AccuTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency to tighten and contour facial areas. With local anesthesia, it’s well-tolerated and has minimal downtime. Dr. Snehal Amin at MDCS Dermatology provides expert, personalized care.

If you're exploring non-surgical options for tightening loose skin and contouring small facial areas, AccuTite may be the perfect fit. At MDCS Dermatology, Snehal Amin, MD, FACMS, FAAD offers this minimally invasive treatment to deliver impressive skin-tightening results—without the downtime of surgery.

What Is AccuTite?

AccuTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to target small areas like the lower eyelids, jowls, smile lines, and jawline. It works by delivering controlled heat under the skin to contract tissue and stimulate collagen production.

Is AccuTite Painful?

Patients often describe AccuTite as more comfortable than expected. Here’s why:

  • Local Anesthesia: Before treatment begins, a local anesthetic is applied to numb the area and minimize discomfort.

  • Minimal Sensation: Most patients feel only slight pressure or warmth during the procedure—not pain.

  • Post-Treatment Comfort: Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness can occur, but symptoms are typically short-lived and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Recovery and Downtime

Unlike traditional surgery, AccuTite has a shorter recovery period. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days. You may experience:

  • Mild swelling or bruising

  • Tightness or tenderness

  • Results that improve over several weeks as collagen remodeling occurs
