The Precision Solution
AccuTite
Dr. Jonathan Zelken, MD · Board-Certified · Newport Beach, CA
AccuTite reaches and treats small or delicate areas with precision — tightening skin and removing stubborn fat where surgery would be too much, for lasting, healthier-looking results.
Approach
Dr. Zelken's Philosophy
Sometimes the smallest details make the largest difference. As both artist and scientist, Dr. Jonathan Zelken believes rejuvenation should never look overdone — it should look like a more rested, healthier version of you. AccuTite gives him a way to refine the areas most treatments can't reach, without the recovery of surgery.
At the Zelken Institute for Aesthetic Medicine in Newport Beach, precision is everything. Working through tiny entry points, Dr. Zelken tightens skin and softens stubborn fat exactly where it's needed — the delicate zones around the eyes, jawline, and neck where a light, expert touch matters most.
Having worked with radiofrequency technology since its earliest FDA-approved days, he tailors every treatment to your anatomy and goals. The result is subtle, natural refinement — an outcome noticed without ever appearing "done."
The Treatment
What is AccuTite?
AccuTite is a minimally invasive, cost-effective alternative to excisional surgery that can be performed right in our Newport Beach office. Using radio-frequency energy, it targets those "hard to reach" areas on the face and body — tightening skin and removing fat for a youthful, revitalized look.
Sometimes the littlest things have the largest impact on our confidence. That's why we're proud to offer AccuTite as a precise, surgery-sparing option for highly targeted areas where traditional procedures would simply be too much.

Is It Right For You
Who is a Good AccuTite Candidate?
The best candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity or small, stubborn fat deposits in delicate areas, and prefer a precise, minimally invasive alternative to surgery. As part of your consultation, Dr. Zelken determines whether AccuTite is right for you based on your skin, medical history, and his experience as a surgeon.
AccuTite may not be suitable for everyone. If you have metal in or near the treatment area, any electrical implants such as a pacemaker, or are pregnant, you may not be able to undergo treatment — which is exactly what your consultation is designed to clarify.
What to Expect
How AccuTite Works
The smallest device of its kind, AccuTite uses the same radio-frequency technology as FaceTite to gently liquefy fat and tighten skin, stimulating your body's own collagen production. It's performed in our Newport Beach office under local anesthesia, targeting sagging, fine lines, and deeper wrinkles through tiny entry points — no excisional surgery required.

The Outcome
Results & Longevity
You may notice results immediately, but AccuTite's real transformation unfolds gradually. As new collagen forms, your skin continues to tighten over the first one to three months, with improvement building steadily.
Results have proven to last well over a year — and many patients enjoy their refreshed, healthier-looking skin for up to five years. The hallmark of Dr. Zelken's work is refined subtlety: a natural restoration that looks effortlessly rested, never overdone.
