BTL Aesthetics, the developers of the distinctly effective, non-invasive EMSCULPT and EMSCULPT NEO devices, have a highly-advanced new treatment available now. The EMSCULPT and EMSCULPT NEO body sculpting devices are the gold standards in non-invasive fat reduction, muscle toning, and body contouring. BTL Aesthetics also released the latest version of the EMSELLA device, a leading treatment option for all forms of urinary incontinence and women’s wellness.
BTL Aesthetics’ latest device, EMFACE™, is a revolutionary, non-invasive solution to facial injectables and other treatments. This facial toning treatment opens the door to a completely new way of toning and tightening facial features. For more information on also treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, please read below.
EMFACE technology is the first of its kind. Using the proven technology that revolutionalized non-invasive body contouring, EMFACE is specially designed to treat the face and tone the skin and underlying muscles.
EMFACE is a groundbreaking, non-invasive facial treatment that tones and tightens the features. Using the proven technology that revolutionalized non-invasive body contouring, BTL Aesthetics designed EMFACE especially to treat the face. EMFACE tones the skin and underlying facial muscles, achieving sculpted, firmed lines in the facial area with the same technology that EMSCULPT and EMSCULPT NEO have used to successfully tone and tighten the body for years.
In some ways, EMFACE can be thought of as an alternative to facial injectables and other treatments. This non-injectable facial toning treatment can achieve many of the similar effects that injectable treatments and other facial rejuvenation treatments do, but without any invasive measures at all, and with highly dramatic results. EMFACE in NYC is a completely new way of toning and tightening your facial features.
This exciting new treatment provides many benefits for patients who are looking for effective facial rejuvenation without any invasive measures. Benefits of EMFACE in NYC include the following:
In addition to its groundbreaking aesthetic benefits, EMFACE recently gained FDA clearance for a new and exciting use: treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. This development creates new possibilities for patients with jaw pain, stiffness, or muscle-related discomfort.
Using the same combination of synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES® muscle stimulation that tones and rejuvenates the face.
EMFACE can now be applied to:
For patients, this means a needle-free, non-invasive alternative to traditional TMJ therapies, without medication or downtime.
Dr. Yael Halaas is proud to be among the first providers offering this expanded EMFACE treatment, further bridging the gap between aesthetic rejuvenation and functional wellness.
EMFACE treatments are short, lasting only about 20 minutes. Because there is no downtime, patients can get an EMFACE treatment during their lunch break and go right back to work or their usual activities once it’s complete.
We recommend about four EMFACE sessions for patients, although needs vary from person to person. Because EMFACE results are natural, allowing the body to restructure to skin and sculpt the lines of your face naturally, it will take 6-12 weeks before you achieve your ultimate results.
By this point, your body will have rebuilt the skin structure, and improved the quality of your facial muscles. You will be able to see the more radiant, youthful appearance of your skin, defined jawline, and overall rejuvenation.
EMFACE candidates are men or women who want to firm their skin and define their features to look fresher and more youthful but don’t want surgery or invasive treatment.
Ideal candidates for EMFACE in NYC should meet the following requirements:
As with any cosmetic treatment, the cost of EMFACE will vary from state to state and city to city. The average cost of a package of 4 EMFACE treatments in New York City is around $5,000.
We are currently offering $750 off our regularly priced Emface package of 4 for $5,000, bringing the cost down to $4,250.
EMFACE study results of volume changes three months after EMFACE facial treatments.
A double chin, or submental fullness, happens when extra fat gathers under the chin, causing it to droop or protrude. This can be due to genetics, aging, weight gain, or poor posture. Many people feel self-conscious about having a double chin and want to find ways to reduce or eliminate it for a more defined and youthful facial appearance.
The EMFACE® Submentum offers a non-invasive procedure to address this issue by targeting every layer from muscle to skin. Dr. Halaas highly recommends the Submentum for the following reasons:
So, how does EMFACE® Submentum work? It uses a unique combination of Synchronized Radiofrequency and HIFES™ muscle stimulation, making it the first procedure of its kind. By stimulating submental tissues and applying radiofrequency heating, it achieves an overall aesthetic improvement in the submental area.
