Lift Your Face. No Needles. No Surgery. No Downtime.

What Is Emface?

Emface is the world’s first non-invasive facial treatment that simultaneously lifts facial muscle, regenerates collagen and elastin, and — uniquely at a dental medspa — addresses TMJ dysfunction and jaw muscle tension. Developed by BTL Aesthetics and backed by nine clinical studies, Emface delivers measurable, visible results through technology alone: no needles, no bruising, no surgery, and no disruption to your day.

A single course of four 20-minute sessions produces an average of 37% reduction in wrinkles, 30% increase in facial muscle tone, 23% lifting effect, 26% increase in collagen, and a remarkable 200% increase in elastin. These are not marketing claims — they are published clinical results from independent studies involving over one million treatments performed worldwide.

Emface is what non-invasive facial aesthetics were always trying to be.

How Does Emface Work?

Emface works on two simultaneous dimensions, using applicators placed directly on the face — hands-free and comfortably administered:

Synchronized Radiofrequency (RF)
RF energy heats the deeper layers of the dermis to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This improves skin quality, reduces fine lines, and firms the skin across the treatment area — results that continue to build for weeks after each session.

HIFES® (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation)
Thousands of precisely calibrated electrical pulses contract the delicate muscles of the face, strengthening and toning the underlying muscle structure that supports skin. This is the same foundational principle behind Emsculpt Neo’s body results — applied to the face with specialized applicators for the forehead, cheeks, and submentum (under-chin) area.

For TMJ concerns, the jaw applicator combines RF (to relieve muscle spasms and improve local circulation) with HIFES (to activate and rehabilitate the masseter and surrounding jaw muscles) — addressing both aesthetics and function in a single treatment.

What Can Emface Address?

Aesthetically:

Forehead and brow lifting
Reduction of crow’s feet and forehead lines
Cheek lift and mid-face contouring
Jawline and neck tightening
Under-chin contouring
Overall skin firmness, texture, and tone

Functionally:

TMJ dysfunction and jaw muscle tension
Jaw clenching and bruxism-related muscle fatigue
Facial muscle weakness or asymmetry

Emface at a Dental Medspa — Why It Matters

Most people think of jaw health and facial aesthetics as separate concerns addressed by separate providers. At Luma Medical Aesthetics & Wellness Clinic, these two dimensions come together in a uniquely powerful way.

Dr. Marvin Chan’s training in facial anatomy, occlusion, and muscle function gives him a deeper understanding of the relationship between jaw health and facial structure than most aesthetic providers possess. For clients managing TMJ symptoms, teeth grinding, or jaw tension — and who also want to address the cosmetic effects of that tension on their face — Emface at Luma offers a genuinely integrated solution.

Emface is the only FDA-cleared aesthetic device that simultaneously addresses facial lifting and TMJ dysfunction. At a general medspa, that’s a remarkable feature. At a dental medspa led by a restorative specialist, it’s a natural extension of the care you already receive.

What to Expect

A standard Emface protocol consists of four 20-minute sessions, typically spaced one week apart. During treatment, you’ll feel gentle warmth and mild muscle contractions — most clients describe the sensation as a relaxing facial massage with an added toning quality. There is no pain, no bruising, and no recovery.

You can apply makeup, return to work, and resume all normal activities immediately following each session. Optimal results are visible six to twelve weeks after your final treatment, as collagen and elastin production continue to build. Results typically last up to one year, with annual maintenance recommended.
