EMFACE applies radiofrequency and high-intensity facial electrical stimulation at the same time, through pads placed on the forehead and cheeks. The radiofrequency warms the skin to encourage collagen and elastin, while the electrical stimulation contracts the facial muscles that support the midface. No needles and no injections are involved, and a session takes about twenty minutes.
A standard course is four sessions roughly a week apart, with the effect continuing to develop over the following two to three months. It is aimed at mild to moderate loss of tone and laxity rather than significant sagging, which generally needs a surgical approach. The same manufacturer's Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo apply the equivalent idea to body muscle, and the facial version is a smaller and gentler variant of it. Beautifi can help connect patients with vetted providers and flexible financing options.
EMFACE is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure involving the use of specialized device that delivers radiofrequency and high-frequency ultrasound energies to the targeted areas of the face. It is designed to enhance the appearance of the face by providing a needle-free alternative to traditional filler treatments.
EMFACE works by utilizing a device that combines radiofrequency and high-frequency ultrasound technologies. These energies are delivered to the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the tissue. This results in improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and a more youthful appearance.
EMFACE is suitable for individuals who want to improve the appearance of their skin without undergoing surgery or receiving traditional injectable fillers. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking to address fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of volume.
If your main concern is one dynamic line such as a frown line rather than overall tone, neuromodulators target that directly and are often discussed alongside EMFACE.
After cleansing the skin, the provider will use the EMFACE device to deliver the radiofrequency and high-frequency ultrasound energies to the targeted areas of the face. The treatment is generally well-tolerated and does not require anesthesia.
The duration of an EMFACE procedure can vary depending on the specific areas being treated and the individual’s unique needs. However, sessions typically range from 30 minutes to one hour.
Recovery after EMFACE is minimal. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. Some temporary redness or mild swelling may occur, but it typically subsides within a few hours to a few days. It is important to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by the provider to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects.
Results from EMFACE can be seen shortly after the treatment, with improvements continuing to develop over time. Many individuals notice a visible tightening and lifting effect immediately, while collagen production continues to enhance the results in the following weeks and months.
The longevity of results from EMFACE can vary depending on various factors such as individual skin characteristics, lifestyle, and maintenance. Typically, results can last for several months to a year. To maintain and optimize the outcomes, periodic touch-up treatments may be recommended.
The cost of EMFACE treatment depends on several factors, including geographic location, the provider, the number of sessions needed, and the specific areas being treated. In Canada, the cost of EMFACE is typically between $1,000 and $1,500 per session.
As with any cosmetic procedure, EMFACE carries potential risks and side effects, which may include but are not limited to:
Redness
Swelling
Bruising
Discomfort
