EMFACE

Preparation for EMFACE treatment is straightforward.  Come to our clinic with a clean face without makeup or skincare products.  Otherwise, these may interfere with the adhesive nature of the EMFACE treatment pads on the forehead and cheeks.  At SPMA , your face may be prepared further with cleansing or alcohol pads to remove any residual oils, moisturizers, or skincare.

During an EMFACE treatment, we will place the applicators on the cheeks and forehead. As the applicators emit RF and HIFES energies, you’ll experience muscle contractions and heating sensations in the skin. This process takes only 20 minutes to perform, most patients are in and out of the office in well under an hour. You will be able to return to your normal activities immediatly after treatment.

There is no downtime or recovery process required after Emface treatments. You can return to your normal activities immediately. Some patients may experience minor redness or sensitivity in the treatment area, but any side effects typically resolve within a few hours.

Most patients will begin to feel results immediatly after treatment, although it can take a few months for the full results to become visible. Generally, optimal results are noticed approximately 3 months after your final treatment session. We typically recommend a series of 4 to 6 Emface treatment sessions performed at weekly intervals.

If you’re looking for a needle-free, non-invasive treatment that delivers fewer wrinkles and more lift, you may be a good candidate for EMFACE. However the best way to determine your candidacy for treatment is to schedule a consultation. Based on your specific goals and desires, plus a number of factors such as your age, weight, and lifestyle, we will help you select the procedure or procedures that are right for you.

A healthy lifestyle including diet and exercise maintenance are encouraged during any aesthetic facial treatment. An increase in weight will allow fat stores to accumulate which may affect facial contours or transition from face to neck. Weight changes may obscure the effects of EMFACE treatment, or impact how HIFES energy levels are delivered during treatment.

EMFACE has not been studied for use in conjunction with other medical or cosmetic procedures.  However, EMFACE can be combined with noninvasive facial procedures from injectable neuromodulators, to energy-based technologies such as EXION Face and EXION RF microneedling.  SPMA staff use a combination treatment, but often space procedures out for optimized outcomes, safety, manufacturer’s guidance, and patient comfort and downtime.

No, forehead wrinkles typically diminish with EMFACE treatment to the frontalis muscle.  The forehead muscle mass increases its resting tone, which supports the forehead tissues more adequately.  RF treatment of the skin with EMFACE helps stimulate new collagen and elastin formation, leading to improvements in skin texture

EMFACE is sold as a package of typically four treatments.  Periodic maintenance with a single treatment every 6 months is encouraged.  Price is determined by the areas treated:  full face, forehead only, or cheeks only.
