EMFACE® vs Thermage® FLX: Which Suits You?

Two flagship non-invasive lifting options compared — technology, candidates and results.

EMFACE® and Thermage® FLX are two leading non-invasive facial tightening options. Both avoid injectables and long downtime, yet they work differently.

EMFACE® — Muscle + Skin Lift

EMFACE® pairs HIFES™ facial electromagnetic stimulation with synchronized RF. HIFES™ contracts muscles for structural support while RF heats dermis to encourage collagen.

  • Clinical figures often cited: lift about 37%, wrinkles -23%, muscle density +30%
  • Session about 20 minutes; course often 4 visits
  • Ideal for contour laxity and overall lift goals

Thermage® FLX — Classic Collagen Remodeling

Fourth-generation monopolar RF tightens existing collagen and stimulates new formation over months, with durability often quoted at 1-2 years.

  • Often meaningful after a single session
  • Face, neck, periorbital and body areas
  • FDA-cleared with broad skin-type experience
