Wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin – if you worry about these issues when you look in the mirror, you’re not alone. As you grow older, the appearance of your facial skin can change, leading to a loss of confidence. You deserve to feel beautiful and youthful again, and a non-invasive treatment called EMFACE can help.
EMFACE is an increasingly popular alternative to plastic surgery and injections. It’s an entirely needle-free, toxin-free procedure designed to ease fine lines, reduce wrinkles, and lift sagging skin. EMFACE is ideal for both men and women, and our patients cannot stop raving about it. Here’s why:
EMFACE Is Toxin-Free
Botox™ has long been a popular option for patients seeking to ease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While Botox can be quite effective, not everyone is comfortable with the way it works. Botox contains neurotoxins that temporarily paralyze the muscles beneath the skin. Some patients find that this feels uncomfortable or unnatural.
If you’re not comfortable with Botox, EMFACE is a great alternative. It uses radio frequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electrical stimulation (HIFES) to tone your facial muscles, not paralyze them. If anything, your face will feel stronger after treatment since the HIFES technology stimulates your muscles.
EMFACE Does Not Involve Needles
Do needles make you nervous? Most people don’t love injections, and some even have a diagnosed phobia of needles. If you fall into either of these camps, you can breathe a sigh of relief with EMFACE. Nothing is injected; the RF and HIFES energies are applied to the surface of your skin, using a special applicator tool. You’ll feel some warmth and muscle contractions during treatment, but no pain or pinching.
EMFACE Does Not Require Downtime
Most people don’t want to take a week off from work after a facelift. If you’re a parent, having to lay low for even a day or two may be unrealistic. Luckily, with EMFACE, there is no required downtime. As soon as your treatment is over, you can get right back to work or your other obligations. While your face might be a little sore, there won’t be serious swelling or peeling as you might experience with a chemical peel or dermabrasion.
EMFACE Builds Collagen and Elastin
There are a lot of creams, washes, and serums that promise to reduce wrinkles, but really only serve to hide or mask them. EMFACE is different. Rather than hiding your wrinkles and fine lines, it helps treat them at the source. The RF energy delivered through the applicator helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin deep within your skin. Both of these proteins can become depleted as you age, which is why older skin is prone to wrinkles and sagging. By boosting your skin’s collagen and elastin content, EMFACE can help you look more toned and youthful.
Keep in mind that the collagen and elastin-boosting benefits of EMFACE are not instant. Instead, your skin will begin producing more of these proteins in the days and weeks after treatment. On average, patients see 37% fewer wrinkles and 23% more lift after EMFACE. These results are long-lasting, too.
EMFACE Only Takes a Few Minutes
EMFACE is not an all-day procedure that requires you to re-plan your whole week. A single treatment takes about 20 minutes, and most patients need four treatments to get the results they desire. There is nothing you need to do to prepare for EMFACE treatment, and you can leave the doctor’s office as soon as the treatment is over.
EMFACE Can Be Customized
Did you know that there are at least 20 different muscles in the face? With EMFACE, your practitioner can target specific muscles in order to help achieve your desired look. Perhaps your chin is looking less toned than the rest of your face. If so, your practitioner can focus on the muscles in your chin, using the EMFACE applicator to stimulate and tone them. If the muscles to the sides of your eyes are weak, they can focus there instead. Every session is a little bit different and is fully customized to meet the patient’s needs.
