If you’re considering EMFACE, the innovative non-invasive facial lifting and wrinkle-reducing treatment, maybe you're curious: What does it really feel like? Is it painful? Is it awkward? And if you’re a provider thinking of offering the EMFACE service, you’d better be prepared let your clients know how the treatment will feel.
Well, no need to fret, you've come to the right place because we have all the answers. Before writing this article, I tried the treatment with both PERFECT FACE™ 6D Complete and Professional PERFECT FACE™ Skin Ultra 7D. So now allow me to clarify for you what EMFACE is, how it feels and whether you should try it:
Firstly, we’d better explain what EMFACE is and how it works. EMFACE uses high-intensity facial electrical muscle stimulation (HIFES ) plus mono-polar radio frequency (RF) technology to induce continuous involuntary contraction of facial muscles and repair of the dermal cells.
The 20 minute treatment is completely painless and achieves enhanced muscle strength and resting tension, while boosting collagen and elastin for enhanced facial musculature and younger looking facial appearance.
Unveil a stronger, healthier, more toned, more energized, renewed version of yourself from the inside out. It's a non-invasive facial anti-aging treatment that you simply must experience!
The principle of EMFACE is to release HIFES and RF energies directly into the facial tissue through disposable treatment patches, which are affixed to the face throughout the treatment. The fusion of two energies creates a synergistic impact, inducing rhythmic muscle contractions and enhancements, fortifying muscle strength and relaxation, reinforcing facial muscle structure and fascia, while the radio frequency uniformly warms the dermis to promote collagen and elastin fiber production. This process enhances the facial contour and shapes the face, improving skin texture for a cheerful, more defined, revitalized look.
Now, let’s return to the main topic, what does EMFACE treatment actually feel like? Let's break it down into 4 steps:
① What happens: Before treatment, make sure the skin is clean and dry. To get a better result, you can apply toner and then apply massage cream on the target area evenly and do facial massage. After doing massage on the face, you can apply toner again for a few minutes for complete absorption.
② Tips: It's important to remember to place the negative electrode plate under the patient’s back. Ensure the plate is kept about 15-20cm away from the target facial area, without any bubbles or creases.
① What happens: If your machine is the PERFECT FACE™ 6D Complete, then you’ll place up to 6 adhesive patches on the forehead, cheeks, eyes and chin. Each patch contains hundreds or electrodes, some of which emit RF energy and some of which emit HICFES electrical energy. If your machine is Professional PERFECT FACE™ Skin Ultra 7D, then you’ll be able to place up to 7 electrodes.
② Sensation: It feels as though stickers are being pressed onto the face.
① What happens: Advanced mono-polar radio-frequency technology safely delivers targeted heating up to about 42°C deep into the skin. This leads to superior heat, promoting new collagen and elastin growth to reduce wrinkles and reverse aging effects. The heating of muscle tissue also ensures maximum effectiveness, while the machine’s thermal sensors prevent skin from overheating. The facial muscles contract involuntarily, like a workout for your face.
② Sensation: Like a hot stone massage from the inside—not painful and a strong tingling + twitching feeling.
① What happens: This step soothes the skin. You can now apply a reparative mask to the targeted facial area for 10-15 minutes.
② Sensation: Slightly flushed feeling, but no actual pain.
