Your Trusted Partner in Aesthetics

Profile Aesthetic is a medically-led clinic in Aberdeen serving the Northeast of Scotland. We deliver EmFace as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation approach — assessing your concerns and recommending the most effective combination of treatments.

Why Choose EmFace?

EmFace is chosen when the goal is facial lifting, toning and wrinkle reduction without needles, fillers or downtime. It's the first device to simultaneously deliver radiofrequency energy (to stimulate collagen and reduce wrinkles) and HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) to tone and strengthen the underlying facial muscles that provide structure and support.

As we age, facial muscles weaken and collagen diminishes — contributing to sagging and wrinkles. EmFace addresses both factors in a single, non-invasive treatment. It's a popular option for patients who want visible improvement without any injectable treatments.

Procedure Details

Applicator pads are placed on the forehead, cheeks or jawline area. These deliver synchronised radiofrequency and HIFES energy to the treatment zones. The radiofrequency heats the tissue to stimulate collagen and elastin production, while the HIFES component selectively activates facial muscles to improve tone and density. A standard course is four sessions over 2–4 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 20 minutes.
