EMFACE works on facial muscle and skin in the same session, combining synchronized radiofrequency with muscle stimulation. Most people notice smoother fine lines and a firmer look across a course of treatments.
What is EMFACE and how does it work?
EMFACE, developed by BTL, combines synchronized radiofrequency with HIFES facial muscle stimulation in one session. HIFES works the supporting facial muscles, which is where the lifting effect comes from. At the same time, the radiofrequency warms the dermis to encourage new collagen and elastin, so the skin firms as well.
What are the benefits of EMFACE?
HIFES targets and stimulates three muscles, namely zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, and Risorius. The contraction of these muscles helps create desired lift around your cheek whereas the frontalis contracted by electromagnetic energy elevate and lift a forehead tissue that is in the deeper level of SMAS. Meanwhile, radiofrequency (RF) promotes the production of collagen and elastin, thereby reducing the visible appearance of fine lines and achieving a more youthful look.

How long does it take to see the final result of the EMFACE procedure? How many sessions does it require?
After the first session, you will begin to feel and notice the lift right away. To achieve the best possible results, clinical studies suggest a series of 4 treatments – once a week. It usually takes one month for a patient to enjoy the full results. For EMFACE, to maintain the results, one treatment every 6 months to one year is required.
How does it feel during the treatment?
Most people find EMFACE comfortable. You will feel warmth and muscle contractions, much like a mild facial massage, and many people describe the session as relaxing.
Does EMFACE need to be performed by medical practitioners?
Since the treatment applicators need to be placed in the right position, corresponding to the actions of muscles, zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, and Risorius, that are associated with the facelift and expression of smiling, to achieve the best results, it is important to have EMFACE performed by medical professionals who comprehend anatomy thoroughly
Is EMFACE safe? What are the side effects?
EMFACE is non-invasive and most people tolerate it well. There are no needles and no anesthetic, so it suits you if injections put you off. You may feel warmth during the session, and some people notice mild redness or tired-feeling muscles in the treated area afterward. These effects are temporary. If you have a muscle disorder, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), if you are pregnant, or if you have active inflammation on your facial skin, talk to your doctor first.
How does EMFACE compare with other lifting treatments?
We offer several ways to firm and lift, and they suit different faces. EMFACE is the needle-free one that works on facial muscle as well as skin; none of the three below do that. Where they differ:
Ultherapy: Focused ultrasound rather than radiofrequency, and it reaches the SMAS, the deep support layer a surgeon tightens in a facelift. Your doctor watches that layer on live ultrasound imaging while treating it. It suits you better than EMFACE if the concern is sagging rather than muscle tone. One session, with results building over several months as collagen forms. Ultherapy is priced per line and starts from ฿10,000.
Thread lift: Dissolvable threads placed under the skin that reposition tissue mechanically, so the change is visible straight away rather than building across a course of sessions. It suits you better than EMFACE if you want a lift you can see immediately and you are comfortable with needles, which EMFACE does not involve. A thread lift starts from ฿10,000.
Thermage FLX: Radiofrequency like EMFACE, but without the muscle stimulation. It heats the dermis broadly, so think firming and skin texture more than lift. It is the closest cousin to EMFACE on mechanism and suits you better if skin quality is the concern and muscle tone is not. Thermage FLX starts from ฿35,000.
If you are not sure which of these fits, book a free consultation and your doctor will assess your face and recommend one.
Why EMFACE at KKC Clinic?
Before any treatment, you see one of our doctors for a free consultation. Your doctor will look at your face, ask what bothers you, and tell you honestly whether EMFACE fits or whether another treatment would serve you better. EMFACE is our needle-free option for firming muscle and skin together, with minimal downtime, but it is not the right answer for every face, and we would rather say so. We have six branches across Bangkok, so you can be seen wherever is convenient.
