EMFACE
Needle-free lift for the face.
Facial treatments
Lift, tighten, and contour the face without a facelift. From needle-free EMFACE to ultrasound, radiofrequency, threads, and the EasyLift developed here, our Montgomery Road office covers every rung of the ladder between skincare and surgery.
Every rung between cream and surgery.
Sagging happens in layers: muscle tone fades, collagen thins, skin loosens, and volume shifts. Each treatment here works a different layer. EMFACE tones the muscles beneath the skin, Ultherapy and Thermage rebuild collagen with ultrasound and radiofrequency, threads give physical lift, FaceTite contours from just under the surface, and EasyLift is our own customizable facelift procedure.
The right choice depends on your skin, your degree of laxity, and your appetite for downtime, which is exactly what a consultation settles.

What a lifting plan looks like
An honest look at the layers
Your provider assesses where the looseness actually lives: muscle, collagen, skin, or volume. We treat the face in front of us, not the treatment that is trending, and will tell you plainly if surgery would serve you better.
Matching depth to device
Mild early laxity may only need EMFACE or SkinTyte. Deeper laxity responds to Ultherapy, Thermage, or a thread lift, and more advanced sagging to FaceTite or EasyLift. Many plans combine a muscle treatment with a collagen treatment.
The treatment itself
Most options here are single visits or short series with little to no downtime. FaceTite, the minimally invasive contouring procedure, is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days while full healing takes a couple of weeks. EasyLift is our own customizable facelift procedure, and its approach and recovery are planned at consultation.
Results that build
Collagen remodeling takes time, so lifting results typically develop over two to three months and continue improving from there. Follow-up visits track the change, and maintenance is planned only where it genuinely helps.
Frequently asked questions
Can I really get a lift without surgery?
Yes, within honest limits. Treatments like EMFACE, Ultherapy, Thermage, and thread lifts produce visible lifting and tightening without incisions, and FaceTite goes further using only local anesthesia. EasyLift, our own customizable facelift procedure, goes further still. None of the non-surgical options replicates a full surgical facelift, and we will tell you plainly which category your face falls into.
How do I choose between EMFACE, Ultherapy, and Thermage?
They work on different layers. EMFACE tones the lifting muscles themselves with no needles, Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to rebuild collagen at the deep foundation layer, and Thermage tightens with radiofrequency across the skin. The consultation exam, not the brochure, determines which layer your face needs.
How long do non-surgical lifting results last?
It varies by treatment. Collagen-stimulating treatments like Ultherapy and Thermage commonly hold for a year or more, thread lifts last around one to two years as the threads dissolve, and EMFACE results are maintained with periodic sessions. Aging continues either way, so maintenance is part of the honest picture.
Is there downtime with facial tightening treatments?
Most of this category has little to none: EMFACE, Ultherapy, Thermage, SkinTyte, and ThermiSmooth let you return to your day immediately, sometimes with temporary redness or swelling. FaceTite, AccuTite, and thread lifts involve short recoveries measured in days. EasyLift is a surgical procedure, and its recovery is reviewed at consultation.
What is EasyLift?
EasyLift is our own customizable facelift procedure. It is designed for patients who want more correction than devices alone can give, and the approach and recovery are planned at consultation.
What do facial lifting treatments cost?
Pricing depends on the treatment and the areas addressed, so every plan is quoted individually at consultation before anything is booked. CareCredit financing is available.
