Submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, can be incredibly resistant to diet, exercise, and at-home treatments. Whether it’s due to age, genetics, or changes in skin elasticity, it often lingers no matter what you do. Fortunately, a non-invasive option is now designed to address this area without surgery, needles, or downtime.
At Lively Wellness and Aesthetics in Odessa, TX, we proudly offer EMFACE, the revolutionary non-invasive treatment that lifts, tones, and rejuvenates the face — now available with the Submentum applicator, specially designed to target and contour the area under the chin. If you’re bothered by a double chin or want a more defined jawline, EMFACE Submentum offers powerful, needle-free results without downtime.
What Is EMFACE?
EMFACE is the first and only non-invasive device that simultaneously targets facial skin and muscles to lift, tone, and smooth without needles or downtime. It uses a patented combination of synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) technology to heat the skin and contract facial muscles. The result is a natural-looking lift, improved skin texture, and reduced facial laxity and wrinkles.
Key Benefits of EMFACE
20-min. Procedure
EMFACE sessions are quick and convenient, typically lasting just 20 minutes from start to finish. It’s an ideal treatment to fit into your lunch break or a busy day—no extended downtime or prep required.
No Needles, No Bruising
EMFACE is completely needle-free, so there’s no risk of bruising, swelling, or puncture marks. You’ll enjoy visibly smoother, firmer skin without discomfort or recovery time associated with injectables.
Patient Comfort In Mind
From start to finish, EMFACE is designed with your comfort in mind. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, gentle pulse or tapping. No pain, no stress, just a relaxing experience.
Natural-Looking Results
EMFACE gradually enhances your facial features by stimulating your collagen and muscle tone. The results look refreshed and lifted, never frozen or overdone.
Simultaneously Targets Skin & Muscle
Unlike treatments that focus on one or the other, EMFACE treats the skin’s surface and the underlying muscles. This dual approach improves facial structure and tightens skin at the same time.
FDA-Cleared Technology
EMFACE is backed by clinical research and cleared by the FDA for safety and effectiveness. You can feel confident knowing it meets high medical standards.
Lifts and Tightens the Face Naturally
By strengthening facial muscles and stimulating collagen production, EMFACE provides a natural lift. You’ll notice firmer skin and improved facial contours. There’s no overfilled or artificial look.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone
The radiofrequency energy helps smooth fine lines and improves overall skin quality. Expect a more radiant, youthful glow with consistent treatments.
Boosts Collagen and Elastin Production
EMFACE kickstarts your skin’s natural regenerative process by boosting collagen and elastin. This means longer-lasting firmness, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction over time.
Visible Results with No Downtime
There’s no peeling, redness, or prolonged recovery period. You can leave your session looking refreshed, and results continue to improve in the following weeks.
EMFACE vs. Other Treatments
EMFACE vs. Injectables (Botox & Fillers)
Injectables like Botox and dermal fillers focus on muscle relaxation or adding volume, but they don’t treat the deeper facial structure or skin quality at the same time. EMFACE, on the other hand, tones facial muscles and stimulates collagen for a more natural lift, all without needles or synthetic substances.
EMFACE vs. Kybella
Kybella is an injectable that breaks down fat under the chin, but it often requires multiple sessions, can cause swelling, and involves some downtime. EMFACE Submentum reduces submental fullness while tightening the skin and toning the jawline muscles, offering a more comprehensive solution with no needles or downtime.
EMFACE vs. Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen in deeper layers of the skin, but the sensation can be uncomfortable, and results are slower to appear. EMFACE offers a comfortable, faster alternative by combining radiofrequency and HIFES™ technology for visible lift and skin rejuvenation, often with noticeable improvements after a few sessions.
EMFACE vs. Traditional Facelift
A surgical facelift involves significant recovery time, anesthesia, and a higher financial investment. EMFACE is completely non-invasive, making it ideal for those seeking subtle, natural results without the risks or downtime of surgery.
Now Featuring EMFACE Submentum: Double Chin Reduction Without Surgery
While EMFACE is known for lifting the cheeks, tightening the forehead, and improving overall facial contour, it now offers a specialized solution for the submental area (under the chin).
What Is EMFACE Submentum?
EMFACE Submentum is the only non-invasive solution to target every layer from muscle to skin to reduce your double chin. This specialized applicator is designed specifically for the submental area—the space beneath the chin that’s often difficult to treat with diet, exercise, or even traditional aesthetic procedures.
EMFACE Submentum addresses skin laxity, muscle tone, and fat reduction by reaching deep beneath the surface without needles, surgery, or downtime. It’s an ideal treatment for anyone looking to refine their jawline, reduce fullness, and achieve a more defined lower face in a short series of painless sessions.
How Does EMFACE Submentum Work?
