Embrace RF Non-invasive Facelift in Chattanooga

 
 
 

Do you want amazing results leading to beautiful, youthful, and rejuvenated skin but aren’t quite ready for a traditional surgical facelift procedure? We are proud to offer the first non-surgical facelifts in the region. At Shire Facial Plastic Surgery, we combine art and medicine with the most cutting-edge technology to get you the results you desire. 

A new device has arrived in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that is revolutionizing the facial plastic surgery industry creating the first minimally invasive treatment that addresses droopy skin around the neck and chin area, marionette lines, and neck. Embrace RF. Until now, the non-invasive procedures available to improve the aging face have been minimally effective with no lasting results. There are even a number of machines on the market utilized by spas that seek to help people avoid having a facelift; they don’t work.

Up until now, many experienced facial plastic surgeons have not recommended non-invasive treatments in place of a facelift. Dr. James Shire of Shire Facial Plastic Surgery in Chattanooga says the reason is clear. “They simply don’t work,” he says. “Quality, dependability, and gaining the trust of patients are very important to our practice. I just can’t offer something that I don’t feel like will make a true difference for patients. I know my other colleagues feel the same way.”

With the addition of Embrace RF to Shire Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Shire is confident that we offer one of the best nonsurgical facelifts available. Embrace RF’s cutting-edge technology, combined with Dr. Shire’s experience and skill gets you the excellent results you desire- without an invasive surgical procedure. 

Embrace RF Non-Invasive Facelift Overview 

Facelifts without surgery? In the past, this was not possible, but it is now. Here’s a brief overview of how Embrace RF works and how we are able to use it to get effective results, leading to gorgeous, youthful, and rejuvenated skin. 

Embrace RF technology consists of two procedures, microneedling and lipolysis. Here’s what you should know about these two methods: 

  • Microneedling. Microneedling stimulates collagen production. Tiny needles are used to make very small, exact punctures on your skin. These needles do not hurt, not so they leave scars. This process leads to increased collagen, making your skin appear youthful, smooth, and tight. 
  • Lipolysis. Lipolysis is a procedure that targets specific, localized fat deposits on your face and permanently removes them. This treatment is injected into specific areas of your face and melts away bothersome fatty areas. Lipolysis also tightens your skin, leading to a sculpted and contoured appearance. 

These two treatments combined give exceptional results that improve the tone and overall appearance of the skin, as well as refinements in texture and elasticity that create a youthful and well-contoured appearance.  

Embrace RF takes approximately 45 minutes to one hour from start to finish, and is completely non-surgical. Next, let’s take a deeper dive into Embrace RF technology.    

Embrace RF New Breakthrough Technology

 EmbraceRF is the breakthrough new technology that is changing the minds of facial plastic surgeons like Dr. Shire. This one-time procedure combines two powerful technologies from industry leader InMode – FaceTite and Morpheus8. The EmbraceRF is the first minimally invasive treatment for those patients looking for improvement without invasive surgery. Although, this is not a facelift replacement, patients can see up to 70% improvement. For many patients, this procedure fits the bill perfectly.

Embrace RF’s Technology

This groundbreaking machine is especially effective because it combines two incredible technologies. We mentioned micro-needling and lipolysis above, but now we’ll take a deeper dive into the specifics of these two cutting-edge technologies and how they can get you the results that you desire. 

  • Fractora is a fractionated bipolar radio frequency micro-needling. Fractora reduces acne and acne scarring, tightens skin which eliminates wrinkles, and improves tone and textures. Fractora is the first and only FDA-cleared Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD) device to mold fat subdermally in order to effectively address aging concerns. This is safe on all skin types, from the palest to darkest skin tones, and improves the complexion and texture of skin.
  • FaceTite, the other modality, is a radio frequency-assisted lipolysis. Like Morpheus8, this is also a bipolar radio frequency. This modality is a minimally invasive contouring solution for the face resulting in three-dimensional remodeling of the fibrous tissues. It is used to treat sagging skin on the face and neck, including double chin, jowls, necklines and neckbands, deep lines, and loose skin.

Am I A Good Candidate For Embrace RF?

If you long for a healthier-looking, youthful, and contoured face, Embrace RF can help! Not everyone is interested in or ready for a full face-lift, and that’s totally normal. We are happy to offer this effective but non-invasive treatment to our patients. Here are a few types of patients who are great candidates for Embrace RF at Shire Plastic Surgery.  

  • Gap Patients– Those who aren’t quite ready for a facelift, but still have conditions that noninvasive treatments won’t improve.
  • Sideline Patients– Those who want or need a facelift but can’t have the procedure due to financial or health reasons.
  • Maintenance Patients– Those who have had a facelift but need to maintain the lift rather than receive another invasive procedure.

The natural effects of aging can lead to just about anyone being less satisfied with their facial appearance. If you are looking to improve the appearance of wrinkles, deep creases, and sagging skin, Embrace RF could be an excellent choice for you. If you feel you frequently look tired or miss the appearance of a well-contoured and youthful face, Embrace RF’s technology can help.

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

The average cost of Embrace RF is around $1,850. However, the exact cost of your procedure can vary based on the total size of the area treated and if any additional procedures or treatments are added. The results of Embrace RF typically last five years or more, and you can get Embrace RF every few years if you desire. Here are some factors to consider. 

  • Embrace RF costs can vary by geographical area, just as 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 used and anesthesia fees, your total cost may vary. 
  • We are pleased to offer financing options through CareCredit. We believe facial plastic surgery should be accessible to all, and we are always happy to answer any financing questions you may have. 
  • Embrace RF nonsurgical facelifts, which are elective and cosmetic in nature. Similar to all 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 and approach to provide the best care and results possible. As the individual needs of each patient may vary, more complete pricing details will be provided during your consultation.
