Say Goodbye to Crow’s Feet: How EMFACE Lifts and Tightens Without Needles

Crow’s feet—those fine lines that fan out from the corners of your eyes—are often called "smile lines." While they represent a life full of expression, they are also one of the first signs of aging that many people want to address.

At Phelts Chiropractic PC, we specialize in non-invasive aesthetic solutions that work with your body’s natural physiology. Dr. John W. Phelts, DC, utilizes the revolutionary EMFACE technology to help patients in New York City achieve a refreshed, youthful look without the need for needles, toxins, or downtime. By utilizing a dual-action approach with specific forehead and eye applicators, EMFACE targets crow’s feet at their source.

How EMFACE Works: The Power of Two Technologies

EMFACE is a breakthrough in facial rejuvenation, combining two powerful technologies in a single 20-minute session:

• Synchronized RF (Radiofrequency): Heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, tightening the skin.
• HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation): Contracts facial muscles to increase muscle density and restore the "scaffolding" of the face.  It also resets the resting tone of facial muscles to a lifted resting appearance, instead of a drooping one.

The Strategy: A Two-Pronged Attack on Crow's Feet

To effectively eliminate crow's feet, we must look beyond the wrinkles themselves. Dr. Phelts uses a specific applicator strategy to address both the structure and the skin quality of the eye area.

1. The Forehead Applicator: The Brow Lift Effect

Many people don’t realize that crow’s feet are often worsened by "folding." As we age, the forehead muscles (frontalis) weaken, and the brow begins to descend. This heaviness pushes skin down toward the eyes, causing it to bunch and fold at the corners.

• The Solution: The forehead applicator uses HIFES technology to tone and strengthen the frontalis muscle.
• The Result: By strengthening this muscle, the brow is naturally lifted. This reduces the mechanical "folding" of the skin around the eyes, smoothing out crow’s feet from above.

2. The Eye Applicators: Precision Tightening

While the forehead applicator lifts from above, the EMFACE eye applicators focus on the delicate skin directly surrounding the periorbital area.

• The Solution: These specialized applicators deliver Synchronized RF energy deep into the skin layers.
• The Result: The heat triggers a healing response that builds new collagen. This firms and thickens the thin, crepey skin characteristic of crow's feet, resulting in a smoother, more youthful texture.
