Facial aging progressively leads to wrinkles and creases around the eyes and mouth, sagging cheeks, and jowls. For men and women who desire a less involved and minimally invasive option for neck and facial rejuvenation, Dr. Alexander S. Donath specializes in treatments like FaceTite at his Cincinnati office. FaceTite by InMode uses minimally invasive technology and radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production.
FaceTite by InMode is an advanced contouring treatment that safely firms and contours loose skin on the face and neck. Radiofrequency (RF) energy melts excess fat, firms and tightens the skin, and stimulates the production of collagen to activate facial rejuvenation. FaceTite provides natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing results in a subtler way than those achieved with cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Donath may recommend FaceTite for men or women with facial laxity and excess fullness in the jowl and neck area who desire minimal downtime and aren’t ready for traditional facelift surgery. FaceTite is a promising, FDA-approved, non-surgical option for men and women who want to noticeably tighten mild to moderately lax skin and excess fat on their lower face and neck. FaceTite is an excellent alternative to facelift cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Donath examines each patient and reviews their health history to determine if FaceTite is the best treatment option during a private consultation in Cincinnati, OH. He may recommend a LuxeLiftsm, mini-facelift, midface lift, or a neck lift for patients with advanced signs of aging or more significant amounts of loose skin, fat, and tissue.
A good candidate for FaceTite facial rejuvenation is healthy and desires anti-aging results without undergoing facelift surgery. Dr. Donath creates a customized FaceTite treatment for approved candidates that gently tightens the skin with excellent precision on even the most sensitive areas of the face and neck.
FaceTite is a minimally-invasive procedure that provides outstanding, skin tightening results with a small incision, and without full sedation or a lengthy recovery. Dr. Donath typically performs the FaceTite procedure under local anesthesia with sedation. There are no scars, and bandaging is not needed. Liposuction is sometimes included in the treatment for enhanced neck or chin contouring.
Dr. Donath creates a small incision in the skin at the edge of the jaw, below the ear, which will not leave a significant scar after healing. He inserts a thin probe under the skin to provide thermal energy to the underlying tissues of the face. He then places an external electrode over the outer surface. The probe and electrode work together to create a thermal field that simultaneously targets the skin’s inner and outer layers for a comprehensive treatment.
Dr. Donath slowly moves the FaceTite device along the jawline to liquefy the fat and stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. The uniform heat distribution provides even and smooth results. The entire procedure takes approximately one hour.
“They are truly the best!”
Dr. Donath is amazing. He was so patient and took his time explaining everything and answering all my questions. He is very conservative, which I love. He did such an amazing job and I didn’t end up looking like a freak! His staff are the best too! They responded to emails ASAP. What was the best was that Dr. Donath replies to my texts immediately, even on the weekends! They are truly the best!
Dr. Donath provides complete recovery and post-procedure instructions during the consultation. Patients return home after the outpatient procedure. A compression garment is typically worn for a short time as the skin adjusts to the treatment. Patients can expect tenderness and some swelling for about a week after the procedure. Patients typically resume regular activity within the first three days.
Improvements are seen shortly after completing FaceTite, and progressive changes in the appearance and texture of the skin continue to evolve for six months to one year after the treatment.

Why choose Dr. Donath — Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Donath provides each patient with aftercare instructions and guidelines for returning to work during the initial consultation. FaceTite patients typically return to work in approximately three days. There may be some initial swelling, soreness, and bruising, but this is commonly drastically reduced within the first week.
Compression wrappings, which reduce potential swelling, provide comfort, and encourage excellent results are typically worn for the first few days and then while sleeping during the initial recovery phase. Patients typically resume regular activities within 48 hours, although visible swelling may be experienced for three to five days.
FaceTite is one of the safest facial rejuvenation treatments available. It does not require muscle repositioning, general anesthesia, or extensive downtime, so there are fewer overall potential complications than with cosmetic surgery.
The radiofrequency technology utilized during the FaceTite treatment is similar to that used in medical scans and MRIs. The procedure addresses delicate areas of skin without damaging sensitive tissue. It does cause some swelling and bruising, but these effects are temporary.
Some side effects or risks may include mild skin burns and numbness from bruised nerves, which typically resolves within four to eight weeks depending on the extent of the treatment. Nerve damage is rare but possible. Dr. Donath is an experienced plastic surgeon with many years of experience, and he will explain the potential risks during the private consultation.
FaceTite results may vary, but patients typically experience significantly improved contours, reduced fat, enhanced facial symmetry, and tighter, younger-looking skin, within days after their treatment. FaceTite benefits will also continue to manifest for several months after the procedure as the body produces new collagen and the skin experiences continued revitalization and rejuvenation.
FaceTite results are significant and are an excellent alternative to a surgical procedure. Skin laxity is improved after the recovery and will continue to improve for several months. The results often last up to five years with limited sun exposure.
FaceTite will not address significant excess fat in the neck or jowl area but may be combined with liposuction to provide additional contouring. Liposuction combined with FaceTite will permanently remove deposits of fat under the chin and along the neck.
FaceTite is beneficial for adult patients of any age. FaceTite is especially popular among middle-aged patients who are not ready for cosmetic surgery and want to reduce signs of aging and experience skin tightening without general anesthesia, a longer incision, , and a more lengthy recovery.
Ideal candidates for the FaceTite minimally invasive procedure have minimal to moderate sagging or loose skin on their face or neck. The treatment is a safe, non-surgical option for tightening the skin and is useful for anyone who desires to reduce signs of aging.
Dr. Donath discusses different treatment options during the private consultation. FaceTite is sometimes combined with injectable fillers or neck liposuction.
FaceTite is a non-surgical treatment, which does not leave any significant scars. Tiny puncture incisions are created along the jawline, below the ear, but these small incisions heal without the need for stitches and will not leave a noticeable scar.
FaceTite provides significant improvements with only one treatment. The results continue to improve and develop six months after the surgery because it stimulates the production of collagen, a natural component of healthy, youthful skin.
Although FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure, there are some ways that you should prepare. You will need to schedule a few days off from work to provide time to recover.
Smoking slows down healing, so you should consider quitting. Certain medications that thin the blood should be avoided two weeks before the treatment, including aspirin, Motrin, and some herbs and over-the-counter pain medications. Dr. Donath provides patients with a list of pre-treatment instructions during the private consultation.
FaceTite uses radiofrequency energy rather than cutting and pulling the skin. The RF energy targets fat deposits and sagging skin on the face and neck, and it stimulates the production of collagen.
The regeneration of collagen rolls back the effects of time and gravity. FaceTite is a non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift and an ideal way to tighten and rejuvenate loose and sagging skin without undergoing more invasive cosmetic surgery.
