What Is EMFACE Submental?

EMFACE Submental is a non-invasive treatment by BTL that uses synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) to target the submental area beneath the chin. The RF energy heats the deeper tissue layers to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production, while HIFES selectively contracts the platysma and submental muscles to restore tone and definition to the jawline.

At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every EMFACE Submental session is performed with meticulous attention to applicator placement and energy delivery. The treatment requires no needles, no incisions, and no anesthesia. Patients simply recline comfortably while the device works to strengthen muscles and tighten skin simultaneously over 20 relaxing minutes.

How EMFACE Submental Works

The EMFACE Submental treatment follows a precise, well-designed protocol:

  • Dr. Avaliani evaluates your submental area, assessing skin laxity, muscle tone, and jawline contour to design your treatment protocol
  • The EMFACE Submental applicator is positioned beneath the chin, delivering synchronized RF and HIFES energy to the targeted area
  • Radiofrequency energy heats the dermal layers to stimulate collagen remodeling and skin tightening from within
  • HIFES technology simultaneously contracts the platysma and submental muscles, restoring tone and lifting the jawline
  • Over a series of 4 sessions, the chin and jawline progressively sculpt into a tighter, more defined profile

Submental Concerns We Treat

  • Double Chin / Submental Fullness

    Excess fullness beneath the chin that obscures the jawline and creates a heavy, undefined profile. EMFACE Submental uses HIFES muscle stimulation and RF skin tightening to reduce submental volume and restore a sleeker contour without surgery or needles.

  • Jawline Definition Loss

    A soft, poorly defined jawline caused by skin laxity and weakened platysma muscles. EMFACE Submental strengthens the underlying musculature and tightens overlying skin to sharpen and sculpt the jaw-to-neck transition.

  • Platysma Band Laxity

    Visible vertical platysma bands along the neck and under the chin that become more prominent with age. HIFES technology selectively contracts and tones the platysma muscle, reducing band visibility and restoring a smooth neck-to-jaw profile.

  • Neck-to-Jaw Transition

    A blurred or undefined angle between the neck and jaw, often called the cervicomental angle. EMFACE Submental works on both the skin and muscle layers to create a sharper, more youthful neck-to-jaw transition.

  • Skin Laxity Under Chin

    Loose, crepey skin under the chin caused by collagen loss and aging. The radiofrequency component of EMFACE Submental stimulates new collagen and elastin production, progressively tightening the skin over the treatment course.

  • Post-Weight Loss Submental Changes

    Residual skin laxity and loss of chin definition that remains after significant weight loss. EMFACE Submental helps tone weakened muscles and tighten stretched skin for a more contoured result without surgical intervention.

Our EMFACE Submental Technologies

Does It Hurt?

Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)

EMFACE Submental is completely painless and requires no anesthesia or numbing. Patients feel a gentle warming sensation from the radiofrequency energy and rhythmic muscle contractions from the HIFES stimulation beneath the chin. There are no needles involved: the applicator sits comfortably against the skin throughout the 20-minute session.

There is absolutely zero downtime after EMFACE Submental. You can return to all normal activities, apply makeup, and go about your day immediately after treatment. Most patients describe the experience as relaxing. The treatment requires no preparation beforehand and no special aftercare: simply walk in, treat for 20 minutes, and walk out with progressive jawline improvement.

EMFACE® Submental frequently asked questions

  • What is EMFACE Submental?

    EMFACE Submental is a non-invasive treatment by BTL that targets the area beneath the chin and along the jawline. It uses synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) to tighten skin, strengthen the platysma and submental muscles, and define the jawline, all without needles, surgery, or downtime.

  • How does EMFACE Submental differ from regular EMFACE?

    Regular EMFACE targets the upper and mid-face areas including the forehead, cheeks, and brow. EMFACE Submental is specifically designed with a dedicated applicator for the submental region beneath the chin. Both use the same RF + HIFES technology but are optimized for their respective treatment zones. They can be combined for full-face sculpting.

  • How many sessions do I need?

    Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of 4 sessions, typically scheduled one to two weeks apart. Dr. Avaliani will design a personalized protocol based on your degree of submental fullness, skin laxity, and jawline goals. Some patients may benefit from maintenance sessions every few months.

  • Does EMFACE Submental hurt?

    EMFACE Submental is completely painless. Patients feel a gentle warming sensation from the radiofrequency energy and rhythmic muscle contractions from the HIFES stimulation. There are no needles and no anesthesia is required. Most patients find the treatment relaxing and comfortable.

  • Is there any downtime?

    There is absolutely zero downtime. You can return to all normal activities immediately after treatment, including applying makeup. There is no redness, swelling, or recovery period. Most patients schedule EMFACE Submental during a lunch break and return to work right away.

  • When will I see results?

    Some patients notice improvement after their first session, but the most significant results develop progressively over the treatment course and continue to improve for several weeks after the final session as collagen remodeling occurs. Full results are typically visible 2 to 3 months after completing the protocol.

  • Can EMFACE Submental replace injectable fat dissolvers or liposuction?

    EMFACE Submental is an excellent non-invasive alternative for patients who want to improve their jawline and reduce submental fullness without needles or surgery. It works differently from injectable fat dissolvers (which chemically destroy fat cells) and liposuction (which surgically removes fat). EMFACE Submental focuses on muscle toning and skin tightening. Dr. Avaliani will help determine the best approach during consultation.

  • Who is not a candidate for EMFACE Submental?

    EMFACE Submental is not recommended for patients with electronic implants such as pacemakers or defibrillators, metal implants in the treatment area, or those who are pregnant. Patients with significant excess fat under the chin may benefit from combining EMFACE Submental with other treatments. Dr. Avaliani will assess your candidacy during consultation.

  • Can I combine EMFACE Submental with other treatments?

    Yes. EMFACE Submental pairs exceptionally well with EMFACE for the face and EMFACE Eye for the periorbital area. Dr. Avaliani often creates comprehensive BTL facial sculpting protocols that address the entire face and neck in a single visit. It can also complement dermal fillers, neurotoxin treatments, and skin tightening procedures.

  • How long do EMFACE Submental results last?

    Results from EMFACE Submental can last several months to over a year, depending on individual factors like age, skin quality, and lifestyle. Maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months help preserve the muscle tone and skin tightening achieved during the initial protocol. Dr. Avaliani will recommend a personalized maintenance schedule.
