Embrace-RF – A Novel Facial Contouring Solution

An increasing number of people seeking anti-aging skin treatments in NYC now want minimally-invasive options that don’t involve long recovery times. Radio-frequency assisted Embrace-RF facial contouring is a unique solution that meets these needs, providing natural-looking results by blending FaceTite and Morpheus8. The procedure offers a quick and efficient way to address skin laxity and excess fat accumulation in the lower face and neck area.

What is Embrace-RF Facial Contouring?

Embrace-RF is a technology that combines FaceTite and Morpheus8, an FDA approved Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD).

FaceTite uses RFAL (radiofrequency-assisted liposuction) to address excess fat deposits as well as skin laxity on the face and neck. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that combines microneedling with gentle RF energy. It is also one of the best collagen stimulation treatments.  It works beneath the surface of your skin to boost collagen and elastin, helping to tighten loose skin, smooth wrinkles and scars, and improve your skin’s texture and tone for a more youthful look.

Embrace-RF RF-assisted facial contouring is ideal for early to moderate signs of aging, such as mild sagging in the jawline and neck, slight jowls, and wrinkles. The technology allows the plastic surgeon to strategically “mold” facial fat and treat laxity to provide naturally-looking outcomes.

Embrace-RF vs a Traditional Facelift

A surgical facelift is an invasive procedure that involves repositioning of deeper facial tissues, fat, and skin to provide a dramatic lift.

Embrace-RF offers a minimally invasive alternative to a traditional lift. It uses RF energy to heat and tighten the skin and underlying tissues, without large incisions, stitches, or lengthy downtime.

When performed by an expert, Embrace-RF for sagging skin and a double chin provides results similar to a surgical facelift in NYC – without the incisions or scars.

Benefits of Embrace-RF for Facial Contouring

For the right candidate, this advanced cosmetic facial contouring treatment offers many benefits:

• Minimally invasive – no cuts, stitches, or scars.
• Quick treatment – usually takes about 45 minutes, with only a short 1–2 day recovery.
• Convenient – done in the clinic under local anesthesia, no hospital stay needed.
• Works on multiple layers – targets both the surface and deeper tissues for better results.
• Neck and jowl tightening – helps lift and firm sagging skin in the lower face.
• Neck and jawline definition – improves the contour of the jaw and refreshes the neck area.
• Better skin tone – creates smoother, healthier-looking skin.
• Natural-looking results – keeps your face’s natural fullness while enhancing shape.
• Advanced contouring – improves facial definition for a younger appearance.
• Fast and continual improvement – results can be seen right away and continue to get better with time.
• Even treatment – provides consistent results across the treated areas.
• Long-term benefits – results are designed to last.

The technology has built-in safety features, such as monitoring skin temperature in real time and automatically adjusting or stopping if needed. You’ll also hear gentle alerts during the process, all designed to keep the procedure safe and comfortable.

Are You a Good Candidate?

Not everyone is the right fit for this treatment. It’s best suited for people with skin laxity in the lower face and neck, with or without extra fat.  You may benefit from this treatment if you have:

• Wrinkles on the face and neck – As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to lines and wrinkles. Morpheus8 and FaceTite/AccuTite use gentle radiofrequency energy to stimulate new collagen, helping smooth out wrinkles and refresh your skin for a more youthful look.
• Stubborn fat in the neck or face – Areas like the chin, jawline, or folds around the mouth often don’t improve with diet and exercise alone. FaceTite/AccuTite with Embrace-RF can reduce these fat pockets and refine your facial contours.
• Mild to moderate skin sagging – By encouraging collagen renewal, this procedure tightens and strengthens skin, improving elasticity. It works well for age-related or post-surgical skin laxity.

This RF-assisted procedure is designed to help patients in the “treatment gap” – people whose skin is not loose enough to need a facelift, but not firm enough for liposuction alone. It provides noticeable results without the need for major surgery. It’s especially suitable for:

• Sideline Patients – Those who could be facelift candidates but prefer to avoid surgery because of concerns about scarring or general anesthesia.
• Facelift Maintenance Patients – People who have already had a facelift but are noticing early signs of jowling or neck laxity, and are not yet ready for another facelift.

However, if you have severely loose skin, a facelift or neck lift may be the more effective option.

Recovery Time after Embrace-RF Treatment

Recovery time is short, though it can vary based on individual considerations. Some bruising, swelling, and tenderness in the treated areas is to be expected, which will subside over time. Results are visible immediately, with best results seen after 6 weeks, and continuing to improve up to 12 months. Having a clear idea of the recovery process helps patients feel more confident and comfortable.
