If you have been accused of skin care trends and aesthetic treatments, you have probably come across the popular EmFace technology on social media platforms in the current period, so what is it?
EmFace is a new facial treatment that works in the same way as Botox, but superficially on the skin, reaching the facial muscles from the inside, reducing the fear of injections and the long-term problems that Botox and other treatments can cause.
Using both radiofrequency and electromagnetic technologies, the treatment takes just 20 minutes, is completely painless and involves no downtime or side effects, making it an alluring technology for every skincare and beauty fanatic.
What is EmFace technology?
As revealed by dermatologists and experts in the world of aesthetic treatments, EmFace technology is a new concept of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, which combines radiofrequency to treat superficial wrinkles and electromagnetic stimulation to treat deep tissue laxity by targeting facial mimicry muscles that lift the face.
On the surface of the skin, the radiofrequency component of the treatment helps stimulate collagen and elastin. EmFace also heats the skin tissue to stimulate increased fibroblast activity, which leads to increased synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibers. In addition, old collagen and elastin fibers are broken down and rebuilt again.
The radiofrequency waves that improve skin tissue also improve the connective tissue under the skin, giving more facial tightness and elasticity and reduced fine lines, hence the Botox comparison.
Electromagnetic technology known as HIFES (High Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation), is what sculpts and lifts the muscles in the face, giving that new look. HIFES technology stimulates contractions in the facial muscles, and these contractions trigger a tissue response leading to muscle protein synthesis and muscle tissue regeneration. , giving the facial muscles a greater structure, increasing the volume in the middle of the face and improving the nasolabial fold, and the result is a decrease in the chin area and an increase in the sculpting of the jawline.
Why is EmFace touted as an alternative to Botox and fillers?
Although the treatments themselves couldn’t be more different, the results of EmFace can be similar to some injections.
Modern technology reduces wrinkles and increases volume, and the remaining tissue in EmFace is caused by molding the collagen of the dermis, instead of causing muscle paralysis due to Botox injections or swelling due to dermal filler gels, and accordingly this technology treats the mechanism of aging instead of camouflaging it, and it also Longer lasting.
What happens during an EmFace treatment?
Some frequencies are connected to the face through the dedicated device, through the lower cheeks and forehead, during this process you will feel the warmth of the radio frequency, but you should not feel pain or discomfort, these vibrations will stimulate your facial muscles, the radio frequency will give a feeling of hot massage and the electromagnetic stimulation part will give a sensation It tickles rather than hurts, and the entire treatment lasts just 20 minutes.
Are there risks associated with EmFace technology?
So far, doctors treating this new technology have not detected any risks or side effects on the skin, but like all energy-based devices, it cannot be used on patients with permanent fillings or metal screws or implants.
