EMFace for Double Chin: Our Favorite Non-Surgical Solution for Chin Fat

Step aside, Kybella. Move over, facelift—there’s a new non-surgical solution for double chins: EMFace! Developed by BTL Aesthetics, the creators of EMSculpt NEO, EMFace is an innovative facial rejuvenation treatment that not only lifts and sculpts facial contours but also effectively reduces a double chin with impressive speed.

This article will explore how the EMFace technology works, how the new Submentum applicator makes it possible to eliminate double chin, and why it is quickly becoming our new favorite choice for double chin reduction.

EMFace Explained: The Game-Changer in Non-Surgical Facial Contouring

EMFace is an innovative, non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment designed to lift, sculpt, and contour the face while addressing common concerns like double chins and sagging/loose skin. Developed by BTL Aesthetics, the creators of EMsculpt NEO, EMFace uses a unique combination of radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES™) technology. This dual-action approach targets both the skin and underlying facial muscles, promoting collagen production and muscle tone for a more youthful, sculpted appearance.

Unlike traditional treatments focusing solely on the skin, EMFace enhances facial structure by tightening and strengthening key muscles while reducing fat in areas like the submental region (under the chin). This makes it a highly effective and versatile option for patients seeking a non-surgical facial rejuvenation and contouring solution.

With no needles, downtime, or invasive procedures required, EMFace offers a comfortable and quick way to achieve noticeable, long-lasting results. Whether you’re looking to redefine your jawline, reduce a double chin, or refresh your overall look, EMFace provides a next-generation solution tailored to your needs.

What Makes EMFace Different From Other Treatments?

What Makes EMFace Different From Other Treatments?

EMFace stands out as a completely new category of facial contouring technology. Rather than focusing only on fat removal or only on skin tightening, EMFace improves multiple layers of facial structure at once. It reduces double chin fat, lifts sagging skin, improves jawline definition, restores volume loss, and strengthens the underlying facial muscles responsible for youthful contour.

Because of this layered approach, EMFace is frequently compared to other double chin reduction procedures. However, it consistently stands apart as a smarter, more complete option. 

Here is how it stacks up to 6 of the most popular treatments for reducing double chins or jowls:

• EMFace vs. Surgical Facelift: A facelift requires incisions, anesthesia, sutures, and weeks of visible recovery before results fully settle. EMFace achieves facial lifting and contour enhancement without surgery, pain, or downtime. While a facelift physically repositions tissue, EMFace improves muscle function, stimulates collagen, and gradually tightens the jawline in a way that looks natural and refreshed.

• EMFace vs. Kybella: Kybella works by dissolving fat through a series of injections, which may involve swelling, bruising, and multiple sessions. EMFace is needle-free, requires no recovery time, and improves far more than just fat reduction. It tones underlying facial muscles, tightens skin, and replenishes collagen, lifting and contouring the face more completely.

• EMFace vs. CoolSculpting Elite: CoolSculpting targets fat reduction through freezing with controlled cooling, but does not address muscle laxity or skin quality. EMFace reduces fat while simultaneously toning muscles, firming loose skin, and restoring youthful volume. Instead of removing fat alone, it rebuilds structure under the skin for sharper jawline angles and better long-term definition.

• EMFace vs. Ultherapy: Ultherapy uses ultrasound to stimulate collagen and lift skin but does not directly influence muscle tone or fat thickness. EMFace offers all of the benefits of collagen stimulation while also strengthening facial muscles and reducing unwanted fat under the chin. This layered approach makes results more visible and comprehensive.
• EMFace vs. Chin and Neck Liposuction: Chin and neck liposuction physically removes fat for immediate contour changes, but it cannot tighten muscle or improve skin elasticity on its own. EMFace offers an entirely non-invasive alternative with no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. For individuals who want refinement without surgery, EMFace can create noticeable definition while also improving muscle tone and jawline support.
• EMFace vs. Traditional Liposuction: Traditional lipo removes fat through a cannula beneath the skin. Results are dramatic but bruising, and compression garments and several days or weeks of downtime are expected. EMFace avoids surgical trauma and helps rebuild the structure under the chin instead of simply removing fat.
• EMFace vs. Laser Liposuction (SmartLipo and similar): Laser lipo melts fat with heat, allowing easier removal and some degree of skin tightening. However, it still requires incisions and recovery. EMFace tightens skin and reduces fat without surgery while simultaneously strengthening the facial elevator muscles to prevent jowling long term.
• EMFace vs. Air-Assisted Liposuction (BodyJet, PAL, etc.): Air-assisted lipo uses water or air pressure to dislodge and remove fat gently. Although this method is less aggressive than standard lipo, it is still a surgical procedure with downtime and possible swelling. EMFace allows patients to contour without incisions or postoperative care while also improving facial muscle tone and collagen.

