Quick answer
What is Emface?
Emface is a needle-free facial treatment that combines synchronized radiofrequency (RF), which heats the skin to boost collagen, with HIFES electrical muscle stimulation, which contracts and tones the small lifting muscles of the face.
Applicators sit on the forehead and cheeks, so there is nothing to inject or cut. It is chosen for mild cheek and brow sagging, early lines and a tired-looking face, with a gradual, natural lift.

FAQ
Emface questions
Does Emface hurt?
No needles are used. You feel warmth from the RF and tapping muscle contractions; most people find it comfortable.
How many sessions do I need?
A course of about four sessions, 5–10 days apart, is typical. Shorter stays can start a course and continue at home with a similar device.
Emface vs. HIFU?
HIFU lifts deeper connective tissue in one session; Emface tones muscles and firms skin over a course. They can complement each other.
When will I see results?
Some see a fresher look after the first sessions; the main result builds over 1–3 months.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
