Eventually, the natural ageing process comes to us all, but it doesn’t have to mean the end of our looks and sense of confidence and wellbeing. When the face starts to lose tissues such as bone, muscle and fat and the skin loses essential substances such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, it’s time to think about more sophisticated, clinic-based treatments, so we can retain our looks for longer. At Ihya we have painstakingly researched the very best device-led treatments on the market today and are proud to offer EMface as one of our facial rejuvenating offerings
EMface is a device which utilises synchronised radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES™ for optimum facial lifting and skin improvement.
The RF technology of EMface heats the deep layers of the skin, which improves the new formation of collagen and elastin. This helps to tighten and tone the skin. HIFES™ stimulation emits thousands of pulses which contract the delicate muscles of the face to lift, tone and strengthen them. This treatment may sound drastic but this state-of-the-art device is so sophisticated, that the surrounding tissues are not damaged during treatment.
Each EMface treatment lasts around 20 minutes and there is no physical downtime; so it’s a perfect ‘lunchtime’ therapy.
If you are someone who enjoys the results from injectable treatments such as dermal fillers and Botox®, you will be pleased to know that EMface can be used in conjunction with such treatments. However, you will need to wait 6 weeks before and after your dermal fillers, to undergo your EMface treatment. EMface will not delay or disturb Botox® injections.
EMface is a highly effective face tightening and skin rejuvenation treatment but you will most likely require a course of several sessions to achieve the very best results.
The estimated number of sessions required will be discussed with you in a pre-treatment consultation with your Ihya practitioner. Some of our patients do notice some significant changes after the first or second session. In 9 clinical studies with patients who successfully completed a recommended course of EMface treatments experienced on average a 37% reduction of facial wrinkles, a 30% increase in facial muscle tone and a 23% improvement in facial skin lift.
If you are over the age of 30 and are experiencing some more significant effects of facial ageing, EMface could be a suitable option for you.
However, before we agree to undergo any treatment here at Ihya, we will ask that you attend a pre-treatment consultation as part of our duty of care, so that we can check your medical history and ensure that there are no medical reasons which may prevent or restrict your EMface treatment from going ahead.
It is at this initial meeting that we will discuss the expected results that you will most likely achieve, and the bespoke treatment plan we recommend for you.
EMface offers long lasting results (around 12 months in many cases before a maintenance session is required). It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a good skincare regime to maximise your skin quality and extend the life of your results. Your Ihya practitioner can recommend one of our skin care product ranges for you to use at home, to compliment your EMface treatments and prolong the results from your EMface treatment.
