Emface®

See firmer skin and more muscle definition with this noninvasive facial treatment.

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.

Learn More About Emface®

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 stronger and more toned. This enhanced muscle tone provides a natural lifting effect.

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 firming your skin. 

This combination makes Emface® the only facial treatment to address both common causes of aging without surgery. This noninvasive skin tightening treatment results in a naturally more lifted, youthful appearance with more sculpted cheeks and other features.

Because of these dual effects, Emface® is often recommended for individuals who have lost weight with GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide. Volume lost from your facial features can be replaced with stronger muscles and tighter skin for a slim, lifted effect.

During your Emface® treatment, your Capital Laser & Skin Care dermatologist 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.

The plumping, volume-restoring results of Emface® have led many people to refer to it as a game-changing compliment to injectables. It helps to lift the face naturally and pairs beautifully with laser skin rejuvenation, fillers, and Botox.

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. It takes time for your skin to produce new collagen and elastin in response to the radiofrequency. Emface® results are long-lasting. Occasional maintenance sessions will keep your features looking smooth, full, and sculpted. Most patients only need one yearly treatment after the initial series.

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.

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, such as defibrillators or metal implants. 

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. Individuals who have lost weight with GLP-1 medications can see definite improvements in volume and lift.

Candidates should be aware that Emface® does not have the same results as a surgical procedure, however. Our board-certified dermatologists will assess your condition and discuss your goals to help you determine if Emface® is right for you.
