Unlike lasers, PDO threads, or micro-needling -- procedures that require numbing and recovery time -- Emface works non-invasively and painlessly. Radiofrequency stimulates collagen and elastin production and improves skin quality. Electric stimulation, delivered by three strategically placed electrodes, targets muscles that lift the brows and cheeks. For best results, Dr. Barad recommends having the 20- to 30- minute treatment sessions every week for a month.

Key Points: 
  • It combines radio frequency waves that heat the dermal skin layer with muscle stimulation to rejuvenate and lift the face.
  • Unlike lasers, PDO threads, or micro-needling -- procedures that require numbing and recovery time -- Emface works non-invasively and painlessly.
  • For best results, Dr. Barad recommends having the 20- to 30- minute treatment sessions every week for a month.
  • Those who can't attend, are still eligible for a free consultation and discounted Emface/Emsculpt treatments through Jan. 31.
