Non-Surgical Facelift
EmFace for
Heavy Eyelids
A needle-free brow lift that takes weight off tired, hooded upper lids, for eyes that look more open and rested.
Start With Your Eyes
Why Do My Eyelids Look Heavy?
Heavy upper lids are not all the same. The cause decides the right next step, so an eye exam comes first.
- Brow descent: the brow drops with age and pushes skin down onto the lid
- Dermatochalasis: extra, loose upper eyelid skin
- Ptosis: the eyelid muscle itself droops and lowers the lid
- Swelling or puffiness from allergies, thyroid or other conditions
Eyelid Evaluation
What Dr. Tabiza Checks
Lid and Brow Position
How high the lid sits over the pupil and how much the brow contributes to the heaviness.
Effect on Your Vision
Whether the lids block your upper field of view, which can call for a medical referral.
Eye Health
Signs of dry eye, swelling or other conditions that can make lids feel heavy.
Your Best Path
Brow-related heaviness may suit EmFace. Lid skin or muscle problems are referred to an eyelid specialist.
The Technology
How EmFace Lifts
HIFES Muscle Toning
High-intensity facial electrical stimulation contracts the muscles that support the brow and face, building tone for a natural lift.
Synchronized RF
Radiofrequency gently heats the skin at the same time, supporting collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer skin.
Forehead Applicator
The upper applicator sits on the forehead to target the brow area, the part of EmFace most linked to lifting heavy-looking lids.
What EmFace Can Do
Lift Without Surgery
A Lifted Brow
HIFES muscle stimulation tones the muscles that hold up the brow. A higher brow takes weight off the upper eyelid.
More Open-Looking Eyes
As the brow lifts, heavy, hooded upper lids can look lighter and more open, for a rested look.
Smoother Skin Around the Eyes
Synchronized radiofrequency warms the skin to support collagen and elastin, softening forehead lines and crow's feet.
No Needles
No injections, no incisions and no anesthesia. Applicators simply rest on the skin.
20-Minute Sessions
A standard plan is four 20-minute sessions, about one week apart.
Little Downtime
Temporary warmth, redness or muscle fatigue can happen. Most people return to their day right after.
The Process
What to Expect
During a session you feel gentle muscle contractions and warmth, similar to a firm facial massage. You lie back and relax while the applicators do the work.
Step 1
Eyelid Evaluation
Dr. Tabiza checks your lids, brow position and vision to confirm what is causing the heaviness.
Step 2
EmFace Consultation
If brow lift is the right fit, the Total Body Aesthetic team reviews your health history and goals.
Step 3
Four Sessions
Four 20-minute sessions, about one week apart. No needles and little downtime.
Step 4
Results Build
Lift and smoothing develop over the weeks after your series. Maintenance every few months keeps results.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
EmFace lifts the brow. When the brow sits higher, it takes weight off the upper eyelid, so mildly heavy or hooded lids can look more open. It does not tighten the eyelid muscle itself, so it is not a treatment for true eyelid ptosis.
Heavy lids have different causes. Brow descent may respond to EmFace, while extra lid skin or a drooping lid muscle may need a medical or surgical referral, especially if your lids block your vision. Dr. Tabiza can check your lid position and how it affects your vision, then point you to the right option.
EmFace combines two energies in one applicator. HIFES (high-intensity facial electrical stimulation) contracts and tones facial muscles, and synchronized radiofrequency warms the skin to support collagen and elastin. Together they lift and smooth without needles.
The standard plan is four 20-minute sessions, about one week apart. Results build over the following weeks, and maintenance sessions every few months help keep them.
EmFace is performed by the licensed medical team at Total Body Aesthetic, our sister med spa in the same building. Westchester Vision Care does not perform cosmetic procedures. Your eyelid evaluation with Dr. Tabiza is separate from your EmFace consultation.
Candidacy depends on your health history. EmFace is generally not used for people who are pregnant or who have a pacemaker, electronic implants or metal implants in the treatment area. The Total Body Aesthetic team reviews this at your consultation.
