FaceTite, NeckTite and QuantumRF: what it does, what it costs and what to ask before you book
These are the most involved non-surgical tightening treatments in the guide, with real recovery and a nerve risk that needs a proper conversation. Where Dr Leah finds them worth it, and where they fall short, comes down to which part of the neck and jaw is the problem.
In The Ageless Blueprint, Dr Leah rates QuantumRF out of 10, explains the area where Dr Leah finds it gives the best result, and sets out the step-by-step plan Dr Leah builds around it. This page covers the facts first.What FaceTite, NeckTite and QuantumRF are
FaceTite, NeckTite and QuantumRF are minimally invasive radiofrequency treatments. A fine cannula is passed beneath the skin through a small entry point and delivers radiofrequency energy directly to the tissue, with the heat monitored from the surface. Because the energy is delivered internally rather than through the skin, these treatments can heat deeper tissue more directly than surface devices such as Ultherapy or RF microneedling, at the cost of more swelling and more recovery.
QuantumRF delivers pulsed, fractionated energy; FaceTite and NeckTite are related devices named for the areas they treat. They are usually one-off procedures, performed under local anaesthetic, and are often combined with aspiration liposuction when a pocket of fat under the chin is part of the problem, so that fullness and laxity are addressed in the same session.
Generally used for
- Upper-neck laxity and loss of definition under the chin
- A fat pocket beneath the chin, treated with liposuction at the same time
- Patients who want a one-off procedure rather than a course, and can accept two weeks of swelling
What the guide covers that this page does not
- Dr Leah’s rating out of 10, and the area where Dr Leah thinks the device earns it
- The three-step plan Dr Leah builds around QuantumRF for a sagging lower face and neck
- What Dr Leah adds for jowls, neck bands and skin texture, and in what order
- The complication Dr Leah has seen more often than the literature reports, and how it resolved
What to expect
| Results | Improved neck and jawline contour as tissue tightens over the following months. Jowls that have descended are not physically repositioned and often need a separate treatment. |
|---|---|
| How long it lasts | The tightening benefit generally lasts around two to three years, with variation by age, laxity and weight. Liposuction of the neck does not usually need repeating. |
| Appointment and downtime | A single procedure under local anaesthetic. Swelling and bruising can be noticeable and may take two to three weeks to settle. A compression garment is usually worn continuously for the first 72 hours, and a short course of steroids may be prescribed for swelling. |
| What can go wrong | Tenderness, numbness or firmness as tissue heals. Burns, altered sensation and uneven contours. The marginal mandibular nerve runs near the jawline; if it is irritated, lower-lip movement can weaken and the smile can look uneven for some weeks. Scarring beneath the skin can make a later surgical facelift more difficult. |
| Cost | Typical UK prices for QuantumRF to the lower face and full neck, including aspiration liposuction of the neck, are about £3,400 to £6,000. Threads, filler or neck Botox added for jowls or bands raise the overall cost. |
Five things to ask before you book
- Which device are you using, QuantumRF, FaceTite or NeckTite, and how many of these procedures have you done on necks like mine?
- Will you include liposuction under my chin, and how do you decide whether I need it?
- What is the risk to my marginal mandibular nerve, what would weakness look like, and how long has it taken to resolve in your patients?
- I have jowls as well as a loose neck: will this procedure move them, or will I need something else?
- How much swelling should I plan for, and when could I attend an event without it showing?
Dr Leah’s verdict is in the guide
Chapter 12 of The Ageless Blueprint rates QuantumRF out of 10 and explains the one area where Dr Leah finds it most useful and the area where it falls short. It sets out the three-step plan Dr Leah builds for a sagging lower face and neck, what Dr Leah combines with the procedure and why, the nerve complication Dr Leah believes is under-reported and how it resolved in Dr Leah’s own patients, and the point at which Dr Leah advises a surgical opinion. Four pages, with illustrations.

Common questions
All three deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the skin through a fine cannula. FaceTite and NeckTite are related treatments named for the face and neck; QuantumRF delivers pulsed, fractionated energy internally. They are more involved than Ultherapy or Morpheus8 because the probe goes under the skin.
In Dr Leah’s experience the tightening benefit generally lasts around two to three years, varying with age, degree of laxity and whether your weight stays stable. Neck liposuction done at the same time does not usually need repeating.
No. It can improve neck and jawline contour but cannot reposition a descended jowl or reproduce a surgical face and neck lift in advanced laxity. The guide explains the point at which Dr Leah recommends a surgical opinion.
