There is really no ideal age for Emface treatment. It depends on your facial structure and skin condition. Some people can experience signs of facial framework and skin aging at earlier ages than other people. Emface treatment initiated earlier can achieve a desired result potentially with less sessions. If skin sagging and loss of facial tone is evident, seek a consultation to get information on realistic results for your current condition.
We recommend a minimum of four 20 minute treatments spaced about one week apart. Most of our patients see optimum results 3 months after the last treatment. Other patients see better results with one treatment per decade of life. This depends on your facial structure and your goals. I am over 60 years old and I did 6 treatments.
Emface is not painful, does not require any local or topical anesthesia, and there is no downtime. Each session is 20 minutes in duration. The RF portion of Emface warms the tissue while the electromagnetics stimulates the facial muscle contractions. Although not painful it is a different feeling having the muscles contract for brief periods. It makes your face look like it's squinting, or like you tasted something very sour. Some of our patients say it feels like a facial massage and that it is relaxing.
Exion RF AI micro-needling is great for skin resurfacing and texture remodeling. On average it has been shown to decrease the appearance of acne scars by 41% after the minimal 3 - 4 treatment sessions. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This is less painful than Morpheus8 as this is a single pass procedure, meaning each area is treated once. There is no reason to go over the same area 3 times like Morpheus8. This can be very uncomfortable. While a topical anesthetic can decrease discomfort, many patients do not feel the need for it. Overall, Exion RF micro-needling can significantly decrease acne scars and improve skin texture. Optimum results are seen 3 months after the last treatment session.
Your skin texture appears fairly smooth in these pictures. Not sure what the appearance was pre-operatively, but overall your skin looks good. If you wanted to gain better texture and further reduction of scarring, Exion RF AI micro-needling might offer further improvement. I am not sure any further significant improvements can be achieved given your treatment history already. However, the Exion micro-needling penetrates the skin to mechanically break-up fibroblasts that stimulate collagen and elastin remodeling. While this heals, it smooths the texture of the skin. Since several laser treatments have already been done, your results might be limited as you appear to have nice skin texture already. Most patients achieve great results after 3 - 4 treatments spaced a week apart. Optimum results are seen at 3 months after the last treatment.
