How does Emface differ from Botox?

While Emface and Botox can deliver similar results, the two treatments differ in many ways. Emface is an aesthetic procedure involving the use of pads we apply to your face. These pads send two types of energies into the skin’s tissue, thermal energy from radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES). Thermal energy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the face, improving structure. HIFES triggers contractions which rebuild muscles and increase facial volume. Since the pads sit on top of the face this is a noninvasive treatment. Botox is a brand of wrinkle relaxer. Providers inject Botox into the desired areas of the face. The solution relaxes the muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. We administer Botox treatments with an anesthetic or numbing cream to minimize pain. Whether one or the other is right for you depends on your aesthetic goals. We discuss the outcomes of Emface in Vienna during your consultation. We’re happy to provide a realistic scope of results.

What can I expect from Emface?

During your appointment, you can expect a relaxing experience. We have our patients lie back on the treatment table in a comfortable position. Your provider will carefully place the Emface pads on your face and begin treatment. Because the pads give off thermal energy, you may experience a warm and tingling feeling. The treatment is only 20 minutes, which allows you to relax and enjoy some time with yourself. You may feel sore after experiencing Emface in Vienna. This goes away over the next 24 to 48 hours.

Can I pair Emface with other treatments?

Emface is a great treatment to pair with our other services. Emsculpt NEO for body contouring uses the same technology, is a noninvasive treatment, and has no downtime. You can schedule your Emface in Vienna at the same time as Emsculpt NEO. Another service you can pair with Emface is Exion Skin Rejuvenation. The treatments compliment each other well. Where Emface builds muscle and improves facial structure, Exion restores your glow and enhances skin hydration. Speak with Dr. Jaligam about scheduling services in addition to Emface.

How do I maintain results?

To maintain your results of Emface in Vienna, we recommend maintenance appointments. Since your results can last up to 1 year, coming in once a year is the ideal option. For this reason, Emface is a great treatment for patients who prefer less frequent visits.

About Emface Facial Contouring

As we age, we begin to lose volume in our facial structure. Thanks to the patented technology behind Emface, there is a solution. Thermal energy from radiofrequency (RF) stimulates collagen and elastin within the face to improve facial structure. Simultaneously, high intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) causes contractions which builds muscle and restores lost volume.
