You say you would do the EM face treatments were you in your 40s. I am in my early 70s and I suppose it is too late for that now?

Hi, I think it is rarely ‘too late’ to try any of these tweakments – what you need to keep in mind is that the older we get, the less response there is in our skin and muscles to the treatments that are designed to stimulate them. So what you need to ask your practitioner before you start, is whether they think, after assessing your face, that the treatment will make a difference.

Often, we need more treatment in order to show a result as we get older (I need three rounds of Profhilo in my neck, for example, before I can really see the results, whereas someone 20 years younger should get a decent result from two treatments).

I have seen a nice toning and softening in my face after four sessions of EMface – how long this will last I don’t know. In an ideal world, I’d go on having one of these treatments every month – but at current prices that would be an expensive habit to develop.
