Before Emface™, if you wanted to sculpt your facial features or smooth fine lines you would require neurotoxin injections (like Botox®) or filler injections. Now, Emface™ addresses those very same issues in a more natural, needle free, and subtle way.

Fillers inject HAs (hyaluronic acid) into the face which add volume and lift with results appearing in 1-2 weeks while Botox™ and other neurotoxins, paralyze or "freeze" facial muscles to prevent lines and wrinkles from forming with results showing within 1-2 weeks.

On the other hand, Emface™ strengthens facial muscles to add volume and lift. In addition, the treatment uses RF (radio frequency) heat to smooth lines and forehead wrinkles.

In other words, Emface™ accomplishes what fillers and neurotoxin injections like botox treat all in one treatment. The only difference however, is that Emface™ has more natural and subtler results that last longer and appear gradually up to 3 months for results to completely show.

Many clients believe Emface™ is their replacement for both fillers and Botox® injections, however, this procedure is not for clients who want to completely hide their forehead lines with neurotoxin injections or add a lot of volume to your facial contour with fillers.

If you are looking for natural and subtle results yet don't mind waiting a couple months as your collagen and elastin production work miracles behind the scenes, then Emface™ is the perfect treatment for you!

The timeline for seeing results from Emface™, a non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment, can vary based on individual factors like age, skin condition, and lifestyle. However, there is a general timeline you can expect:

1. Immediate Post-Treatment: Right after the treatment, there may not be any noticeable changes. Some individuals might experience a slight lifting or tightening sensation, but visible changes are typically not immediate.
2. First Few Weeks: In the weeks following your treatment, you may start to notice subtle improvements. The technology used in Emface™ stimulates collagen production and muscle conditioning, which develops gradually.
3. 1-3 Months: This is often when significant changes become more noticeable. As your skin continues to produce collagen and the muscles are more toned, you may see a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and an improvement in overall facial contour.
4. 3-6 Months: For many patients, the full effects of the treatment are visible within this timeframe. The outcome includes improved skin texture, lifted facial contours, and a more youthful appearance.
5. Long-Term Results: The longevity of Emface™ results can vary. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, good skincare routine, and possibly follow-up sessions as recommended by your Nob Hill Aesthetics provider can help sustain the results.
6. Individual Variation: It's important to remember that everyone's skin responds differently. Factors like the natural aging process, skin type, and how well you care for your skin post-treatment can influence the timing and extent of the results.

Your Nob Hill Aesthetics Emface™ provider will be able to give you a more personalized timeline based on your specific circumstances. They can also advise you on any additional treatments or maintenance sessions that might be beneficial to enhance or prolong your results.

If you're familiar with Emsculpt Neo™ for your body, Emface™ works in a similar way. Emface™ uses High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation—or HIFES—to contract and strengthen the delicate facial muscles, causing a lifting effect.

EMFace™ combines radiofrequency with electromagnetic stimulation, focusing on the elevators of the face—the frontalis and the zygomaticus major and minor muscles. The frontalis elevates the brow. The zygomaticus major and minor muscles elevate the corners of the mouth and lift the face.

The combination of the treatments increases the tone and size of these muscles and also decreases wrinkles

Emface™ is considered safe for most individuals seeking non-invasive facial rejuvenation. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are certain aspects to consider regarding its safety:

1. Technology and Methodology

• Emface™ combines synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES™) technologies.
• These technologies are designed to target skin laxity and muscle tone without invasive procedures.

2. FDA Clearance

• Emface™ has received FDA clearance for its intended use, which is a tested indicator of its safety and efficacy.

3. Side Effects

• Common side effects are typically minimal and may include temporary redness, warmth, or tingling in the treated area.
• Serious side effects are rare, especially when the procedure is performed by your qualified and experienced Nob Hill Aesthetics Emface™ providers.

4. Individual Suitability

• Not everyone is an ideal candidate for Emface™. The treatment is more suitable for individuals experiencing certain types of skin aging symptoms like mild to moderate skin laxity and facial wrinkles.
• It might not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, skin diseases, or those who are pregnant.

5. Nob Hill Aesthetics Emface™ Expertise

• The safety of the procedure is greatly enhanced when performed by your Nob Hill Aesthetics trained, experienced, and licensed provider.

6. Patient Reviews and Clinical Studies

• Looking into our client testimonials and other general clinical study results to discover insights into the safety and satisfaction rates of Emface™ treatments.

7. Consultation and Assessment

• A thorough pre-treatment consultation is crucial. This is when potential risks, individual health considerations, and contraindications are discussed.

Conclusion

While Emface™ is considered safe for many individuals, it's important to discuss your specific health situation, expectations, and any concerns with your Nob Hill Aesthetics Emface™ provider who can provide personalized advice and ensure the highest safety standards are met.

Before undergoing an Emface™ treatment, a non-invasive procedure aimed at rejuvenating the skin and improving facial contours, you can expect to go through several preparatory steps:

3. Pre-Treatment Instructions: You may be advised to follow a specific skincare routine leading up to the treatment, such as avoiding certain products or treatments that could irritate the skin.

4. Medications and Supplements: Inform your practitioner about any medications or supplements you're taking, as some may need to be paused before the treatment.

5. Avoidance of Certain Activities: You might be advised to avoid activities that can increase skin sensitivity, like extensive sun exposure or tanning.
