What is EmFace?

BTL Emface is a non-invasive facial treatment that lifts and tones the skin—without needles or downtime. It combines radiofrequency and HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) technology to simultaneously reduce wrinkles and strengthen facial muscles, giving you a natural, youthful look in just a few sessions.

The younger the patient the fewer the number of sessions, with the minimum number being 4 treatments.

Generally 6 sessions are recommended for optimal results and the older we get, the more sessions will be required to get you to a happy place.

It works differently and synergistically with neurotoxins… Emface is building collagen and elastin and toning muscles (allowing full range of motion of the facial muscles) while neurotoxins relax and paralyze the treated muscles. Both have a place.

Simply put: Emface builds and lifts; neurotoxins freeze and smooth. Many people choose to combine both for optimal results, depending on their aesthetic goals.

Which parts of the face can be treated?

There are 4 treatment areas - the forehead, under eyes, cheeks, and under the chin. You can do minimally 2 sites (upper face or lower face) or 3 or all 4 sites.

If are interested in one site alone, results can vary immensely. If you already manage your forehead with Botox, one could have success with the under-eye site alone.

What does this have to do with airway?

A few things…

Treating the chin/jawline will do several things: reduce fat (yes, you can eliminate that double chin), tone the muscles of the floor of the mouth, elevate the hyoid bone which helps reduce the collapsing tongue during apneas/hypopneas, and make your profile look awesome! No other treatment can do this without surgery.

Sleep challenged humans often look tired. With Emface eye treatment, patients experience a reduction in dark circles AND bags!!!

This is facial rejuvenation. Patients look healthier, the skin is more vibrant, emotionally it gives you a boost from just how good you can look with toned facial muscles.

What is the experience?

During an Emface treatment, most people describe the sensation as warm, comfortable, and a bit tingly. You'll feel a gentle heating from the radiofrequency energy, similar to a warm facial, along with mild muscle contractions caused by the HIFES™ technology. These contractions feel like a tapping or pulsing sensation—almost like a workout for your face!

The treatment is completely needle-free and pain-free, and there's no need for numbing cream or recovery time. In fact, many patients find it relaxing and even enjoy the experience.

The only part that is little interesting is the forehead when the HIFES is contracting the muscles. It feels like your scalp is getting a little tickled and stretched. No pain! A bit of giggles are generally experienced.
