Thanks for the question, I would be careful with any devices on the face as the nerves are not that far from the skin if you are interested in facial contouring best to see a local surgeon
Dear monis_416,Thank you for your clinical post. Most plastic surgeons and physicians do nothave experience with the electrical stimulation devices that you are referringto. Radio frequency devices such asThermage, Venus Freeze, Forma and Exilis are electrical current devices thatall slate at 1,000,000 cycles per second and use repeatedly on the face willtighten the skin, but not significant ultra facial shape.Electrical stimulation devices offered at a lower frequencyand work on stimulating and hypertrophying, that is enlarging, the facialmuscles and will change facial shape and can result in some thinning of heavynasolabial folds, smile lines and jowls. We’ve been performing myofacials such as you refer to for over 15 yearsand have a lot of experience in facial shaping using electrical stimulation.These treatments are not painful. You require several treatments to get theresults you’re looking for and then some maintenance treatments to protect yourinvestment.I hope this information has been of some assistance.R.
