Who it may be considered for
EMFACE may be considered when sagging and fine lines of the forehead, brows, or cheeks are a concern, or when the aim is to firm up the overall facial contour such as the nasolabial area and jawline.
- Needles, injections, or anaesthesia feel burdensome
- An immediate return to daily life without a recovery period is desired
- Ongoing, non-invasive firmness care is preferred
At Repic Clinic, diagnostic equipment such as METAVU and MARK-VU is used first to determine whether the sagging is driven more by muscle or by skin, and the treatment areas and approach are then designed individually. Certain items must be disclosed in advance for safety reasons — pregnancy or breastfeeding, metal implants, pacemakers, artificial joints, and the like — so please review the precautions and inform us during the consultation. Eligibility for treatment is judged individually by the medical team.
What happens at the visit
1) Consultation, screening & diagnosis: implanted electronic devices such as a pacemaker, artificial joints, metal implants (including dental implants and gold teeth), and pregnancy/breastfeeding are verbally re-confirmed, and where helpful skin and firmness are checked with diagnostic imaging to identify the zones that need stimulation.
2) Mapping: the physician marks the target zones such as forehead, cheeks and cheekbones, and jawline.
3) Patch placement: single-use treatment patches are applied to the face (cheeks and forehead), and a reference (grounding) patch is placed on the upper back near the shoulder blade. This back patch simply completes the device's electrical circuit safely and causes no discomfort.
4) Activation: HIFES delivers electromagnetic stimulation that contracts the muscles rhythmically, while RF heat simultaneously warms the deeper skin. During treatment there is a tightening, exercise-like sensation along with gentle warmth, but no needle pain.
5) Finish: after about 20 minutes the patches are removed, and patients can wash the face and apply makeup right away. No dedicated recovery time is required.
Safety and aftercare
Not performed (absolute contraindications): pregnancy or breastfeeding; use of an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator. Disclose in advance — physician decides case by case: metal implants (including dental implants, gold teeth, and crowns) and artificial joints, as the treatment area, approach, or eligibility may be adjusted; the clinic should be informed beforehand. Please also consult the medical staff for those with active inflammation or infection at the treatment site, a strong tendency toward keloid scarring, or a bleeding disorder. Temporary warmth or redness after the session settles naturally. This is general information only; eligibility and the number of sessions are determined individually after a medical consultation.

Frequently asked questions
When Will EMFACE Results Appear — and How Long Do They Last?
- supporting and lifting volume in the mid-face (cheeks and cheekbones) to help with mid-face lifting - stimulating the forehead muscles to help with forehead lifting
Is there really no downtime after EMFACE?
With no incisions or injections, there is virtually no recovery period. After the roughly 20-minute session patients can wash the face, apply makeup, and return to daily activities right away. Mild, temporary redness or warmth may occur but settles on its own.
How many EMFACE sessions are needed?
EMFACE is generally recommended as a program of several sessions spaced at intervals, and the actual intervals and number of sessions are decided individually after examination based on the skin and muscle condition. A specific plan is provided during consultation.
Can EMFACE be used with dental implants or gold teeth?
Because EMFACE uses electromagnetic stimulation, having metal implants (including dental implants and gold teeth) may change the treatment area or approach, or may exclude the patient from treatment. Eligibility is decided by the physician, so it is important to inform the doctor during the consultation.
