Face and Neck Contouring with Ignite RF – Lift, Tighten and Rejuvenate Without Major Surgery

Have you started noticing loose skin beneath your chin? Has
your jawline become less defined? Do you avoid photographs because of a
"double chin" or ageing neck? If so, you're not alone.

As we age, the face and neck gradually lose collagen and
elasticity while unwanted fat accumulates beneath the chin and along the
jawline. The result is sagging skin, blurred facial contours and an older
appearance.

Traditionally, the only effective solution was a surgical
facelift or neck lift. Today, however, advances in radiofrequency technology
have made it possible to achieve remarkable facial rejuvenation through minimally
invasive procedures with significantly less downtime.

At Luxor Hair Transplant & Cosmetic Surgery, we use InMode
Ignite RF™, combining the FaceTite and Quantum 10 handpieces to sculpt the
face, tighten the skin and restore youthful definition.

What is
Ignite RF™?

Ignite RF is an advanced radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis
(RFAL) platform that simultaneously:

• Removes
  unwanted fat
• Tightens
  loose skin
• Stimulates
  new collagen production
• Improves
  skin quality over time

Unlike traditional liposuction, Ignite RF doesn't simply
remove fat—it actively contracts the skin from within.

This makes it one of the most effective minimally invasive
alternatives to a surgical neck lift for suitable candidates.

How Does
Ignite RF Work?

1. Melts Unwanted Fat

The radiofrequency energy liquefies stubborn fat beneath the
chin and jawline, allowing it to be gently removed.

Common treatment areas include:

• Double
  chin
• Jowls
• Jawline
• Neck

2. Tightens Loose Skin

Heat causes collagen fibres to contract immediately while
stimulating the production of new collagen over the following months.

Patients usually notice:

• Firmer
  skin
• Improved
  jawline definition
• Better
  neck contour
• Reduced
  skin laxity

Results continue improving for 6–12 months.

3. Improves Skin Quality

Radiofrequency also stimulates:

• Collagen
• Elastin
• Fibroblasts

This improves:

• Skin
  thickness
• Elasticity
• Texture
• Overall
  skin quality

Why We Use
Both FaceTite and Quantum 10

FaceTite

FaceTite is ideal for delicate facial contouring.

It is particularly effective for:

• Jawline
  definition
• Jowls
• Lower
  cheeks
• Small
  areas of fat
• Early
  skin laxity

FaceTite offers exceptional precision around important
facial structures.

Quantum 10

Quantum 10 delivers more powerful tissue contraction while
remaining suitable for delicate facial areas.

It allows treatment of:

• Larger
  areas beneath the chin
• Neck
• More
  significant fat deposits
• Moderate
  skin laxity

Quantum 10 produces excellent collagen stimulation and
impressive skin tightening.

What Areas
Can Be Treated?

Ignite RF can treat:

• Double
  chin
• Neck
• Jawline
• Jowls
• Lower
  face
• Cheeks
• Early
  facial sagging

Many patients choose to combine several areas during one
procedure.

Who is a
Good Candidate?

Ignite RF is ideal for patients who have:

• Mild
  to moderate skin laxity
• Localised
  fat beneath the chin
• Early
  jowls
• Loss
  of jawline definition
• Good
  skin quality
• No
  desire for major surgery

It is particularly popular among patients aged 35–65.

Patients with severe skin laxity may still achieve better
results from a formal facelift or neck lift, which can be discussed during your
consultation.

What Happens
During the Procedure?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, with
optional oral or intravenous sedation for additional comfort.

Small access points (only a few millimetres in size) are
created beneath the chin or behind the ears.

The radiofrequency probe is then carefully passed beneath
the skin to:

• Reduce
  unwanted fat
• Tighten
  connective tissues
• Contract
  collagen
• Stimulate
  long-term skin remodelling

The procedure generally takes 60–120 minutes, depending on
the treatment area.

Patients return home the same day.

Recovery

Recovery is significantly shorter than a surgical facelift.

Most patients experience:

• Mild
  swelling
• Bruising
• Temporary
  numbness
• Mild
  tenderness

A compression garment is usually worn for approximately 7–10
days, followed by nighttime use for several weeks.

Most people return to office-based work within 5–10 days.

When Will I
See Results?

Some tightening is visible immediately.

However, the real improvement occurs gradually as new
collagen forms.

Most patients notice progressive improvement over:

• 6
  weeks
• 3
  months
• 6
  months
• Up
  to 12 months

This gradual improvement creates a very natural
rejuvenation.

Can Ignite
RF Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Absolutely.

Many patients achieve their best results by combining Ignite
RF with:

• Morpheus8
  RF Microneedling for additional skin tightening
  and collagen stimulation.
• CO₂
  Laser Resurfacing to
  improve wrinkles, pigmentation and skin texture.
• Fat
  Grafting to restore youthful facial
  volume.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Is Ignite RF painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, with
optional sedation available for additional comfort.

Will I have scars?

Only tiny access points are required, usually hidden beneath
the chin or behind the ears. These generally heal with minimal visible
scarring.

Is it better than liposuction alone?

Yes. While liposuction removes fat, Ignite RF also tightens
the skin and stimulates collagen production, producing a more refined and
longer-lasting result.

How long do the results last?

The fat removed is permanently removed. Although the natural
ageing process continues, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle
helps preserve results for many years.

Will I still need a facelift?

Not necessarily. Many patients with mild to moderate skin
laxity achieve excellent improvement with Ignite RF alone. Patients with more
advanced ageing may still benefit from a surgical facelift or neck lift.
