Face and neck contouring · Dr Amy Chahal · Surry Hills
A more defined jawline or a firmer-looking neck starts with understanding what has changed. FaceTite is a minimally invasive radiofrequency procedure that may improve selected concerns about skin laxity and localised fullness. Dr Amy Chahal assesses your anatomy and goals to decide how it could fit your plan.

Consultations with Dr Amy: Focused Consultation $150 · Strategy Session $250. Consultation fees are not redeemable against treatment.
A thin cannula is introduced through a very small entry point and passed beneath the skin. Radiofrequency energy is delivered between that internal probe and an external electrode, heating the fibrous layer under the skin so it contracts, and reducing small pockets of fat where present.
FaceTite works beneath the skin, so it involves small entry points, local anaesthetic and a period of recovery. It differs from treatments applied through the skin surface; more invasive treatment is not automatically the better choice.
It does not excise excess skin like a surgical facelift. The contribution of skin laxity, fat and deeper tissue changes matters when choosing treatment. Significant excess skin or tissue descent may be better assessed by a surgeon.
FaceTite and AccuTite deliver radiofrequency beneath the skin through an internal probe. Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency microneedling. The treatment area, anatomy, skin quality and recovery you can accommodate all guide the choice.
| AccuTite | FaceTite | Morpheus8 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it works | Under the skin, small areas | Under the skin, larger areas | Through the skin, at chosen depths |
| Typical areas | Selected small areas, assessed individually | Jawline, jowls, neck, submental | Face, neck and body |
| Anaesthetic | Local | Local | Topical numbing |
| Downtime | Several days of swelling and bruising | Allow around a week initially; swelling may last longer. Compression as advised. | Variable; discuss the proposed settings and area |
| Degree of change | Targeted contouring in selected small areas | Potential improvement in selected laxity and contour concerns | Gradual firming and texture |
| Repeat | Usually once | Usually once | Often a course |
The right choice is the one that addresses your concern with an acceptable balance of benefit, recovery and risk. A consultation can also explore skincare, other treatments or referral. Read about Morpheus8.
Skin laxity · Volume loss after weight loss
FaceTite may suit selected patients seeking improvement in lower-face or neck contour. A consultation considers skin quality, fullness, previous treatment and expectations. It does not replace lost volume or deliver the same result as a facelift; referral may be more appropriate for substantial excess skin or tissue descent.
Your procedure fee is quoted in writing after assessment, based on the proposed area and plan. Ask what is included in the quote, including aftercare and review. The consultation is charged separately.
Choose a $150 Focused Consultation for a specific FaceTite question, or a $250 Strategy Session to consider several concerns and a longer-term roadmap. These consultation fees are not redeemable against treatment.
Possible risks include swelling, bruising, pain, altered sensation, firmness, asymmetry, contour irregularity, infection, burns and scarring. Nerve injury or weakness can also occur. Discuss the proposed procedure, individual risks and recovery before deciding.
Tell Dr Chahal about your medical history, medicines, previous procedures, healing problems and any implanted devices, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Treatment may need to be delayed or a different approach recommended.
All medical procedures carry risk, and individual results vary. Suitability is determined at assessment, not on the phone.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure involving small entry points and a probe beneath the skin. It is not a non-invasive facial treatment. It does not excise excess skin like a facelift, and it still requires consent, local anaesthetic and recovery.
Plan for a quieter first week, although swelling, bruising, firmness or altered sensation may last longer. Your practitioner will explain compression, wound care, exercise and when to return to your usual activities.
FaceTite is often planned as a single procedure. Further treatment is a decision made after reviewing your response, remaining concerns and risks, rather than an automatic course.
Changes develop over months and may persist, but the duration varies. Ageing and weight changes continue to affect your face. Review your individual response before deciding on maintenance or another procedure.
Local anaesthetic is used. You may still notice pressure or discomfort, and soreness or tightness can occur afterwards. Discuss pain relief and aftercare with your treating team.
It may improve selected laxity and contour concerns, but it does not remove excess skin or provide the same change as a surgical facelift. If your goals require a different approach, Dr Chahal can discuss referral.
A Focused Consultation with Dr Amy Chahal costs $150 and suits one concern. A Strategy Session costs $250 and suits a broader assessment and long-term plan. Both fees are separate from treatment and are not redeemable against it.
