Dr Steven Liew, Dr Sam Patel & Gareth Pepper - ‘Emface’ #192

1 hour 10 minutes

Episode 192 hosts Dr Steven Liew (Plastic Surgeon, Sydney Australia), Dr Sam Patel (Business Entrepreneur, Chicago, USA) & Gareth Pepper (National Sales Director of BTL Aesthetics, Australia). We also welcome back Professor Sebastian Cotofana for a cameo appearance!

In this episode we discuss a completely new device category in facial aesthetics called EMFACE by BTL Aesthetics.

EMFACE opens a new chapter in how facial rejuvenation can be achieved. It combines High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) energy and Radiofrequency (RF) technologies together. This unique combined technique (delivered simulataneously via three facial applicators) strengthens and tones specific muscles of the face whilst also improving the quality of the skin.

We explore:

- What EMFACE is & how it works

- Why the technologies of HIFES & RF are combined

- Who makes a good candidate for an EMFACE treatment

- What the SMAS is, how it ages and why HIFES + RF are combined

- Understanding frontalis aging: how stimulating the forehead area with EMFACE actually reduces wrinkles

- Professor Sebastian Cotofana's views on EMFACE, the anatomy of the SMAS, it's relationship to facial ageing and how EMFACE fits into this equation

- The intriguing possibility of using EMFACE for off-label treatments in patients with facial palsies or significant facial asymmetry

- Whether EMFACE replaces the need for injectable treatments

- How clinic and injectors can easily incorporate a device like EMFACE into their clinic

- The beauty of an ‘operator-independent’ type treatment and creating the best patient experience
