Our physician’s Real Emface® Cases
Before & after cases for this treatment are currently being compiled and updated. All cases are clinical records of real Luowei Medical Aesthetics Clinic clients who have signed a written Media Release Form. Our physician will personally present the complete case materials during your consultation.
Why Choose Luowei Medical Aesthetics Clinic for Emface® in Nanjing
Emface® is not “a stick-on facial massager”, Emface is a precision treatment that requires a physician to select muscle stimulation intensity, energy parameters, and treatment pacing based on each client’s Facial Tension Assessment (FTA) score. Too little energy yields no result; too much causes temporary unnatural facial expression or discomfort at the electrode sites.
BTL Aesthetics NMPA-registered clinic
Our clinic uses authentic Emface® devices. All four electrodes, parameter protocols, and software updates are sourced exclusively through BTL’s authorized distribution channel. Equipment is calibrated by the manufacturer every six months.
Physician-directed parameter setting
Our physician individually calibrates HIFES intensity (10–100%), RF energy levels, and treatment duration based on your FTA score, skin thickness, and muscle tone — avoiding one-size-fits-all settings.“Fixed at one setting throughout” a one-size-fits-all approach.
A comprehensive tightening and lifting device ecosystem
Our clinic is also equipped with Ultherapy®/ Sofwave®/ Thermage®/ Emface® Across four tightening platforms, our physician selects the most appropriate option based on your specific layer of laxity — SMAS, dermis, subcutaneous fat, or muscle — never recommending a treatment simply because “Only this device” simply to upsell.
90% Experience with Asian clientele
Asian faces differ from Western faces in subcutaneous fat distribution, skeletal support, and skin thickness. Drawing on a clientele that is over 90% Asian, our physician has developed energy parameter protocols specifically tailored to Asian facial anatomy.
Breastfeeding-friendly / suitable during periods when injections are avoided
Emface No systemic absorption · not a pharmaceutical · does not affect breastfeeding. A safe tightening option for clients who cannot receive injections due to specific physiological circumstances.
- BTL Aesthetics manufacturer authorization— Full traceability across device, electrodes, software, and training
- NMPA Register— Emface Compliant with Chinese medical device regulations

Emface® What is it?
Emface® (pronunciation “Em-Face”) Emface® is the world’s first device of its kind, launched by BTL Aesthetics in 2022,Synchronized RF + HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation) a non-injectable facial tightening and lifting device that combines two technologies. Using four soft applicators, it simultaneously heats the dermis and stimulates the facial lifting muscles (zygomaticus major, frontalis, and risorius) to achieve“Firmer skin + stronger muscles + a more youthful face” A three-in-one result.
Traditional skin-tightening devices such as Ultherapy® (focused ultrasound), Sofwave™ (mid-frequency ultrasound), and Thermage® FLX (radiofrequency) primarily target Skin layers, by heating deep tissue to stimulate collagen remodeling. However, another key cause of facial sagging is loss of tone in the facial lifting muscles— The lifting muscles of the face — including the zygomaticus, frontalis, and risorius — weaken with age and lose their ability to counteract gravity. Emface® is the first device to simultaneously address“Skin laxity + muscle weakness” both key causes of facial aging — in a single non-invasive device.
Emface The core innovation is HIFES™ technology. By delivering electromagnetic pulses, it induces 4–6 supramaximal muscle contractions per second in the facial lifting muscles — far exceeding the frequency achievable through voluntary effort — stimulating muscle fibers to enter “Contraction–recovery” cycle,20–30% improvement in muscle density and tone. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy heats the dermis to 40–43°C to stimulate collagen and elastin regeneration. Each session lasts 20 minutes, and a complete treatment cycle consists of 4 sessions.

