At the Upper East Side office of The Dermatology and Laser Group, we specialize in non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures for the face, neck, and body. We were honored to be one of only a few practices to offer EMFACE many months before it was released as a device for use by other physicians. Emface is the most technologically advanced complete facial rejuvenation device available in New York City. With our extensive experience, we have been able to provide our patients with outstanding results.

Emface Lift
In clinical studies Emface has been shown to increase muscle tone in the face by an average 30%, leading to a 23% lift in the treated area.Emface Smooth
Emface has been shown to reduce wrinkles by 37% in clinical studies. The Emface Eye pushes back under eye fat reducing under-eye bags, dark circles, and crow's feet.Emface Contour
The newer Emface Sumbentum applicator has been shown to reduce fat in the double-chin area by more than 30% in clinical studies.
*The facial rejuvenation results with EMFACE have been validated in over 9 clinical studies thus far with more on the way. Studies show that EMFACE reduces wrinkles by 37%. The reduction in wrinkles occurs because of production of collagen and elastin. In studies EMFACE also increased muscle tone by 30% leading to a 23% lift of the face.
Benefits of Emface
As we age there are two factors that contribute to wrinkled and sagging skin.
1) We lose collagen and elastin in our skin, making our skin less tight. This causes wrinkles and fine lines to form throughout the skin.
2) We lose muscle and bone volume leading to our skin drooping and sagging. This produces skin folds.
A Rejuvenated Appearance That Looks Completely Natural
Emface is a device that truly has the potential to revolutionize facial aesthetics. Because EMFACE works on your muscle structure, the lift and improved contouring results will be completely natural. And because the RF energy produces both elastin and collagen the skin texture improvement is completely natural as well.
Benefits of Treatment Include:
- A reduction in wrinkles in the forehead and cheeks
- A lift of the brow area and mid to lower face
- Reduction of double-chin and contouring of jaw line
- Reduction of under-eye bags and dark circles
Areas Treated With Emface

How does Emface work?
Emface Technology - Needle Free Treatment
Emface uses two technologies simultaneously to naturally treat BOTH aspects of facial aging. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is delivered to the skin to induce skin rejuvenation through the production of collagen and elastin. At the same time, high-intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES) restores muscle tone in key muscles of the forehead and cheeks to lift the face in a natural way.
The specialized Emface Submentum applicator uses a new delivery mechanism of RF called RF+ to not only rejuvenate the skin, but to also produce significant reduction in fat in the double-chin area.
EMFACE is a highly effective facial rejuvenation treatment that is completely comfortable and needle-free treatment with zero downtime. In just four 20 to 40-minute treatments, patients experience improvement in skin laxity, a decrease in wrinkles, and increased tone and lift in the face. EMFACE is proven technology that is a great alternative for patients hoping to avoid procedures such as cheek fillers or more invasive treatment.
Emface treatments can also be used in combination with injectables and other devices used in facial aesthetics to produce even more impressive results.
Facial Toning Treatment Without Surgery or Facial Injectables
Emface uses HIFES technology to tone facial muscles including the frontalis, zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, risorius, digastric, and orbicularis oculi. The increase in tone in underlying facial muscles produces a youthful appearance by producing a completely natural-appearing lift and contouring the face and jaw line. As there is only an improvement in your underlying muscles, there is no risk of the procedure producing an unnatural appearance as it may with some injectables such as poorly done dermal filler.
- Emface was shown to increase muscle tone 30% in targeted facial muscles
- The increase in muscles tone leads to 23% more lift in the face
- 92.8% of patients reported improved volume in hollow facial areas
- Emface has been shown to lift the brows
- The lifting of the face also leads to sculpting of the jawline
- Emface Eye applicators help to build muscle tone under the eye, pushing back under-eye bags, reducing their appearance, while also improving dark circles.
- The Emface Submentum applicators reduce the double-chin area.
Decreasing Wrinkles Without Downtime
The EMFACE applicators also deliver RF technology to the cheeks and forehead to gently heat the skin, activating our body's pathway responsible for producing both elastin and collagen. We love RF facial treatments because they tighten skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and produce a glow and attractive skin tone with zero downtime and no pain (just a gentle warm sensation).
