What is Radio Frequency Skin Tightening?
Radio frequency (RF) skin tightening sculpts the face and body through a number of minimally invasive treatments. At Advanced Cosmetic Surgery, we’re proud to offer a range of industry-leading RF treatments to help you achieve a younger-looking appearance, and if needed, assist in reducing fat. If you’re in the Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson area, BOOK A CONSULTATION with us to discover how this revolutionary technology can give you the look you’ve always dreamed of!
These treatments fall into two broad categories: RF microneedling and RF-assisted lipolysis (RFAL).
RF microneedling uses electrical energy to heat the skin. This heat tightens the skin’s underlying structure, stimulates collagen and elastin production, and can even eliminate fat. It can also resolve surface irregularities such as acne scars or stretch marks. It’s primarily performed on the face.
RFAL also tightens the skin but simultaneously eliminates subdermal fat with a heated cannula. It can be performed on the face or body.

Advanced Cosmetic Surgery Reviews
I would recommend Dr. Felice to anyone! I’m one year post-op and can say my results are perfect. Throughout the whole process he has taken the time to truly listen to what I want and made me feel comfortable. He fully explains everything about surgery and recovery. He truly cares about his patients and wants them to be happy with their results. He and his team take the time to listen and have discussions without making you feel rushed or judged. The entire team at advanced cosmetic surgery is friendly and responsive. The physician assistant I saw post op was also amazing! I can say for the first time in my life I feel comfortable trying on clothes and feel more confident in myself and it’s because of the wonderful surgical results Dr. Felice created for me.
Excellent experience!! Fast, personable and love the results. Thank you !!
Dr Felice came highly recommended by my friend and he did not disappoint! He is wonderful and made me feel gorgeous even without treatment!
I have been seeing Dr. Felice for quite some time for my Botox injections. His attention to detail, and the way he achieves such natural looking results made me certain he was the surgeon for me when I got ready to have Upper Blepharoplasty. It was SO EASY! Under local, right in the office, and in an hour! I felt absolutely zero discomfort during the procedure and did not require pain medicine after. This was such a piece of cake! I’m 6 weeks out now, and my results are stunning! Truly! I am amazed and so pleased every time I look in the mirror. I feel so pretty!! ALSO, I can’t believe how much better I can see! Imagine everywhere you look is a 5x7 photo when everyone is seeing the 8x10 full frame! And now I do too! There’s so much blue sky up there! It’s crazy to me that I have thought for so many years that my eyelashes grew downward. Nope! It was actually my excess skin on the lid sitting down on them that pushed them downward. If you are considering this procedure, just do it! I am SO glad I did!
I had a full-face laser resurfacing done by Abby. I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, her care, and her kindness. My experience at Advanced Cosmetic Surgery has been excellent, and I have found all the staff to be extremely helpful and friendly.

Radio Frequency Microneedling Services
We offer three treatments that combine RF skin tightening with microneedling to fight signs of aging, enhance your complexion and correct skin irregularities on the face and body.
Fractora
Fractora is a stamping device that uses RF-heated microneedles to create microlesion “dots” across the face. These microlesions combined with the RF heat kickstart your body’s healing response and help it start producing more skin-firming collagen.
Fractora addresses any skin surface irregularities from acne scars to wrinkles. Most patients undergo three sessions spread out over 4–6 weeks.
Morpheus8
Sometimes called a nonsurgical facelift, Morpheus8 is an RF microneedling treatment that penetrates more deeply than Fractora. The increased depth allows Morpheus8 to target subdermal fat in addition to brightening and smoothing surface irregularities. As a result, Morpheus8 can firm the jawline, neck and loose facial skin, as well as reduce deep wrinkles.
Most patients require between one and four Morpheus8 treatments, each approximately 3–5 weeks apart. Regular upkeep every 6–12 months may be necessary to maintain your firmer, brighter complexion.
Morpheus8 Body
Morpheus8 Body harnesses the same technology as the original Morpheus8 in a device that effectively treats larger areas of the body and penetrates more deeply into the skin.
It’s uniquely suited to address skin irregularities on the chest, arms, legs, abs and buttocks, including stretch marks and cellulite. While a single treatment does generate significant results, we usually recommend up to three sessions spread out over 3–5 weeks.
Radio Frequency-assisted Lipolysis Treatments
We offer multiple RFAL treatments, each optimized to eliminate unwanted fat and tighten the skin in specific areas of the face or body.
BodyTite
BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring technology. The dual-action RFAL procedure tightens the skin’s surface while simultaneously destroying fat cells with a heated cannula inserted beneath the skin.
BodyTite is most effective for healthy people with stubborn fat on the abs, arms, buttocks, neck or upper legs. It can be paired with traditional LIPOSUCTION to further reduce fat in overweight patients. BodyTite requires only a single procedure, and continues to tighten skin for up to a full year. Results are typically long lasting, provided you do not gain weight.
FaceTite
FaceTite is a minimally invasive alternative to a mini facelift or neck lift with additional skin-brightening benefits. It improves skin texture and complexion in the lower half of the face, jaw and neck while eliminating subdermal fat. Results are FDA-approved to last for 1 year, but many people report the effects last up to 5 years.
AccuTite
AccuTite is a smaller version of FaceTite developed for small or hard-to-reach areas such as eye bags, eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls and knees. It offers identical benefits as FaceTite.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is radio frequency skin tightening safe?
This treatment is considered very safe. Both RFAL and RF microneedling carry fewer risks of complications than traditional liposuction and laser treatments. Side effects are minimal and include redness, swelling and tingling. Reduce the risk of undesired side effects by choosing a reputable establishment for your treatment.
Does it hurt?
These treatments are performed under light sedation, local anesthetic, or simply a numbing cream, depending on the service. During your session, you may feel a pinching sensation and the feeling of heat, but most people find it very tolerable.
How long do results last?
RF skin-firming treatment results usually last about a year, at which point you might consider scheduling a follow-up session to maintain your youthful look. Fat loss from RFAL is considered permanent, provided you don’t gain weight.
How is radio frequency skin tightening different from a laser?
RF waves are of a lower frequency than a laser’s light waves. This property means they penetrate deeper into the skin without the risk of overheating the dermis. Additionally, these treatments are safe for all skin tones, whereas many lasers are not.
What is recovery like from BodyTite?
After your BodyTite session, you’re usually cleared to drive after 1 day and should be back at work in 1–3 days. You’ll need to wear a compression garment for 3 weeks post procedure, after which point you can resume exercise and strenuous activities.
How Much Does Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Cost?
The cost depends on which service you choose, how many areas are being treated and how many sessions you’ll need. For specific information about our rates, please GIVE US A CALL.
