Frequently Asked Questions
Almost everyone is a good candidate for Emface in Des Moines! To qualify for Emface facial contouring, you must be 18 to 75 years of age and in good health. At Brightside Aesthetics, we recommend Emface to patients who want to address skin laxity and a lack of facial muscle tone.

Yes, there are minimal side effects associated with Emface, including mild redness, warmth, or tingling in the treatment area. These symptoms will subside in the days after your appointment.
The Science Behind Emface
By using high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES), Emface creates intense facial muscle contractions that restore volume to facial features over time. When paired with thermal energy from radiofrequency, Emface also boosts collagen and elastin production to improve the skin at a cellular level for a firmer, more youthful complexion.
What to Expect
Emface is an entirely pain-free facial contouring and muscle building treatment. During this noninvasive treatment, many of our patients report feeling slight muscle contractions and a warming sensation.
Though the results of Emface are gradual, you can usually see facial muscle tone improvements within your first few sessions. Our experts recommend a minimum of 4 Emface treatment sessions for continued collagen regeneration.
Instructions for Care
After your Emface facial muscle building treatment, your provider will give you an in-depth guide to take care of your skin. We recommend following these suggestions and attending all additional appointments to achieve optimal results.
Similar to many of our other treatments, we recommend staying hydrated before and after all your Emface treatment sessions. Drinking plenty of water can accelerate the healing process and enhance your facial contouring results.
