WHAT IS EMFACE?
Two Technologies, Two Layers of Aging
EMFACE combines High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES™) with synchronized radiofrequency (RF) energy. Together, they address two key causes of facial aging: weakening muscles and loosening skin.
HIFES delivers controlled stimulation to key facial muscles, like the zygomaticus (cheek lift) and frontalis (brow support), to strengthen and tone them. At the same time, RF gently heats the dermis to boost collagen and elastin, improving firmness, fine lines, and texture.

Where EMFACE Can Help
Your provider will recommend the right areas for your goals. EMFACE can treat:
Forehead & Brows
Supports a lifted brow and smooths forehead lines.
Cheeks & Mid-Face
Tones the cheek muscles for natural lift and fuller contour.
Jawline & Chin
The submental applicator helps define the jawline and under-chin area.
Under Eyes

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
EMFACE Questions, Answered
How many EMFACE treatments are recommended?
Most patients complete a series of four sessions about one week apart. Your provider will recommend a personalized plan based on your facial anatomy, skin, and goals.
When will I start seeing results?
Some patients notice subtle improvement within a few weeks. Because muscle strengthening and collagen production happen gradually, results continue to build over the following months.
How long do EMFACE results last?
Results can last several months or longer, depending on your age, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Many patients choose maintenance treatments once or twice a year.
Is EMFACE painful?
Most patients describe a warming sensation with gentle muscle contractions. It’s generally well tolerated and doesn’t require numbing.
Is there any downtime?
No. You may have mild redness right after treatment, but it typically resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
How is EMFACE different from Botox or fillers?
Injectables relax muscles or add volume. EMFACE strengthens facial muscles and stimulates collagen, so it works differently and can complement injectables as part of a complete plan.
Can EMFACE be combined with other treatments?
Yes. EMFACE often pairs well with treatments like facials, RF microneedling, and injectables. If you get tox or filler, we’ll plan the timing so they work together.
Who should avoid EMFACE?
EMFACE may not be suitable if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have a pacemaker or certain implanted metal devices, have an active skin infection or severe inflammatory condition, or are undergoing aggressive facial treatments.
