What is EMFace?

How EMFace Works

EMFace works by using radiofrequency (RF) energy with high-intensity facial muscle stimulation (HIFES™) to tighten the facial muscles. This revolutionary facial treatment enhances the tone of the muscle, whilst tightening the skin for a fresh by stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. EMFace is the only medical device stimulating facial muscles in the UK. 

Key Benefits of EMFace

Candidates who are good for EMFace are those experiencing mild to moderate sagging of the skin, want to reduce signs of aging or those seeking preventative treatments. 

EMFace is suitable for all skin types and tones. 

What is Sofwave™?

How Sofwave™ Works

Sofwave™ uses ultrasound technology to deliver energy to the mid-dermis layer of the skin, heating tissue to trigger the body’s collagen renewal process.

Using synchronous ultrasound parallel beam (SUPERB™) technology, this treatment stimulates production of collagen and elastin. Sofwave™ targets a precise depth in the skin to cause a natural healing and regenerating process of collagen and elastin without damaging the skin tissue. 

Key Benefits of Sofwave™

Sofwave’s™ key benefits include:

• Lifts and tightens key areas.
• Softens Fine Lines and Wrinkles.

Sofwave™ is best for candidates with mild to moderate skin laxity, particularly those who would like to see results with a brow lift, in the jaw area and overall facial skin tightening. For those with heavier or severe laxity a second treatment may be recommended

Sofwave™ is safe for all skin types and tones.
