Under-Eye Bags / Dark Circles → Emface + Exion Face

Problem: Under-eye bags, dark circles, tired eyes, poor perfusion. Solution: FDA-Cleared Emface Under-Eye Treatment + Exion RF + Targeted Ultrasound

Problem: Under-Eye Bags / Dark Circles

Those deep under-eye hollows, dark circles, and puffiness aren’t just signs of “being tired.” They’re a structural shift: eyelid skin thinning, muscle support weakening, fat pad protrusion, lymphatic drainage slowing.

The result?

You look older, worn out, and less confident, even when you’re feeling just fine.

When topical creams, concealers, and fillers feel like temporary fixes—not true solutions—it’s time for something designed for the root cause.

Solution: Emface + Exion

We use Emface Eyes — the under-eye specific applicator of the medical-grade Emface device — paired with Exion Face RF + Targeted Ultrasound for comprehensive under-eye rejuvenation.

Emface Eyes is FDA-cleared for treating the under-eye area (dark circles, hollows, puffiness, fine lines) by combining Radiofrequency (RF) to stimulate collagen + elastin, plus High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES™) to strengthen the orbicularis oculi muscle under the eye.

Exion adds RF energy + Targeted Ultrasound to boost HA production by 224% for more natural, youthful volume to look alert and vibrant. By also increasing collagen & elastin production, we refine skin texture, smooth fine lines, and increase connective tissue support around the eye-area.

Together, they restore support, tighten skin, reduce bags, and brighten the under-eye region—without surgery, fillers, or downtime.

How Emface + Exion Works

  • Targeted Under-Eye Muscle & Skin Stimulation: Emface Eyes uses specialized pads placed under and around the eyes that deliver synchronized RF heat + HIFES contractions to the muscles and skin of the lower eyelid area.
  • Collagen & Elastin Re-Generation: RF energy heats the dermal layers to stimulate fibroblasts, increasing collagen and elastin — improving firmness, reducing crepiness, and lifting hollows.
  • Muscle Toning & Structural Support: HIFES™ activates the orbicularis oculi muscle beneath the eye, improving tone so fat pad protrusion is less obvious and bags become softer.
  • Skin Refinement via Exion Face: RF + Targeted Ultrasound adds increased production of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), collagen & elastin for firmer, more youthful skin around the under-eye.
  • Together Emface + Exion treat the root cause of eye-aging and provide a structure to skin, no needles, no downtime solution.

Most patients see noticeable improvement after just four sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients complete 4-6 weekly 20-minute sessions of Emface Eyes, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months. Exion Face (RF + Targeted Ultrasound) treatment is a bit more customized and usually takes about 10 minutes per eye + surrounding area. Most patients opt to treat the entire face and neck with Exion, for a more symmetrical, overall younger appearance. It should be noted that the more fibroblast stimulation we can achieve, the better the overall result. And the longer it lasts! Fibroblasts are the cells that produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. These guys get a little lazy as we age. Exion wakes them back up again, getting that production up like it was 10-15 years ago.

For Emface, No. You’ll feel a warm, light pulsing or tapping sensation—similar to a “warm stone massage.” No injections, no recovery, no social downtime. You don’t even need numbing!

Exion is a different technology (RF + Targeted Ultrasound), which is the next generation of skin tightening, anti-aging technology after Ultherapy (which is ultrasound only, no RF). We won’t lie, it’s spicy. If we can maintain a dermal temperature of 42 degrees Celsius, we don’t need as many treatments. We numb you, of course. But everyone’s tolerance is individual to them. Just keep in mind, lower temp = more treatments for optimal results.

As for downtime, you’ll feel like you have a mild sunburn for a few hours to a couple days. The interesting thing is you won’t look sunburned, just feel it since the layers we’re heating are well below what you see (dermis vs epidermis). You may look a little pink for a few hours after treatment, but it fades quickly.

For many patients yes — particularly when loss of muscle tone and skin laxity, rather than deep volume loss, are the main issues. Fillers or surgery may still be recommended if there’s extreme volume depletion. But most patients find that fillers aren’t a permanent solution and prefer the more natural look and feel of optimizing their own tissue rather than having a foreign substance injected that can migrate. It should be said that most patients just don’t like needles and are seeking a non-invasive solution.

Many experience visible improvement after the first session. Full results appear over 8–12 weeks as collagen & elastin builds and muscle tone improves, and continue to improve over the 3-6 months. Results typically last years with routine maintenance.
