Disclaimer

All treatments require a formal consultation with Dr Omarjee prior to any treatment. During this consultation, patients' concerns are carefully assessed, and a personalised treatment plan is developed. This includes discussing the nature of the proposed treatment(s), alternative treatments, potential risks and relevant complications, aftercare instructions, and the costs involved. It also allows time for patients to ask questions.

Emface is a non-invasive, advanced treatment for facial anti-ageing and skin tightening. It works on specific facial muscles through HIFES technology and also at the dermal level using radiofrequency. The technology uses these two modalities to stimulate skin firmness, tighten facial muscles, and treat the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

In addition to Emface, The DOC Clinic also offers Laser Genesis treatments (Cutera Excel V+ and Cutera XEO platforms, including 532 nm “Green Genesis” and 1064 nm “Laser Genesis”). Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser-based procedure used to gently heat the upper dermis to support collagen stimulation, improve general skin tone, and reduce the appearance of redness, mild textural changes, and fine lines. Suitability for Laser Genesis will depend on individual assessment.

How Emface works

Emface uses synchronised Radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation (HIFES™) to stimulate facial structure and tone in a non-invasive way. Unlike other treatments, the Emface device is designed to treat not only the superficial layers of skin but also the underlying layers to produce deep stimulation.

RF: Gently heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin
HIFES: Activates key facial muscles to promote tone, support, and lift

With the synchronised RF and HIFES energies, the technology reaches both the facial muscles and skin at the same time. These processes address issues such as volume loss, laxity, facial wrinkles, and fine lines. If you experience any of these issues, Dr Omarjee can recommend a treatment plan that targets your particular cosmetic desires and areas of concern.

Combination treatments with Emface

At The DOC Clinic, we customise each procedure plan to the goals and needs of the patient. Adding an additional treatment method can help encourage the patient’s desired result, whether it be facial tightening, recontouring, or wrinkle reduction.

Each procedure type comes with its own benefits and risks, which should all be considered before deciding on the right combination of treatments for you. For example, Emface may pair well with:

Wrinkle treatment
Volume treatment
Exion (RF-Ai assisted)
Fotona T runner tightening (Non ablative Erbium Laser)
Ultraformer 3 (HIFU)
Fotona Smootheye (Non ablative Erbium Laser)
Laser Genesis (Cutera Excel V+ or Cutera XEO at 532 nm or 1064 nm), depending on skin tone, redness, and textural concerns

The particular procedure you undergo will depend on your expectations, treatment areas, and the specialised guidance of Dr Omarjee.

Your consultation

At your first appointment with Dr Omarjee, you will discuss a treatment plan that fits your unique characteristics and goals. In order to ensure you are a candidate for the procedure, you will need to raise any health concerns, past treatments, or medications you are taking. You will also be encouraged to outline your cosmetic concerns and which areas you would like to target.

These details will help us guide you in the right direction and recommend a suitable treatment plan. We will also discuss any aftercare, side effects, and risks, ensuring you are prepared and well informed.

What happens during treatment

During your appointment, your practitioner will ensure your skin is clean before carefully placing the applicators onto the face. Depending on the patient’s treatment plan and concerns, one or two areas will be fitted with appropriate Emface facial-specific applicators – for example, the forehead and cheeks.

RF may produce a warm sensation beneath the applicators as the energy from the device penetrates the skin, often described as similar to a warm stone massage. In addition, the HIFES energy produces a contraction sensation, which is felt on and off as it stimulates the facial muscles. These technologies work synchronously to treat both the skin and the underlying facial tissue and should not be painful at all; we can adjust the intensity to suit the patient’s comfort.

The procedure typically takes around 20 minutes to complete. If your procedure plan includes any combined treatments, Dr Omarjee will inform you of what to expect.

Aftercare

There is no downtime associated with Emface recovery. However, it’s important to care for your skin, as it will be more sensitive than normal. You can expect some redness, which should fade soon after the procedure, and we may advise that you avoid certain treatments and products for a time. These instructions will be given according to your personalised treatment plan. Ensure that you follow all instructions given by your practitioner at The DOC Clinic and contact us if you have any post-treatment concerns.

Aftercare advice includes:

Avoid alcohol and active skincare for a minimum of 24 hours
Stay well-hydrated
Protect your skin from the sun
Maintain a healthy and active lifestyle
Avoid exercise for 24 hours
Gently cleanse your face, and avoid makeup for 24 hours

The results will appear gradually, and we typically recommend waiting three months after the fourth treatment session to see the full effect. The sessions are usually spaced one to two weeks apart. This means patients will need to practise the appropriate aftercare following each session as the treatments take effect.

Frequently Asked Questions – Emface

What is Emface?

Emface is a non-invasive facial treatment that aims to lift and tone the face without needles, toxins, or downtime. It is the first and only treatment that simultaneously targets the skin and facial muscles using a combination of HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) and Synchronised Radiofrequency (RF).

How many treatments will I need?

Achieving the desired outcomes might require several treatment sessions. The standard protocol is four sessions, spaced seven to 10 days apart. Each session lasts about 20 minutes. Maintenance every 6 months is often recommended to support muscle tone.

What are the expected results?

Emface is designed to combat signs of ageing, including skin laxity and facial definition in the cheeks, brows, and jawline. Patients may notice changes after two to three sessions and peak eight to 12 weeks after the final session.

Keep in mind, however, that each patient may require a different treatment plan and may experience different results.

Is there any pain associated with Emface?

Patients experience little to no pain during Emface treatment. There may be a warm or tingling sensation, but this is typically well tolerated. Patients may also have slight redness immediately after treatment, and in rare cases, a light muscle ache (similar to post-gym soreness). However, since the procedure is non-invasive, the side effects are generally minimal and temporary.

How should I prepare for treatment?

Arrive with clean skin, without makeup or skincare products. Also, avoid heavy sun exposure or facial treatments for 24 hours prior to treatment.

Is Emface suitable for all skin types?

Yes, this treatment is suitable for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–VI).

What are the treatment areas?

Common treatment areas include the forehead and brows, cheeks and midface, jawline and lower face, and the periorbital (eye) region using specific protocols.

Is it compatible with other cosmetic treatments?

Yes. Emface can be performed in patients who have previously received other cosmetic treatments. During your consultation, Dr Omarjee will assess timing and suitability based on your treatment history.

How long does each session take?

Each treatment takes 20 minutes, with 10–15 minutes allocated for prep and post-care advice.

Who should not have emface?

Emface is not suitable for patients with pacemakers, defibrillators, cochlear implants, facial metalware, open wounds, active skin infections, or during pregnancy. Certain neurological or muscular disorders may also be contraindicated.

What is the aftercare?

There is no downtime. You may return to work, exercise, or social activities immediately. Hydrate well, apply SPF 30+ daily, and avoid strong heat for 24 hours.
