Michelle Addison’s EMFACE® Experience
Meet H&B patient and ambassador Michelle Addison
Michelle wears many hats; she’s a stylist at Holt Renfrew, a filmmaker, a writer, an actress, gala co-chair at the St. Peter Centre, and an ambassador for H&B. As a longtime patient, she trusts Dr. Humphrey with her 360° treatment plan—to keep her skin healthy and vibrant. As an actor, her skin is in the spotlight more than the average patient. As a longtime H&B patient, EMFACE felt like a natural fit for her personalized 360° treatment plan. Today, she’s agreed to share her treatment experience with us. First, let’s take a look at what benefits EMFACE offers and how it works.
Why EMFACE?®
On average, EMFACE patients see 37% less wrinkles, 23% more lift in the face, and 30% more muscle tone. Facial aging is a complex, three-dimensional process, and treatments like EMFACE address several root causes of aging at once. Age-related changes in one anatomical layer—skin, fat, muscle, or bone—cause a cascade of changes to adjacent layers. The way we naturally age is intricately connected to each aspect of our skin’s structure and health.
How does EMFACE® accelerate collagen production?
EMFACE uses High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) in combination with synchronized radiofrequency (RF) to trigger your body’s natural healing response and stimulate an increase in collagen and elastin production. In the months following treatment, this increase can improve the structure of facial muscles, tighten skin, and smooth skin texture. This uptick in collagen lifts the face and addresses concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, and loose and sagging skin. EMFACE is a cornerstone treatment for aging beautifully healthily, and in a way that preserves and celebrates your unique beauty.
EMFACE Q+A with Michelle Addison
Now that we’ve got the basics covered, let’s explore Michelle’s personal EMFACE journey and how this treatment impacted her skin health, beauty, and confidence.
Why were you interested in adding EMFACE® to your 360° treatment plan?
Honestly, when I saw the EMFACE results with the women at the clinic and how the clinic was literally buzzing with excitement, I knew I had to try it for myself. I saw immediate results and am loving the treatment so far.
My skin goals include maintaining skin elasticity and looking good without makeup (I work out a lot, and I want to feel confident without cover-up). I also want to feel my best when I am on camera – I don’t want to think about certain angles when I am trying to be present in my acting.
Tell us about your EMFACE treatment experience!
I like to schedule early morning treatments – I just roll out of bed and head down to the clinic! They instructed me not to wear any makeup or jewelry, and of course, I had a coffee in my hand before I could even ask for one.
I laid down on the treatment bed with a grounding pad attached to my back. They put a sticky pad on each of my cheeks and forehead.
Did your EMFACE treatment hurt?
When the EMFACE treatment started, it got slightly warm under the pads and then started to contract. It felt like body-pulse or the treatment you get at the physio for your muscles when you have a broken bone! It felt a bit weird at first (like little aliens in your cheeks), but then I relaxed and eased into it. It was not painful, but it definitely felt like your skin was tensing, stretching, and relaxing. The actual EMFACE treatment lasts about 20 minutes, and then they remove all of the tape etc., and you are ready for the day.
What results have you noticed from EMFACE treatment?
Now that I have had EMFACE treatment a few times, I really like my skin after the treatment – it feels super glowy. The very next day, I honestly looked more awake and hydrated. My eyes are more open, and my cheekbones more defined.
What do you think patients considering EMFACE treatment in Vancouver need to know?
EMFACE is such an easy add-on to any treatment! It’s quick, easy and effective. I probably would do it every time I came in if that was allowed! It’s like a workout for your face, and don’t we all love the results of a good workout?
