About EMFACE Treatment in Sydney

EMFACE is a non-surgical facial treatment available at Shape Clinic in Sydney that combines synchronised radio frequency (RF) with High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation (HIFES™). These two technologies are delivered simultaneously, targeting both the skin surface and underlying facial structures.

  • Radio Frequency (RF): delivers controlled energy to the skin surface, which may help improve the appearance of skin tone and texture.
  • HIFES™ stimulation: uses electromagnetic pulses to activate facial muscles, which may support improvements in facial contours and overall appearance.

By combining these technologies, EMFACE may help improve the visible appearance of skin quality and facial definition without the use of needles or surgery.

What to expect from EMFACE

EMFACE may be applied to several areas of the face to support cosmetic outcomes related to appearance. A series of sessions may be recommended depending on your individual assessment and desired outcomes. Common treatment areas include:

  • Forehead: may help improve the appearance of static forehead lines
  • Eyebrow region: may support a refreshed look in the upper face
  • Cheeks: may improve the appearance of mid-face volume and surface quality
  • Jawline: may help refine the appearance of jawline definition
  • Under-eye area: may help with the appearance of hollowness or fine lines

EMFACE Sydney (EMFACE Treatment) Frequently Asked Questions

EMFACE is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses a combination of synchronised radiofrequency and HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) energy to target both the skin and underlying facial muscles, helping to improve skin quality and facial muscle tone.

Many patients notice an improvement in facial muscle tone, skin firmness, and overall facial contour following a course of EMFACE treatments, though results vary depending on individual factors such as skin and muscle condition, and treatment adherence. Your practitioner can discuss realistic expected outcomes during your consultation.

The standard EMFACE protocol involves a course of 4 sessions, spaced approximately one week apart, though some patients may require 6 to 8 sessions to achieve their desired results, depending on individual goals and response to treatment.

EMFACE is an unusual sensation but generally well tolerated and does not require anaesthetic, with most patients describing the sensation as a warming feeling alongside muscle contractions, which some may find more intense than others. 

Results from EMFACE typically last several months, though they are not permanent, as the natural ageing process will continue over time. Periodic maintenance treatments are generally recommended to help sustain results.

EMFACE is designed to treat the face, including the forehead, cheeks, submentum (under the chin), lower eyelids and jawline, and may help improve overall facial muscle tone, skin quality, and contour.

Suitability for EMFACE varies depending on individual facial muscle tone, skin quality, concerns, and goals. A consultation with an appropriately qualified health practitioner will allow for a thorough assessment to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you. Contraindications include pregnancy, metal implants in the face or body, and implanted electronic devices like pacemakers. 

EMFACE is designed to target facial muscles and skin using radiofrequency and HIFES energy, helping to improve muscle tone, skin firmness, and overall facial contour, rather than reducing fat.
