Emface®
See firmer skin and more muscle definition with this noninvasive facial treatment.
What is Emface®?
Many signs of facial aging are caused by a combination of lost collagen and loss of volume. These changes can result in lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, and loss of definition. Emface® is a unique treatment that uses two forms of energy to rejuvenate your skin and features. One type of energy acts as a powerful trigger for collagen development. The other type stimulates your facial muscles to become stronger and more defined.
*Individual results may vary.
How Does Emface® Work?
Emface® uses electromagnetic and radiofrequency energy to achieve results. HIFES (high-intensity facial electrical stimulation) uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate facial muscle contractions. These contractions have the same effect that squats or crunches have on your body muscles, causing them to become larger, stronger, and more toned.
While muscle stimulation counters volume loss, Emface® fights collagen loss with radiofrequency energy. This energy travels painlessly into the deeper layers of the dermis, where it heats collagen-producing cells called fibroblasts. The radiofrequency energy triggers these fibroblasts to make more collagen, smoothing and lifting your skin.
This combination makes Emface® the only facial treatment to address both common causes of aging without surgery. This noninvasive treatment results in a naturally more lifted, youthful appearance with more sculpted cheeks and other features.
What is an Emface® Treatment Like?
During your Emface® treatment, your provider will clean your skin and apply treatment applicators to your cheeks and forehead. Treatment takes about 25 minutes. Some people find the sensation of their facial muscles contracting strange but not uncomfortable. While your facial muscles are getting their workout, the radiofrequency energy is increasing your collagen production. People report that their skin feels warm but not hot.
What Results Will I See With Emface®?
The plumping, volume-restoring results of Emface® have led many people to refer to it as a game-changing alternative to injectables such as fillers. It also offers a noninvasive alternative to invasive treatments like lasers for rejuvenating the skin and triggering collagen production.
Most people need four Emface® treatments spaced one or two weeks apart. You may start to see results after a few treatments, but full results will take up to three months to develop. Emface® results are long-lasting. Occasional maintenance sessions will keep your features looking smooth, full, and sculpted.
Capital laser and skin care is the best dermatology practice I’ve ever been to. I’ve seen both Dr. Peters and Dr. Tanzi, who are both extremely intelligent, caring, highly skilled, practical – and gorgeous! The staff is excellent – very caring, skilled, excellent training, professional, and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Capital Laser to anyone seeking to take fabulous care of their skin. You will be in the best hands here.
Am I a Good Candidate for Emface®?
Emface® is noninvasive and safe for almost everyone. Most healthy adults are good candidates. Candidates should have reasonable expectations and understand the risks and benefits of this treatment. You should not have Emface® if you have any form of metal in any part of your head or upper body.
Younger adults can use Emface® as an anti-aging treatment or a way to achieve natural-looking facial sculpting. Older individuals will see improvements in many signs of aging. Candidates should be aware that Emface® does not have the same results as a surgical procedure.
Is There Any Downtime With Emface®?
Noninvasive Emface® does not require any downtime. You can return to your usual activities immediately. Your skin may look slightly flushed for an hour or two after treatment, but this should not affect your daily routine. Because Emface® is downtime-free, you can have treatments as often as once a week.
