In Cheshire, Mr Reza Nassab sees patients interested in FaceTite at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford, where the treatment itself may also be carried out under local anaesthetic. It is a local choice for people in Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham who want to refine the jawline and neck without the longer recovery of a facelift.
What FaceTite aims to do
As we age, the skin of the lower face loses elasticity and small amounts of fat gather along the jaw and under the chin. The result is a softer jawline, early jowls and a less defined angle between the chin and neck. FaceTite applies radiofrequency energy from beneath the skin to reduce some of that fat and stimulate the tissues to contract. The change is gradual and subtle, designed to look like a fresher version of you rather than a different face.
Is it right for you?
FaceTite tends to work best for:
- Mild to moderate laxity: an early loss of jawline definition rather than deep folds.
- Some fullness under the chin: which can be addressed at the same time.
- Reasonable skin quality: skin that still has some natural bounce.
- Realistic expectations: an understanding that improvement is modest and develops over months.
If your skin is looser, Mr Nassab may suggest a facelift or deep plane facelift instead, and will explain why.
Consultation at CLNQ, Knutsford
At CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford, Mr Nassab spends time understanding what you would like to change, examining your face and neck from several angles and discussing your medical history. You will talk about the treatment itself, recovery, risks and how FaceTite compares with other options. The consultation costs £150 and is charged separately from the treatment fee. You leave with a written plan and quote and time to consider it.
Treatment at CLNQ
As FaceTite is usually done under local anaesthetic, it may be carried out at CLNQ; if a general anaesthetic is preferred, treatment takes place at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester. Mr Nassab marks the areas to be treated and those to avoid along the jaw, and local anaesthetic is used, sometimes with sedation. Through small entry points, the FaceTite probe is moved carefully beneath the skin while the device monitors temperature. Treatment usually lasts one to two hours. You go home the same day with a compression garment supporting the chin and neck.
Before your treatment day
In the weeks leading up to FaceTite, Mr Nassab will ask you to stop smoking or vaping nicotine, and to let the team know about any blood-thinning medicines or supplements you take. Plan a quieter week afterwards, particularly if you have events in the diary, and arrange for someone to collect you if sedation is planned. Mention any recent facial treatments, such as dermal fillers, as these may affect timing. If you are unwell with a cold or skin infection near the date, contact the team, as treatment may need to be rescheduled.
Follow-up without long journeys
Keeping everything within Cheshire makes aftercare easy. Early follow-up checks the entry points and removes any stitches, a review a few weeks later looks at swelling and firmness, and a later appointment assesses how the skin has tightened. For patients in Wilmslow and Alderley Edge, Knutsford is very close, and those coming from Macclesfield or Altrincham have a short trip.
Your recovery in Cheshire
Most people take five to seven days away from work. Swelling and bruising are most visible in the first few days, and the jaw may feel firm or slightly lumpy for several weeks. Sleep with your head raised, wear the garment as instructed and avoid strenuous exercise for two to three weeks. Results continue to develop for up to a year. The FaceTite recovery guide has a detailed timeline.
Fees
FaceTite costs from £7,500 covering the treatment, facility, garment and routine follow-up. The £150 consultation is separate. Finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status; Reza Nassab Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender. The FaceTite cost guide explains what can change a quote.
