As you age, your body naturally slows down, producing fewer skin-repairing proteins, building muscle less efficiently, and healing more slowly. These side effects of getting older often result in looser skin, weaker facial muscles, and an uneven complexion. At The Dermatology Center of McKinney, we perform Emface near Prosper, TX, to target visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
Let’s explore Emface’s technology and benefits to learn if it’s the right solution for your needs.
What is Emface?
Emface uses the power of two unique technologies: high-intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES) and radiofrequency (RF) heating, to build muscle and tighten skin. In your initial consultation, our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. James Ralston, can answer any questions you have about this treatment. Here’s a look at these two technologies and how they can enhance your look.
HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation)
When we place the Emface applicators on your forehead, under eyes, cheeks, and/or chin, the HIFES triggers thousands of facial muscle contractions at a rapid pace. These contractions strengthen key facial muscles, lifting the overlying skin and helping restore youthful fullness.
RF (Radiofrequency) Energy
Emface also emits RF energy, which amplifies the effects of HIFES and offers its own skin-rejuvenating benefits. RF energy generates heat, which penetrates your skin’s deeper tissues, supporting more effective muscle contractions. This warmth also activates your body’s natural defense response by signaling an abnormal temperature to immune cells.
As part of this response, your body increases its production of collagen and elastin—two essential skin proteins. Collagen and elastin strengthen your skin’s internal structure and improve its elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
The synergistic effects of HIFES and RF heating sculpt the natural contours of your upper and lower face, providing a nonsurgical facelift. The extent of these benefits can vary depending on the skin concerns you want to target, as we also offer applicators for your submentum and eyes.
Emface Submentum
The Emface submentum applicator fits beneath your chin where it works to reduce accumulated fat and sagging skin. Great for treating a double chin or jowls, Emface submentum helps define your jawline for a more sculpted overall appearance.
Emface Eye
Over a lifetime, repeated facial movements have a significant impact on your facial skin, especially around your eyes. At The Dermatology Center of McKinney, we administer Emface Eye to address all those years of smiling and squinting. This revolutionary under-eye applicator works alongside the forehead and cheek pads to target crow’s feet, dark circles, and other concerns around the eyes.
Emface Treatment Details
When we perform Emface near Prosper, the average session takes 20 minutes. Because the procedure is noninvasive, Emface doesn’t require any downtime—you can return to your daily routine immediately after your appointment. To achieve noticeable, lasting results, we recommend scheduling 4 to 6 Emface sessions.
Enhance Your Results
To further enhance your skin quality, we recommend adding Agnes Targeted RF microneedling to your treatment plan. RF microneedling can smooth skin around your eyes, among other areas of the body, by boosting collagen and elastin production. Combining Emface with RF microneedling can deliver dramatically enhanced results that approach those of surgical procedures, but without the associated downtime, risks, or recovery.
