Consultation
Dr. Bayliss evaluates your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and creates a customized Emface treatment plan for your unique needs.

Non-invasive treatment combining radiofrequency and muscle stimulation to lift, tone, and smooth facial skin without needles or toxins.
Understanding Facial Muscle Decline
Over time, the muscles beneath your skin gradually weaken and lose tone, while collagen and elastin production slows. The result is a face that looks tired, saggy, and older than you feel. You may notice your cheeks flattening, your jawline softening, and forehead lines deepening. These changes are not just cosmetic — they affect how you feel when you look in the mirror, how confident you are in photos, and how others perceive your energy and vitality. Traditional options like Botox freeze muscles, and fillers add synthetic volume, but neither addresses the root cause: weakened facial muscles and declining skin structure.
Emface takes a fundamentally different approach by strengthening the very muscles that support your facial structure while simultaneously stimulating new collagen and elastin production in the skin above. Using synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES technology, Emface lifts from within by toning the frontalis, zygomaticus, and masseter muscles while tightening and smoothing the overlying skin. Clinical studies demonstrate a 37% reduction in wrinkles, a 30% increase in muscle tone, and a 23% lifting effect. The result is a naturally restored, more youthful appearance without needles, toxins, or surgery — and with zero downtime.
The Science of Facial Restoration
Emface is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive facial rejuvenation device manufactured by BTL Industries. It is the first and only treatment that simultaneously applies high-intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES) and synchronized radiofrequency (RF) energy to lift, tone, and smooth the face without needles, toxins, or fillers. Unlike treatments that target only the skin surface, Emface works on both the muscular and dermal layers of the face for comprehensive structural rejuvenation.
Emface delivers two energies simultaneously through self-adhesive applicators placed on the forehead and cheeks. HIFES technology selectively stimulates facial muscles with high-intensity electrical impulses, causing thousands of supramaximal contractions that strengthen and tone the underlying muscle structure. At the same time, synchronized radiofrequency energy heats the dermis to stimulate neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis — the body's natural production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Clinical histological analysis has confirmed a 26% increase in collagen and over 100% increase in elastin content following treatment.
Each Emface session lasts approximately 20 minutes. You will sit comfortably while self-adhesive applicators are placed on your forehead and both cheeks. You will feel a warming sensation from the radiofrequency energy along with rhythmic muscle contractions from the HIFES stimulation. Most patients describe the experience as comfortable and relaxing, similar to a warm facial massage combined with gentle muscle toning. There is no anesthesia required and no recovery period.
Many patients notice visible improvement after their first session, with optimal results developing over two to three months as new collagen and elastin fibers mature. Clinical studies across multiple centers demonstrate an average 37% wrinkle reduction, 30% increase in facial muscle tone, and 23% facial lifting effect at three months post-treatment. Results typically last six to 12 months, and maintenance sessions every three to six months help sustain your rejuvenated appearance.

What to Know
Emface is well-tolerated by most patients. The most commonly reported side effects are mild and temporary, including slight redness or warmth in the treatment area that typically resolves within one to two hours, mild muscle tenderness similar to post-exercise soreness that fades within 24 hours, and occasional tingling during the procedure itself. These effects are normal responses to the radiofrequency and muscle stimulation energies.
Serious adverse effects are exceptionally rare with Emface. Unlike injectable treatments, there is no risk of bruising, infection at injection sites, vascular occlusion, or allergic reactions to filler materials. Clinical studies involving hundreds of patients have reported no cases of hyperpigmentation, nerve damage, or hematoma.
Emface is FDA-cleared for facial rejuvenation. Multiple peer-reviewed clinical studies support its safety and efficacy profile. Dr. Bayliss oversees every treatment at Ivy Collaborative Healthcare, ensuring proper applicator placement and energy settings tailored to your individual needs for the safest possible experience.
