Take pictures with complete confidence. Look in the mirror and react with a smile. Be able to say, ‘Every side is my good side!’
These things sound like a dream come true, right? But what if we told you that you can have all of this and more with facial contouring in St. Augustine?
At Crescent Beach Care, we offer treatments that can truly change how you view yourself and your body! You can see a lift in your spirits (among other things), notice a spike in your confidence, and feel better taking on what life throws your way. Facial contouring is just one of the great treatments we provide.
What Are Body & Facial Contouring Treatments?
Body sculpting procedures can either use just one or merge these two technologies: high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy and radiofrequency (RF) energy. By targeting both fat reduction and muscle enhancement, this groundbreaking approach offers a dual-action solution for sculpting the body.
HIFEM energy stimulates muscle contractions that are significantly stronger than those achieved through voluntary exercise. By effectively inducing contractions, these exercises contribute to the growth and strengthening of muscle fibers. One contouring session can induce thousands of these contractions, simulating a rigorous workout without any physical exertion.
By applying RF energy, we are able to generate controlled heat in the specific fat cells that are being targeted. This increase in temperature prompts apoptosis, resulting in the death of these cells. The body naturally gets rid of these dead fat cells over time, leading to a decrease in fat in the treated area. By combining RF and HIFEM, it becomes possible to achieve both fat reduction and muscle building in a single session.
All About Emface
Why It Works
Emface uses RF energy to stimulate muscles and tighten skin. The low-risk energies used in this treatment are highly effective, resulting in a rejuvenated, natural appearance.
By applying heat to targeted skin cells, RF energy stimulates collagen and elastin production within your body. These proteins are responsible for healing and tightening your skin, but they diminish with age. Emface supports the restoration of these important proteins to higher levels, enhancing your skin’s structure and suppleness.
In addition to radiofrequency, Emface also uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate your facial muscles, resulting in micro-contractions that enhance facial volume and provide a natural lift.

Benefits
Since Emface is noninvasive, this means you shouldn’t need downtime after your treatment. You can go back to your regular activities right after your facial contouring in St. Augustine. Results should start showing after your initial session, and your skin will progressively improve with fewer wrinkles and a younger appearance after each subsequent treatment.
You will notice a significant decrease in your wrinkles and fine lines when you do Emface! You’ll be amazed at the results of this noninvasive, needle-free treatment.
What to Expect
Your treatment plan will include a series of sessions to maximize the benefits of Emface. During each session, you’ll relax in our treatment room while we place the Emface device over your target area. You may feel a tingling sensation as your muscles contract during your session, but you shouldn’t feel any notable pain from treatment.
The Down Low on EmSculpt NEO
Why It Works
During an EmSculpt NEO treatment, RF energy is seamlessly sent through your body, causing your muscles to heat up, similar to a warm-up activity before working out. This heating damages subcutaneous fat cells and causes them to die off. Then HIFEM stimulates your muscles, causing them to contract repeatedly. These contractions work out your muscles much quicker than can be achieved through natural exercise.
Because it uses both HIFEM and RF technologies, it gives a comprehensive approach to body contouring, delivering enhanced muscle definition and fat reduction for a more sculpted physique.

The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and suitable for various body areas, including the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and thighs.
Benefits
You can get back to your normal routine right after the treatment, without any need for downtime or recovery. After your session, you may experience some slight soreness, but rest assured, you can continue with your regular activities right away. You will start noticing results after just one session, and they will continue to improve for a few months after your final treatment.
Emsculpt NEO permanently removes existing fat cells and builds muscle, but new fat cells will still form, just like with normal exercise. You can maintain your look after Emsculpt NEO indefinitely by developing a healthy routine in both diet and exercise.
What to Expect
Your Emsculpt NEO treatment will take place over 4 sessions at our practice. You will be guided to our treatment room for each session, where we have created a serene environment for your relaxation, providing you with the opportunity to lie down and feel at ease. Once we have connected the Emsculpt NEO device to the specific area of your body that requires treatment, we will then proceed with the session. You can look forward to a peaceful and calming experience during your 30-minute session.

FAQ’s on Facial Contouring in St. Augustine
How does Emface compare to other services for wrinkle removal, like Botox?
Our preference is to provide Emface as an alternative to Botox due to its natural and noninvasive qualities. Botox is a wrinkle relaxer that relaxes your facial muscles to stop wrinkles, whereas Emface promotes the natural healing properties of your own body to fight wrinkles. Botox does not have the same effect as Emface, which builds volume in your facial muscles to tighten your skin.
Overall, we use Emface because of its comprehensive approach to wrinkle relief. Emface enhances your youthful appearance without injections or fillers, working from within.
Will it hurt?
No! While receiving your sculpting treatment, you’ll experience a warmth in your muscles, similar to a vigorous workout. There is a chance that you may feel a slight soreness or observe some redness in the treated area following the treatment, but it is expected to dissipate within a few hours.
Is it safe?
Rest assured that all the devices and tools we employ for body contouring have undergone extensive clinical trials and have been approved by the FDA for this purpose. SO, the treatment is noninvasive and very low risk. In addition, our team will consistently monitor your progress and provide the highest level of care throughout your treatment.
How should I prepare for my treatment?
There’s no extensive preparation required for facial contouring in St. Augustine. However, to reduce any potential discomfort or side effects following your session, it’s advisable to ensure you’re well-rested and properly hydrated prior to your appointment.
