• Discomfort or tenderness

• Infection at incision sites

• Irregular contour or skin texture

• Rarely, burns or nerve irritation

Following aftercare instructions and wearing compression garments as advised can assist in managing recovery. Results and recovery vary based on individual anatomy, age, and health. Visit our Risks and Complications page for more information.

Suitable candidates

FaceTite may be appropriate for individuals seeking a less invasive facial contouring procedure who have mild to moderate skin laxity or localised fat deposits in the lower face or neck. Candidates must be in good general health.
Suitability is determined after a medical consultation with Dr Scott Allison.

Your consultation with Dr Scott Allison

Dr Scott Allison provides individualised consultations to discuss your goals, anatomy, and treatment expectations. He will explain the procedure, potential risks, anticipated recovery, and aftercare requirements. All costs, garment needs, and follow-up appointments are detailed prior to treatment.

All medical procedures carry inherent risks, which are discussed in detail before treatment. Potential side effects and aftercare will be outlined during your consultation and available to read on our Risks and Complications page to ensure you can make an informed decision.
