Embrace RF Non-invasive Facelift in Chattanooga

Procedure Time 45 - 90 Minutes

Recovery Time 3 - 7 Days

Are you looking for amazing results that lead to beautiful, youthful, and rejuvenated skin, but aren't quite ready for a traditional surgical facelift? At Shire Facial Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer one of the first non-surgical facelifts in the region. By combining art, medicine, and the latest cutting-edge technology, we deliver the results you desire.

A revolutionary device has arrived in Chattanooga, Tennessee, transforming the facial plastic surgery industry: Embrace RF. This minimally invasive treatment effectively addresses droopy skin around the neck and chin area, and the marionette lines. Unlike previous non-invasive procedures, which offered limited, short-term results, Embrace RF provides lasting improvements. Many devices used by spas to avoid facelifts simply don't work as effectively.

Until now, experienced facial plastic surgeons have hesitated to recommend non-invasive treatments in place of a facelift. Dr. James Shire of Shire Facial Plastic Surgery in Chattanooga explains: "The reason is simple-they simply don't work. Quality, dependability, and gaining the trust of patients are very important to our practice. I can't offer something that I don't believe will make a real difference for my patients. I know my colleagues feel the same."

With the introduction of Embrace RF to Shire Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Shire is confident that we now offer one of the best minimally invasive facelift options available. Embrace RF's cutting-edge technology, combined with Dr. Shire's expertise, ensures excellent results-without the need for an invasive surgical procedure.

Embrace RF Non-Invasive Facelift Overview

Facelifts without surgery? In the past, this wasn't possible-but now it is. Here's a brief overview of how Embrace RF works and how we use it to achieve effective results, leaving you with gorgeous, youthful, and rejuvenated skin.

Embrace RF combines two innovative procedures: FaceTite and Morpheus8. FaceTite dramatically improves facial and neck laxity by utilizing minimally invasive radio-frequency technology to melt fat without leaving large scars. Morpheus8 is a radio-frequency micro-needling device that targets the sub-dermis and deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin complexion and texture for a more radiant, youthful appearance.

Embrace RF New Breakthrough Technology

EmbraceRF is a breakthrough technology that is changing the approach of facial plastic surgeons like Dr. Shire. This one-time procedure combines two powerful technologies from industry leader InMode-FaceTite and Morpheus8. EmbraceRF is the first minimally invasive treatment designed for patients seeking significant improvement without invasive surgery. While it's not a replacement for a facelift, patients can experience up to 70% improvement, making it an ideal solution for many.

The EmbraceRF procedure takes approximately 90 minutes from start to finish and is completely non-surgical. Now, let's take a closer look at how EmbraceRF technology works.

Embrace RF's Technology

This groundbreaking system is highly effective because it combines two advanced technologies. We've mentioned micro-needling and lipolysis, but now let's take a closer look at these two cutting-edge methods and how they deliver the results you desire.

Morpheus8 is a fractionated bipolar radio frequency micro-needling device. It works by reducing acne and acne scarring, tightening the skin to eliminate wrinkles, and improving skin tone and texture. Morpheus8 is the first and only FDA-cleared Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD) designed to mold fat subdermally, addressing concerns related to aging. It is safe for all skin types-from the palest to the darkest tones-and enhances the complexion and texture of the skin.

FaceTite, the second technology, uses radio frequency-assisted lipolysis. Like Morpheus8, it operates with bipolar radio frequency. This minimally invasive contouring solution remodels fibrous tissues in three dimensions, effectively treating sagging skin on the face and neck. FaceTite targets areas like the double chin, jowls, necklines, neckbands, deep lines, and loose skin.

Am I A Good Candidate For Embrace RF?

If you're looking for a healthier, more youthful, and contoured face, Embrace RF can help! Not everyone is ready for or interested in a full facelift, and that's completely normal. We are excited to offer this effective, non-invasive treatment to our patients. Below are some types of patients who are great candidates for Embrace RF at Shire Plastic Surgery:

Gap Patients - Individuals who aren't quite ready for a facelift but have concerns that non-invasive treatments alone won't address.

Sideline Patients - Individuals who want or need a facelift but are unable to undergo the procedure due to financial or health-related reasons.

Maintenance Patients - Individuals who have already had a facelift but need to maintain their results without undergoing another invasive procedure.

The natural effects of aging can leave anyone feeling less satisfied with their facial appearance. If you're looking to reduce wrinkles, deep creases, and sagging skin, Embrace RF could be an excellent option for you. If you frequently feel that you look tired or miss the appearance of a well-contoured, youthful face, Embrace RF's technology can help restore your confidence.

How Much Does an Embrace RF Non-Invasive Facelift Cost?

The average cost of Embrace RF ranges from $4,500 to $7,000. However, the exact cost of your procedure can vary based on the size of the treated area and whether any additional procedures or treatments are added. The results of Embrace RF typically last about five years and you can repeat the procedure every few years if desired. Here are some factors to consider:

Embrace RF costs can vary by geographical area, much like the cost of living varies throughout the country.

Local anesthesia is typically used to numb the treatment area and minimize discomfort. Depending on the type of anesthesia and associated fees, your total cost may vary.

Embrace RF nonsurgical facelifts are elective and cosmetic in nature. As with most cosmetic surgeries, insurance does not cover Embrace RF, and payment is out-of-pocket.

