WonderFace uses controlled radiofrequency energy and neuromuscular stimulation to deliver energy to both surface and subdermal tissues. This dual-modality system delivers synchronised energy through the skin’s surface, working on underlying soft tissue and facial structure in a controlled, non-invasive way. Each session typically lasts around 30 minutes and is adjusted according to individual assessment and energy tolerance.
About the Technologies
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
Sends controlled electrical impulses through surface electrodes, producing muscle contractions. This process supports facial tone and circulation by engaging superficial muscle groups involved in facial expression.
Bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy
Delivers heat to the deeper layers of the skin using controlled electrical current. The device maintains a consistent temperature to promote tissue remodelling and structural support in the dermis and subdermis.
How WonderFace Works
During treatment, the WonderFace applicators are positioned over key facial regions such as the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. These applicators deliver synchronised energy pulses that cause rhythmic muscle contractions while simultaneously applying controlled thermal energy to the deeper tissue.
This process:
-
May engage facial muscles through low-frequency stimulation.
-
May support circulation and oxygen delivery to superficial tissues.
-
Applies uniform heat to deeper layers, which research suggests may play a role in supporting tissue function.
The treatment parameters — such as pulse frequency, duration, and radiofrequency intensity — are individually adjusted based on each patient’s anatomy and clinical assessment.
What to Expect
WonderFace procedures are typically performed in-clinic and do not require anaesthetic or recovery time.
Most patients describe the sensation as warmth or light muscle contraction.
Most patients experience no downtime and can return to normal activities immediately, though individual responses vary.
A typical session includes:
-
Cleansing and preparation of the skin.
-
Placement of applicators to target specific facial zones.
-
Controlled delivery of synchronised RF and NMES energy.
-
Post-treatment assessment and aftercare review.
Potential Risks and Considerations
All energy-based procedures carry some risk of side effects. With WonderFace, these may include:
-
Temporary redness or mild swelling
-
Warmth or tenderness in treated areas
-
Rare localised discomfort from electrical stimulation
Side effects are typically short-lived and resolve within hours.
Dr Allison provides personalised aftercare advice to minimise any potential irritation or sensitivity.
Booking Your Consultation
Consultations with Dr Scott Allison focus on understanding your goals, reviewing medical suitability and creating a tailored care plan.
Appointments are available at his New Farm clinic in Brisbane.
All medical procedures carry inherent risks, which are discussed in detail before treatment. Potential side effects and aftercare will be outlined during your consultation and available to read on our Risks and Complications page to ensure you can make an informed decision.
