EMFACE for Double Chin
The EMFACE Submentum applicator is a non-invasive double-chin treatment that works on every layer under the chin, from muscle to skin. Synchronized radiofrequency reduces submental fat while HIFES stimulation firms the tissue, defining the jawline and neck in painless 20-minute sessions with no needles and essentially no downtime.
What is EMFACESubmentum?
EMFACE Submentum is the double-chin applicator for the EMFACE platform, the first non-invasive treatment to address every layer of the submental area, from muscle to skin. A contoured applicator sits under the chin and delivers EMFACE's patented pairing of energies: synchronized radiofrequency that heats and treats the fat while HIFES stimulation firms the tissues around it.
The original EMFACE improved the double-chin area indirectly, by tightening skin, strengthening the cheek muscles, and reducing jowling, but it did not reduce fat there. The Submentum applicator changes that. It decreases fat under the chin directly, which is why for some patients it works as a genuine non-surgical alternative to neck or chin liposuction.
Treatment is quick and painless, about 20 minutes, with no needles and no bruising. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately, with at most a little temporary redness or swelling in the treated area. The number of sessions depends on how much submental fat you carry, so your provider maps out your plan at a consultation.
Who is EMFACE Submentum for?
EMFACE Submentum is for anyone, men and women alike, who wants a cleaner jawline without needles, surgery, or recovery time.
How many sessions you need depends on the amount of submental fat: some patients need only a few, others benefit from more over a longer period. We examine the area at your consultation and tell you honestly whether Submentum, liposuction, or another approach fits your case best.
A double chin bothers you
Fullness under the chin that softens the jawline, whether from weight, genetics, or age.

For many patients Submentum is an effective non-surgical substitute for neck or chin liposuction.
You are in your twenties or beyond
Patients from their twenties up often choose it to postpone or forgo facial plastic surgery.
You have had a facelift before
Post-facelift patients whose skin or jowls have loosened again use it for further improvement.
Downtime is not an option
Sessions are painless, needle-free, and bruise-free, with normal activities resuming immediately.

Frequently asked questions
What is EMFACE Submentum?
It is the double-chin applicator for the EMFACE platform: a non-invasive treatment that addresses every layer of the submental area, reducing fat while firming the tissue to define the jawline and neck.
How does it reduce a double chin?
Synchronized radiofrequency heats and treats the fat under the chin while HIFES stimulation firms the surrounding tissue. Unlike the original EMFACE, the Submentum applicator reduces submental fat directly.

Is there any downtime?
Essentially none. There is no bruising; at most, some patients have a little temporary redness or swelling in the treated area.
Can it replace neck or chin liposuction?
For certain patients, yes. It reduces fat, tightens skin, and enhances the jawline without surgery. Whether that holds for your case is exactly what the consultation determines.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the amount of submental fat. Some patients need only a few sessions; others benefit from more over a longer period. We plan the series for your case at the consultation.
How much does it cost?
Cost varies with the amount of submental fat and the number of sessions, so pricing is discussed at your consultation.