The Top 6 Reasons Why We’re Crazy About EMFace for Double Chins

Now that you know a little more about how EMFace works and how the Submentum applicator targets double chins, let’s dive into the ever-growing list of reasons why we LOVE EMface for double chins.

Here are our top 6 reasons:

#1 EMFace is for Everyone

EMFace is an excellent option for individuals seeking a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution to reduce a double chin naturally. Unlike some non-surgical treatments, EMFace does not target melanin, the pigment in the skin, making it suitable for all skin tones, including deeper tones that may be sensitive to other procedures.

#2 No Needles—unlike Kybella

EMFace is a fully non-invasive treatment that offers a needle-free alternative to traditional double chin reduction methods. Unlike Kybella, which requires a series of injections into the fat beneath the chin, EMFace uses three adhesive pads applied to
the skin surface of the forehead and cheeks, or cheeks and chin so that two areas of
the face are treated simultaneously. This advanced approach makes EMFace an excellent choice for individuals seeking effective results without requiring injections or surgical procedures.

#3 Painless

EMFace treatments are pain-free, providing a comfortable experience for those seeking cosmetic enhancements without concerns about discomfort during or after the procedure. No numbing agents are needed before treatment, ensuring a hassle-free process.

During the session, you may notice muscle contractions or a “twitching” sensation, which might initially feel unusual but easy to adapt to. Patients also report a mild warming sensation, typically gentle and soothing.

One significant advantage of EMFace is that it does not cause bruising, a common side effect of treatments like Kybella injections. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals who prefer to avoid visible signs of having undergone a cosmetic procedure.

Did You Know: EMFace is the only treatment of its kind that simultaneously targets skin, fat, collagen, and muscle, making it an exceptional choice for contouring the chin.

#4 It Burns Off Chin Fat AND Simultaneously Tightens the Skin

Many popular double chin treatments focus solely on reducing chin fat—the stubborn fat beneath the jawline that creates a double chin. EMFace takes it a step further and addresses fat, tones the muscles, and tightens the skin. This dual-action approach delivers more comprehensive and transformative results, improving muscle tone, enhancing skin elasticity, and refining overall contours.

EMFace combines the power of High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES™) with advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology for unmatched results:

HIFES™ for Muscle Toning

• Electromagnetic currents stimulate targeted facial and jaw muscles, causing repeated contractions.
• These contractions strengthen and tone the muscles, improving firmness and definition.
• Once toned, facial muscles create a natural lifting and sculpting effect for a more contoured appearance.

RF for Skin Tightening

• Radiofrequency energy penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production to increase firmness and elasticity, restoring lost volume in the midface.
• RF waves generate gentle heat, creating a controlled “thermal injury” in the dermal layers, which triggers the body’s natural healing process, promoting smoother, firmer skin.
• The result is new collagen growth, which improves skin texture and tightness without discomfort or damage to surrounding tissues.

This innovative treatment is a game-changer for reducing even the most persistent double chins—without the need for needles, pain, or bruising. It’s a safe, effective, and completely non-invasive way to achieve a firmer, more defined profile.

#5 Natural-Looking Results

If you’re interested in seeing more before and after results with EMFace treatments performed at The New England Center for Body Sculpting they are posted on our website.

EMFace delivers gradual, natural-looking improvements to the face and chin contours. This subtle enhancement process is ideal for those who prefer steady, refined changes over dramatic, immediate ones. Most patients notice their final results within approximately three months.

With proper EMFace aftercare and a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy the benefits of your EMFace treatment for many months. We may recommend periodic maintenance sessions tailored to your goals and your body’s unique response to the treatment to maintain your refreshed look and achieve long-lasting results.

#6 So Versatile When Treating the Chin

One of the main reasons we LOVE using EMFace Submentum to eliminate double chins is because it’s so versatile. This innovative applicator makes it possible to address multiple concerns regarding the chin area.

Thanks to the unique design of the new EMFace chin pad, treatments not only lift and tighten skin and muscles but also target and reduce fat cells in the chin area, providing a comprehensive solution for a variety of concerns.

This advanced treatment is perfect for addressing:

• Turkey Neck: Loose, sagging skin beneath the chin.
• Double Chin: Excess fat creates a fuller appearance.
• ‘Pseudo’ Double Chin: Caused by loose or weakened muscles.
