When it comes to facial aging, the changes we observe in the mirror are rarely caused by just one factor. Aging is a multi-dimensional process that takes place across several layers of anatomy. It begins deep within the structural muscles that support the face, moves outward through the subcutaneous tissues, and finally manifests on the surface of the skin as wrinkles, laxity, and a loss of radiance. Because aging is a multi-layered issue, achieving true, natural-looking facial rejuvenation requires a multi-layered solution.

At Phelts Chiropractic PC, located in the heart of Manhattan, Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. specializes in structural health and advanced non-invasive aesthetics. To address the complete facial matrix, our practice offers the ultimate synergistic treatment combination: the 360 Face Lift. By pairing two of the most advanced facial technologies available today— EMFACE and EXION FACE—we can treat both the structural muscle foundation and the delicate skin envelope simultaneously, delivering comprehensive, long-lasting rejuvenation entirely without needles or surgery.

The First Dimension: EMFACE for Deep Structural Lifting

To understand why the 360 Face Lift is so effective, we must first look at the foundation of the face. Just like a house relies on its frame, your facial skin relies on an intricate network of "elevator" muscles to stay lifted against the constant, downward pull of gravity. As we age, these elevator muscles naturally lose tone and mass, causing the brows to drop, the cheeks to flatten, the eyes to bag, and the jawline to sag.

EMFACE addresses this structural decline by becoming the first and only non-invasive procedure to simultaneously treat facial skin and muscles. It achieves this through a patented combination of two powerful energies delivered via specialized treatment applicators:

• HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation): This technology utilizes electrical fields to induce thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions during a single 20-minute session. These intense contractions selectively target and condition the delicate elevator muscles—such as the zygomaticus major and minor and the frontalis—restoring their tone and lifting the facial architecture from within.
• Submental and Periorbital Care: The precision of HIFES allows for highly targeted treatments. It effectively tightens and tones the submental area under the chin, sharpening the mandibular line. Furthermore, it conditions the delicate muscles around the eyes (periorbital region), which actively enhances localized lymphatic drainage to significantly reduce the appearance of puffy eye bags.
• Synchronized Radiofrequency (RF): While the muscles are being structurally toned, synchronized RF energy gently heats the dermis. This thermal energy stimulates fibroblasts to trigger a massive increase in the production of collagen and elastin fibers. This process increases the density of the skin's structural network, smoothing out wrinkles and firming the tissue.

The Second Dimension: EXION FACE for Absolute Skin Health

While EMFACE rebuilds the muscular scaffolding of the face, the 360 Face Lift requires a second phase to fully restore the skin's youthful vitality and volume. This is where EXION FACE excels. While EMFACE focuses heavily on muscle toning and skin tightening via RF, EXION FACE is a revolutionary breakthrough specifically engineered to optimize the skin's biological hydration and texture.

EXION FACE utilizes a patented, state-of-the-art combination of Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) and Targeted Ultrasound. While traditional RF treatments rely solely on heat to contract collagen, the integration of targeted ultrasound in the EXION system introduces micro-mechanical stress to the cells in the deep reticular dermis. This mechanical stimulation triggers an unparalleled cellular response:

• Hyaluronic Acid Surge: EXION FACE is the first non-invasive device clinically proven to naturally increase the body's own hyaluronic acid production by up to 224% without the use of needle injections. Hyaluronic acid is the body's natural moisture magnet, responsible for keeping the skin plump, dewy, and deeply hydrated.
• Collagen Boost: The treatment stimulates a 47% increase in collagen production, helping to rebuild the skin's support matrix and minimize existing fine lines.
• Elastin Enhancement: Skin elasticity is improved with a 50% increase in elastin fibers, giving the skin back its youthful "snap-back" resilience.

The Power of the 360 Synergy

Why do we recommend combining EMFACE and EXION FACE into a single, comprehensive protocol? The answer lies in their perfect anatomical synergy. Think of your face as a pillow: EMFACE restores the volume and firmness of the structural foam inside the pillow, while EXION FACE perfectly rejuvenates, plumps, and smooths the outer pillowcase.

By undergoing both treatments, patients receive a true 360-degree rejuvenation. EMFACE lifts the brows, redefines the cheeks, tightens the under-chin area, and drains stagnant fluid from under the eyes. Immediately following or alternating with that structural work, EXION FACE floods the skin with natural hyaluronic acid, bathing the newly lifted tissues in rich, deep hydration and smoothing out any remaining surface wrinkles. Because both devices trigger natural cellular regeneration, the results develop gradually and look entirely natural, beautifully enhancing your unique facial anatomy.

The Manhattan Advantage: Zero Downtime, Fast Results

For active New Yorkers, taking weeks off to recover from a surgical facelift or managing the swelling and potential bruising of multiple injectable procedures is often unfeasible. The 360 Face Lift offers a sophisticated alternative tailored to a busy lifestyle. Both EMFACE and EXION FACE are completely non-invasive, require absolutely zero downtime, and can easily be completed during a lunch break at our midtown office.

Most treatment protocols consist of a short series of sessions spaced a week apart. Patients frequently describe the sensations as pleasant—EMFACE feels like a warm, pulsing facial massage, while EXION FACE feels like a soothing hot stone treatment. You can step directly out of our practice and immediately return to your daily schedule with nothing more than a healthy, radiant glow.

If you are ready to combat facial sagging, wrinkles, and volume loss from every angle, discover the power of the 360 Face Lift. Contact Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. at Phelts Chiropractic PC today to schedule your comprehensive facial analysis and experience the future of non-surgical rejuvenation.