Emface vs Other tightening and lifting devices
| Device | How it works | Key advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Emface® | RF + HIFES Muscle | Simultaneously tighten skin + lift muscles |
| Ultherapy® | Focused ultrasound SMAS | Deep SMAS tightening |
| Sofwave® | Mid-frequency ultrasound targeting the dermis | Dermal collagen stimulation |
| Thermage® | Monopolar RF | Broad-area skin tightening |
| HIFU | Focused ultrasound | Deep-layer lifting (significant discomfort) |
Emface is the only non-invasive device that simultaneously stimulates the facial muscles, making it particularly suited for “Skin condition is acceptable but lifting strength has declined” an excellent match for clients aged 35–55.
Emface® How It Works
Emface® Delivered simultaneously through four soft electrodes RF thermal energy + HIFES electromagnetic muscle stimulation Two energy modalities, each targeting Dermis (skin tightening) and Facial lifting muscles (enhanced muscle tone). This is the first treatment to combine “Skin anti-aging” and “Muscle-based anti-aging” combined into a single non-invasive treatment session.
Facial Tension Assessment (FTA) evaluation
Our physician uses the Facial Tension Assessment (FTA, grades 1–5) to evaluate your baseline muscle tone, degree of skin laxity, zygomatic arch position, and jawline definition — then determines the appropriate energy parameters and number of Emface® sessions. FTA grades 2–3 (mild to moderate laxity) represent the ideal indications for Emface®.
Precise placement of four soft electrodes
After cleansing your face, the technician places four single-use gel electrodes — two over the zygomatic arches and two on the forehead. The electrodes sit firmly against the skin without piercing it. Placement is mapped by our physician according to your individual facial anatomy to ensure the RF and HIFES energies precisely cover the target muscle groups.
RF Simultaneously heats the dermis to 40–43°C
Once the device is activated, radiofrequency energy raises the dermal temperature to 40–43°C within 30 seconds and maintains it throughout the session. This temperature range is the optimal temperature window for collagen remodeling and elastin regeneration. The entire treatment feels like a gentle warmth with no significant pain.
HIFES Electromagnetic pulses inducing supramaximal muscle contractions
Simultaneously, HIFES delivers electromagnetic pulses that induce 4–6 supramaximal contractions per second in the facial lifting muscles — the zygomaticus, frontalis, and risorius. Clients feel a rhythmic twitching or pulsing sensation in the facial muscles. Intensity is gradually increased from 10% to 100%, adjusted by our physician according to your tolerance. Over the course of a 20-minute session, the cumulative effect is equivalent to 5,000 facial micro-expressions.
Sessions 2–4 · Increased muscle density / dermal collagen regeneration
One session per week for 4 weeks. From the second session onward, clients typically notice a visible lift at the cheekbones and increased facial firmness. Muscle density progressively increases by 20–30%, while new dermal collagen and elastin continue to develop for up to 3 months after the final treatment.
Maintenance period 6–12 months · consolidation every quarter
4 Results following the full treatment course last 6–12 months. A quarterly maintenance session (every 3 months) is recommended to keep muscle tone and skin firmness at their peak and prevent re-entering a laxity cycle. Three to four maintenance sessions per year are typically sufficient.
Emface Three key safety checkpoints in the treatment process
Emface® This NMPA-registered non-invasive device has an excellent overall safety profile. However, the following should be noted:Screening for metal implants, individualized energy settings, and precise electrode placement three key milestones.
Metal implant screening
Facial metal implants (plates / permanent threads / pacemakers) are contraindicated · RF energy may generate localized heat spots around metal
Individualized energy settings
HIFES Intensity increases gradually from 10% · our physician adjusts individually based on your tolerance · No pursuit of “Fixed at one setting throughout”
Precise electrode placement
Electrode positions are marked by the physician · preventing inadvertent coverage of the marginal mandibular nerve or supraorbital nerve regions
Am I a Candidate for Emface®?
Emface is not “an all-purpose tightening device”. Emface is the strongest match for clients with mild-to-moderate laxity who prefer to avoid injectables and have limited time available. It may not be the first choice for clients with significant laxity, skeletal ptosis, or those seeking immediate visible results.
