Before & After
I have a long face with very little cheek volume, so I’m always looking for ways to make my
mid-face look shorter and more lifted.
What caught my attention about EMFACE was that, unlike many lifting treatments that only target the skin,
it also stimulates the facial muscles,
so the cheeks look visibly lifted upward,
creating that mid-face shortening effect I’d been wanting for ages.
I finally got the treatment done at a dermatology clinic near Cheongdam Station.
Every time I scrolled Instagram, I kept seeing EMFACE reviews,
and I thought, okay, I really need to try this one.
I was genuinely that curious.
And after looking into it, I realized that
the EMFACE price wasn’t outrageously expensive compared to other facial lifting treatments,
which definitely
helped me make the decision.
Before EMFACE & 10 Days After
As I’ve gotten older, the volume in my upper cheeks has gradually hollowed out,
so the area from under my eyes down to my lips
started looking especially long, and my overall firmness really dropped.
Every time I looked at my side profile, I felt like my face looked even longer and flatter, and it really bothered me.
At the same time, I didn’t want something artificial like filler,
because once the skin loses elasticity,
that kind of added volume can eventually sag too.
So I was looking for a more natural option
that could lift the drooping lines without affecting fat cells,
and that’s how I ended up learning about EMFACE, a facial lifting treatment designed to strengthen the support muscles in the face, and visiting a clinic near Cheongdam Station.
Since this is a muscle-stimulating facial lifting treatment,
I was excited by the idea that it could build support from within, improve firmness, and help with
that mid-face shortening effect at the same time.
Whenever I go into the middle of busy Gangnam for an appointment,
parking is always my biggest headache,
so I usually end up taking public transportation even when it’s inconvenient.
But the Cheongdam Station dermatology clinic I visited
had a surprisingly spacious dedicated parking area right in front,
and as soon as I arrived, they kindly helped with valet parking,
so I was impressed before I even walked inside.
Once I stepped in, the sleek white-and-purple interior
immediately stood out,
and while I was waiting, they served the clinic’s signature
welcome drink, which was actually delicious.
Everyone there, from the reception staff to the director,
was incredibly kind, which made the whole experience even better.
AI Skin Analysis & Consultation With the Doctor
Before getting into the actual EMFACE facial lifting consultation at the Cheongdam Station clinic,
they first
did a detailed AI skin analysis using the Eve V Muse imaging device.
Instead of just taking a quick look and guessing,
it measured my skin’s hydration, elasticity,
and even the areas where wrinkles are likely to develop in the future,
all laid out clearly in numbers and graphs.
Seeing my skin type and the real issues
presented as data made it so much easier to understand
exactly what my face needed most urgently.
The one-on-one consultation with the doctor that followed
was much more detailed than I expected.
After looking at my face shape, he explained that because I naturally have a long face
and not much cheek fat,
treatments that aggressively slim the jawline or use strong RF lasers
to destroy fat
could actually backfire on me.
The doctors at this Cheongdam Station clinic are officially certified key doctors for anti-aging treatments like Tune Face, Titanium Lifting,
Sculptra, V-OLET, and Restylane,
and maybe that’s why
the way they explained
facial anatomy together with the mechanics of expression muscles
felt especially trustworthy.
After the consultation, I was shown to a private one-person VIP room,
and it felt cozy, quiet, and completely separate.
Next to the bed, they had thoughtfully prepared
an amenity package for treatment clients,
with skincare samples and bottled water,
and even collagen jelly to eat,
which honestly made me feel so taken care of.
EMFACE Pain Level, Procedure, and Downtime
The EMFACE facial lifting treatment I got at the Cheongdam Station clinic
didn’t involve any numbing cream at all.
That alone tells you how minimal the pain is,
so even if you’re extremely sensitive to painful treatments,
this is a very manageable facial lifting option.
The doctor attached the dedicated applicator pads closely
to my forehead and both cheeks,
then carefully adjusted the intensity based on my tolerance.
With EMFACE,
high-intensity electromagnetic energy
and bipolar radiofrequency energy are delivered at the same time through the pads.
Rather than pain, it felt more like the muscles deep in my face were tingling
and moving on their own in little waves.
My expression muscles kept contracting and relaxing
over and over for 20 minutes, almost like an intense workout,
so the sensation was definitely unique.
I never thought I’d need
a forced facial workout,
and at first the stimulation felt a little unfamiliar
and slightly strange, but it didn’t hurt,
so I was able to just lie there comfortably.
I’ve tried other treatments with a somewhat similar mechanism before,
but with EMFACE,
the added RF energy made it feel warmer overall.
It was a more soothing warmth than I expected.
Since the doctor adjusts the energy and stimulation level
to fit each person,
I felt like I could go into it
without worrying too much.
Even right after the treatment, I had no bruising or swelling at all,
just the slightest bit of redness,
so it was easy to put makeup on right away
and go straight back to my normal day.
EMFACE Treatment Frequency & How Long It Lasts
EMFACE is usually done
as a package of about four sessions spaced one week apart,
and that’s when the synergy effect is supposed to be strongest.
Once that foundational support is built up,
the results can last for around a year.
I also have a bit of mild ptosis,
so I tend to use my forehead muscles to open my eyes wide,
which has always felt uncomfortable.
After the treatment, though, opening my eyes somehow felt
noticeably easier and less strained,
and I was really happy about that too.
EMFACE Results & Visible Changes
After EMFACE at the Cheongdam Station dermatology clinic,
the very first change I noticed was that from the front,
my mid-face, which used to look long and tired,
seemed more refined, and my complexion looked much more alive.
That was the first thing that stood out to me.
Before, the volume around the front cheekbones had hollowed out,
which made my side profile look flat and elongated.
Now, the sagging areas seem to have lifted and adhered upward,
giving my upper cheeks a more natural fullness,
so the vertical length of my face looks visually shorter
in a really subtle but noticeable way.
It doesn’t look like I artificially filled anything in.
Instead, it feels like the muscles inside my face gained support
through this facial lifting treatment
and are holding everything up more firmly,
which made it such a good fit for what I wanted: a cleaner line without worrying about hollow cheeks.
One week after my EMFACE treatment at the Cheongdam Station clinic,
I could clearly feel that both cheek lines
looked different, and even though opening my eyes wide used to create a lot of forehead wrinkles and discomfort,
smiling and making expressions started to feel easier too.
And the side profile line I check every single day
had changed in a way that was genuinely noticeable.
My smile also looked more natural after EMFACE,
so compared with standard RF lifting treatments that mainly
focus on collagen regeneration,
this felt different in a good way.
My front and side cheeks used to look pretty hollow,
but after the treatment, the cheek area looked more lifted,
and as the firmness improved, the volume looked better too.
It even made me think that later on,
if I ever wanted to, I’d only need a tiny bit of a volume skin booster or filler in very specific areas.
Since the EMFACE price isn’t insanely high,
and because it’s a pain-free facial lifting treatment, I honestly wondered at first
whether the results would really be worth it.
But after about two weeks had passed,
every time I looked in the mirror, I started feeling like the EMFACE price
was absolutely worth it.
Since the recommended EMFACE schedule
is about four sessions at one-week intervals,
the four-session package price at the Cheongdam Station clinic also looked pretty appealing.
If you have a long face like I do and want to lift the front and side cheeks
without creating hollow areas,
I’d definitely recommend EMFACE as a facial lifting treatment.
