EmFace

A non-invasive facial treatment that lifts, tones, and tightens by working on the skin and the muscles beneath it at the same time. It requires no needles and no downtime, and a standard course is four 20-minute sessions.

Facial ageing involves two things happening at once. The skin loses collagen and elastin, becoming thinner and less firm. And the muscles that give the face its structure and lift gradually weaken and lose density. Most skin treatments address one or the other. EmFace addresses both simultaneously.

Applicators placed on the forehead, cheeks, and chin deliver two types of energy at the same time. Radiofrequency heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin quality and firmness. High-intensity facial muscle stimulation causes involuntary muscle contractions, far beyond what any voluntary exercise can achieve, strengthening and restoring muscle density in the treated areas. The result is an improvement in both the skin and the underlying structure that supports it.

At-home care:

• SPF 30 or higher daily. UV exposure accelerates the collagen breakdown this treatment works to reverse.
• Consistent, hydrating skincare routine to support collagen health between sessions
• Avoid facials, heat treatments, and other facial energy devices for 48 hours post-session
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after each session

Before treatment:

• Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and skincare products
• Remove any metal jewellery from the face and neck area before treatment
• EmFace is not suitable for patients with metal implants, pacemakers, or electronic implanted devices in or near the treatment area
• Discuss any recent injectables with your provider. EmFace can be performed safely alongside fillers and neurotoxins.

During treatment

Applicators are placed on the treatment areas and secured in position. The session begins with a warming sensation from the radiofrequency, followed by a tingling or pulsing feeling as the muscle stimulation engages. The contractions are noticeable but not painful. Sessions run exactly 20 minutes.

After treatment

You can go straight back to your day. Mild warmth or light redness on the treated areas typically resolves within a couple of hours. There is no bruising, swelling, or peeling. Avoid facials and other facial treatments for 48 hours after each session to allow the tissue to respond undisturbed.

Results timeline

Some patients notice a firmer, more lifted sensation within 2 to 3 weeks of completing the course. The most noticeable results typically emerge at around 3 months as collagen production and muscle strengthening continue after treatment. Results generally last around a year, with maintenance sessions helping to sustain them.
