Hongdae Emface Effects, Treatment Cycle, and Selection Criteria

Hello. I’m Dr. Jo Wonjin, and I have been seeing patients for 10 years.

It’s not even an Emface laser device,

so wouldn’t they all be about the same?

Because the procedure involves attaching a dedicated pad to the face, many people think this way.

The assumption is that since the machine delivers energy, the results should be the same no matter which clinic you go to.

To start with the conclusion: that is absolutely not the case.

Because everyone has different cheekbone muscle positions and sizes, as well as different degrees of facial asymmetry,

if the pads are not attached after finding the correct location, you may end up wasting your money.

Today, under the topic of Hongdae Emface effects, treatment cycle, and selection criteria,

for those considering Hongdae Emface lifting, I’ll explain the exact treatment effects, when it is best to get it,

and the criteria for choosing a clinic without failure.

If you spend just 3 minutes and read to the end of today’s post, it should become a little easier to decide on the procedure and choose a clinic.

1. Emface principles and effects

Most lifting treatments deliver energy only to the dermis or the superficial fascia layer, right?

Emface targets the facial support structure located deeper inside, namely the facial muscles.

As we age, the cheek muscles in our face (the zygomaticus major and zygomaticus minor) gradually lose strength and begin to sag downward.

Hongdae Emface delivers radiofrequency and powerful electromagnetic energy at the same time,

and uses that energy to exercise the weakened muscles so they contract and relax on their own.

As a result, the core of the weakened muscles becomes firmer, as if it had been exercised,

and the sagging front cheek is lifted upward, creating a lifting effect.

As the volume points return to their proper place, the face gains more dimension and the midface appears much shorter.

2. Recommended candidates and treatment cycle for Emface

When seeing patients, many people ask, “My wrinkles aren’t deep yet, so is it okay to do this now?”

To begin with the conclusion: it is much more efficient to start before the muscles have completely lost their strength.

If sagging in the face becomes more severe and the weight pulling from within becomes too great,

tightening only the outer skin will cause it to sag again quickly.

In the end, the face is made up of muscle and fat, and before the muscles that support the entire face collapse,

it is easier to think of this as doing reinforcement work in advance by building core strength.

If you’re wondering, “Will I see results?”, you may be able to tell more clearly if you read the post below.

So what is the treatment cycle for Hongdae Emface?

It varies depending on each person’s muscle condition, but for the most ideal course,

a repeat treatment of about 4 to 6 sessions at one-week intervals is recommended.

If the muscles are built up firmly this way, the effect can last for several months to about a year.

After that, if you continue maintenance therapy before the muscle strength completely fades,

you can keep the improved condition for much longer.

3. Criteria for choosing an Emface clinic

As I mentioned in the introduction, the shape of the muscles in our face varies from person to person as much as fingerprints do.

Then the key to choosing a clinic becomes how that difference is applied in the actual procedure.

The first thing you should check is whether the clinic carefully evaluates not only your face at rest,

but also your dynamic movements.

The shape of the face when it is still and the strength of the expression muscles we use when smiling or talking are completely different.

In actual medical practice, only when the medical staff directly talks with the patient

and delicately diagnoses the muscle usage and the degree of asymmetry on both sides one by one,

can they design the exact target points where the pads will be attached.

(It’s also a very good device for correcting asymmetry, so I often do self-treatment too.^^)

It is important to identify the attachment points accurately like this.

In addition, the energy intensity must be finely adjusted to match the recipient’s skin thickness and amount of fat for the best results.

Also, in rare cases, muscle soreness or slight redness may appear after the procedure.

It is good when a clinic explains these natural reactions sufficiently in advance,

and performs the treatment comfortably without overdoing it, according to each person’s condition.

Key summary of Emface lifting

So far, we have looked at overall information about Hongdae Emface and how to choose a safe clinic.

Let me summarize today’s content in three points.

• Emface effect: directly exercises the facial core (the cheek muscles), lifting the sagging front cheek upward

• Treatment cycle: 4 sessions at one-week intervals are recommended, and the effect lasts when maintenance therapy is received before muscle strength declines

• Selection criteria: a clinic that precisely attaches the pads by identifying the exact anatomical position of each person’s facial muscles, which differ from person to person

In the end, for any procedure, the first step is meeting medical staff who can accurately diagnose the condition of your face.

Please carefully check whether it is a place that sincerely listens to your concerns and suggests only the treatments that are truly necessary.

Regarding this, be sure to read the post below about how to choose a clinic that reduces risk.

Thank you. This was Jo Wonjin.
