Am I An Ideal Candidate For NeckTite™?
The ideal candidate for NeckTite™ in Atlanta is in good general health and a non-smoker. Additionally, it is important that candidates have realistic expectations for the results of their NeckTite™ procedure. During your consultation for NeckTite™, Dr. Killingsworth and his staff of plastic surgery professionals will review your health history, your degree of aging, and your aesthetic goals to determine if you are an ideal candidate for NeckTite™.
If you are experiencing loose neck skin, jowls, fine lines and wrinkles, and more, NeckTite™ may be right for you. NeckTite™ offers a minimally invasive approach to traditional neck lift, making it an ideal option for patients who do not wish to undergo a surgical procedure.
What Should I Expect During NeckTite™?
Because NeckTite™ is minimally invasive, it can be performed in-office and does not require general anesthesia. Before the NeckTite™ treatment begins, patients will be administered a local anesthetic or a topical numbing agent to ensure they remain safe and comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Once the patient is sufficiently numbed, a small electrode is placed above the target area on the surface of the skin. Next, small incisions are made, and a specialized cannula is inserted below the surface of the skin.
The revolutionary NeckTite™ technology machine delivers radiofrequency energy to the designated treatment areas using the electrode and cannula. Unlike past skin tightening techniques, NeckTite™ transmits bipolar energy that is carefully directed to the desired areas, heating the site from the inside out and resulting in more precise treatment. Energy from the NeckTite™ machine results in the contraction of the initial layers of skin, as well as underlying tissues. NeckTite™ can also remove small pockets of fat to further enhance neck contours, if necessary.
What Should I Expect After NeckTite™?
Following the NeckTite™ procedure, there may be some mild bruising or swelling. However, these symptoms are normal and should subside in the days following the procedure. Most patients report experiencing little-to-no discomfort after the procedure. If necessary, any discomfort can be treated with over-the-counter medications. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, patients are not required to take any extended downtime.
