EmbraceRF: How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Underlying facial fat and loose skin in the neck, face, and jawline areas are common aesthetic concerns that accompany aging. EmbraceRF in NYC is a breakthrough facial rejuvenation procedure that addresses these concerns without surgical intervention. It targets excess fat and skin laxity in the lower third of the face, specifically the neck and jowls. This innovative aesthetic technology by InMode was invented by NYC plastic surgeons who are experts in radiofrequency-assisted cosmetic procedures. This minimally-invasive scarless facial contouring procedure provides a long-lasting solution for facial aging. As in the case of most aesthetic treatments, one question that patients ask their plastic surgeon at the consultation is: “how many treatments do I need to get optimal results?”

Generally, optimal results are visible immediately with one treatment and improve over a period of 6 weeks to 6 months. However, the number of treatments you will require depends on your personal goals and needs, as well as the size of the area(s) treated.

How does EmbraceRF Work?

EmbraceRF in NYC introduces the novel concept of subdermal adipose remodeling of the face and morphs aging facial features into a more youthful appearance. It combines two proprietary InMode technologies: radiofrequency-assisted FaceTite and Morpheus8, a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD). Morpheus 8 generates heat to remodel facial fat and tighten the skin effectively, consistently, and safely. FDA-cleared Morpheus8 is applied externally. It is the first and only device to mold the fat subdermally to address aging concerns in the lower face. This novel concept of facial rejuvenation allows for precise sculpting of the face and body by allowing the surgeon to balance the amount of fat removed, molded, and retained. Moreover, the core of the EmbraceRF procedure is that it uses heat to remodel and mold the fat in addition to the skin tightening for optimal results.

Who Should Consider This Treatment

EmbraceRF is an effective option for people with any of the following concerns:

• Wrinkles on the face and neck: As we age, the body’s capacity to make collagen decreases, leading to the development of wrinkles. EmbraceRF employs regulated radiofrequency energy to heat subcutaneous tissue, stimulating the formation of collagen in the process. The freshly formed collagen then goes to do what it does best, which is restore and revitalize tissue. This results in smoother, younger-looking skin by minimizing or eliminating wrinkles.
• Fat pockets around the neck and face: EmbraceRF can help eliminate stubborn fat pockets in the face and neck region. The procedure can reduce fat in areas like the chin, jawline, and nasolabial folds by contracting and contouring fat in addition to tightening loose skin.
• Skin sagging from mild to moderate: EmbraceRF can tighten loose skin in the face and neck, whether it is from aging or surgery, however extremely loose skin is best treated with a facelift or neck lift. This procedure can make your skin firmer, stronger, and more elastic by reducing pockets of fat and improve the appearance of areas previously defined by unsightly, fatty lumps.

Performed in the office in about 45 minutes using local anesthesia or mild sedation, EmbraceRF has a downtime of about 48 hours or a long weekend. Patients can return home shortly after the treatment. The treatment provides results similar to a facelift, without incisions and scars. Though the procedure is minimally-invasive, some bruising, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area is to be expected. These side effects will subside quickly.

• Effective facial contouring
