EMFACE System
Skin and muscle, treated together — not something a skin-only device can do
EMFACE is discussed as an option when facial muscle tone plays a role in your goals, alongside skin quality. This page explains how the technology works so you can discuss it accurately in consultation.
What Is EMFACE
Treating Skin and Muscle, Together.
EMFACE is BOME's dual-energy anti-ageing system, delivering customised energy to both the dermal layer of the skin and the underlying facial muscle. Synchronised radiofrequency heats the skin to stimulate new collagen and elastin, while focused electromagnetic energy causes involuntary contractions in the muscles beneath — similar in principle to how targeted muscle stimulation is used on the body, but adapted specifically for the smaller, more delicate muscles of the face.
Because both effects happen at once, in the same session, EMFACE is often described as addressing two contributors to facial ageing — skin laxity and muscle tone — that most single-energy devices only address one of.
Key Benefits
What EMFACE May Help With.
Skin Quality
RF heating stimulates new collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer-feeling skin over time.
Facial Contour
Combined skin and muscle treatment can support a more sculpted overall facial appearance.
No-Downtime Routine
Fits into a lunch-break schedule with no needles, no recovery time and no visible side effects.
How It Works
The EMFACE Treatment Journey.
01
Assessment & Goal Setting
Dr. Kwon discusses whether skin quality, muscle tone, or both are your main focus, to tailor the session plan.
02
Applicator Placement
Applicators are positioned over the cheeks and/or forehead, depending on the treatment plan.
03
Synchronised Energy Delivery
RF heating and muscle stimulation are delivered together for around 20 minutes. Most people feel warmth alongside a tapping or tingling muscle sensation, and can relax or use their phone during the session.
04
Course Completion
You return to normal activities immediately. Results typically build across the 4-session course and continue improving for some weeks afterward as new collagen forms.

!
Pregnancy, active facial implants, or pacemakers
Please disclose these during consultation, as electromagnetic and RF energy may not be suitable in these situations.
How It Compares
EMFACE vs. Other Options.
| Option | What it treats | Typical sessions | Needle-free? |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMFACE | Skin (RF) + facial muscle (electromagnetic) | 4, weekly | Yes |
| Thermage FLX | Skin (RF) only | Usually 1 | Yes |
| Ultherapy PRIME | Skin + SMAS layer (ultrasound) | Usually 1 | Yes |
EMFACE FAQ
Common Questions.
Does EMFACE hurt?
Most people feel a warming sensation from the RF energy along with a tapping or tightening feeling from the muscle stimulation — generally described as comfortable rather than painful.
How many sessions will I need?
EMFACE is typically delivered as a course of 4 sessions, roughly a week apart, though your exact plan is confirmed after assessment.
When will I see results?
Some people notice a difference toward the end of the course, with results continuing to build for several weeks afterward as new collagen and muscle tone develop.
How long do results last?
Many people see benefits lasting around a year, with periodic single maintenance sessions sometimes used to extend the effect — this varies by individual.
Can EMFACE be combined with other treatments?
It's often discussed alongside treatments like Thermage FLX or Ultherapy PRIME for a broader lifting and tightening plan — Dr. Kwon can advise on combining treatments for your goals.
Can international patients fit the course into a Seoul visit?
Since EMFACE is usually a 4-session weekly course, it suits longer stays best. Please share your travel dates when booking so a realistic schedule can be planned.
