    What Is EmFace?

    As we age, we lose collagen in our skin, and our facial muscles also undergo changes. EmFace addresses both using two technologies at the same time:

    • Radiofrequency (RF): Heats the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping improve firmness and the appearance of wrinkles.
    • HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation): Stimulates contractions in targeted facial muscles to improve muscle tone and support facial contours.

    A treatment session typically takes 20 minutes, using hands-free applicators placed over the selected areas.

    The 4 Target Areas of EmFace

    Because EmFace uses dedicated applicators, we can customize your treatment to focus on the areas you want to improve.

    Target Area What It’s For Intended Effect
    Forehead Forehead lines and brow position Helps soften horizontal lines and improve brow elevation
    Cheeks Midface sagging and reduced facial support Improves muscle tone to support cheek contours
    Undereye Under-eye bags, puffiness, and fine lines Helps improve the appearance of the under-eye area; suitability depends on the cause of your concern
    Under the chin (submentum) Double chin and reduced jawline definition Helps reduce submental fullness and improve the contour beneath the chin

    Your dermatologist will assess whether EmFace is suitable for your concern. Not all under-eye changes, facial volume loss, or double-chin fullness respond in the same way.

    Why Is EmFace Worth the Investment?

    Here is what makes the treatment worth considering:

    • Skin and muscle treatment together: EmFace combines radiofrequency heating with muscle stimulation to address different contributors to facial aging.
    • Authentic Technology, Trusted Care: Skinstitute is an EmFace Center of Excellence and an official clinic partner in the Philippines. Learn more about the technology on the official BTL Aesthetics Philippines EmFace page.
    • Doctor-led planning: At Skinstitute, your treatment is planned by a PDS board-certified dermatologist, with the target areas and applicator placement selected according to your facial anatomy and goals.

    Your Timeline for Results and Maintenance

    1. Consultation and treatment: Your PDS board-certified dermatologist assesses your skin and facial structure and helps you select your target areas. During the treatment, you will feel warmth and muscle contractions. It is generally well tolerated and does not usually require numbing cream.
    2. When you see results: Some patients notice early changes, but improvements develop gradually during the treatment course and in the weeks afterward. Results vary, and further improvement may continue beyond the first month after your final session.
    3. Long-term maintenance: Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6–12 months, depending on your response and treatment goals.
