Precision RF Contouring
Precise skin tightening for delicate areas the larger devices cannot safely reach.
AccuTite Precision RF Contouring
If you have loose skin around your eyes, along your jawline, or in a small area like the knees or inner arms, but you do not want surgery to fix it, AccuTite may be the answer. AccuTite is the smallest and most precise device in the radiofrequency family, designed to tighten skin in delicate, hard-to-reach spots through a tiny entry point rather than an incision. It uses the same technology as its larger relatives, FaceTite and BodyTite, in a handpiece small enough to work safely around the eyes. Most patients are back to normal activity within a few days.
At his Denver practice, Dr. Jason Martin uses AccuTite for the areas where finesse matters most. He was an early adopter of radiofrequency contouring and lectures to other physicians on the technology, which is the kind of background that counts when a treatment depends on the precision of the person delivering it.
At a Glance
These are typical starting points. Dr. Martin confirms the specifics for your treatment plan at your consultation.
Your skin keeps firming over the following 4 to 12 months as new collagen forms.
Depends on the number of areas treated.
The technology
AccuTite uses a technique called radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis, or RFAL. Dr. Martin places a very fine probe just beneath the skin while a small electrode rests on the surface above it. Radiofrequency energy passes between the two, gently heating the underside of the skin in a tightly controlled zone. The device tracks temperature in real time, which is what makes it safe to use in an area as delicate as the lower eyelid.
That controlled heat does two things. It contracts the skin you have now, and it prompts your body to build new collagen over the months that follow. The result is firmer, smoother skin without removing it surgically. Because the AccuTite probe is so much smaller than the FaceTite or BodyTite handpiece, Dr. Martin can treat small, precise areas that the larger devices are not built for.
Face & eyes
The face is where AccuTite does some of its best work, because so much early aging shows up in small areas where the skin is thin.
When the skin around your eyes has truly stretched and excess skin needs to be removed, a surgical eyelid tuck and brow lift will give a more complete result, and Dr. Martin will tell you honestly when that is the better path.
Body
AccuTite also tightens skin in small body areas where stubborn laxity collects and larger treatments would be too much:
For larger body areas with more loose skin and fat, BodyTite is the right tool, and when the laxity is significant, a surgical arm lift does more. The consultation is where Dr. Martin matches the area to the right approach.
Your options
All three are part of the same radiofrequency family, and the right one comes down to the size of the area and how delicate it is. Here is how they compare.
AccuTite is best for small, delicate areas like the eyelids, jowls, neck, knees, and inner arms.
It uses the smallest probe in the family, which lets Dr. Martin treat precise spots that the larger devices cannot reach safely. It is the right choice when the area is small and the skin is thin.
FaceTite is best for the broader lower face, jawline, and neck.
It treats larger facial zones than AccuTite, tightening skin and refining the contour of the lower face and neck in one minimally invasive session. The two are often used together, with FaceTite handling the broader area and AccuTite refining the delicate spots.
BodyTite is best for larger areas of the body where loose skin and fat occur together.
It tightens skin and reduces fat across bigger zones like the abdomen, flanks, and arms. AccuTite is the small-area counterpart to BodyTite's larger reach.
Candidacy
You may be a good candidate for AccuTite if you have mild to moderate loose skin in a delicate or small area, you are in good general health, and you want real tightening without the downtime of surgery. Patients who want to address the eyes, jowls, or neck early, before things progress, do especially well.
You are likely a good candidate if you:
AccuTite is honest about its limits, and so are we. It tightens existing skin, so it works best when there is mild to moderate laxity to improve. If you have a significant amount of loose, hanging skin, a surgical procedure will give you a better result, and Dr. Martin will say so directly. The goal is the treatment that actually fits your anatomy.
Experience & judgment
Dr. Martin has worked with radiofrequency contouring since its early days, and he lectures to and educates other physicians on these technologies. That experience matters with a temperature-driven treatment like AccuTite, where the result depends on the judgment and precision of the person holding the probe, especially in an area as unforgiving as the eyelid.
What he brings to that work
The procedure, step by step
AccuTite is usually done in the office under local anesthesia, often with light sedation for comfort. The steps are simple:
and a tiny entry point is made, small enough that it rarely leaves any visible mark.
beneath the skin while the device monitors temperature, tightening the skin in a precise, controlled zone.
through the same opening when fat is part of the plan.
to support the area while your skin settles.
Recovery
Recovery from AccuTite is short, which is much of its appeal.
A day or two
Most patients take it easy for a day or two and return to light activity within a few days.
The first one to two weeks
Some swelling and bruising are normal early on, especially around the eyes, and settle over the first one to two weeks.
4 to 12 months
The skin tightening continues gradually, with your final result developing over this window as new collagen forms. Dr. Martin gives you specific aftercare instructions for the area you treat.

Investment
In Denver, AccuTite generally runs from about $2,500 to $6,000, depending on how many areas you treat in one session, since treating the eyelids alone is different from combining the eyes, jowls, and neck. Anesthesia and facility fees are part of the total.

AccuTite results are long-lasting. The new collagen your body builds gives a durable improvement, and the results hold well as long as your weight stays stable. Your skin continues to age naturally over time, so some patients choose a touch-up years later.
Yes. The radiofrequency energy contracts the collagen you have now and prompts your body to build new collagen over the following months, which is what tightens the skin. AccuTite works best for mild to moderate laxity in delicate areas; it is not meant to replace surgery when a large amount of skin needs to be removed.
AccuTite is very safe in trained hands. The device monitors temperature in real time to protect your skin, which is exactly what makes it safe to use in an area as delicate as the lower eyelid. As with any procedure, the result and the safety depend heavily on the experience of the surgeon performing it.
You will notice some tightening soon after treatment, once the early swelling settles. The fuller result develops gradually over 4 to 12 months as new collagen forms, so the area keeps improving for months after a single session.
For mild to moderate laxity, AccuTite and the other radiofrequency devices give strong, lasting tightening without surgery. When there is a significant amount of loose, hanging skin, a surgical procedure removes it directly and gives the most complete result. The strongest option for you depends on how much skin needs to be addressed, which is what the consultation is for.