Dr. Shire is an experienced facial plastic surgeon who runs a state-of-the-art facial and cosmetic surgery practice. His pricing reflects his skill and experience with cutting-edge technology.

Dr. Shire at Shire Facial Plastic Surgery provides each patient with a personalized assessment to ensure the best care and results possible. As individual needs vary, more complete pricing details will be provided during your consultation.

Written Reviews

From my first visit to my follow-up care, my experience has been very positive, from the office staff to Dr. Shire. During the consultation, all procedures were discussed in depth. I would refer to Dr. Shire for any facial procedures. So far I am very happy with my results

After extensive research and consults, I am convinced I made the best choice. I have had NO pain, minimal swelling, and feel wonderful! Dr. Shire and every staff member are absolutely the best I’ve encountered; I would do it again tomorrow if needed.

Dr. Shire’s team created a stress-free environment on the day of surgery, which was much appreciated! During the consultation, he used language I could understand and consistently provided important information, and it was just enough- I was never overwhelmed with instructions. They made me feel as if I am the only patient they have. The results were better than I had imagined. The wonderful nursing staff is always patient and encouraging. I couldn’t be happier with the results, as well as the experience overall.

During my consultation, Dr. Shire spent a lot of time with me explaining the procedure and answering questions, and I had great follow up. He made sure I understood everything. The day of surgery they took great care of me. Every single member of the staff has been exceptional. Very professional, kind and made sure any questions or concerns I had were addressed. I am very impressed with the care I have been given.

I felt very comfortable with Dr. Shire and his staff. The entire team is awesome, and Dr. Shire carefully, clearly explains everything.

Having ‘followed the advice on the internet,’ I made multiple consultations with different surgeons. By far, Dr. Shire blew them all away. He actually examined me, discussed my concerns with my nose and took the time to fully explain everything that he does during the operation as well as recovery. I really loved that he wanted to fix my concerns but still keep me “me” and not try to give me a nose that wouldn’t suit me or my face. The entire experience went exactly as he said. I followed his rules, never had an ounce of pain and am 100 percent happy with the results. Thank you to Dr. Shire and everyone at the office!

This experience has been well worth the results. Dr. Shire and staff are professional in every way. I saw several surgeons before deciding upon Dr. Shire and I believe he is the best!

I had a great experience with everything both times (two separate surgeries). The staff is wonderful!! Great attribute to the office; they are so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.

The entire process was uncomplicated. The staff and Dr. Shire are excellent; friendly and compassionate and competent! The consultation was very thorough. The staff is wonderful and efficient. Without exception, this is the best facial plastic office in the entire area.

The whole package was nothing but excellent and a good experience overall. I receive wonderful compliments every day. I am an advocate for others to do this peel.

Overall, very fine service. I would expect to return for further surgery if/when needed and recommend him and his VERY FINE STAFF. The facility nursing care is excellent and the consultation was straightforward and honest.

I can highly recommend Dr. Shire and all staff. I am very happy with the results and am feeling my best. The surgery was a pain-free, stress-free, enjoyable experience. There was great attention to details, they were very thorough, the facility is clean, and staff is helpful, professional, and efficient. Anyone considering Dr. Shire will appreciate his attention to details and cleanliness.

I have wanted to have this procedure for years, but life always got in the way. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I would recommend Dr. Shire to anyone. The entire staff is so friendly and helpful!

Everything from start to finish has been amazing. Dr. Shire and his staff have been incredibly patient and helpful. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Had no idea a facelift could be so easy! I was glad the surgery suite was on site and the staff was wonderful the day of my procedure. Dr. Shire has an awesome staff- they make me want to come back. Dr. Shire is an artist! Very pleased with what he did.

There isn’t another doctor in the world that I know of that I would have trusted my face with. I have always told everyone about this place and the excellent group of people working here.

Deanna O.

My entire experience was great! Could not have asked for more. Staff was wonderful and friendly, and Dr. Shire was patient and thorough. I have made many recommendations to friends.

Dr. Shire and his whole office staff are always so nice and available to ask questions and get explanations. Results are just what I was looking for.

Vickie W.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Shire and his entire staff for the expert care and the extreme kindness each and everyone has shown during my (sic) procedure. All of you are the greatest.

Pat G.

I had been to another consultation with another surgeon prior to going for a second consultation to meet Dr. Shire at the insistence of other satisfied patients of Dr. Shire’s. I was so impressed with Dr. Shire, his staff, and his facility that I knew this was the doctor I wanted. I have been to several doctors and surgeons in my lifetime, but none have ever devoted the personal time and been so thorough as Dr. Shire and his staff! You guys are the best!!

I could not be more pleased!

Martha Z.

Can’t say enough about the comfort mentally and physically I have experienced. Never once lost confidence under the doctor’s care. Brilliant man.

Terri D.

Dr. Shire and his staff were absolutely outstanding. Having interviewed many physicians in Atlanta, The best is right here in Chattanooga.

Linda B.

This was a “Story Book” experience! I can’t say enough good things about the care I have received. Mentally and physically, I, having my RN license and being a VP at a Bank, do know about patient care and service. Dr. Shire and his staff, Sandy and the girls up front are amazing. I walked in the office not knowing anyone, now I feel like we are friends for life.

Thank you and God bless every aspect of your life.

Bonnie L.

From the first consultation through post op care, the professionalism and genuine caring was exemplary. It was a wonderful experience. My results are exactly what I wanted.
