The Treatment
Emface Submentum
Emface Submentum is a dedicated applicator extension of the Emface platform, designed specifically for the submental area, the zone beneath the chin and along the upper neck. It uses the same dual-technology approach as the facial treatment: synchronised radiofrequency to support skin quality and HIFES muscle stimulation to engage the platysma and surrounding tissues.
Submental fullness and loss of jawline definition are among the most common concerns in facial ageing, yet they are also among the hardest to address without intervention. Most non-invasive options offer limited results in this area. Emface Submentum is one of the few treatments that specifically targets the muscles and skin beneath the chin simultaneously, offering a needle-free pathway to visible refinement.

About
What it is, how it works.
How it works
A specialised applicator is placed beneath the chin. Synchronised radiofrequency gently warms the deeper skin layers to support collagen and skin firmness in an area that is notoriously difficult to treat non-invasively. At the same time, HIFES, focused electromagnetic stimulation, engages the underlying muscles in a way voluntary exercise cannot replicate. The two technologies work together to support tightening, toning, and definition in the submental region.
Why it matters
Submental fullness and loss of jawline definition are among the most common concerns in facial ageing, yet they are also among the hardest to address without intervention. Most non-invasive options offer limited results in this area. Emface Submentum is one of the few treatments that specifically targets the muscles and skin beneath the chin simultaneously, offering a needle-free pathway to visible refinement.

Your Questions, Answered
A dedicated applicator for the Emface platform that targets the submental area beneath the chin using radiofrequency and focused muscle stimulation, without injections or downtime.
It uses the same dual technology, but with a specialised applicator shaped for the submental zone. It can be delivered alongside full-face Emface or as a focused treatment on its own.
A standard course is 4 sessions over 4 weeks. Maintenance every 3–6 months is typical.
Subtle improvement during the course; visible outcomes from session 3 onwards. Peak results typically 8–12 weeks after the final session.
None. Patients return to normal activity immediately after treatment.