The delicate skin and muscles around the eyes are usually the first to display signs of aging, such as puffiness, wrinkles, and a loss of firmness. EMFACE Eye specifically targets and rejuvenates the lower eyelid area without surgery or injectables.
Dr. Halaas was quoted on her thoughts about the breakthrough EMFACE device in articles published in Practical Dermatology and Modern Aesthetics:
EMFACE Clinical Study: Novel Approach to Facial Rejuvenation by Treating Cutaneous and Soft Tissue for Wrinkles Reduction:
First Experience from Multicenter Clinical Trial. (2023) Richard Gentile, MD and Yael Halaas, MD, FACS2
"EMFACE presents a paradigm shift in facial treatments," observes Yael Halaas, MD. "EMFACE will do for the face what Emsculpt did for the body.
In addition to her recognition as one of the best facial plastic surgeons in NYC, Dr. Yael Halaas is a highly respected national expert in aesthetic medicine. She is double board-certified in the most selective field by the American Board of Otolaryngology and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
She is a Key Opinion Leader and international speaker for major aesthetic brands, as well as a clinical investigator for new treatments. Dr. Halaas has been working on the development and research of EMFACE for the past six years including completing the original wrinkle reduction study and now the second ultrasound muscle study. She has the longest clinical experience with the device and is thrilled to be the first provider of EMFACE treatments.
HIFEM utilizes a focused electromagnetic field that penetrates to the depth of 7-10 cm depending on the applicator and is important to stimulate a large volume of the target muscles. HIFEM is intended for major muscle groups such as gluteal muscles, abdominals, etc.
HIFES, however, is intended to stimulate delicate and superficial facial muscles. HIFES utilizes high-intensity electric fields to engage superficial facial muscles. These muscles require less depth of penetration and volumetric stimulation- such as the Frontalis muscle, Zygomaticus major, Zygomaticus minor, and Risorius.
HIFEM technology has shown to be effective for the areas that need deeper penetration and stimulation of large muscle volumes. Facial muscles are small and superficial and do not need deep penetration nor large volume stimulation. And so, HIFES is more suitable for the facial muscles.
EMS is not ideal for building muscle; it is superficial and follows the path of least resistance.
EMS on the body will not have the same effect as HIFEM since the penetration is not deep enough to cause significant changes in the muscles (hypertrophy/ hyperplasia).
Synchronized RF is the only patented radiofrequency technology that works simultaneously with muscle stimulation.
EMSCULPT NEO uses Bipolar Synchronized RF technology at 27.12 Mhz. The electrode consists of hundreds of bipolar electrode segments that penetrate deep in the tissue and accumulate heat in the deep FAT layer - important for Emsculpt NEO’s indication for use.
EMFACE uses monopolar Synchronized RF technology at 3.2 Mhz. This Hz rate has a more superficial heating effect(than NEOs Synchronized RF) and fits the needs in facial skin for collagen and elastin genesis. With our current protocol, Synchronized RF targets primarily epidermis and dermis.
EMFACE is not restricted to any skin type.
Over 700+ treatments were performed in our studies, and now over 3000 have been completed, with NO reported adverse events.
To this point, there have been no adverse events reported related to either sun exposure or melasma.
Current treatment protocol is not designed to cause FAT reduction/lipolysis.
The temperature in the fat layer does not exceed 40°C - 42°C, which is below the recognized temperature needed for the lipolysis of the fat cells.
Applicators are designed explicitly for the facial areas.
Using the applicators on different body areas will not stimulate the muscles in that area properly, leading to an unknown (possibly undesirable) result.
With EMFACE, dermal thickness is improved, thereby making the skin harder to accordion (fold on itself). Second, the structure of the muscle and surrounding fascia is improved and provides more structural support for the skin. As a result, we are clinically seeing improvement of static forehead rhytids (wrinkles).
Emface helps restore more youthful function to facial muscles and promotes more youthful-looking skin, which doesn’t just look better, it functions more like it used to.
