EMFACE®
What Is EMFACE®?
The Emface device is specially designed to increase muscle tone and eliminate wrinkles in facial skin with a combination of electromagnetic and radiofrequency (RF) energy. This combination simultaneously treats facial skin while lifting loose skin and removing facial fat. Collagen and elastin are important proteins in the skin that give it volume and a firm texture. As we age, collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. Emface treatment combats this aging effect with heat energy that triggers the body’s natural healing response and new collagen growth.
The added muscle stimulation from electromagnetic energy pulses creates more dramatic enhancements by improving skin texture and muscle tone in the deeper layers of facial tissue. These high-intensity electromagnetic pulses stimulate involuntary muscle contractions to build muscle and give more support to sagging facial tissues.
What are the Benefits of Emface?
Emface is a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment that rejuvenates the face with a multitude of benefits, including:
- Smoother skin and improved skin texture
- Visible lifting of facial contours, including the brow, jawline, and cheeks
- Increased collagen and elastin fibers for long-term skin quality improvements
- A more youthful appearance without the risks or recovery time of a surgical facelift
- Improved resting muscle tone and reduced skin laxity
- Fast treatment sessions; 20 minutes with no downtime

Who Can Benefit from Emface® Treatments?
Men and women who want to improve the appearance of wrinkles and skin laxity while lifting and toning facial tissues can benefit from the Emface procedure. Emface redefines the jawline, cheekbones, and brow while slowing down the clock on skin aging deep with the muscle structure.

What Happens During EMFACE®?
During your Emface treatment, you can relax in one of our treatment rooms while the Emface device does all the work. Emface technology is administered with a few small applicators placed on the cheeks and/or forehead. During treatment, you will feel a warming sensation from the RF energy and mild vibrations from the electromagnetic pulses, but this is considered comfortable by most of our patients. The procedure only takes 20 minutes and once you are done, you can immediately return to your daily activities.
Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements after just a few Emface sessions, with optimal results after a full four-session treatment protocol. Results will develop gradually as collagen rebuilds and muscle mass increases, but after a few months, you will see smoother skin with a lifted, youthful appearance.

Emface vs Traditional Facelift
While a traditional facelift surgically removes excess skin and repositions soft tissue, Emface offers a non-invasive alternative that requires no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Instead of stretching or cutting facial structures, the Emface device uses HIFES technology (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) to contract and strengthen the facial muscles, while radiofrequency energy penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This dual-action approach treats both the skin and underlying muscles, improving skin quality, reducing skin laxity, and delivering a natural lift.
How Long Do Emface Results Last?
After completing the recommended four treatments spaced one week apart, most patients notice tighter facial tissues, more defined facial contours, and fewer forehead lines, with full results developing within 6–12 weeks. The combined effects of increased collagen production, elastin fibers, and muscle contractions contribute to ongoing skin rejuvenation and a more youthful appearance that can last up to one year or more, especially when supported by maintenance sessions every 3–6 months.
Individual Emface results vary depending on skin type, treatment area, and age, so our team will develop a customized treatment protocol to maximize your outcome. Emface is suitable for most skin tones and types, though patients with metal implants in the treatment area may not be eligible.
EMFACE® FAQs
How does Emface work?
Emface is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) to tone facial muscles and lift the skin. The RF energy heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, while HIFES contracts the facial muscles to improve muscle density and structure.
Who is a good candidate for Emface?
Emface is ideal for individuals looking to achieve a subtle lift, improved skin firmness, and enhanced facial definition without surgery or injectables. It’s best suited for people in their 30s to 60s experiencing mild to moderate sagging, volume loss, or early signs of aging.
How long does Emface treatment take?
Each Emface session typically takes about 20 minutes. Most patients complete a series of four sessions, spaced one week apart.
Are Emface results permanent?
While Emface provides long-lasting results, they are not considered permanent. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 6–12 months to help preserve your facial lift and tone.
Is there any downtime after Emface?
No, Emface is completely non-invasive and requires no downtime. Some people experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, but these effects usually subside within an hour.
What are the side effects of Emface?
Side effects with Emface are minimal. The most commonly reported effects include temporary redness, muscle twitching during treatment, or a sensation of warmth in the treated areas.
How does Emface compare to other facial treatments?
Unlike injectables or surgical lifts, Emface simultaneously targets both skin and muscle using technology, not needles or incisions. Compared to microneedling or RF microneedling, Emface is entirely non-invasive and painless.
Can Emface be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Emface can be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments. Combining Emface with other therapies can provide comprehensive results by addressing different aspects of facial aging.
What does the Emface treatment feel like?
During the procedure, you’ll feel gentle warmth and rhythmic muscle contractions across the treated areas, similar to a facial workout. While it may feel unusual at first, most people find the treatment comfortable and even relaxing.
How soon will I see results from Emface?
Some patients notice an improvement in facial tightness and muscle tone within a few days after the first session. However, full results typically develop gradually over 6–12 weeks as collagen regenerates and muscles strengthen.
