What is EMFACE?
EMFACE is a non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that uses synchronized Radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES™) to lift, tone, and rejuvenate the face, without needles or downtime.
EMFACE can treat multiple areas of the face, including:
- Forehead – Softens forehead lines while lifting the brows.
- Cheeks – Improves cheek volume and lift by strengthening the facial muscles while stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Under Eyes – Helps improve the appearance of under-eye bags, dark circles, and fine lines while supporting the muscles around the eyes and improving skin quality.
- Submentum (Under the Chin) – Helps improve jawline definition and reduce the appearance of fullness beneath the chin while tightening the skin.
By stimulating both the facial muscles and the skin, EMFACE helps improve facial structure, skin quality, and overall youthful appearance.
Treatment Plan
For optimal results, we generally recommend:
- 6-8 treatments minimum
- Treatments are typically scheduled 5–10 days apart
- Each treatment lasts approximately 20–40 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
- Maintenance treatments may be recommended every 6–12 months based on your goals.
Results continue to improve over several weeks as collagen and elastin production increases.
Before Your Treatment
To ensure the best results:
- Stay well hydrated throughout your treatment series.
- Arrive with a clean face free of makeup, sunscreen, and skincare products.
- Remove all facial and neck jewelry.
- If you have significant facial hair or peach fuzz in the treatment area, please shave beforehand or consider dermaplaning within one week of treatment.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants, chemical peels, or starting new retinol products for several days before treatment.
- Maintain healthy lifestyle habits, as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption may impact your results.
During Treatment
Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable.
You may experience:
- Gentle warming of the skin from the radiofrequency.
- Rhythmic muscle contractions throughout the treatment.
- No needles or anesthesia.
- Little to no discomfort.
There is no downtime, and you may return to your normal activities immediately following your appointment.
After Your Treatment
Following treatment:
- Mild redness or warmth may occur and typically resolves within a few hours.
- Continue your normal skincare routine unless instructed otherwise.
- Wear daily SPF to protect your skin.
- Continue staying hydrated to support collagen production.
- Results develop gradually over the following weeks.
Treatment Considerations
EMFACE may not be appropriate for everyone.
Please notify your provider if you have:
- A pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implanted electronic device.
- Metal implants in the treatment area.
- Pregnancy.
- Open wounds, active skin infections, or irritated skin in the treatment area.
- Recent facial surgery or other medical conditions that may affect treatment.
Dental fillings, crowns, and implants are generally safe. Occasionally, gauze may be used to improve comfort during treatment.
Results
Individual results vary based on age, skin quality, muscle tone, and lifestyle factors. Completing the recommended treatment series provides the best opportunity to achieve optimal lifting, toning, and rejuvenation.
EMFACE complements other aesthetic treatments, including Hydrafacial®, LaseMD Ultra®, BBL®, microneedling, Sculptra®, dermal fillers, and neuromodulators. Your provider can recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
