EmFace for Forehead Wrinkles
What Causes Forehead Wrinkles?
Forehead wrinkles result from repetitive facial expressions, aging, sun damage, and the natural loss of skin elasticity. As we age, collagen and elastin levels decrease, leading to the formation of horizontal
lines and deeper creases.
How Can EmFace Help?
EmFace uses a combination of High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) and simultaneous Radiofrequency (RF) to target both muscle tone and skin quality in the forehead area:
- HIFES: Stimulates the muscles beneath the forehead to increase muscle tone and reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (those formed by facial movement).
- RF Energy: Enhances collagen production in the skin, leading to improved skin texture and elasticity. This reduces static wrinkles (those visible even at rest) and smoothens the skin.
- Unlike some treatments that relax the forehead muscles, potentially causing a lowering of the eyebrows, HIFES increases the tone of the frontalis muscle. This stimulation promotes muscle strength and elevation, resulting in lifted eyebrows.
- Together, these technologies provide a dual benefit: lifting the brow area while enhancing overall skin texture.
Benefits of EmFace for Forehead Wrinkles
- Non-invasive: No needles, surgery, or downtime.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and deep creases.
- Improved Skin Firmness: RF technology boosts collagen, tightening the skin for a smoother look.
- Natural-Looking Results: Forehead wrinkles are softened, maintaining your natural facial expressions.
Treatment Protocol
- Number of Sessions: Typically, 4 sessions are recommended for optimal results.
- Frequency: Sessions are spaced 1 week apart.
- Maintenance: Follow-up sessions every 6-12 months can help maintain the results.
Is EmFace Right for You?
EmFace is ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate forehead wrinkles who want a noninvasive solution for wrinkle reduction. It is suitable for all skin types and tones.
Contraindications
EmFace is not recommended for patients with pacemakers, metal implants, or severe skin
conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult with their physician before undergoing
treatment.
Possible Side Effects
- Mild Redness or Warmth: Temporary and resolves within a few hours.
- Slight Muscle Soreness (rarely): Similar to post-exercise soreness, typically mild and short-lived.
Clinical Backing
Clinical studies support the effectiveness of EmFace in lifting and smoothing facial tissues. According to research by Brian M Kinney et al. published in the J Cosmet Dermatol (March 2024), the combination of High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) and synchronised Radiofrequency (RF) has been shown to remodel facial soft tissue, providing a nonsurgical lift and enhanced skin quality. This study highlights the safety and efficacy of EmFace for those seeking a non-invasive option for facial rejuvenation.
