My experience with Dr. Darren Smith and his staff made it obvious that I should never consider another plastic surgeon! I had several consultations with other cosmetic surgeons for a breast lift procedure before making the indisputable choice to go with Dr. Darren Smith.

“Dr. Smith and his team are absolutely amazing! I had a breast lift ten days ago, and they exceeded every single expectation throughout the entire process. I was really scared at first, but everyone was super knowledgeable, confident, and caring, and they were there to support me at all times. I would recommend Dr. Smith a billion times.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATIONUnderstanding FaceTite and AccuTite Procedures
FaceTite and AccuTite are treatments for facial contouring developed by InMode. Unlike traditional facelifts or major surgery, these procedures use precisely calibrated radiofrequency energy to tighten and lift skin in a minimally-invasive manner. By targeting deep skin layers, they effectively address signs of aging with minimal recovery.
Both treatments harness the skin’s natural response to radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production after the procedure. These techniques induce collagen formation, gradually and naturally improving skin laxity and generating meaningful changes that will keep them guessing..
The Science Behind the Treatment
To understand how these radiofrequency procedures produce dramatic yet natural results, it’s important to examine the molecular processes at play. Collagen is a structural protein crucial for skin elasticity and structure. As we age, the body’s natural collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and laxity.
FaceTite and AccuTite leverage radiofrequency (RF) energy to spur collagen synthesis in the dermis. RF heating prompts fibroblasts to generate new collagen fibers, gradually tightening and firming loose skin over time after the procedure.
Elastin, another significant protein, also diminishes with age—contributing to sagging. While collagen stimulation is the primary aim, these treatments may also support elastin regeneration to some degree. Together, induced elastin and collagen remodeling naturally lifts and contours skin.
Procedure Details
To have a clear understanding of what to expect before, during, and after a FaceTite or AccuTite treatment, here are the key steps involved in the procedure:
Before the Actual Procedure
- Patients are asked to avoid blood thinning medications if possible for one week prior
- A consultation is held in advance to determine if the patient is a good candidate and discuss expectations or concerns
- As these treatments are generally performed under local anesthesia, you can have a lite meal beforehand
- Any necessary medical history forms are completed upon arrival
- We will review your treatment plan
During the Treatment Session
- Dr. Smith carefully cleanses and preps the treatment areas
- We will carefully map out customized treatment zones
- Numbing medicine is instilled into the treatment area
- A handheld radiofrequency applicator is positioned just under the surface of the skin
- In a sweeping motion, the doctor slowly delivers controlled RF pulses to targeted depths
- Patients may feel slight warming sensations which are soothed with numbing agents
- Treatment time depends on the number and size of zones but typically takes 30-60 minutes
Post-Procedure
- Depending on sensitivity, patients may feel mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for 2-4 days
- Arnica gels or creams are often prescribed to reduce inflammation and bruise-like effects
- Strenuous activity should be avoided for 10-14 days but patients are encouraged to keep moving and stay hydrated from the first day. Light exercise may be resumed in 4-5 days.Makeup can be reapplied after 3-5 days once the skin returns to normal appearance
- Early results are generally visible at 1 month but final results are mostly visible by approximately 3 months.
- Results continue to improve for up to one year after the initial treatment
Benefits of FaceTite and AccuTite
FaceTite and AccuTite offer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional invasive procedures. They effectively address an array of common aesthetic concerns without the scars or downtime of more traditional procedures. This approach is not right for everyone, however, and Dr. Darren Smith will help you weigh your options..
Address various concerns
Double chins, marionette lines, eyelid hooding, and jowls respond well to these treatments’ contouring effects.
Improvement in skin laxity and appearance
By stimulating deep collagen and elastin production, patients enjoy noticeably tighter, brighter skin with reduced wrinkling over various facial regions.
Natural-looking results without scars
These minimally invasive techniques yield subtle, youthful results absent the long scars and extended recovery of facelifts and other traditional procedures. RF energy shapes gently and gradually for a pleasing organic appearance.
Minimal downtime
Patients resume normal activities swiftly, as procedures require no general anesthesia or major recovery. For properly selected patients, these procedures offer big results despite their minimal downtime and comfortable recovery.
Recovery and Post-treatment Care
Given their minimally-invasive nature, FaceTite and AccuTite allow recovery to progress in a matter of days rather than weeks. Some minor swelling, tenderness, or bruising may arise but generally subsides quickly with proper care.
We advise our patients to:
- Initially wear a compression garment to comfortably support the treatment area while mitigating residual swelling or soreness.
- Sleep with head elevated to encourage rapid resolution of swelling.
- Adapt an individualized skincare regimen to restore the complexion’s glow. This may involve special cleansers, protective creams, and SPF to nourish remodeling in a protected environment.
- Resume light exercise activities within a couple of days.
Collagen and elastin production in response to RF stimulation are the basis for the results we can achieve with these procedures. Early results tend to show at approximately one month with the majority of the final result visible at 3 months..

BROW LIFT UNDER LOCAL ANESTHESIA WITH ACCUTITE
This gentleman is having a minimally invasive brow lift under local anesthesia with AccuTite to get rid of that “tired” or “angry” look. This groundbreaking technology allows us to precisely deposit radiofrequency energy to tighten and tone the brow, eyelids, midface, jawline, and neck. The incision is 1-2mm long and you can be back at work in a day or two.
CHIN/ JAWLINE WITH ACCUTITE
AccuTite is one of the most advanced skin tightening technologies on the market. This minimally invasive device (see the needle-sized entry in the second frame) allows for precise radio frequency treatment of the most cosmetically sensitive areas. Because only a needle-hole is necessary for placement, there are virtually no signs of having had the procedure performed. Great for eyelids, midface, jowls, jawline and chin when you may not be ready for a more invasive surgical procedure.
EYELID WITH ACCUTITE
If you have excess eyelid skin but don’t want a full blepharoplasty (eyelift), Accutite is a great minimally invasive option. This new technology uses precisely targeted bipolar radiofrequency energy to tighten lax skin in the area. This procedure is being shown here with local anesthesia alone. Aside from a little swelling, you can get back to work in a day or two. Also great for jowls and double chins!
