Blog:EMFACE for Facial Rejuvenation: How It Targets Skin and Muscle at the Same Time

Facial aging does not happen at the skin's surface alone. Changes in collagen, skin firmness, facial volume, and the muscles that support facial contours can all influence how the face looks over time. At Viorre Advanced Aesthetics in San Diego, EMFACE offers a noninvasive approach designed to address both the skin and underlying facial muscles during the same treatment.
EMFACE combines synchronized radiofrequency energy with high-intensity facial electrical stimulation, commonly called HIFES. These two technologies are delivered simultaneously through applicators placed on targeted areas of the face.
The radiofrequency component delivers controlled heat to facial tissues, supporting collagen remodeling and improvements in skin firmness and texture. At the same time, HIFES stimulates targeted facial muscles through repeated contractions. Research has found improvements in facial appearance, muscle function, skin positioning, and wrinkles following a series of treatments.
Many facial rejuvenation treatments focus primarily on the skin. EMFACE takes a different approach by also addressing muscles that help support facial contours.
This combined treatment may be appropriate for patients looking to improve concerns such as:
• Mild facial laxity and loss of firmness
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Less defined facial contours
• Changes in facial tone associated with aging
• A tired or less lifted appearance
Because every face ages differently, we evaluate each patient's anatomy, concerns, and goals before recommending EMFACE or another aesthetic treatment.
At Viorre Advanced Aesthetics, we perform EMFACE without needles or surgical incisions. We place the applicators on targeted areas of the face, where they deliver radiofrequency energy and facial muscle stimulation at the same time. A typical treatment plan may include a series of four sessions lasting about 20 minutes each, although we customize recommendations based on each patient’s needs and goals.
During your EMFACE treatment, you may feel warmth along with strong, controlled muscle contractions as the technology works. Because EMFACE is noninvasive, it can be a convenient option for San Diego patients looking to refresh and rejuvenate their appearance without surgery.
