EMS

How it works

EMS delivers electrical pulses at a carefully calibrated pulse width of 250 microseconds. This duration is optimised to recruit the maximum number of motor units in facial muscles without causing discomfort. Each pulse triggers a full contraction-relaxation cycle, forcing muscles to work against resistance. Unlike voluntary exercise, EMS activates muscle fibres that are difficult to engage consciously — particularly the deep muscles responsible for structural support in the midface and jawline. The pulse parameters are designed to avoid tetanic (sustained) contraction, keeping the stimulation comfortable and safe for daily use.

What happens in your muscles

Facial muscles are small, thin, and directly attached to skin — which is why their tone has such a visible effect on appearance. When EMS consistently activates these muscles, several adaptations occur: increased muscle fibre density, improved neuromuscular coordination, and enhanced blood flow to the treated area. Over 3–4 weeks of daily use, muscles that had atrophied or lost tone begin to firm and lift. The jawline becomes more defined, the cheeks gain volume through muscle fullness (not swelling), and the overall facial contour sharpens. Studies on facial EMS show measurable improvements in skin laxity scores and patient-reported satisfaction.

How to use it

• Apply conductive gel for comfortable current delivery
• Place the device on target areas: jawline, cheeks, forehead
• You'll feel gentle pulsing — muscles contracting and releasing
• Treat each zone for 2–3 minutes, 8–10 minutes total
• Use 5 times per week — muscles need recovery days just like body training
• Start at the lowest intensity; increase after 3–5 sessions
