EMFACE Eye Applicators: EMFACE Eye Applicators: Reducing Wrinkles, Crow's Feet, Dark Circles, Fat Herniations, and Puffiness
BTL Industries has introduced their latest development to their EMFACE device- the eye applicators. These applicators are designed to target concerns around the delicate eye area, including fine lines, wrinkles, crow's feet, eye puffiness, dark circles, and fat herniations.
How does the EMFACE technology work for tissue stimulation and rejuvenation around the eyes?
Reduction of Fine Lines, Wrinkles, and Crow's Feet:
- EMFACE technology is known for combining radiofrequency (RF) and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) in a single treatment. The RF energy heats the dermis (the skin's deeper layer) to initiate collagen and elastin production, which are crucial for skin firmness and elasticity, and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
- EMS, on the other hand, is designed to contract muscles, mimicking a natural workout. For the eye area, this could mean specifically targeting muscles that support the eye, such as the inferior portion of the orbicularis oculi, leading to a more toned and firm appearance, reducing the appearance of crow's feet and wrinkles.
Mitigation of Eye Puffiness and Fat Herniations:
- Eye puffiness and fat herniations can result from poor lymphatic drainage and weakening of skin and muscle structures around the eyes. By utilizing EMS, the EMFACE technology stimulates the orbicularis oculi muscle, improving its tone. A stronger muscle supports better lymphatic drainage, as muscle movements are known to promote lymph flow, reducing puffiness and dark circles.
- RF energy could further support structural improvements by encouraging tissue remodeling in the skin and underlying tissues, impacting the appearance of fat herniations under the eyes.
Strengthening the Muscle:
- Strengthening the inferior portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle through EMS has a smoothing effect on the skin above, thus improving the overall appearance of the under-eye area by reducing sagging and tightening the skin.
It's important to emphasize that the effectiveness of such treatments can vary from individual to individual, and safety or efficacy outcomes should be discussed with a professional. Treatments involving RF and EMS have been generally considered safe and effective for various cosmetic concerns, provided they are administered by certified practitioners under appropriate conditions. Always consult with a specialist to ensure the treatment meets your specific needs and to understand any potential risks or side effects.