EMFACE is the first procedure to apply a patented combination of Synchronized Radiofrequency and the HIFES™ muscle stimulation. Stimulation of submental tissues together with radiofrequency heating results in an overall aesthetic improvement of the submental area.
The synchronized radiofrequency (RF) gently heats the skin and deeper tissues to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which tightens and firms the area. At the same time, HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) activates the underlying muscles, enhancing tone and lifting the tissue from within. The dual-action technology creates a layered improvement, targeting fat, muscle, and skin to visibly reduce the double chin, improve jawline contour, and restore a more sculpted appearance with no recovery time needed.
What to Anticipate With EMFACE
Before Your Appointment
No special preparation is needed before your EMFACE Submentum treatment. We recommend arriving with clean skin and no makeup, lotions, or skincare products in the treatment area. Our team will review your goals during your consultation and walk you through what to expect based on your unique needs.
During the Treatment
You’ll recline comfortably in a treatment chair while the EMFACE Submentum applicator is gently positioned under your chin. The device simultaneously delivers synchronized radiofrequency to heat the skin and HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) to activate the underlying muscles.
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, firming vibration combined with light muscle pulses. There’s no pain, needles, or need for numbing cream—just a soothing, non-invasive experience from start to finish.
Immediately After the Treatment
There is no downtime after EMFACE. You can return to your routine immediately, including work, errands, or social plans. The skin under your chin may feel slightly warm or appear mildly red, but these effects are temporary and typically fade within a few hours.
The EMFACE Treatment Timeline
Week 1: Your First Session
Your EMFACE journey begins with a 20-minute session targeting your treatment areas. You’ll relax comfortably while the device stimulates your facial muscles and gently heats the skin.
Weeks 2–4: Continued Sessions
You’ll return once a week for a total of four treatments. Each session builds on the last, gradually strengthening the muscles and boosting collagen for lifting and tightening effects. Most patients find the treatments comfortable and easy to fit into their schedule.
Weeks 6–12: Visible Results Appear
Results become more noticeable as your body produces new collagen and your facial muscles become more defined. You may see a more sculpted jawline, smoother skin, and reduced submental fullness (if treated with the Submentum applicator) during this time.
After Week 12: Maintain Your Results
Your results can last several months, and many patients schedule maintenance sessions every six to 12 months. We will work with you to create a long-term plan that fits your lifestyle and aesthetic goals.
Frequently Asked Questions About EMFACE
When will you see results from EMFACE?
You may notice subtle skin texture and muscle tone improvements within a few weeks of your first EMFACE session. However, full results typically develop six to 12 weeks after your final treatment as your body builds collagen and strengthens the targeted facial muscles. This gradual transformation creates a more lifted, contoured appearance, particularly in the cheeks, forehead, and under the chin.
How many sessions will you need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with four EMFACE treatments, each spaced approximately one week apart. This schedule allows for steady stimulation and gradual remodeling of the facial tissues. Depending on your goals and the area being treated, such as the submental region, we may adjust the number of sessions or recommend maintenance treatments every six to 12 months to help sustain your results long-term.
Is EMFACE safe for all skin types and tones?
EMFACE is FDA-cleared and clinically proven safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types, from very fair to intensely pigmented skin. Unlike laser treatments that rely on light energy and can pose risks for hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation in darker skin tones, EMFACE uses synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES™ muscle stimulation, neither of which affects melanin levels in the skin.
Because of this, EMFACE is an excellent option for patients of all backgrounds seeking facial rejuvenation without the risk of discoloration or irritation. There’s also no need for skin-typing pre-assessments or downtime, making it a truly inclusive and low-risk procedure.
Can EMFACE be combined with other treatments?
EMFACE is often part of a larger custom aesthetic plan to maximize facial rejuvenation. It pairs exceptionally well with skin texture and surface tone treatments, such as microneedling, radiofrequency microneedling, hydrafacials, or chemical peels. While EMFACE strengthens the facial structure and stimulates collagen from within, these additional treatments address superficial skin concerns like fine lines, acne scars, or uneven pigmentation.
Some patients also combine EMFACE with injectables, such as dermal fillers or neuromodulators (like Botox), for a more layered and personalized result. During your consultation, we will assess your skin, facial anatomy, and goals to recommend a plan that safely integrates EMFACE with complementary services, all timed for optimal results and minimal disruption to your schedule.
Who is a good candidate for EMFACE?
EMFACE is well-suited for individuals who want to address facial aging, sagging, or fullness in the lower face without surgery. You may be a great candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate submental fullness (a double chin)
- Want to lift and tone facial features non-invasively
- Are looking to improve jawline definition without injections
- Prefer a treatment with no downtime or recovery
- Are generally in good health and have realistic expectations
If you’re unsure whether EMFACE is right for you, our team will conduct a full assessment and discuss a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
