I heard Emface doesn’t hurt..

If I get it, will it be worth the money?

To be honest, Emface is a treatment that is better suited to certain people.

But if it matches your facial characteristics well, it can also be a procedure with extremely high satisfaction compared to any other lifting treatment.

Under the topic of Must-Read Before Getting Emface in Hongdae: These Are the People Who See Real Results,

I’ll accurately tell you the 3 traits of people who see the most dramatic results.

Please check whether you fall into any of these categories.

  1. A 1-minute summary of how Emface in Hongdae works

If you want to know who it’s good for, you first need to know how it works, right?

If traditional lifting only pulled the skin, Emface pulls the muscles.

Under the skin of our face are muscles that support the skin.

They are like the springs inside a mattress.

As we age, these springs (muscles) lose strength and sag, and when that happens, the skin sags along with them.

Emface uses electromagnetic stimulation called HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation)

to tighten weakened muscles,

and uses radiofrequency to promote collagen and elastin production, making the skin texture firmer as well.

In other words, it works by filling in the inner muscles and lifting the outer contour.

Because the moving appearance makes it look like a massage device, you may think it is a relatively simple type of care.

But with Emface, the clinician’s expertise is key.

It is effective enough to be used for correcting facial asymmetry,

and as you know, asymmetry correction requires detailed analysis.

In addition, because the muscle positions differ from person to person,

the patch placement must be precisely designed to match each individual concern in order to achieve proper results.

  1. Emface: Who gets the best results

Thanks to this mechanism, people with the following 3 characteristics are very satisfied after treatment.

  1. People with thin skin and little facial fat People with little facial fat or thin skin that tends to develop fine lines easily, right?

For these people, the fat layer is thin, so electrical energy is delivered directly to the muscles without interference.

Not only is the lifting efficiency excellent, but as the muscle volume is restored,

the hollowed cheek area can also fill out naturally.

To summarize the paper,

the eyebrow position was lifted by about 22%,

the cheek area was lifted by an average of 3.83 mm,

the cheek area volume increased by 1.27 ml,

the sagging cheeks and deep cheek volume decreased by 1.06 ml

→ You could say that the sagging areas are lifted and the volume is moved upward.

  1. People whose midface has become longer and who look older As we age, the muscles of the front cheekbones lose strength and descend.

Then the distance from under the eyes to the lips (the midface) can look longer and appear more hollow.

Emface focuses on lifting the cheekbone muscles (the zygomaticus minor and zygomaticus major).

As the volume of the front cheekbones that had dropped is lifted back into place,

the midface looks shorter visually and gives a much younger impression.

  1. People who dislike pain and want to become naturally more attractive There are people who say, “Lifting is too painful, so I can’t get it.”

Hongdae Emface does not even require anesthetic cream.

You only feel a warm sensation and the muscles twitching.

Since it does not create any wounds on the surface of the skin, you can put on makeup and go to work right after the procedure, and no one will know.

It is a good alternative for people worried about pain and downtime.

  1. On the other hand, when results are hard to see

However, for the following people, we recommend other procedures first.

People with excessive facial fat: A thick fat layer interferes with the energy reaching the muscles, reducing lifting efficiency.

People whose skin itself is very thick and firm: Even if the muscles are lifted, the heavy thick skin may make the lifting less noticeable on the surface.

For these people, other devices such as Ulthera or Thermage FLX may be more efficient.

“If my skin is thin and I don’t have much fat, then I should just get it. I’ll go to a cost-effective factory-style clinic.”

If you decide that way, you may regret it.

In fact, among the people who came to the clinic,

there were cases where the conditions seemed suitable,

but the degree of sagging was already so severe that Emface alone was not enough.

After receiving a mechanical procedure without an accurate diagnosis, they ended up seeing almost no effect and felt discouraged.

The important thing is to meet a doctor who can accurately assess your skin condition.

For a procedure without failure, be sure to read the post below first.

Emface: Summary of the three cases where it works well

Let me summarize today’s content.

  • Thin skin and little facial fat
  • Concerned because the midface is long
  • Can’t tolerate painful lifting

If you fall into these categories, Hongdae Emface is a case where you can expect results.

Lifting is not about expensive equipment being good and cheap equipment being bad.

There is a device that suits your face.

So rather than deciding on a procedure just because other people say it’s good,

I recommend consulting with medical staff who carefully evaluate your skin thickness and muscle condition.

Thank you. This was Jo Wonjin.
