AccuTite in Lima: precision radiofrequency for small areas
Minimally invasive tightening of the eye area, folds, perioral region and under-chin, in Miraflores
What is AccuTite?
AccuTite is the smallest-gauge member of InMode's radiofrequency-assisted (RFAL) family, the same technology behind FaceTite. Its defining feature is size: a miniaturized, needle-thin micro-cannula that delivers bipolar radiofrequency to contract tissue in small, delicate, hard-to-reach areas that larger devices cannot treat safely.
These are areas such as the eye region, the nasolabial folds, the perioral zone or the under-chin: regions where the skin is thin, the volumes are small, and millimetric heat control is required. That is exactly where AccuTite adds value, because it allows focused tightening through a tiny entry point, without the incisions or downtime of open surgery.
It is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. It is not a surface treatment like a laser or a non-invasive device: the energy is applied beneath the skin, in the subdermal plane, which is why its tightening effect can be more defined on localized laxity. At Elyzea, AccuTite is performed by Dr. Geldres, plastic surgeon, in the clinic's own certified operating suite, in Miraflores.
How does AccuTite work?
AccuTite uses bipolar radiofrequency. Through a very small entry point, Dr. Geldres inserts a micro-cannula that acts as the internal electrode, while a second electrode stays on the surface of the skin. The energy travels in a controlled way between the two electrodes, heating the tissue in between.
That controlled heat produces two effects. The first is immediate: the existing collagen fibers contract and the skin retracts, creating tightening that is visible soon after. The second is progressive: the thermal stimulus triggers neocollagenesis, the formation of new collagen and elastin over the following weeks and months, which gradually improves firmness and skin quality.
What sets AccuTite apart is not the type of energy but the miniaturization of the tip. Its small size makes it possible to work very close to delicate structures and in small folds without compromising neighboring areas. The system also includes temperature controls that monitor heat in real time to keep the treatment within a safe range, both at depth and at the skin's surface.
Because of its precision, AccuTite is often used as a complement to FaceTite: while FaceTite treats the broader areas of the face and neck, AccuTite is reserved for the fine details that need a smaller instrument. It can also be combined with Morpheus8 in the same session, adding the effect of microneedling radiofrequency on skin texture.
Areas AccuTite treats
AccuTite is designed precisely for the small, delicate areas where a larger device would be impractical or unsafe. The areas most frequently treated are:
- Eye area: lower-lid and periorbital laxity, where the skin is very thin.
- Brows: mild descent of the brow tail and of the upper third of the face.
- Nasolabial folds: the creases that run from the nose toward the corners of the mouth.
- Perioral region: the contour around the lips, including marionette lines toward the chin.
- Jawline and chin: definition of the jaw border and of small areas of laxity in the lower third.
- Under-chin: the submental area, beneath the chin, when laxity is localized.
These indications are a guide. In many cases AccuTite is not used in isolation but as part of a full facial plan: for example, FaceTite for the neck and jawline, AccuTite for the eye area and perioral region, and possibly Morpheus8 for texture. The exact combination and the areas to treat are always defined by Dr. Geldres after assessing your face at the consultation.
AccuTite vs FaceTite: when to use each
AccuTite and FaceTite are siblings: both belong to InMode's radiofrequency-assisted family and work on the same principle of contracting tissue beneath the skin. The main difference is the size of the tip and, therefore, the size of the area each one can treat.
FaceTite uses a larger cannula, ideal for broad areas: the jawline, an extensive under-chin, the neck or the entire lower third. When there is moderate laxity over a sizeable surface, FaceTite is the right tool.
AccuTite uses a much finer micro-cannula, designed for small, delicate areas where FaceTite would be too large: the eye area, the brows, the perioral region or the nasolabial folds. Its precision allows it to approach fine structures with very tight heat control.
In practice, it is not about choosing one over the other but how they are combined. It is common to perform FaceTite on the large areas and AccuTite on the fine details within the same session, to achieve a harmonious result across the whole face. That full-plan strategy is precisely the advantage of having both devices available.

Are you a good candidate for AccuTite?
AccuTite is often a good option for people who have localized, mild-to-moderate laxity in small, specific areas, and who prefer a minimally invasive procedure over open surgery. The profiles that benefit most share a few traits:
- Localized laxity in the eye area, folds, perioral region, jawline or under-chin.
