What is EMFACE?
EMFACE is the first therapy designed to enhance the structure of your face from within. EMFACE is a non-invasive procedure that uses a unique blend of synchronised radiofrequency heating and HIFES™ stimulation for facial muscles.
The RF uniformly heats the collagen and elastin fibres in the dermal layers, while HIFES™ stimulation applies multiple gentle contractions to the muscles around the eyes, forehead, cheeks and submental area in each session, leading to a more lifted, toned, and maintained look.
By delivering both synchronised RF and HIFES™ energies, the EMFACE treatment can effectively address both the skin and muscles, resulting in reduced wrinkles and fine lines while also contouring, tightening the skin, & improving overall facial structure.

How Does EMFACE
Procedure Work?
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 Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
Does EMFACE really work?
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.
How long do the effects of EMFACE last?
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.
Who is a good candidate for EMFACE treatment?
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.
What side effects can I expect from EMFACE?
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
Is EMFACE permanent?
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.
Patient Reviews
“I had a very positive experience. She provided me with relevant pictures of what to expect post surgery which was very useful. Her post op information was clear and easy to follow. She came across as a very caring and confident practitioner. The outcome she described before surgery was realistic and she skilfully performed this.”
“I would like to express how happy I am with the results of my upper blepharoplasty. My eyes have healed really well and I am already getting compliments on how perfect they look! I would like to thank Mrs Sabrina Shah-Desai for her time, caring attitude and excellent results.”
“I've been wanting to have upper & lower lid surgery for some years. I have hereditary heavy eyelids, tea troughs & also bags under my eyes. I'm constantly told I'm looking tired! I researched a lot of surgeons & finally came across Sabrina Shah-Desai through a recommendation from an aesthetic nurse.”
“I feel that I've found my 'face doctor' and that is as valuable to me as the happiness I feel when I look in the mirror. Thanks too to Abi who was on hand during my recovery. She has a kind and caring nature and was on call the whole time during my recovery to give me the reassurance that I occasionally needed.”
“By far the best experience I have ever had with a doctor! Mrs Shah Desai is so professional, knowledgable and thorough with her approach and at the same time so kind, warm and friendly. I highly recommend her for any kind of surgery in the eye area.... I had a very fast and smooth recovery and I am so pleased with the results!”
“I've had very heavy set eyes for the last 10 years that's aged me and decided that I now wanted to have treatment to help this problem. At consultation with Sabrina I felt confedent about suggested treatment for me. I had Blepharoplasty which was almost pain free and am so happy with my results.”
