We’re living in a time of advancement and discovery—especially in the skin and body area. Much of the “that just happens as you age” rhetoric around your face and body are now being replaced with rebuttals citing new inventions and technology that make those statements false.
With the knowledge and technology we have today, “that just happens as you age” is no longer a valid explanation. With EmFace and EmSculpt, that’s even more true.
Taking us through how this new technology works is Dana Baker, Aesthetic nurse at Apex Dermatology in Hudson. She says, “The thing I’m most excited for is to offer these new technologies to my patients who have been wanting new options to achieve their skin and body goals.”
EmFace: Younger-Looking Skin in a Nutshell
There’s only so much topical treatment work you can do on your skin. Skin isn’t the only factor in aging. When your muscles weaken with age, it shows in your skin. EmFace is a solution for that.
What is EmFace?
“EmFace is a laser treatment which targets muscles and skin simultaneously to tighten, lift, and tone the face.”
Have you ever done a workout for your face? Probably not, because it’s not the easiest place to learn exercises to tone and lift, but it can be toned and lifted. But EmFace doesn’t just tone the muscles beneath the skin, it also targets the skin for an even treatment.
How does EmFace work?
For the skin element, Dana explains, “Synchronized RF remodels and smooths skin by heating the dermis and increasing the levels of collagen and elastin fibers.”
At the same time, “The HIFES technology restores and elevates support of facial tissues by selectively contracting muscles and increasing density and quality of muscle structure.”
Basically, a workout for your face, and just like you’re able to target certain muscles during a workout, EmFace can target specific areas that you have goals for improving.
What results can I expect from EmFace Treatment?
Results will always vary from person to person because it depends on so many factors.
That said, Dana explains that on average, you can expect, “an increase in collagen, elastin, and resting muscle tone. This leads to an average of 37% less wrinkles and 23% more lift.”
The more clear you are with your dermatologist about your goals and overall skincare regimen, the more results you can expect.
What is the downtime?
EmFace is a non-invasive procedure that requires no recovery or downtime. You can get a treatment over your lunch hour and return to work without worry.
How long does it take to see results and how long do they last?
You begin to feel your EmFace results right after the treatments.
“Optimal results are usually reported in 90 days after the last session and continue to improve for several weeks following the treatment.”
Do you recommend additional treatments with EmFace?
Treatment protocol consists usually of four to six 20-minute treatments, scheduled 5-10 days apart.
“The EmFace is a game changer in facial aesthetics because it lifts and smooths without needles!”
