EM Visage

The EM Visage is a non-invasive facial treatment that simultaneously delivers electro-magnetic energy and radiofrequency to tighten the facial muscles and skin respectively.

Synchronous radiofrequency heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin, while the high-intensity electromagnetic energy contracts selective facial muscles to lift, tone, and tighten.

  • Effectively lifts the face and sagging areas.

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Helps to improve jowling and sagging of the skin. 

  • Enhancing facial contours such as the cheeks and jawline.

  • Non-invasive and a very comfortable, painless treatment option, with no anaesthesia required.

  • During the treatment, the client will feel the warmth and contraction of facial muscles like a facial hot stone massage, without other side effects on the body.

  • Targets the facial skin AND muscles using high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation combined with synchronous radio frequency.

  • Takes only 20 minutes for a single treatment.

How does it work? 

The EM Visage uses Electro-magnetic (EM) and Radiofrequency (RF) as a non-invasive, anti-aging facial treatment that works by tightening the muscles as well the facial skin. 

As we age, muscles slacken and the muscle fibres lengthen, causing a loss of facial shape. The high-intensity electromagnetic energy of the EM Visage stimulates the facial muscles to contract and tighten continuously throughout the treatment, improving the strength and tension of the muscle fibres and enhancing the support of facial tissues and facial posture. The result is a more lifted, sculpted, and youthful appearance.

Simultaneously, radio frequency targets skin tissue to stimulate collagen and elastin production to combat thin and slack skin. 

Why is it so important to stimulate the muscles?

Facial muscles are important not only in an aesthetic sense, but also in a functional sense. These muscles allow us to express emotions, speak, smile, and look natural. As we age, these muscles weaken and become longer, leading to sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles. By targeting and strengthening facial muscles through treatments like EMRF, you can help prevent or reduce sagging and wrinkles. It can also help with asymmetries. 

Just like the muscles in the body, facial muscles benefit from exercise to maintain tone and definition. Targeting these muscles can help improve overall muscle tone, resulting in a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

Stimulating the facial muscles also improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in the face, which improves facial tone and appearance. Regular facial muscle training also helps reduce wrinkles and maintain the elasticity and tone of the facial skin, in other words, facial muscle stimulation = face lifting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the treatment feel like?

During treatment, high-intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) induces uncontrolled contraction of the facial muscles, which feels like a facial muscle massage, but without pain; radiofrequency (RF) heats the skin to produce a comfortable warm feeling, similar to a heating pad or hot stone massage.

How many treatments are required?

Initially, it is recommended to have a series of 4-6 treatments, 1 week apart. Each treatment should be 5-7 days apart, if the treatment is interrupted, the expected results may not be achieved. 

How to maintain the results?

As aging continues to occur, if you would like to maintain the results, it is recommended to repeat at least 1x treatment every 6 months. Some clients may wish to continue doing regular maintenance treatments.

The maintenance phase of EMRF treatment is determined by you and how much improvement you want to maintain or improve. Ongoing treatment will help to continuously lift facial muscles, increase collagen, tone the face while reducing wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin.

When will I see the result?

Most clients will feel their face is lifted after the first treatment, and the condition of the skin and facial muscles will gradually improve. The best effect is usually 4 to 12 weeks after the 4th-6th treatment (about 1-3 months). 

Can EMRF adjust the size of the face?

The size of the face is more due to the bone structure. EMRF is to increase muscle density for facial muscles, not to adjust the size of the face or bone structure. 

Are there any contraindications?

·       Pregnancy, breast feeding.

·       Facial piercings in the treatment area should be removed.

·       Anyone that has implants or metal plates in the cheeks or forehead.

·       Recently tanned or sunburned.

·       If there are open wounds or active skin infections in the treatment area, active severe acne outbreaks, cold sores, skin inflammation, etc.

·       Poor oral hygiene, oral diseases.

·       Pacemakers, defibrillators or electronic devices.

This treatment is available at the Riccarton and Merivale Transform Clinics in Christchurch.