- People who want more definition than a surface treatment can give but who do not yet need a surgical facelift.
- Good general health, with no active infections in the area to be treated.
- Realistic expectations: AccuTite improves and tightens, but it does not stop aging and is not a substitute for surgery when laxity is very advanced.
When laxity is very marked or there is significant excess skin, Dr. Geldres may recommend a different option or a different combination. And if you prefer to avoid any entry point entirely, there are non-invasive options such as Morpheus8 or HIFU. The final indication is always determined by the surgeon after assessing your case.
The consultation with Dr. Geldres
Everything starts with a free evaluation consultation, which you can have online or in person in Miraflores. It is the entry point for any surgical procedure: AccuTite is not booked directly online but planned after the evaluation.
At the consultation, Dr. Geldres, plastic surgeon, reviews the area that concerns you, assesses the degree and type of laxity, and talks with you about what you hope to achieve. From there he decides whether AccuTite is the most appropriate option, whether it makes sense to combine it with FaceTite or Morpheus8, and which areas would be worth treating in your case.
It is also the moment to talk transparently about the plan, the aftercare and the exact price. The reference value you see on this page can vary depending on the number of areas, the chosen combination and the complexity of your case; the final cost is always confirmed at the consultation. It is the space to resolve all your questions before making any decision, with no obligation.

Anesthesia and safety
AccuTite is generally performed under local anesthesia, sometimes complemented by light sedation depending on the number of areas and the surgeon's decision. This means you stay awake and comfortable during the procedure, avoiding the complexity of general anesthesia.
The safety of a minimally invasive procedure depends as much on the technology as on the setting in which it is performed. At Elyzea, AccuTite is carried out in the clinic's own certified operating suite, located in the same Miraflores building that houses our aesthetic-medicine unit, and always by Dr. Geldres, plastic surgeon.
The InMode system itself includes sensors that monitor temperature in real time in the subdermal plane and at the skin's surface, which helps keep the energy within a safe range and protect the delicate tissues of the areas being treated. Before the procedure, your medical history is reviewed and it is confirmed that there are no contraindications, such as active infections in the area or certain implanted medical devices.
Recovery and aftercare
One of the advantages of AccuTite is that recovery tends to be short, especially when small areas are treated. Because access is through a tiny entry point, there are no extensive incisions or visible stitches that leave obvious marks.
In the days that follow it is normal to notice some swelling and, in some cases, minor bruising in the treated area, which subsides progressively. The intensity and duration vary from person to person and depend on the areas worked on. Many people return to their routine within a few days, although it is wise to allow some margin for the first follow-ups.
Dr. Geldres will give you the exact aftercare instructions for your case: how to care for the area, which activities to avoid temporarily and when to come in for follow-ups. Following these instructions helps the recovery go smoothly and protects the result. If your plan combined AccuTite with FaceTite or Morpheus8, the instructions may be adapted to that combination.
Results and realistic expectations
AccuTite's effect unfolds in two stages. There is usually visible initial tightening soon after the procedure, the result of the immediate collagen contraction. From there, results continue to improve progressively over the following months as new collagen forms. That is why it is worth assessing the result with patience rather than only in the first few days.
It is important to be honest about expectations. AccuTite is excellent for tightening and defining small areas with mild-to-moderate laxity, but it is not a substitute for surgery when there is significant excess skin, and it does not stop the natural aging process. Results vary from person to person depending on skin quality, age, the degree of laxity and aftercare.
We make no promises of specific results and offer no guarantees: every face is different. What we can assure is an honest assessment at the consultation, where Dr. Geldres will explain what is reasonable to expect in your specific case and whether AccuTite, alone or combined, is the most appropriate path toward your goal.
Risks and contraindications
Like any medical procedure, AccuTite is not free of risks, although because it is minimally invasive they tend to be limited and transient when performed by a plastic surgeon in an appropriate setting. Possible effects include:
- Temporary swelling, redness and bruising in the treated area.
- Tenderness, passing numbness or small irregularities that usually resolve over time.
- Less frequently, risks associated with any percutaneous procedure, such as infection or skin changes.
There are also contraindications that are assessed before the procedure, such as active infections in the area, certain medical conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and some implanted medical devices. That is why the prior consultation is essential: it allows your medical history to be reviewed and confirms that AccuTite is safe for you. Dr. Geldres will clearly explain the specific risks for your case before you decide.
