EMFACE

EMFACE in San Francisco, CA | Dr. Leonard Gray

The face makes hundreds of expressions every single day. Unfortunately, as time goes by, the facial muscles lose their tone to the point where the skin starts to sag. In addition to losing essential muscle tone, the continued use of facial muscles for expression results in deep-set wrinkles in areas like the brow, between the eyes, and around the mouth and jaw. While there is no stopping the inevitable aging process, there is a way to reverse muscle deterioration and the signs of aging that come along with it. With the non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment EMFACE, you can simultaneously treat facial skin and muscles, offering fast and effective results without having to consider recovery time associated with more invasive surgeries.

EMFACE is a revolutionary new treatment that uses both synchronized Radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES™ energies to tighten both facial muscles and skin in 20-minute sessions. Bay Area Plastic Surgery’s board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Leonard Gray is excited to offer this new treatment to patients interested in non-invasive aesthetic procedures to improve the youthful vitality of their appearance. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Gray has changed many lives with his unmatched skills, compassionate care, and surgical expertise.

What Is EMFACE?

The state-of-the-art EMFACE device provides effortless muscle definition, skin tightening, and fat reduction for men and women struggling with facial fullness, sagging, and loss of collagen and elasticity. EMFACE is set to become the aesthetic industry’s leading non-surgical, non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment to help smooth wrinkles and enhance patients’ natural facial contours.

BTL Aesthetics, the creators of EmSculpt NEO, has harnessed a solution using the same technology they use to tighten areas of the body—now for the face. EMFACE uses science-backed technology to deliver stunning results in quick, pain-free treatments.

How Does EMFACE Work?

EMFACE uses a combination of patented technologies, HIFES™ muscle building technology, and radiofrequency emissions to stimulate muscle development and damage fat cells with controlled heat for a noticeable facial lift, sharper contours, and improved muscle definition.

RF Energy for Collagen and Elastin Production

The radio frequency technology used in EMFACE is an FDA-approved heat therapy that helps to stimulate your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin. These two essential proteins work together to give your skin a natural glow, smooth texture, and a tightened effect.

HIFES™ Technology for Muscle Building

The HIFES™ technology gently stimulates your facial muscles, stimulating targeted muscle contractions to help build muscular strength. Essentially, it’s an intense workout for your facial muscles without having to go to a gym five days a week.

What to Expect During an EMFACE Treatment?

With an EMFACE procedure, there is no special preparation or recovery time required. During your session, our registered clinic nurse will attach the EMFACE applicators to your targeted area, which can include the forehead, cheeks, and jawline.

When the EMFACE device is activated, you’ll experience strong muscular contractions and a mild heating sensation in the treatment area. This should never be painful, but rather patients have reported it feeling quite pleasant, similar to a facial massage. While the innovative device eliminates fat cells and stimulates muscle definition, you can relax, read, or take a quiet nap until your treatment is over.

EMFACE Recovery

Due to the non-invasive nature of EMFACE, meaning it involves zero needles, incisions, or sutures, EMFACE treatments require zero recovery time. As a result, your facial muscles may feel tender or sore for the first few days following your treatment, but this quickly resolves itself and shouldn’t require any pain management.

You are free to resume normal activities immediately after your appointment is over.

EMFACE n in San Francisco — Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone who desires natural facial enhancement and is in good general health are potential candidates for EMFACE, but the best way to determine this is by consulting with a qualified professional. To make sure EMFACE is customized to your needs, our skilled aestheticians at Bay Area Plastic Surgery will assess your skin type, facial structure, and specific goals.

Individual outcomes may differ based on age, skin type, and lifestyle choices, but EMFACE treatments often have effects that last for around a year. Many experts advise planning maintenance procedures every three to six months in order to guarantee long-lasting results and preserve the young appearance.

A standard EMFACE treatment plan consists of four sessions, typically spaced one week apart. This timeline allows for the gradual buildup of improvements, such as tighter skin, reduced wrinkles, and enhanced facial contours. While some patients begin noticing subtle changes after the first or second session, the most dramatic results tend to appear about 12 weeks after completing the entire series.

For those wondering whether multiple sessions are necessary, it’s important to note that EMFACE works cumulatively, meaning each session builds on the last. Maintenance treatments help sustain the results and can be adjusted based on your unique needs.

Yes, EMFACE is considered safe for all skin types. Its advanced technology, which combines radiofrequency and electromagnetic stimulation, is designed to work effectively without causing harm to the skin’s surface. Because the procedure is non-invasive and doesn’t use needles or lasers, it can be used on a variety of skin kinds and tones.

To be sure it’s the best option for your unique needs and objectives, it’s crucial to speak with a competent practitioner, just like you would with any cosmetic surgery. They can determine your skin type and take care of any issues you may be having.

After an EMFACE treatment, you can expect minimal to no downtime. During the procedure, the majority of patients report experiencing a mild warming sensation, which usually goes away shortly. Mild redness or swelling in the treated regions may be noticed by some people, particularly those with more sensitive skin, but these side effects are often temporary and go away in a few hours to a day.

EMFACE doesn’t require a lot of aftercare or create severe sensitivity like invasive procedures do. Following the session, you can get right back to your regular activities. To optimize your results, staying hydrated and following any skincare recommendations from your provider is always a good idea.

After an EMFACE treatment, your post-care routine is quite simple since the procedure is non-invasive and requires little to no downtime. Here are some general tips to help maintain optimal results and keep your skin in great shape:

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support collagen production and keep your skin plump and healthy.

• Follow skincare recommendations: Your provider may suggest gentle skincare products or treatments to complement EMFACE and enhance results. Stick to their advice for the best outcome.

• Avoid harsh treatments: For the first few days post-treatment, avoid aggressive exfoliants, chemical peels, or anything that may irritate your skin.

• Sun protection: Apply sunscreen regularly to shield your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent any damage that could impact your results.

• Healthy lifestyle habits: Eating a balanced diet and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to longer-lasting benefits.

These steps can help maintain the youthful effects of EMFACE and keep your skin glowing.
