We are thrilled to welcome our newest treatment, EmFace! Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology is one of the first offices in the country to offer EmFace to our patients. Our providers have been using injectable fillers for years to help volumize the face, however there was no solution for muscle loss. There aren’t many solutions to also simultaneously restore loss of collagen and elastic tissue in the skin. But now there is, thanks to the EmFace!

What is EmFace?

EmFace is the first and ONLY needle-free procedure that simultaneously treats facial skin and muscles in just 4 sessions. Starting at the age of 20, we loose collagen about 1% per year until age 30. After the age of 30, some of the underlying structures have loosened, resulting in sagging skin. Patients who can benefit most from EmFace are of the ages 30 and up, however, everybody can benefit from less wrinkles and more lift! Clinical Studies showed that the simultaneous energies of EmFace reduces the effects of the facial aging process.

37% Wrinkle Reduction
23% Lifting Effect
30% Increase in Muscle Tone

How does EmFace work?

EmFace is the first device on the market utilizing the simultaneous application of both the Synchronized RF and HIFES. Synchronized REF smooths skin by heating the dermis and increasing the levels of collagen and elastin fibers. While the HIFES technology restores & elevates support of facial tissues by selectively contracting muscles and increasing density & quality of muscle structure.

Treatment will consist of 4 – 20 minute sessions performed once a week, where you can relax while you let the device gently stimulate the facial muscles and thicken the skin. The results achieve what younger faces have – which is better / thicker muscles and thicker skin.

EmFace can help your skin in 3 ways

      Replenishing collagen
      Thickening and tightening the muscle for better lift
      Improving the overall appearance of your skin

EmFace can be used with fillers, neuromodulators, skincare and more to give you a more youthful, fresh appearance.

Summer is a time when many people want to look their best. With the hot weather and more time spent outdoors, it's a great time to take a closer look at your appearance and consider cosmetic procedures that can help you achieve the look you want. While cosmetic procedures are often associated with women, men can also benefit from these treatments. In this blog, we'll discuss some cosmetic procedures that men can have to look their best for summer. Emsculpt NEO This non-invasive body contouring treatment reduces fat and improves muscle tone. Using radiofrequency (RF) waves and high-intensity electromagnetic energy concurrently helps patients achieve a more sculpted and toned physique. This procedure can be performed on the abdomen, flanks, and other areas of the body. Emsculpt NEO is safe and effective for those who want to improve their body contour without plastic surgery or downtime. Laser Hair Removal Excessive hair can be a source of embarrassment for some men. Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to permanently reduce unwanted body hair. This treatment uses laser energy to target the hair follicles, preventing them from growing back. Laser hair removal is a long-term solution that can save men time and money in the long run, as they no longer need to spend time and money on shaving or waxing. These are just two of many cosmetic procedures that men can have to look their best for summer.

4 Best Ways to Protect Skin From Sun Damage

The sun’s rays can be incredibly damaging to your skin, even on cloudy days. Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause sunburns, premature aging, and skin cancer. Fortunately, there are many ways to protect your skin from sun damage. Here are some tips to keep your skin safe, healthy, and hydrated. 1. Wear Protective Clothing One of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your skin from sun exposure is to wear protective clothing. This includes long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats that provide shade for your face and neck. Clothing made from lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen helps you keep cool in the sun and prevents overheating. 2. Apply Sunscreen Sunscreen is a must for protecting your skin from UV radiation. Use a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of at least 30. Apply it generously to all exposed areas of skin for at least 15 minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours or more frequently if you are swimming or sweating. 3. Stay Hydrated Staying hydrated is important for maintaining healthy skin, especially during the summer months. Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin moisturized and hydrated, which can further protect your skin from sun damage. 4. Avoid Tanning Beds Tanning beds are not a safe alternative to natural sunlight. They expose your skin to high levels of UV radiation, increasing your risk of skin cancer and premature aging. Instead, use a self-tanning product. Following these tips will help protect skin from sun damage and keep it looking healthy for years to come. Remember, prevention is key when it comes to protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. To schedule a skin cancer screening, please contact Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology.
