When is Ultherapy more recommended & when is Emface more recommended?

Both Ultherapy and EMFACE can improve the appearance of facial aging, but they work quite differently.
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten mildly to moderately loose skin, particularly around the neck, under the chin, and brow. It can be effective for appropriately selected patients, although treatments can be uncomfortable and there are potential risks, including nerve irritation and unwanted changes in facial contours.
EMFACE takes a different approach that we find particularly appealing. It combines radiofrequency to improve skin firmness with HIFES technology to stimulate the underlying facial muscles. Since facial aging involves changes in both skin and muscle support, addressing both can provide a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Treatments are generally comfortable, require no needles, and involve no downtime.
At Precision Aesthetics, we were among the first providers in New York to introduce EMFACE, and our patients have been extremely satisfied with their results.
Perhaps the most important consideration, however, is the experience of the provider. Even the most advanced technology is only as good as the person evaluating your face, selecting the appropriate treatment, and performing it. Different faces age differently, and there is no single technology that's best for everyone.
Our preference is generally EMFACE, particularly for patients interested in improving facial muscle support, firmness, and early signs of aging. However, for patients whose primary concern is loose skin, other skin-tightening technologies may be more appropriate, such as Thermage, which stimulates collagen and tightens skin similarly to Ultherapy, although it uses radiofrequency rather than ultrasound. For some of our patients who want the most comprehensive results, we combine EMFACE and Thermage to address both facial muscle support and skin laxity.
We always recommend a complimentary consultation, not only to make sure the treatment plan makes sense for you, but to assess which treatments are most likely to give you the best results and, equally important, to make sure you feel comfortable and confident with the provider performing them.

Ultherapy and EMFACE work on different structures of the face, so they are usually recommended for different concerns. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen in deeper structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer, which makes it more suitable when the main goal is lifting sagging skin, especially around the jawline, chin, and lower face.
EMFACE, on the other hand, works by combining radiofrequency with muscle stimulation to improve facial muscle tone and skin quality. It is often recommended for patients with early signs of aging who want a more refreshed appearance without significant skin laxity. By strengthening and lifting certain facial muscles, EMFACE can also help create the visual effect of a shorter midface, and if used with the forehead patch, can also make the eyes look slightly bigger, which can make the face appear more youthful and balanced.
