Completely Non-Invasive Solution

EMFACE lifts and tightens the face without needles or surgery, making it a safe and comfortable alternative to traditional treatments.

Quick Procedure with No Downtime

Each session takes just 20 minutes, and you can resume your daily activities immediately - no recovery time is needed.

Supports Skin Quality

Stimulation of collagen and elastin may improve firmness and texture, improving skin tone and texture.

Treatment Summary

What is EMFACE?

EMFACE is a medical-grade, non-invasive treatment combining synchronised radiofrequency (RF) heating with HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation).

RF gently heats dermal collagen and elastin fibres, while HIFES™ stimulates controlled muscle contractions in the forehead, periorbital, cheek, and submental areas. This combination may lead to gradual improvements in skin firmness and facial muscle tone. Results vary between patients and cannot be guaranteed.

How Does EMFACE Procedure Work?

Instant result: improvement can be seen immediately and final results take 3 months. No downtime: patients can return to work right away. Unrivalled expertise: performed under the care of a leading oculoplastic surgeon and her trained team.

EMFACE applicators in use during treatment

An EMFACE procedure works by combining two advanced technologies:

  • HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation): Tones and lifts the facial muscles, similar to how body sculpting treatments strengthen abs or glutes.
  • Radiofrequency (RF) Energy: Heats the skin's deeper layers, triggering collagen and elastin production to smooth wrinkles and firm sagging skin.

During treatment, small applicators are placed either on the forehead and around the eyes, or eyes and double chin area, or midface and double chin, we can combine two areas at a time simultaneously (except eyes and midface which we can do sequentially). You'll feel a mild warmth and gentle muscle contractions, similar to a facial massage. The procedure takes just 20 minutes, and there's zero downtime - you can return to work or social activities right away.

Patient Questions About EMFACE

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions patients ask most often, answered by the clinic. If yours isn’t here, ask us directly - we would be delighted to help.

  • Yes, scientific studies have backed the effectiveness of EMFACE treatment. It can help increase the production of elastin and collagen, lift the skin, & improve muscle tone in the cheeks and forehead. A study has also demonstrated a 1.5 ml increase in mid face volume and a 0.5 ml reduction in the jowls after a lower face course.

  • Typically, the results of EMFACE can last up to a year. While you don't need to have the treatment more often than every 6 months- 12 months, some people choose to do it more frequently to enhance their results.

  • Most adults looking for a non-surgical way to rejuvenate and lift their eyes and forehead can be good candidates for EMFACE. This is not for people with pacemakers or metal plates in their face, or pregnant women.

  • EMFACE is a non-invasive procedure, so it usually has very few side effects. If there are any, they are generally mild. Possible side effects include: slight redness or warmth; temporary muscle tiredness or tingling; mild swelling; rare skin sensitivity; not suitable for people with metal implants, pacemakers, or certain neurological issues; not suitable for pregnant women; dry skin; headaches; minor skin irritation or, rarely, a small skin blister.

  • The results from EMFACE are not permanent, but it is a good non-surgical option compared to more invasive treatments like injectables or surgery. It offers a safe and effective way to achieve a younger look without the risks or downtime that come with other procedures.

“I had been recommended Dr Sabrina by a medical colleague & am extremely glad I made the journey from Southampton to the Perfect Eye Clinic in London to discuss blepharoplasty. The team were all so friendly & very professional and most importantly, Dr Sabrina informed me that I had a bilateral eye ptosis. This explained a number of issues I was experiencing. I will definitely be booking to have a correction of bilateral eye ptosis and upper blepharoplasty. Can't recommend enough.”
