EMFACE facial lifting
Smooth, lifted features without needles or surgery. EMFACE uses synchronized energy to firm facial muscles and support your skin, so your face looks more rested while still looking like you, especially across your brows, cheeks or jawline.
- Forehead and brows
- Cheeks and midface
- Jawline and lower face
At Lesh Lifestyle in Sarasota, EMFACE fits into a bigger plan for your health and appearance. Dr. Sarah Secor-Jones, DO, FACEP reads the whole picture before recommending any treatment, looking at how EMFACE can train facial muscles and warm the deeper skin layer that supports collagen and elastin.
When your face stops matching how you feel
You notice it in photos first. Your cheeks do not sit as high as they used to, your brows feel heavier, and the skin across your forehead looks more tired than you feel.
Under bathroom lighting, fine lines on your forehead look like grooves. Makeup settles into them instead of smoothing over. You have searched for options like a non surgical face lift near me, but you do not want needles or a face that does not move.
That change comes from two main shifts over time. The muscles that lift your face weaken, and the collagen in your skin breaks down. The result is a softer jawline, flatter cheeks, and more visible wrinkles.
EMFACE treatment is designed to work on both layers at once. It strengthens key facial muscles while warming the deeper layer of your skin to support collagen and elastin. So lift and smoothness build together.
How EMFACE improves lift, definition and lines
EMFACE is a hands-free device that uses synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES, a high-intensity facial electrical stimulation, in the same session.
The applicators sit on specific areas of your face while you rest. RF gently heats the dermis, the deeper layer of skin, which supports new collagen and elastin over time. HIFES sends controlled pulses that create powerful, repeated muscle contractions in your facial lifting muscles.
In BTL’s clinical studies, EMFACE produced measurable wrinkle reduction, increased muscle tone, and a lifting effect, based on their own research.
EMFACE is used for areas where lift and support really matter:
- Forehead and brows: to help lift the brow and soften horizontal lines.
- Cheeks and midface: to support the muscles that keep cheeks higher.
- Jawline: to improve overall facial contour.
The energy works on the muscles that act like scaffolding for your features, while the heat helps your skin rebuild its structure. It is a way to pursue facial lift and support without incisions, anesthesia or needles.
Where EMFACE fits in your plan
Lesh Lifestyle is a physician-led practice with long-term care in mind. EMFACE is used when it supports that plan.
In your first discovery call, Dr. Sarah listens to what has changed for you across your whole life, including your face. Sleep, stress, hormones, nutrition and weight shifts all affect how skin and muscles behave.
If EMFACE is right for you, it becomes one part of a realistic plan. Sometimes that plan includes health optimization or hormone work first. Sometimes it pairs EMFACE with other regenerative treatments like Exion for skin tightening or EMSCULPT NEO for body contouring, depending on where you want to see change.
The goal is a face that looks more rested and defined, and a body that feels stronger and more energetic, supported by the same doctor who knows your history.
EMFACE treatment timeline
An EMFACE plan is built as a series of short sessions, scheduled close together so the effect can build.
BTL’s standard protocol is four 20-minute sessions, typically spaced about one week apart. This pattern gives facial muscles repeated stimulation and gives skin time to respond to the RF energy between visits.
There is no required downtime after a session. You can go back to work, errands or social plans right away. Dr. Sarah talks with you about expected timelines for your own case, so you know what is realistic for your starting point.
Safety and suitability
EMFACE is FDA-cleared for aesthetic use including facial and neck stimulation, and for the noninvasive temporary reduction of facial wrinkles.
It is not applied over hair or significant scar tissue in the treatment area. It is also not used for people with electronic or metal implants in or near the treatment zones.
In your Sarasota evaluation, Dr. Sarah reviews your medical history and any implanted devices, and studies your skin and facial structure. She explains clearly if EMFACE is appropriate for you and when another approach would be safer or more effective.

EMFACE treatment areas
Forehead and brows
If you wake up and see heavier brows or forehead lines, EMFACE can help lift and support this area without needles. The applicator sits across your forehead, sending HIFES to the forehead muscles while RF warms the skin. Over a series, many people notice a forehead that looks smoother and a brow position that feels natural again.
