EMface, the state-of-the-art medical technology, is disrupting the aesthetic industry and it is now available right here in Roslyn Heights. We had a chance to speak with Dr. Wayne Wertheim, medical director of Island Medical Laser, about this groundbreaking skin rejuvenation procedure.
“EMface is a revolution in facial treatments,” Wertheim said.
By emitting both synchronized radio frequencies (RF) and high intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) energies, it simultaneously affects the skin and muscles.
“EMface is non-surgical, has no downtime, no needles, no suturing,” Wertheim said. “It is a relaxing procedure and you need about four 20-minute treatments initially once a week for four weeks.”
Maintenance for this procedure is approximately once or twice a year after the initial treatment.
“It is for anyone who wants to have some facial rejuvenation,” Wertheim said. “It is primarily geared toward somebody who is 40 to 60 years old who believes they need a facelift, although we are doing treatments on much younger people too.”
Wertheim said more younger clients are familiar with the machine and its success. “This might be because of social media,” he guessed.
EMface candidates are men or women who want to firm their skin and define their features to look fresher and more youthful but don’t want surgery or invasive treatment. Epileptics, pregnant women and anyone who has an implant from the neck up (pacemaker, metal plate, etc.) are not candidates for the treatment.
EMface is the first device on the market utilizing the simultaneous application of both Synchronized RF and HIFES. Synchronized RF remodels and smooths the skin by heating the dermis and increasing the levels of collagen and elastin fibers. The HIFES technology restores and elevates the support of facial tissues by selectively contracting muscles and increasing density and quality of muscle structure.
“It is not as dramatic as a facelift; it does not replace a surgical facelift, but it does limit the need for Botox or any neuromodulator; people need less of that, less injected filler after using the EMface machine,” Wertheim said. “The treatment gives the face a nice glow, a nice lift, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.”
The treatment series is evaluated at six weeks and then again at 12 weeks.
“The results take time because it takes your body that long to manufacture your own collagen,” Wertheim said. “People come in and say, ‘I have a wedding or a bar mitzvah coming up,’ and in that case, some do choose to supplement with filler or a neurotoxin like Botox.”
This could be the magic wand we have been waiting for.
