How Emface works, in plain language
- 1
Muscle layer contracts
HIFES (high-intensity focused electrical stimulation) triggers contractions in the facial muscle layer under the skin.
- 2
Skin layer is stimulated
RF energy delivered at the same time stimulates collagen production in the skin above the muscle.
- 3
Both layers tone over a course
Over a course of sessions, the muscle and skin layers tone together, supporting firmer contours and facial balance.
How your skin responds
Muscle contraction
HIFES energy triggers contractions in the facial muscle layer beneath the skin, similar to how targeted exercise engages that muscle group.
Collagen stimulation
Radiofrequency energy delivered at the same time stimulates collagen production in the skin layer above the muscle.
Combined toning
Over a course of sessions, the muscle and skin layers tone together, supporting firmer contours and facial balance.
