What is EMFACE?
EMFACE is a needle-free, non-surgical face lifting and facial-balancing treatment developed to work on skin and facial elevator muscles at the same time.
Unlike surgery, fillers, thread lifts, or resurfacing lasers, EMFACE uses hands-free applicators placed on the skin. The treatment combines synchronized radiofrequency, which warms the skin to support collagen and elastin, with HIFES stimulation, which contracts facial elevator muscles in a controlled pattern.
EMFACE applicators can be planned for the forehead, eye area, cheeks, and under-chin area, depending on patient suitability and treatment goals.
How does EMFACE work?
EMFACE delivers two energy systems through external applicators so the treatment can support skin firmness and facial muscle tone in the same session.
- HIFES stimulates facial elevator muscles to support lifting and contour definition.
- Synchronized radiofrequency warms the skin to support collagen, elastin, smoothness, and firmness.
When both systems work together, the treatment can support a firmer, more lifted appearance and more balanced facial contours in appropriate candidates.
Which facial areas can EMFACE treat?
| Area | Treatment goals | Result details |
|---|---|---|
| Forehead | Wrinkle reduction and eyebrow lift | Average reported improvement: -37% forehead wrinkles and +3.3 mm eyebrow lift. |
| Eye area | Supports under-eye bags, dark circles, and crow's feet by working with lower-eye skin and muscles. | Average reported under-eye bag volume reduction: -1.4 ml. |
| Cheeks | Cheek volume repositioning | Average reported cheek volume repositioning: +3.3 ml. |
| Submentum | Supports double-chin and under-chin laxity by targeting layers from muscle to skin. | Average reported submental improvement: -36%. |

What are the benefits of EMFACE?
-
-
2-in-1 skin and muscle support
HIFES stimulates facial elevator muscles to support lifting and facial volume positioning, while SyncRF supports collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer-looking skin.
-
Dedicated applicators for 4 key facial areas
Forehead, eye area, cheeks, and under-chin applicators are designed for the structure of each treatment area.
-
About 20 minutes with no required downtime
A standard session takes about 20 minutes, and most patients can return to daily activities after treatment.
-
Natural facial balance focus
EMFACE is designed to lift and reposition facial volume for balanced, natural-looking facial contours.
What results can you expect after EMFACE?
-
A more lifted-looking face
Brows, cheeks, and the jawline may look more lifted and defined, helping facial dimensions look more balanced without surgery.
-
Firmer, smoother-feeling skin
SyncRF may help skin feel firmer and smoother, with changes that develop gradually according to tissue response.
-
More balanced facial dimensions
HIFES stimulates facial elevator muscles, which may help cheeks and the jawline look more defined and balanced overall.
-
A smoother under-chin appearance
The under-chin area may look firmer and less heavy in suitable mild to moderate laxity cases. This is not weight loss.
-
A fresher overall facial look
Many patients report a fresher, more rested look. BTL notes suitable results often become clearer around 3 months after completing the course.
When do EMFACE results appear?
-
Immediately after treatment
Some patients may feel tightness, warmth, or a sensation similar to facial muscle exercise, but this is not the final result. -
During the course
A standard course is 4 sessions, about 20 minutes each, spaced roughly one week apart. Some patients may notice mild tightening during the course. -
1 to 3 months after completing the course
Overall results often become clearer in this period, including brow position, upper-face lines, skin firmness, cheek dimension, and the under-chin appearance. -
Up to 6 months
Some studies found measurable brow, upper-face wrinkle, skin firmness, forehead lift, and cheek lift effects up to 24 weeks or 6 months in some groups. Duration varies by age, skin condition, and aftercare.

