Move over Kybella, there’s a new non-surgical double chin treatment on the market: Emface. Created by BTL Aesthetics (the makers of Emsculpt Neo), Emface is a groundbreaking facial rejuvenation treatment that not only lifts and sculpts the contours of the face, but also works to quickly and effectively reduce a double chin. Today, we share why Emface is quickly becoming our go-to double chin treatment at our Colorado Springs medical spa.
1. No Needles Needed
Emface is a completely non-invasive treatment. Unlike Kybella, which involves a series of injections directly into the fat beneath the chin, Emface operates externally without needles and instead uses 3 adhesive electrodes placed on your forehead, cheeks, and chin. Emface is a great option for anyone who would prefer not to undergo more invasive double chin treatments, which can require injections or even surgery.
2. Pain-Free Procedure
Emface treatment is generally considered to be pain-free, making it a more comfortable option for those seeking cosmetic improvements without worrying about pain management during or after the procedure. There is even no need for any numbing before beginning your treatment.
The muscle contractions or “twitching” sensation may feel strange at first, but most patients get used to the experience quickly. You will also feel a slight warming sensation, but it will be mild (and might even feel soothing!).
Another perk: Emface does not cause bruising, which is expected after Kybella injections. This is a big plus for those who want to avoid visible signs of undergoing a cosmetic procedure.
Emface is currently the only treatment available that treats skin, fat, and muscle, making it ideal for contouring the chin.
3. Quick Treatment Time
Each Emface treatment session typically lasts only about 20 minutes, making it a convenient option for people with busy schedules. Compared to other double chin treatments that require longer sessions or multiple follow-ups, Emface has them all beat!
Another time-saver: Emface does not require any special preparation before the procedure or post-treatment care. Just walk into our Colorado Springs office, sit down, and relax while the Emface applicators do their thing, and that’s it! (In contrast, after fat reduction injections with Kybella, patients need to follow specific instructions to manage swelling or discomfort and delay certain activities.)
4. Simultaneous Muscle Toning & Skin Tightening
Other popular double chin treatment methods on the market tend to solely target submental fat—the stubborn, excess fat below the jawline that causes a double chin. On the other hand, Emface not only reduces fat but also works on toning the muscles and tightening the skin. This dual action provides more comprehensive results, offering benefits that extend beyond fat reduction to also improve muscle tone and skin laxity.
Similar to Emsculpt, Emface works by combining the power of High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) with radiofrequency (RF) technology.
HIFES to tone muscle
- Electromagnetic currents contract targeted muscles in the face and jaw.
- These repeated muscle contractions tone the muscles to firm facial contours and enhance definition.
- Once strengthened, facial muscles provide a natural lifting and sculpting effect.
Radiofrequency (RF) to tighten skin
- Radiofrequency stimulates the production of collagen deep within the skin to promote increased firmness and elasticity.
- RF waves generate heat, causing a “thermal injury” within the deeper dermal layers of the skin without harming surrounding tissues or causing discomfort.
- To heal the controlled thermal injury, the body’s natural healing response creates new collagen layers beneath the skin.
This groundbreaking treatment can reduce even the most stubborn double chins – without needles, pain, or bruising!
5. Versatility
Emface can be a great treatment for anyone looking to improve their facial aesthetics, not just those focused on reducing a double chin. Its powerful muscle-toning and skin-tightening effects can be used to lift and tone several areas of the face, including:
- Skin
- Muscles
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Brow
- Forehead
6. Emface is for Everyone
Emface is ideal for anyone looking for an easy, long-lasting treatment to naturally reduce a double chin. While some non-surgical treatments aren’t safe for deeper skin tones, Emface does not target melanin (the pigment in the skin), making it a suitable option for people with darker skin tones.
And yes, men can benefit from Emface too!
“Amazing first visit experience! I was greeted with a warm smile by staff upon entering the office. The office is clean and aesthetically pleasing. Dr. Marvin Lee was punctual and informative. In a world of quick 2-minute appointments in offices where you feel like a number, this was not that! He took time to discuss my concerns and came up with a treatment plan. I look forward to returning!”

7. Natural-looking Results
Results from Emface develop over time to produce natural-looking improvement in the face and chin contours. This gradual change can be preferable for those seeking subtle enhancements rather than immediate, drastic changes. The final results should be visible within about 3 months.
You can expect to enjoy the effects of your Emface treatment for months—and longer if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow any aftercare advice from your provider.
To get the most out of your results, we may also recommend scheduling maintenance Emface sessions a few times a year, depending on your personal goals and your body’s unique response to the treatment.
