The treated area will be wiped with a cleanser before the procedure to remove any moisture, perfume, moisturisers, or oils. You will be asked to remove all metallic accessories and electronic devices.

Treatment times are approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Both the Face and Submentum applications are non-invasive. The skin tissue will be heated to 40-42°C to stimulate fibroblast activity, the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibres and the decomposition of old collagen and elastin fibres. In addition the HIFES^TM technology selectively induces supramaximal contractions in the facial elevator muscles, triggering muscle protein synthesis and myofiber renewal. This means you will feel a comfortable heating sensation and muscle contractions in your face.

Following EMFACE® treatment some people experience erythema (redness) and mild swelling in the treated area. Both will likely resolve within 2 to 24 hours following treatment. Dry skin in the treatment area can occur during the first 12 to 48 hours after treatment. EMFACE® treatments can be completed in a lunchtime and do not have ‘downtime’.

EMFACE® addresses wrinkles in the face – including deep static lines, skin laxity, and unwanted volume in the face and/or double chin area. EMFACE® treatments are designed to achieve facial contouring and lifting.

You can choose how many treatments you want. However, 4 treatments are recommended for optimal results, with 2 to 14 days between each session. Completing the recommended 4 sessions will maximise the device efficacy. Some people may require additional sessions depending on the severity of your presenting concerns.

The skin tissue will be heated to 40-42°C to stimulate fibroblast activity – the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibres and the decomposition of old collagen and elastin fibres. In addition the HIFES^TM technology selectively induces supramaximal contractions in the facial elevator muscles, triggering muscle protein synthesis and myofiber renewal. This means you will feel a comfortable heating sensation and muscle contractions in your face.

You will begin to see tangible results after your series of 4 treatments scheduled between 2 and 14 days apart. Optimal results of the EMFACE® are usually reported in 90 days after the last session.

The general answer is Yes. Although there is a risk of the implant heating because RF heat disperses to metal, although it is a very superficial heating of the skin, and HIFES targets muscles and should not affect the bones of the mouth. It is important to let your Practitioner know if you feel heat in your mouth. Retainers are typically not bulky enough to be a contraindication for treatment.

Yes, this does not impact your suitability for EMFACE®
