Have you ever had a cosmetic treatment and you saw some great improvement, but the results didn’t quite cover all of your concerns? Have you ever received a laser or injectable treatment for your face, and while some signs of aging were addressed, you were not totally satisfied? Especially with non-invasive skin treatments, it can be difficult to cover all the bases. But by combining two highly effective treatments into a dual procedure, both loose skin and lax muscles can be improved for a youthful, scalpel-free facelift. Welcome to the wonder of the perfect pairing for facial rejuvenation: Thermage and Emface.
*Individuals Results May Vary.
Thermage is an innovative skin tightening treatment that delivers radio frequency (RF) energy deep into the skin and deeper layers of tissue. This process tightens foundational collagen structures beneath the skin and produces new collagen for continued youthful improvement. Loose crepey skin around the cheek, neck, and jawline becomes tighter and lines become sharper. And because of advanced cooling technology that the equipment provides during treatment, Thermage can even be used near the eyes and on the eyelids for reduced wrinkles and less eyelid ptosis. With results that last up to a year, no downtime, and no incisions, Thermage is a prime choice for facial rejuvenation.
But can we go even deeper?
Yes, we can! And we can do it with Emface. While Thermage is great at tackling the upper layers in the face including skin and tissue, it doesn’t address sagging muscles which also contribute to facial aging and are tightened in surgical procedures like facelifts or neck lifts. With Emface, using both radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity facial muscle stimulation (HIFES), underlying muscles are stimulated and tightened without surgery. This technology causes muscle movement for a “facial workout” and enhances structures in the cheeks, brow, and jawline. This treatment also boosts collagen production for a double boost of restored facial contours.
By combining these two powerhouse treatments into one dual treatment plan, facial rejuvenation patients can see the truly comprehensive results they’ve been looking for and achieve their goals. Not only do these treatments improve laxity after an initial session, through the production of collagen, they keep on improving as the new collagen is produced. Looking younger without surgery is a sought after outcome and since the combination of Thermage and Emface means addressing both loose skin and loose muscle, patients often feel that they’ve found the RF Fountain of Youth.
While a single session using both of these methods can improve facial appearance, a few sessions over time can offer longer-lasting, more dramatic outcomes. In addition, maintaining great results comes from practicing other smart skin habits. Just about any dermatologist will tell you, possibly before they tell you anything else, to wear SPF sunscreen! Every. Single. Day. Sun exposure and sun damage are one of the biggest culprits of aging and can greatly lessen the timeframe of results from these types of treatments (not to mention lowering the risk of skin cancer). Good quality skincare products are also important, but it’s just as critical to find the right products for your specific skin needs. This is much easier to determine with the help of a licensed skin care professional. Health from the inside out is also important. Nutrition and especially good hydration can make all the difference when it comes to brighter, less aged looking skin. Get all you can out of a treatment with Thermage plus Emface and give your skin the attention it deserves.
For patients seeking an even more well-rounded outcome, additional treatments are sometimes used alongside the combination of Thermage and Emface, although they might be spread out to different sessions. Laser resurfacing or chemical peels can work on fine-tuning the quality of the skin’s surface and targeting issues like hyperpigmentation or scarring if those are concerns. Even injectables could be used for volume restoration to truly achieve results that are as close as you can get to a facelift, without the facelift.
With this multitude of options for facial rejuvenation, it’s crucial to seek professional and experienced guidance. Qualified cosmetic medical advice and care can be the difference between less than exciting, or even damaging, results and stunningly restored skin.