How to prepare before and after EMFACE
Before treatment
Prepare for your EMFACE appointment
- Tell the doctor about medical conditions, current medicines, blood thinners, supplements that affect bleeding, drug allergies, or active rashes during consultation.
- Tell the clinic about pregnancy, breastfeeding, implanted electrical devices, metal near the treatment area, and recent procedures such as facial surgery, resurfacing, or isotretinoin use.
- If you have wounds, rashes, infected acne, or significant skin irritation, inform the clinic first because treatment may need to be postponed.
- Arrive with clean skin and no makeup, lotion, or jewelry around the treatment area so applicators can attach properly.
After treatment
Aftercare and downtime
- Most patients can return to work or daily activities after treatment. EMFACE is usually communicated as having no required downtime for most patients.
- Temporary warmth, redness, tightness, or mild swelling may occur and usually improves gradually.
- Use gentle skincare, follow the clinic-specific instructions, and do not stop regular medicines without advice from your treating doctor.
- Contact the clinic promptly if you have significant pain, unusual burning, blistering, or skin reactions beyond what was expected.
What happens during an EMFACE appointment?
- Consult with the doctor to assess skin condition, facial structure, and concerns before planning treatment for the individual case.
- The team cleanses the face to prepare the skin before treatment.
- Applicators or pads are placed on the selected treatment areas where energy will be delivered.
- The treatment session begins. RF supports collagen while HIFES stimulates facial muscles. During treatment, you may feel warmth and mild muscle contractions, but it should not be painful.
- Each session takes about 20 minutes.
- After treatment, the team cleanses the skin again, and most patients can return to daily activities without recovery time.
- Aftercare includes regular moisturizer and sunscreen use.
- Follow up around 1 to 3 months after treatment so the doctor can assess lifting response. Contact the clinic any time if you have questions or unusual symptoms.
How EMFACE compares with other lifting options
| Comparison topic | EMFACE Needle-Free Face Lifting at Privato Clinic Bangkok | What it means when choosing a treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Layer treated | Uses synchronized RF to support the skin together with HIFES to stimulate facial elevator muscles. | Suitable for people who want to address skin firmness, some wrinkles, and facial dimensions in one plan. |
| Method | Hands-free applicators are placed on the skin. No surgery and no needles. | Different from injectable or surgical treatments, but it does not replace fillers, botulinum toxin, or surgery in every case. |
| Applicator areas | Forehead, cheeks, under-chin area, and eye area. | Published evidence is stronger for some areas such as forehead, cheeks, and under-chin. Eye-area claims should be made carefully. |
| Sessions and downtime | Usually planned as 4 sessions, about 20 minutes each, with low downtime for most patients. | Patients may return to daily activities quickly, but temporary warmth, redness, tightness, or mild swelling can still occur. |
| Result expectations | Best suited for mild to moderate laxity or wrinkle concerns, with results that usually become clearer gradually after completing the course. | Do not expect a surgical facelift result, permanent results, or guaranteed correction of every under-eye or under-chin case. |
How much does EMFACE cost?
EMFACE pricing depends on the treatment area, number of sessions, applicator plan, complexity of the case, and current clinic promotions.
Factors that affect EMFACE pricing
- Treatment area, such as forehead, eye area, cheeks, or under-chin area
- Recommended number of sessions, such as 4 to 6 sessions or an individualized plan
- Number of applicators and whether multiple areas are combined in one plan
- Single-area versus multi-area treatment planning
- Doctor consultation and follow-up policy
- Current promotions or package structure
Because each treatment plan is different, Privato Clinic confirms the EMFACE price after clinical assessment so the quote matches your face, treatment area, and planned number of sessions.

Frequently asked questions about EMFACE
What technologies does EMFACE use?
EMFACE uses two technologies at the same time: SyncRF for warming the skin and HIFES for stimulating facial elevator muscles.
- SyncRF / Synchronized RF is radiofrequency warmth that supports collagen, elastin, smoothness, and firmness.
- HIFES is energy that stimulates facial elevator muscles to support lifting and volume positioning.
What facial concerns can EMFACE help improve?
EMFACE is commonly used for suitable patients with wrinkles, laxity, and facial dimension concerns, planned according to applicator position and concern severity.
- Forehead lines, mild brow droop, and early upper-face laxity
- Tired-looking eye area, under-eye bags, and crow's feet in some cases
- Cheeks that look less firm or facial dimensions that need better balance
- Under-chin heaviness, double chin, or mild to moderate submental laxity in suitable patients
Can EMFACE treat under-eye concerns?
Yes. EMFACE has an eye-area applicator designed to help the appearance of tired under-eye skin and under-eye bags in some cases. It is not surgery or permanent under-eye fat removal, so the doctor must assess the cause first.
Can EMFACE reduce under-eye bags?
EMFACE may improve the appearance of under-eye bags in suitable patients, especially when the concern relates to tissue laxity and tired-looking skin. Evidence for the eye area is more limited than for the forehead, cheeks, and under-chin area, so it should not be expected to permanently remove under-eye bags or replace surgery in every case.
Can EMFACE help dark circles and crow's feet?
EMFACE may help crow's feet more than some types of dark circles because dark circles have many causes and some are not directly treated by EMFACE.
- Crow's feet: may look softer as the eye-area skin becomes firmer and smoother.
- Dark circles: should not be presented as a direct treatment, especially for pigment, vascular, or hollowing-related dark circles.
Can EMFACE reduce a double chin?
It may help suitable patients with mild to moderate under-chin or double-chin appearance, but it is not weight loss, not a guarantee that all under-chin fat will be removed, and should not be compared directly with surgery or fat-reduction procedures.
Is EMFACE non-surgical?
Yes. EMFACE is a non-surgical treatment using applicators placed externally on the skin, with no surgical wound and generally no long recovery period.
Does EMFACE use needles or injections?
No. EMFACE does not use needles or injections. Energy is delivered through applicators placed on the skin only, without puncturing the skin.
Is there downtime after EMFACE?
Most patients do not need downtime after EMFACE and can return to daily activities immediately. Temporary redness, mild swelling, warmth, tightness, irritation, or facial muscle soreness similar to after exercise can occur.
Is EMFACE safe?
EMFACE is generally well tolerated when patients are screened and treated appropriately, but that does not mean there is no risk. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a pacemaker, implanted electrical device, metal near the treatment area, infection, or certain medical conditions must tell the doctor before treatment. Safety details should be assessed individually.
