Your face is more than just skin. Beneath the surface, facial muscles support your expression, facial contours, jaw movement, and the way your skin rests across the face. Over time, aging, muscle tension, jaw clenching, stress, weight loss, and changes in facial muscle tone can affect both how your face looks and how it functions.
Emface® combines synchronized radiofrequency with HIFES® facial muscle stimulation to treat the skin and the underlying facial muscles at the same time. The radiofrequency energy gently heats the dermis, stimulating fibroblasts—the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—to help support smoother, healthier-looking skin. At the same time, HIFES® technology delivers an intensive facial muscle workout to strengthen and tone the muscles that provide natural facial support.
Emface is also FDA-cleared for the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction and associated pain and can help relieve symptoms associated with TMJ dysfunction, including muscle spasms, while supporting muscle re-education, increased local blood flow, and improved jaw range of motion.
FDA-cleared for the treatment of TMJ dysfunction, Emface® helps relieve associated pain, reduce muscle spasms, support muscle re-education, and improve jaw range of motion.
Emface® helps relax overactive facial muscles while increasing local blood flow to support more comfortable jaw function.
The Submentum applicator targets the area beneath the chin to improve the appearance of lax tissue creating a smoother, more defined jawline.
Exomind supports better regulation of trauma-affected brain patterns, helping reduce hyperarousal, intrusive thoughts, and emotional reactivity.
The Eye applicators stimulate the muscles surrounding the eyes while treating the overlying skin to create a brighter, more refreshed appearance.
Emface® strengthens targeted forehead muscles to help create a naturally lifted, more rested appearance.
Emface® is a non-invasive facial treatment platform that combines synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES® facial muscle stimulation. It is cleared for several uses, including temporary reduction of facial wrinkles, facial muscle stimulation resulting in an induced muscle workout, treatment of lax tissue beneath the chin, and treatment of TMJ dysfunction and associated symptoms.
Many facial treatments focus primarily on the skin, surface texture, or facial volume. Emface addresses both the skin and underlying facial muscles during the same treatment. It does not require needles, fillers, toxins, incisions, or surgery.
No. Emface and injectable neuromodulators work differently.
Neuromodulators such as Botox® temporarily relax selected facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Because they reduce muscle activity, patients may also experience temporary changes in facial movement or expression. As with any injectable treatment, temporary side effects such as bruising, swelling, headache, eyelid drooping, or facial asymmetry can occur.
Emface takes a different approach. Rather than relaxing facial muscles, it uses synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES® technology to stimulate targeted facial muscles while supporting the skin’s natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.
One of the reasons many patients choose Emface is its favorable recovery profile. Treatments are completely non-invasive, require no needles or injections, and typically involve little to no downtime. Most patients experience only temporary redness or mild warmth that resolves quickly, allowing them to return to normal activities immediately.
For patients seeking a natural-looking facial refresh while maintaining normal facial movement and avoiding injectable-related side effects, Emface may be an excellent alternative.
Yes. Emface received FDA clearance for the treatment of TMJ dysfunction and associated pain, relief of symptoms associated with muscle spasm, muscle re-education, increased local blood flow, and maintenance or improvement of mandibular range of motion.
Yes. When these symptoms are related to TMJ dysfunction or overactive jaw muscles, Emface® may help improve jaw function, reduce muscle tension, relieve associated pain and muscle spasms, increase local blood flow, and improve jaw range of motion.
Because TMJ symptoms often have multiple contributing factors—including stress, posture, neck dysfunction, and joint mechanics—Dr. Josh begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Your personalized treatment plan may include Emface® to restore jaw muscle function, Emvital® laser therapy for pain relief and muscle relaxation, and chiropractic care to improve jaw and cervical spine mechanics.
If chronic stress or nighttime teeth grinding is contributing to your symptoms, Exomind® may also be recommended to help address the underlying neurological stress response while your functional treatment plan restores healthy jaw movement.