You may be a good candidate if…
- 35-55 years old · Mild to moderate facial laxity (FTA grades 2–3)
- Early laxity along the cheekbone-to-jawline contour without significant ptosis
- Prefer to avoid injections / not interested in Botox® / not interested in fillers
- Special periods during which injections are not suitable, such as pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Limited time · looking for a treatment that fits into a 20-minute lunch break · minimal downtime
- Reduced facial muscle tone (weak zygomaticus / risorius muscles)
- Already receiving Botox® / fillers · Seeking a combination approach for added results
- Holds realistic expectations · committed to 4 sessions plus long-term maintenance
Treatment is not recommended if any of the following apply…
- Facial metal implants (plates / permanent threads / pacemakers / internal fixation hardware)
- Cardiac pacemaker / defibrillator
- Epilepsy or electromagnetic sensitivity disorders
- Active facial infection / rash / open wound
- Currently undergoing malignancy treatment
- Significant laxity (FTA grade 4–5 · Ultherapy or surgical intervention recommended)
- Patients expecting immediate, dramatic results (Emface® produces gradual improvement)
- Predominantly skeletal-related sagging · Emface® cannot alter bone structure
FTA Tension Score × Emface Suitability × Recommended Treatment
Our physician uses the Facial Tension Assessment (FTA, graded 1–5) as the primary clinical benchmark for determining Emface candidacy:
| FTA Grade | Degree of laxity | Emface adaptability | Recommended Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| FTA 1 | No significant laxity | Not required · Preventive type | Defer treatment · monitor regularly |
| FTA 2 | Mild laxity (ideal candidate) | ★★★★★ Best match | 4 sessions + quarterly maintenance |
| FTA 3 | Moderate laxity | ★★★★ good | 4-6 sessions |
| FTA 4 | Significant laxity | ★★ supplementary | Combination with Ultherapy / Sofwave recommended |
| FTA 5 | Significant laxity | ★ Minimal to no effect | Thread lift / surgical lift recommended |
Nanjing Emface® Treatment Planning
Emface® Emface is a progressive treatment built on a 4-session foundation with long-term maintenance. Our treatment plan is designed so you can see improved muscle tone within 4 weeks, collagen remodeling results within 4 months, and sustained outcomes beyond 12 months through quarterly maintenance sessions.
30 minute complimentary consultation and FTA assessment
Facial Tension Assessment (FTA) + skin laxity grading + zygomatic arch position evaluation + metal implant screening — together these determine whether Emface® is appropriate, or whether combination treatment with Ultherapy®, Sofwave™, or injectables is recommended.
Personalized energy parameter settings
Based on your FTA score, skin thickness, muscle tone, and tolerance, our physician sets the HIFES intensity (10–100%), RF energy level, and electrode placement. The first session begins conservatively, with intensity increased progressively in subsequent sessions according to your tolerance.
4 sessions · Once per week · 4 weeks in total
One 20-minute session per week. After the 2nd session, patients typically begin to notice a visible lift in the zygomatic arch area; peak in-treatment results are reached after the 4th session. Normal work and daily activities can continue throughout the entire 4-week course — minimal downtime.
3 Peak results at several months post-treatment · quarterly maintenance
4 After the final session, collagen and elastin continue to regenerate for up to 3 months, with results reaching their true peak at the 3-month mark. Quarterly maintenance treatments are then recommended to sustain results for 12 months or longer.
Emface Typical timeline
Emface is not “Immediate visible results upon completion” It is not an instant-result treatment, but a gradual process: 4 weeks of treatment followed by a 3-month peak-result period:
| Key time points | Content |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Free 30-Minute Consultation · Facial Tension Assessment (FTA) · Personalized treatment parameters |
| Session 1 (Week 1) | 20 minute treatment · Walk in, walk out · Minimal downtime · Makeup immediately after |
| Session 2 (W2) | Visible lift in the zygomatic arch area begins to appear · Self-assessed improvement “healthy, radiant complexion” |
| Session 3 (W3) | Improved cheek firmness · Jawline becomes more defined |
| Session 4 (Week 4) | Treatment complete · photos taken for before-and-after records · overall lift clearly visible |
| Month 3 | Collagen and elastin regeneration peaks · results fully stabilize |
| Months 6–12 | Quarterly maintenance · keeping results at their peak |
For male clients, those with more significant laxity, or clients whose results from the initial course were insufficient, our physician may recommend extending to 6 sessions or combining treatment with Ultherapy.
