What is EMFACE Double Chin (Submental)?
EMFACE Submental is a non-invasive treatment designed to target the submental area (commonly known as the double chin). Using a combination of synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES™ muscle stimulation, EMFACE works to reduce fat, tighten skin, and strengthen underlying muscles without needles, surgery, or downtime.
During treatment, specialized applicators are placed under the chin to deliver controlled energy that gently heats the tissue while stimulating muscle contractions. This process helps break down unwanted fat while toning the muscles and tightening the skin, creating a more defined and youthful jawline.
The treatment is comfortable, quick, and ideal for individuals who want to improve the appearance of a double chin or enhance facial contours without invasive procedures.
