Emface is a non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment developed by BTL Aesthetics that simultaneously targets facial skin and muscles. It combines two technologies—synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electrical stimulation (HIFES)—to deliver a lifting and sculpting effect without needles or surgery. The radiofrequency energy heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin firmness and reducing wrinkles. Meanwhile, HIFES gently contracts facial muscles to enhance muscle tone and facial contouring, creating a natural-looking lift. Emface is designed to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and revitalize facial appearance with minimal downtime.
EMFACE is a next-generation facial rejuvenation device that delivers two powerful therapies in a single treatment. It combines synchronized High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) muscle stimulation with Radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance facial appearance. This innovative dual approach helps lift and tone facial muscles while simultaneously improving skin texture and reducing wrinkles.
The patented EMFACE™ device combines fat reduction and muscle building by triggering supramaximal contractions—intense muscle activity induced by electromagnetic energy. Targeting the lower face, these contractions strengthen muscles and help burn nearby fat, mimicking the effects of high-intensity workouts.
As we age, our facial features undergo a variety of subtle and not-so-subtle transformations. Some changes are easily noticeable—like the loss of volume in the cheeks or the increased prominence of folds and lines. These shifts often happen as facial fat redistributes, muscles and bones become thinner, and the skin loses elasticity and firmness. One area particularly affected is the jawline, which can begin to soften or recede, altering the overall balance and appearance of the face. A well-defined jawline is often seen as a symbol of confidence and vitality.
For individuals looking to restore or enhance their facial contour, EMFACE™ offers a non-invasive solution that targets both muscle tone and unwanted fat. By lifting the submental region and tightening the skin, EMFACE™ helps redefine the lower face, offering a more sculpted, youthful appearance.
During your Emface session, the technician will place specially designed applicators on the targeted areas of your face. You’ll feel a combination of gentle muscle contractions and a warming sensation as the device works to tone facial muscles and stimulate collagen production. Each session lasts about 20 minutes, and there’s no downtime required—so you can walk out of the office and go about your day as usual.
EMFACE treatments have no downtime, meaning you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment. You can go back to work or home without needing to take time off for recovery. EMFACE is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that has received FDA clearance, ensuring its safety and effectiveness.
Since the procedure involves no needles, surgery, or anesthesia, the likelihood of complications is significantly minimized. While some individuals may notice slight redness or swelling immediately following the session, these effects are typically mild and resolve within a few hours.
Patients sometimes express concern about looking overdone or “frozen” following facial rejuvenation procedures that add volume or relax muscles. One of the key advantages of EMFACE® is its ability to deliver subtle, natural-looking results.
A single EMFACE® session can “kick things off,” but most patients achieve optimal results after a series of treatments. Maximum contouring benefits may require up to four sessions, with the ideal outcome becoming visible within three months after the final treatment.

Designed for maximum patient comfort
Non-invasive
scar-free results
EMFACE® is safe for all body types, BMIs, skin types, and skin tones.
There is no specific age at which to begin EMFACE® treatments; however, patients who are healthy, well-hydrated, and at a stable weight typically experience the best results.
Because the treatment uses radiofrequency energy, patients with pacemakers or metal implants should not undergo EMFACE®. Dr. Gamboa will discuss alternative facial rejuvenation options with you during your consultation to help determine the most suitable strategy for your needs.