The Lesh Lifestyle experience
What EMFACE feels like
An EMFACE session is quiet and straightforward. You lie back on the treatment bed in a private room in the Sarasota office. Your skin is cleansed and prepped, then the applicators are placed on your forehead, cheeks, or jawline, according to your plan. As the treatment starts, you feel warmth in the treated areas from the RF energy. It is similar to a warm stone placed on the skin, and most people find it very tolerable. At the same time, you feel a series of quick, rhythmic muscle contractions from the HIFES pulses. They can feel strange at first, like your face is doing a workout on its own. You stay awake and can talk during the session, but many people relax and close their eyes once they get used to the rhythm. There are no needles, numbing injections, or incisions. After the 20-minute session, the applicators come off, your skin may look slightly pink, and then you go back to your day.
The process
Your EMFACE visit, step by step
- Everything at Lesh Lifestyle starts with a discovery call. You book through Practice Better and speak directly with Dr. Sarah. She asks about what has changed in your face, what you have tried, and what your broader health looks like right now. This is where you can ask early questions about EMFACE treatment, other options such as Exion or EMSCULPT NEO, and how they might fit together. There is no pressure to decide on the call.
- If EMFACE seems appropriate, your next visit is an in-person assessment at the Sarasota office. Dr. Sarah studies your facial structure, muscle movement, skin quality and specific areas that bother you, like the forehead, cheeks or jawline. She may take baseline photos for your chart, review your medical history in detail, and check for any reasons EMFACE might not be safe for you, such as electronic or metal implants in the treatment area.
- Based on what she sees, Dr. Sarah outlines a clear plan. This often includes an EMFACE series using the BTL protocol as a starting point and may also include other treatments or health work if needed. You talk about timelines, expected sensations, realistic outcomes, and how EMFACE fits with your schedule. You then schedule your sessions at times that work for you. The team walks you through pre-visit instructions, which are simple for this treatment.
- On the day of each EMFACE session, you arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or heavy skincare. You are brought to the treatment room, where your provider prepares your skin and places the EMFACE applicators according to your plan. During the 20-minute session, you feel warmth and muscle contractions, as described earlier. The room is calm and unhurried. You can rest quietly, listen to music, or chat with your provider.
- When the session ends, the applicators come off and your skin is cleaned again. Mild redness in the treated areas is common, and most people return to normal activities immediately, including work, errands and social plans. There is no strict downtime, and you do not have to avoid public settings.
- As your series progresses, you have a follow-up with Dr. Sarah. She compares your current appearance and photos to your baseline, asks how you feel, and adjusts your longer-term plan as needed. For some, that means maintenance EMFACE sessions over time. For others, it might mean shifting attention to skin quality with Exion or to strength and body composition with EMSCULPT NEO. The plan remains flexible and grounded in your goals.

FAQ
EMFACE FAQs
EMFACE is a noninvasive facial treatment that uses synchronized radiofrequency and high-intensity facial electrical stimulation to work on facial muscles and skin at the same time. It targets areas like the forehead, cheeks and jawline to support lift and firmness without needles.
A surgical facelift removes or repositions tissue through incisions, while EMFACE uses external applicators to stimulate muscles and warm the deeper skin layer. EMFACE does not involve anesthesia, cutting or stitches, and there is no required downtime.
EMFACE is usually well tolerated. Most people feel warmth in the treatment areas and strong, rhythmic muscle contractions that can feel unusual but not painful. There are no needles involved, and if anything feels too intense during your Sarasota session, your provider can adjust settings.
BTL’s standard protocol uses four 20-minute EMFACE sessions, typically about a week apart. Some people later choose maintenance sessions. During your consultation, Dr. Sarah reviews your specific situation and recommends the number and spacing of sessions that make sense for you.
You may feel subtle changes in lift or expression as muscles respond to the stimulation, while skin support can take longer to change. The exact timing is individual. Dr. Sarah sets clear expectations based on your starting point so you are not guessing.
EMFACE is not right for everyone. It is not used over metal or electronic implants or over significant scar tissue in the treatment area. In your Sarasota evaluation, Dr. Sarah reviews your history and anatomy to decide if EMFACE is appropriate and safe for you.
Most side effects are mild, such as temporary redness or warmth in the treated areas. There is no required downtime, and people usually return to work or social plans right away. Your provider reviews expected sensations and signs to watch for before your first session.
Yes. Many people use EMFACE alongside treatments like Exion for focused skin tightening or EMSCULPT NEO for body contouring and muscle building. Dr. Sarah builds the sequence and timing so treatments support each other rather than overlap in a way that strains your tissues.
You start with a discovery call with Dr. Sarah, booked through Practice Better. You discuss your concerns, history, and what you hope to see from EMFACE treatment. If it is a fit, you schedule an in-person evaluation at Lesh Lifestyle in Sarasota. Your face and health work best when they are planned together.