Emface® Treatable indications
Emface works simultaneously on both the skin layer and the muscle layer, addressing a range of mild-to-moderate facial laxity concerns — from a visible lift at the cheekbones and a more defined jawline to an elevated brow and forehead.
Visible cheekbone lift
Enhanced zygomaticus muscle tone combined with dermal tightening around the zygomatic arch produces a visible 2–3 mm lift in the cheekbone highlight zone and a more defined V-shaped facial contour, “Apple cheeks” Restored.
4 sessions / quarterly maintenance
Jawline definition enhanced
Tightening of skin in the lower face + improved definition of the jawline, “Early signs of a double chin” improved. Delivers a noticeable visual improvement for mild cheek sagging.
4-6 sessions
Forehead / brow and eye area lifting
Enhanced frontalis muscle tone combined with forehead dermal tightening produces a subtle 1–2 mm brow lift and a more open upper eyelid appearance. It is Botox brow lift a non-injectable alternative.
4 sessions
Overall facial firmness
Heating the dermis to 40–43°C continuously stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in comprehensive improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and smoothness.

Emface is not “just stick it on” a standardized cosmetic device
Emface is an electromagnetic muscle stimulation device — insufficient energy produces no effect, while excessive energy causes a temporary pulling sensation in the face or discomfort at the electrode sites. HIFES intensity must be individually calibrated by a physician based on your FTA score, skin thickness, muscle tone, and tolerance. This is a clinical judgment that no software preset can replace.
Our physician has been using Emface® clinically since its early launch in China. The systematic protocols our physician developed for male patients, breastfeeding patients, and injection-averse clients have become a reference point for peers. Our clinic is fully equipped with Ultherapy®, Sofwave™, Thermage® FLX, and Emface® — and will never recommend a treatment simply because “Only this device” and push Emface® regardless.
Emface® Treatment Pricing
For Emface® treatments offered at different clinics, the price difference typically does not come from the device itself (the same BTL-manufactured unit), but rather from Who is assessing, who is making clinical judgments, and who is adjusting the parameters. Emface may appear to be “Applicators placed, sit for 20 minutes” a straightforward procedure on the surface, individualized HIFES intensity calibration, precise electrode placement, Facial Tension Assessment (FTA) scoring to determine the number of sessions, and metal implant screening all require genuine medical judgment — not simply pressing a preset button. A physician’s time and clinical experience are themselves medical resources. That is why all Emface® parameters at our clinic are determined by our physician based on your individual profile, then carried out by our trained clinical team.
That said, not every client requires the full cost of deep physician involvement. Mild laxity, second-or-later maintenance sessions, and straightforward cases with no complication risk can be addressed with more cost-effective options. First-time treatments, male clients requiring higher intensity, clients who are breastfeeding, and complex cases requiring combination with Ultherapy or Botox are better suited to full physician oversight from assessment through treatment planning. The final cost of Emface is determined after the consultation — once FTA tension has been assessed, the number of sessions (4 or 6) has been confirmed, and any need for combination devices has been evaluated — and is driven by clinical need, not the other way around. We provide a transparent treatment plan with item-by-item explanations, so you understand the clinical rationale behind every recommended session.
- Payment is made at the clinic, after the consultation and before treatment begins
- Nothing is paid in advance, and no deposit is required to hold an appointment
- Cosmetic treatment is a self-pay item and is not covered by public medical insurance in China
- All new patients receive a complimentary 30-minute Free Consultation & Assessment

What these references can and cannot tell you. They describe what is known about the treatment itself — how well it tends to work, how long results last, and what can go wrong. They are not an assessment of this clinic, and no published study can tell you whether it suits your skin type, anatomy, or medical history. That judgement comes from the physician who examines you in person, and it may well be “not this one”.
