Youthful facial contours rely primarily on two factors: firm skin and well-defined muscles. While time can rob the face of these elements, EMFACE at Palm Beach’s Carroll Dermatology can restore them. This is the first and only technology that simultaneously uses synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES energies to treat skin, connective tissue, and muscle. EMFACE is an ideal option for anyone who wants to reverse the signs of facial aging.
Emface is a skin rejuvenation revolution for the face, a breakthrough procedure for fewer wrinkles and more lift. It takes 20 minutes once a week for four weeks, and is a needle-free and two-in-one procedure for the skin and muscle.
Plentiful collagen and elastin are necessary for firm and youthful-looking skin and contours. Unfortunately, both of these important proteins break down over time—and so do the natural processes that work to replace them. The result is skin that grows lax. Age can also cause muscles to atrophy, further contributing to the look of loose skin and poorly defined contours.
EMFACE is a nonsurgical treatment device that enhances facial contours for a more sculpted look by delivering two types of energy into the tissue.
Synchronized radiofrequency energy targets fibroblasts, which are the cells responsible for kickstarting new collagen and elastin production. A rise in collagen levels gives the skin enhanced volume and structure, while increase elastin improves its flexibility and resilience.
High-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation triggers rapid muscle contractions to build up muscle tissue in the targeted tissue. By strengthening key muscles, EMFACE sculpts and better defines the facial contours.
A typical EMFACE session lasts about 20 minutes, and ideal results are often seen after four sessions spaced about one week apart. Expect a warm feeling while the device is treating the area, as well as the sensation of gentle muscle contractions. No down time is required after a visit, so you can return right away to whatever activity you would like.
A gradual increase in collagen and elastin will improve skin quality over the following weeks and months as the tightening effect continues to improve.
A newer EMFACE application allows the Carroll Dermatology team to specifically target the submental area, which is the technical name for the region beneath the chin. Energy from the device can reduce the look of a double chin and give the lower face a more chiseled jawline. When combined with localized liposuction or Kybella®, this treatment can help patients achieve a contoured lower face with a chiseled jawline more quickly.
Since skin and muscle will continue to age over time, patients can discuss their long-term and maintenance options with the Carroll Dermatology team in order to enjoy their beautifully defined contours for as long as possible. Emface provides 37 percent wrinkle reduction, 30 percent more muscle tone, and 23 percent more lift.
Contouring is not limited to the face at Carroll Dermatology! EMSCULPT uses the same technology as EMFACE, but is applied to the body to give the abdominal area, buttocks, arms, legs, and more areas improved definition and shape.
Another skin-tightening option is Ultherapy, which triggers collagen production in specific areas of the face, neck, and décolletage with ultrasound energy. Patients who want to address a range of issues in addition to mild laxity can choose Exion RF microneedling for skin toning and tightening. Exion RF microneedling is painless and can be used anywhere on the body, including delicate areascosmet, the abdomen, the thighs, and the eyelids, to name a few.
As you can see, there are many options available—each with unique benefits. Set up a visit with our experienced team to learn which strategy may be best for you!
