Concerns it addresses
What Emface treats
EmFace applies two energies through adhesive pads placed on the forehead and cheeks. Synchronised radiofrequency heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin, while HIFES, high-intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation, contracts the muscles that lift and support. Treating muscle is what makes it unusual, because almost every other facial treatment addresses skin or volume.
Face
Hooded Eyes
The frontalis at the brow contracted directly, where a brow sits lower than it did.
Skin
Crepey & Lax Skin
The radiofrequency half, improving skin quality while the muscle work goes on.
Before & After Results
Jawline
After the fourth treatment
EmFace treats the muscles that hold the lower face as well as the skin over them, which is why the jaw border sharpens without filler. Image courtesy of BTL, courtesy of Lesley Clark-Loeser, M.D. Individual results may vary.
Under the chin
After the fourth treatment
Submental fullness that is muscle and skin rather than fat responds here. Where it is mostly fat, Regents Park Aesthetics has a treatment designed for that too. Image courtesy of BTL, courtesy of Chris W. Robb, M.D. Individual results may vary.
Whole face
After a full course
The full course is four sessions about a week apart, and the result keeps building for around three months afterwards. Image courtesy of BTL Aesthetics. Individual results may vary.
Brow and eye area
After a full course
Lifting the forehead muscle opens the eye without touching the lid itself. A gentle, natural-looking lift that brightens the whole eye area. Image courtesy of BTL Aesthetics. Individual results may vary.
Radiofrequency and muscle stimulation, working together.
Twenty minutes, no needles and nothing injected.
Where it works
Where the EmFace Pads Sit
Forehead
The frontalis lifts the brow. Stronger-than-voluntary contractions over the course make it denser, so it holds the brow higher.
- Treats
- A brow sitting lower than it did
- Energy
- HIFES plus radiofrequency
Cheeks
The zygomatic muscles lift the cheeks. As they strengthen, the tissue above them is held more effectively.
- Treats
- Cheeks losing lift
- Energy
- HIFES plus radiofrequency
Jawline
Expect a subtle lift and a cleaner, more defined jaw edge.
- Peak
- Around three months
- Lasts
- Around twelve months with maintenance
Twenty minutes lying down, warmth and rhythmic tugging. Straight back to your day afterwards. Four sessions across two to four weeks, improvement from week four, peak at three months.

Choosing between treatments
How EMFACE compares
Some treatments do the same job a different way. Others do a different job alongside it. The right combination depends on your skin and what you are treating; a consultation settles it.

Questions patients ask
Frequently asked questions
A needle-free device combining radiofrequency to stimulate collagen with electromagnetic stimulation that contracts the facial lifting muscles. Twenty minutes per session, four sessions.
Patients who would rather skip needles, and that is a large and happy group. It suits early to moderate laxity: a brow sitting lower than it did, cheeks losing lift, a jawline softening at the edges, and it works best from the late thirties through the fifties.
Where sagging is more significant, your clinician talks you through HIFU or a surgical opinion, so the plan you choose is the one that suits your face.
From £495 per session for one area, £595 for two and £695 for all three, with the course of four quoted at consultation.
You feel warmth and a rhythmic tugging as the muscles contract, curious for a minute and then relaxing. No numbing is needed.
None at all. Mild warmth for an hour and makeup goes straight back on.
Four, across two to four weeks. Keeping them close together gives the best effect. Maintenance is one or two sessions at six to twelve months.
The first fortnight lays the groundwork, with improvement from week four, peaking at around three months.
HIFU reaches the SMAS layer and produces a more substantial lift in a single session, also with no downtime. EmFace is milder and needle-free, treating muscle as well as skin. Patients comfortable with the sensation of HIFU usually see more from it.
Beautifully. EmFace lifts and tightens, while anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles that cause lines, so the two are commonly used together.
Yes. Neither radiofrequency nor electromagnetic stimulation targets pigment.
Yes, with a short gap. We leave two weeks either side because heat can affect recently placed filler.
