The Science Behind Emface
Emface uses a combination synchronized radiofrequency energy and HIFES™ energy to stimulate tissue layers beneath the skin.
This process increases collagen and elastin production while helping tighten skin at the same time, remodeling the tissue for a lifted, more sculpted look without surgery or needles.
You’ll meet with us first for a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals. After examining your skin and determining that Emface is the best treatment match for you, we’ll recommend a specific number of treatments tailored to your desired results.
The procedure requires no anesthesia and is not painful. You’ll lay back and relax as we apply the treatment pads to your forehead and both cheeks. One treatment is only 20 minutes and many describe the feeling as a warming sensation, almost like a relaxing massage.
Typically yes, having Botox and/or filler does not rule you out as a candidate for Emface. You may even require less Botox after completing Emface treatments. Many people receive these treatments in combination as a part of their treatment plan and goals.
We’ll determine if a treatment combination is right for you during your consultation.
One of the best parts of this facial treatment is that there is zero downtime. Your skin will not be sensitive, you will not bruise, and you can get right back to your day post-treatment. You may feel a tightness in your facial muscles, similar to how your abdominal muscles feel after an ab workout.
Just like going to the gym, the results are progressive after an Emface treatment. This process kickstarts your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, improving laxity and adding glow to your skin over the weeks following your treatment session. You’ll notice the most results after you complete the final treatment session in your Emface treatment plan.
If you have concerns about skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, and other signs of aging, you may be an excellent candidate for Emface. One of the biggest benefits of this treatment is the fact that there are no needles, no incisions, and no invasive elements. The best candidates for Emface do not have any contraindications and have realistic expectations. Contact us to learn more or schedule your consultation.
Yes! While Emface in Elgin is an effective choice for anyone looking to reduce stubborn fat on their face, it can’t provide results for your entire body. Fortunately, at Dundee Dermatology, we have several effective body contouring treatment options.
Emtone
Emtone uses mechanical and thermal energy to treat cellulite. By breaking up the fat deposits beneath the skin, we can smooth out your appearance for a healthier, fitter look.
Like Emtone, Cellutone is an effective treatment for reducing cellulite. However, as opposed to Emtone, which uses thermal energy, Cellutone uses vibrations to stimulate oxygen and blood flow to the treatment area, reducing cellulite.
Another body contouring option we offer is Emsculpt NEO, which uses radiofrequency and HIFEM+ to burn fat cells and build muscle. This results in a more defined silhouette for increased confidence.
Because Emface tightens and defines the face, some patients mistakenly assume that the treatment actually helps the patient lose weight in the face, but this isn’t the case. Instead of burning fat, Emface stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. By stimulating the skin with radiofrequency energy, we can force the body to produce collagen and elastin proteins, which tighten and repair damaged skin.
While Emface in Elgin is not a weight-loss procedure, you can boost your results by maintaining a healthier lifestyle. Prioritize routine exercise and a nutritious diet, so you can enjoy a lasting contoured facial appearance.
Collagen and elastin proteins are instrumental in the facial contouring process. The body naturally produces these proteins in response to injury. When you stumble and scrape an elbow or a knee, the body creates collagen and elastin proteins and sends these to the injury site. These proteins can rebuild and repair damaged tissue, so your skin looks beautiful and healthy again.
We stimulate the production of these proteins during the Emface process, so we can counter the physical signs of aging. As you age, your body produces less collagen and elastin proteins, leaving the skin looking droopy and saggy, specifically in areas like the chin. Collagen and elastin proteins can tighten sagging skin for a more youthful and healthy look.
The Emface treatment process doesn’t require any intensive preparation. There are, however, steps you can take to ensure the process goes smoothly. For one, come to your Emface treatment with a clean face, removing any lotions, sunscreens, or makeup.
Additionally, take off any piercings you may have on the face, especially those on the chin or nose. Drink lots of water before your session, and refrain from alcohol. We also recommend being at or near your goal weight before your Emface treatment.
When you’re at a healthy weight prior to your Emface treatment, you can see optimal results.
