How Emface Works
Your face is a complex, interconnected structure of skin, tissues, muscles, and ligaments. All these pieces work together and balance each other out to help you express yourself. Over time, though, gravity and aging affect your features, pulling them down.
Emface addresses these issues by treating your skin and muscles simultaneously. Using high-intensity facial electrostimulation (HIFES), Emface stimulates your muscles to contract thousands of times in a single session.
Emface specifically targets your muscles of expression in your forehead, cheeks, and corners of your mouth. As these muscles become denser and healthier, they push against the frowning muscles that pull your face down. As a result, your face regains some natural lift.
At the same time, Emface also uses monopolar radio frequency energy to remodel your skin. This energy heats the deep tissues of your skin, increasing the production of collagen and elastin. With more of these proteins, your skin’s internal structure tightens, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You can look forward to more youthful, supple skin, more like you had back in the day!
What to Expect From Your Session
When you visit ThrIVE for Emface in Wheeling, we start by cleaning your face and positioning the applicator pads. Depending on your treatment plan and desired outcome, we place these on your forehead, cheeks, under the chin, and the muscles at the corners of your mouth.
Next, we adjust the energy levels for each pad, accounting for any imbalances or areas that need extra energy. As the treatment begins, you’ll simultaneously feel your skin growing warm and the sensation of your muscles contracting.
After 20 to 40 minutes, your session will wind down and end. We will remove the applicator pads, and you’re free to return to your day.
