Beyond the Lift: Understanding Cutaneous Remodeling with EMFACE

At Phelts Chiropractic PC, we know that true facial rejuvenation requires more than just "tightening" the skin—it requires fundamentally changing its structure. This process is called cutaneous remodeling (or skin reorganization). By combining the advanced technology of EMFACE with the balancing techniques of Applied Kinesiology, we offer a comprehensive "Reset and Build" approach to skin health.

The "Reset": Preparing the Canvas with Applied Kinesiology

Before we can reorganize the skin, we must ensure it is draping over a healthy muscular foundation. Stress, posture, and habit often lock facial muscles into a "frowny" or "droopy" resting tone. If we treat the skin while the muscles are tense and dragged down, we are fighting against the body's own mechanics.

Dr. John W Phelts DC uses Applied Kinesiology to identify these stress patterns and "reset" the facial muscles to a neutral, lifted, and stress-free state. This ensures that when EMFACE begins the work of remodeling, it is organizing your skin over a balanced, healthy structure.

The "Build": The Science of Cutaneous Remodeling

Cutaneous remodeling is the biological process of repairing and reorganizing the Extracellular Matrix (ECM)—the meshwork of proteins that gives skin its strength. EMFACE achieves this through Synchronized Radiofrequency (RF), which delivers thermal energy deep into the dermis.

1. Clearing the Old Structure

The first step of remodeling involves the breakdown of old, disorganized collagen fibers that have become brittle due to aging. The controlled heat from EMFACE initiates a natural healing response to clear this damaged tissue.

2. Reorganization and Synthesis

Once the old fibers are cleared, fibroblasts are activated to produce new structural proteins. This isn't just about adding volume; it is about reorganization. The new collagen fibers are laid down in a more organized, parallel fashion, which restores the skin's mechanical strength.

Scientific analysis of this "simultaneous emission" technology has confirmed its ability to dramatically improve the skin's architecture:

  • Elastin Increase: Elastin is the protein responsible for "snap back" and is notoriously hard to rebuild. Studies have shown an average increase in elastin levels of 110%.
  • Collagen Density: The treatment increases collagen density by approximately 26%, thickening the dermis and smoothing wrinkles.
