Had my Emface follow up today

It’s good news. The left side of my face is much more even with the right side now, and I can feel the left side of my mouth now. Before the 4 Emface sessions, it was almost completely numb. I must say that I recommend Emface treatment for any stroke patient who still has a droopy side of their face. As you know, on August 24th of this year, it’ll be exactly 10 years since my stroke happened . The fact that I’m seeing improvements that far along due to Emface is kinda wonderful. I’ve booked another session for next month, a few days before my 60th birthday, and will be doing 2 sessions per year for maintenance purposes. It was strikingly noticeable in the before and after pictures that they took of me. I really wish that Emface was around just after I had the stroke because it might have corrected the situation entirely by now, but such is life. Of course, I have to say that your results may not be as good as mine were, but they might be better too. My before picture was taken 3 years ago, and my after picture was taken today, 3 months after the 4th session of Emface. Unfortunately, I don’t have the pictures they took,so I can’t share them here, but I’m very happy with the results nonetheless.

So if you’ve been considering getting Emface treatment yourself and have had a situation that caused one side of your face to sag,especially if it’s Bell’s Palsy, which is an issue that Emface has been proven to correct, then I say absolutely do it. It’s painless and only takes 20 minutes per session. I’m going to try to get a couple of before and after pictures for you here soon.

Just had my second session today

It’s bothered me since I had my stroke a decade ago, and I’m finally treating the cause. I’ve had mild facial paralysis on the left side of my face, and the left side sits a little lower than the right.

Last month, a place in my city on Vancouver Island finally got an Emface machine. It’s the first one on the island and I’ve been waiting for it for the past few years.

Emface treats your facial muscles. As a matter of fact, it’s been used for Bell’s Palsy patients with great results for several years now, and I was very encouraged by this fact. Because my facial paralysis is mild, I’ve been hoping that this machine will work for me.

Here’s a short video of how it worked on a Bell’s Palsy patient who had been suffering for 2 years with a far more lopsided face than what I have.

While I understand that facial paralysis from a stroke and facial paralysis from Bell’s Palsy are very different things, immediately after my second session, my smile is already more even,and my left eye is closer to the right eye as far as where it’s sitting on my face.  Once I’ve had my fourth and final session, I will post my results here. It should be noted that you can set the machine at different strengths on either side of your face. I’m getting 100% on my left side and 50%  on my right

It’s a very comfortable treatment that feels like a warm massage, and I feel muscles moving that haven’t moved in almost ten years. I’m not using it to look younger but to look more symmetrical. Because it’s not fun being lopsided.
