What is HIFES?

Also known as: High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation

HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) is the muscle-toning energy in EMFACE that contracts facial lifting muscles to firm and lift the face without needles.

HIFES stands for High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation. It is a gentler, facial-specific cousin of HIFEM, designed to safely engage the delicate muscles that lift the face, particularly around the cheeks and brow. By selectively contracting these elevator muscles, HIFES helps them become stronger and better toned over a series of treatments.

HIFES is one half of the EMFACE treatment. It is combined with synchronized radiofrequency that works on the skin and underlying tissue, so the muscle lift and the skin smoothing happen together. The result is a more lifted, refreshed appearance achieved entirely through energy rather than injections.
