How to know if you're a suitable candidate for EMface
As we age, our muscles and skin of the face begin to lose firmness which can lead to sagging, softer contours and a reduction in the "lifted' look that we often associate with youthful skin. EMface is the first and only needle-free procedure that simultaneously treats facial skin and muscles in just a 20-minute session, without needles, surgery or downtime.
In this blog, award-winning Aesthetic Doctor and skin health specialist, Dr Christine Or will help you determine how to know if you're a suitable candidate for EMface before having the treatment.
What is EMface?
EMface is an innovative facial treatment that works on both the skin and facial muscles, combining two advanced and clinically proven technologies:
Synchronized radiofrequency (RF) to improve skin quality, firmness and collagen production.
High-intensity focussed electrical stimulation (HIFES) to strengthen and lift the facial muscles.
The result is a naturally lifted appearance, improved facial contours and smoother skin, with no needles, downtime or pain. EMface Submentum can treat a double chin and EMface Eyes can treat the area to reduce eye bags and dark circles.
Who is a suitable candidate for EMface?
The EMface treatment is suitable for patients who are seeking subtle and natural facial rejuvenation. You may be a suitable candidate for the EMface if:
You are noticing early to moderate signs of ageing: the treatment works best for patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity, softening of facial contours, or a gradual loss of firmness, particularly in the cheeks and jawline.
You are seeking a non-invasive treatment instead of injectables: EMface offers a comfortable and non-invasive option with no downtime, for patients considering dermal filler treatments to create an initial tightening and lift of the face.
You prefer natural results to looking "done": this treatment enhances your own facial structure and features by strengthening muscles and improving skin quality rather than adding volume or changing your appearance. Patients can expect to look refreshed and lifted, not "done".
You have a healthy lifestyle: Patients who use medical-grade skincare, lead a healthy lifestyle and understand that EMface delivers gradual and progressive results over time, tend to be the most satisfied with the results of their treatment.
You are a younger patient seeking preventative treatments: For younger patients EMface can treat the deep facial skin layers and be used as a preventative treatment.
You are short on time: the EMface treatment takes approximately 20 minutes and there is no downtime apart from a little redness, so it is ideal for those who have busy schedules.
Who may not be a suitable candidate for EMface?
EMface is a safe, effective and non-invasive treatment for many patients, however you may not be a suitable candidate if you:
Are pregnant
Have metal implants in the treatment area
Have certain neurological or muscle-related conditions
Dr Christine advises a thorough consultation with an Aesthetic doctor or skin specialist to determine the suitability of EMface for your skin concerns.
What results can you expect?
Many patients will start to notice improvements in facial tone and firmness after completing a course of EMface treatments, typically four sessions spaced apart over several weeks. The results continue to develop over time as collagen production increases and your facial muscles strengthen.
However it is important to note that EMface does not replace injectable or surgical treatments, but can be an excellent option for patients seeking a natural lift, improved definition and healthier looking skin without downtime.
