EmFace in Chicago and Oak Brook

Think of EmFace as a way to refresh your facial appearance – without needles or recovery time. It uses a blend of radiofrequency and gentle muscle stimulation to firm areas like your cheeks, jawline, and brow. Our patients say that it feels like a warm massage – and most tell us afterward that their skin looks subtly smoother and more lifted. At our Oak Brook med-spa, we design personalized EmFace programs to achieve results that align with your unique goals.

What is EmFace?

EmFace is performed as a quick, in-office treatment designed to work on two levels – skin and underlying muscle. Using synchronized radiofrequency, the device gently warms the deeper layers of the skin to encourage natural collagen and elastin production. At the same time, high-intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES) activates key facial muscles to help restore tone and support.

A full treatment plan usually includes four sessions spaced roughly one week apart. Each session lasts about twenty minutes, with no anesthesia, needles, or numbing cream required. Patients remain comfortable throughout, often describing a warm sensation with light, rhythmic muscle contractions. You will begin to notice soft improvements in lift and contour after the first few visits, with results continuing to refine over the weeks that follow.

Lift Without Limits. Safe, natural, needle-free — and designed just for you.

Is EmFace Right for Me?

EmFace can be a good option for adults who want to address early to moderate signs of facial aging. It appeals to those seeking subtle, natural changes that fit into a busy lifestyle and who value a treatment that works on both skin and muscle for a more complete result.

  • Adults in their 30s to 80s noticing mild sagging and softening of facial contours
  • Patients seeking non-surgical options who prefer to avoid needles or anesthesia
  • Busy professionals or active individuals who need minimal disruption to daily routines
  • Those with realistic expectations, who understand that EmFace refines rather than dramatically alters appearance
  • Individuals in good general health without certain skin or neurological conditions that may limit candidacy

Your EmFace Journey Explained

At The Geldner Center you begin with a one-on-one consultation. Our Staff will listen to your concerns, examine your facial structure, and explain how EmFace can be tailored to your goals.

On treatment day, you’ll be comfortably seated while small applicators are placed on targeted areas such as the forehead and cheeks, undereyes or submentum. The device delivers a gentle combination of heat and muscle stimulation for about twenty minutes. Most patients describe the feeling as warm with light, pulsing contractions.

After the session, you can immediately return to your day – no downtime required. If you’re completing the recommended four-treatment series, visits are typically scheduled once a week. Once your series is complete, you’ll return for a follow-up appointment to review your progress and discuss ongoing maintenance options if desired.

One of the reasons patients choose EmFace is the ease of returning to normal activities. There’s no required downtime, so you can head back to work, exercise, or your social plans immediately after your appointment.

Some patients may notice temporary warmth, redness, or mild muscle twitching in the treated areas, which typically fades within an hour. Dr. Geldner’s team will provide simple at-home care tips, such as keeping the skin clean and hydrated.

While some subtle changes may be visible within the first few weeks, the most noticeable improvements in lift, contour, and skin smoothness appear gradually over one to two months as collagen renewal and muscle toning continue. Periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve results over time.

Patients often begin to notice small changes – such as smoother skin texture or a slight lift in the cheeks, brow, under eye, or submentum area – within a few weeks of starting their EmFace series. These early refinements tend to become more pronounced over the following months as collagen levels increase and underlying muscles regain tone.

Results are designed to look natural and harmonious with your existing features, creating a refreshed appearance rather than an obvious change. With a full treatment series and recommended maintenance sessions, many patients enjoy the benefits for up to a year.

EmFace is generally well-tolerated, and most patients experience little more than temporary warmth, redness, or mild muscle twitching during and shortly after treatment. These effects typically fade within an hour.

While uncommon, there is a small possibility of temporary skin sensitivity or discomfort in the treated areas. Patients with certain medical conditions – such as implanted electronic devices or specific neurological disorders – may not be candidates for this procedure. Your consultation is the time to share your full medical history so the team can determine if EmFace is the right choice for you.
