Emface

How does Emface work?

Emface works on two layers at the same time: the facial muscles and the overlying skin. It uses a combination of radiofrequency heating and electromagnetic stimulation to achieve natural-looking skin tightening and lifting. The radiofrequency gently warms the skin to trigger collagen and elastin production, which helps enhance firmness and texture over time. At the same moment, the HIFES electromagnetic pulses contract key facial muscles in rapid succession, almost like a high-intensity workout beneath the skin. These contractions help re-strengthen muscles that tend to lose tone with age, particularly in areas like the forehead, cheeks and jawline.

What are the benefits of Emface?

Emface treatment has many benefits:

• Dual action on muscles and skin: Many treatments affect only the surface (skin) or only muscles; Emface does both!
  
• Non-surgical and needle-free: No incisions, no injections, no downtime.
• Convenient: Each session fits into a short schedule (about 20 minutes).
• Comfortable: Minimal discomfort, often described as pleasant warmth and gentle muscle activation.
• Natural-looking results: Since your own muscles and skin are being stimulated, outcomes tend to avoid the “overdone” look.
• Versatility: Ability to treat multiple facial zones, adjust intensity, and perform maintenance in the same session.

Does Emface have any side effects?

While generally well tolerated, Emface comes with a few mild risks:

• Temporary redness or warmth in treated areas
• Occasional mild swelling
• In rare cases, minor skin irritation or transient crusting
• As with any heat- or energy-based treatment, there is a possibility of burns if misapplied (but properly trained practitioners minimize this risk)

You should never feel pain or burning during the procedure. If that happens, it’s a sign to stop the treatment immediately.

What can Emface treat?

Emface is designed to target both facial sagging and skin laxity by working on the muscles and skin at the same time. Unlike treatments that only tighten the surface or add volume, Emface strengthens the structural support of the face. Here’s what it can effectively treat:

• Dark circles: Emface helps lighten dark circles under the eyes by enhancing blood circulation and boosting skin thickness.
• Hollowing: Emface reduces the appearance of hollowing under the eyes by supporting the underlying structure, not just adding volume. 
• Undereye bags: Emface helps reduce the appearance of undereye bags by improving muscle tone and lymphatic drainage. 

• Fine lines and undereye creasing: Emface helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and undereye creasing by tightening both muscle and skin rather than just surface resurfacing

• Sagging brows and forehead laxity: Emface helps create a lifted, refreshed upper face by strengthening the small muscles around the brow and upper eyelid. 
• Drooping cheeks or mid-face flattening: Emface restores muscle tone to support sharper cheek projection.
• Early jowling or loss of jawline definition: Emface enhances facial contour and reduces heaviness along the lower face.
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines): By lifting the mid-face, deep lines are indirectly softened after Emface treatment.
• Mild skin laxity and fine lines: The radiofrequency stimulation used during Emface boosts collagen for smoother, firmer skin.
• General tired or “deflated” appearance: Emface revives overall facial vitality without adding volume.

What to expect during Emface treatment? 

The treatment itself is surprisingly comfortable. Applicators are placed on the forehead and cheeks, and for the next 20 minutes, you’ll feel a combination of warmth on the skin and rhythmic tapping or contracting sensations in the muscles. 

How many Emface sessions would I need?

Here’s a typical roadmap for Emface treatment:

• A full course of treatment often consists of 6 sessions, spaced about one week apart (some clinics vary that spacing from 2 to 7 days).
• Results start to emerge in the weeks following the final session. Many people see changes in 4 to 6 weeks, with continued subtle enhancement for a few weeks afterwards. 
• To maintain results, occasional touch-up sessions are commonly recommended once every six months. 

Because changes in muscle tone and collagen remodeling take time, patience is key; but many see visible effects relatively quickly.

What kind of results can be expected after Emface treatment?

When performed by a qualified provider, you might expect:

• Firmer, extra toned facial muscles
• Smoother skin texture and fewer fine lines
• A subtle lift in cheeks, jawline
• Lifted browlines and upper face area
• Increased definition around under-chin area
• Natural, gradual enhancement rather than sudden dramatic shifts
• Lightened, less hollow undereye area
• Decreased puffiness around undereye area

Results vary from person to person, influenced by age, skin type, and how your tissues respond to stimulation. In clinical settings, meaningful change is seen after the full course and continues to be refined over time.

How soon can you see the results of Emface?

Most people notice a difference relatively soon after their entire course of treatments have been completed. Your face may feel tighter or a little bit lifted right away. The real transformation, however, develops gradually. Changes typically become increasingly visible about four to six weeks after the final treatment and continue to refine over the next two to three months as the skin produces additional collagen and the facial muscles respond to stimulation. Clinical studies have shown that the combined use of Synchronized RF and HIFES® helps counteract signs of facial aging, leading to firmer contours and smoother skin. Just like with working out your body, Emface works by building up the physical muscles in your face to produce visible results – which is why it is important to follow and complete a full course of treatment. 

How long do the results from Emface last?

Results generally last between six months to a year, though this can vary depending on age and skin condition. To maintain the effects, people generally choose to have a maintenance session once every six months. 

How does Emface compare to other treatments?

Here’s a quick perspective:

Who is suitable for Emface?

Emface is suitable for people who:

• Want to reduce signs of facial aging (fine lines, sagging, lax skin) without surgery
• Are early to mid in the aging process (when muscle tone and skin response can still be enhanced)
• Prefer non-invasive, low-risk procedures
• Do not want needles, fillers, or long downtime

However, it may not be ideal for those with:

• Metal implants, electronic devices (like pacemakers) in the head/neck area
• Active skin infections or lesions at the treatment site
• Certain skin conditions or very thin/mature skin where the risk of heating is greater
• Unrealistic expectations (it is not a substitute for a surgical facelift)

Suitable areas of treatment for Emface:

Emface can be used across several parts of the face, such as:

• Forehead and brow region
• Eyebrow / eyelid area
• Cheeks
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Jowls / jawline
• Under-chin / submental region

Why choose Emface?

Emface isn’t trying to freeze muscles, puff up volume, or cut away skin. Instead, it encourages your face to rejuvenate itself by strengthening the muscles that lift and firming the skin that drapes over them.

It’s often thought of as facial conditioning rather than a dramatic transformation. So if you’re looking for a change that doesn’t scream “I had something done,” but rather whispers “Did they just get back from holiday?”,  Emface might just be the treatment that bridges science and subtlety just right.

How to choose the right Emface provider?

Before proceeding to choose a provider for your treatment, here are good questions to ask:

• Are you certified or trained for Emface, and how many treated cases have you done?
• What setting parameters will you use (intensity, time)?
• What monitoring do you do during treatment to ensure safety?
• What results can I realistically expect given my skin, age, and facial structure?
• Do you offer touch-up or maintenance plans?
• What is your protocol for handling any side effects or discomfort?
