EMFACE® Treatments
Are you noticing a gradual sagging of your face as you age? Did you know that the muscles that lift the face get weaker as we get older? At Rejuvenation Clinic of Sauk Prairie, we’re dedicated to helping you look your best and are proud to be the first in the area to offer Emface, a unique, new technology that treats aging skin and muscle.
How Emface Works
Addressing aging facial muscles is a new concept in Aesthetics. Simply put, there are muscles in the face that lift (elevator muscles) and ones that pull down (depressor muscles). Emface is able to safely target the elevator muscles. Similar to our other BTL devices such as Emsculpt and Emsella, Emface uses a patented electromagnetic technology called HIFES or high-intensity focused electrical stimulation to activate the lifting muscles of the face. This unique treatment also combines radiofrequency (RF) which gently heats the skin to induce collagen and elastin production. The heat and muscle contraction results in a tighter, more youthful face. All of this is achieved in four-20 minute sessions, with little to no discomfort and no downtime.
What areas can Emface treat?
When first developed, Emface could treat two areas of the face, forehead and cheeks. By stimulating elevator muscles in the forehead, the skin becomes tighter and the eyes look more open and lifted. Treatments to the cheeks help lift the midface, resulting in improvements of the cheeks, under eyes, nasolabial folds and jowls.
Recently, BTL also launched a new area for treatment, the submentum or under chin area. Using a special applicator, Emface submentum lifts the muscles under the chin and jawline with HIFES. At the same time, it treats the skin and fat using RF heat which results in less skin laxity and reduction of the fat pad.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Emface?
With a few exceptions, anyone concerned with facial aging is a candidate for Emface. The treatment is most desired by people who wouldn’t consider plastic surgery, don’t want downtime and appreciate a natural look. Because it addresses 2-3 fundamentals of facial aging (skin, muscle and under chin fat), it may be superior to other non-surgical tightening devices.
Before Treatment
Emface consists of a series of four 20-minute sessions, usually around a week apart. The radio frequency aspect works best when you are well hydrated so drink plenty of water beforehand. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to lay reclined for a period of time. A grounding pad will be placed on your upper back and after the skin is cleaned with alcohol, the applicators are placed in the areas we want to target. We’re now ready to start the treatment.
During Treatment
The lights are dimmed, music is playing and you’ll lie relaxed for 20 minutes. The treatment starts with gradual warming heat and very mild contractions, feeling like a light vibration. Utilizing your feedback, the clinician makes small adjustments of the Emface technology until there is a visual contraction of the muscles and the heat is warm but tolerable.
After Treatment
Once the treatment is completed, the adhesive applicators and grounding pad is removed. There’s no downtime after the Emface treatment. The skin may feel slightly warm for a few minutes and can look pink. Typically, both of these effects are gone within 10 minutes. You’ll be able to go back to work or other social activities immediately after with no one suspecting you just had a non-surgical face lift! We recommend that you stay well hydrated the next couple days. In addition, we always suggest SPF and avoidance of prolonged sun exposure with any anti-aging treatment. Most people see a slight improvement immediately and have shared that they “just feel tighter”. However, the full results are gained about 2-3 months after the final Emface session.
