Ellie Holden on March 27, 2024

Aesthetic device supplier 3D Aesthetics has released data from its latest clinical study on the 3D EMlift device. 

The device combines high intensity focused electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency, and is designed to improve skin elasticity and firmness. Some of the results from the study, which involved 30 patients, showed they felt their appearance looked younger (88%), skin was firmer and tighter (100%), noticed a visible lift (94%), felt more confident (82%), increase in muscle tone (82%) and noticed a reduction in wrinkles (94%). 

Dr Abs Settipalli recently collaborated with 3D Aesthetics on a clinical trial where he tested a new treatment and shared his thoughts. He notes, “So far, the results have shown exactly the opposite effect of toxin treatments – that is to say, an increase in skin elasticity and firmness was seen almost immediately, and the comparison of this treatment modality with toxin should make all patients question their future treatment choices.”