- Studies with Emface show it produces 37% fewer wrinkles
- Studies show a more than 100% increase in elastin
- Emface produces a 26% increase in collagen production
- Emface treatment can tighten skin, and help patients achieve a smoother and more youthful skin tone
What are treatments like?
Emface treatments are safe, effective and easy to undergo. Applicators can be placed on the forehead, around the eyes, the cheeks, and the double-chin area as per the patient's preference and needs.
Treatments take 20 -40 minutes depending on the areas being treated. A typical treatment course is 4 treatments one week apart. There is no downtime. There is no pain associated with Emface treatments. Patients completing the treatment at The Dermatology and Laser Group most often report that treatments feel like an intense workout for the face.
Potential Adverse Effects with Emface
Emface is very well tolerated by all patients. Some patients are slightly pink in the treated areas, but this typically resolves within several minutes. Some patients experience muscular fatigue and soreness in treated areas for 1-2 days.
Emface Forehead Treatment
The Emface Forehead Treatment is a non-invasive solution for patients seeking a natural lift of the brows and a smoother, more youthful forehead, all without needles or downtime. By simultaneously treating the skin and the frontalis muscle, Emface delivers visible rejuvenation in this high-movement area.
As we age, the muscle in the forehead weakens and collagen production declines, contributing to heaviness in the brow area and the formation of horizontal forehead lines. Emface uses HIFES™ technology to strengthen the frontalis muscle and radiofrequency (RF) energy to rebuild collagen and elastin in the skin.
This dual action results in a noticeable brow lift, opening up the eye area and reducing hooding of the upper eyelids. At the same time, fine lines and deeper forehead wrinkles soften as skin texture and elasticity improve.
For enhanced results, Emface Forehead Treatment can be combined with neuromodulators like Botox or Daxxify, allowing patients to maintain natural movement while achieving a smoother, lifted look.
Emface Cheeks Treatment
The Emface Cheek Treatment targets one of the most important structural areas of the face—where volume, lift, and contour define a youthful appearance. By treating both the zygomaticus and risorius muscles, as well as the overlying skin, Emface creates a natural lift in the mid-face while tightening and improving the lower face and jawline.
Loss of muscle tone and collagen in the cheeks leads to sagging, flattening of the mid-face, and deepening of nasolabial folds. Using HIFES™ to tone the muscles and RF to rebuild collagen, Emface restores elevation to the cheeks, creating a lifted, sculpted appearance.
As the cheeks lift, so does the lower face, resulting in improved jawline definition and contouring without the need for fillers or surgery. Patients often notice a more balanced facial profile, with enhanced cheekbones and a reduction in jowling and skin laxity.
Emface Cheek Treatment can be performed alone, but it is more commonly done as part of a comprehensive Emface facial rejuvenation package.
Emface Submentum Double-Chin Treatment
EMFACE Submentum is the first and only non-invasive treatment designed to target the double chin area by addressing every layer—from muscle to skin. In just four 20-minute sessions, this specialized applicator tightens the digastric muscle, reduces submental fat by 31–35%, and rejuvenates the overlying skin.
What sets EMFACE Submentum apart is its use of RF+ technology, which is exclusive to this treatment area. Unlike standard EMFACE treatments that deliver lower-level RF energy to the skin only, RF+ penetrates deeper and reaches higher temperatures. This enhanced energy delivery breaks down fat effectively while simultaneously stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin. The other areas treated by Emface do not have any effect on fat.
The result: visible fat reduction, firmer skin, and improved contour of the jawline—all without surgery, needles, bruising, or downtime.
In our opinion, EMFACE Submentum is the most advanced and effective non-invasive solution for double chin treatment available today.
Emface Eyes Treatment
Emface Eyes is the only non-invasive device that targets both the skin and the underlying muscles around the eyes—treating the root causes of aging in this delicate area. At The Dermatology and Laser Group, we use Emface Eyes to address:
-
Under-eye bags
-
Dark circles
-
Crow’s feet and fine lines
Under-eye bags are often a frustrating concern caused by a combination of genetics and aging. As we age, both the skin and the muscle around the eyes weaken, allowing fat to bulge forward and create visible puffiness. Emface Eyes uses HIFES™ technology to strengthen the underlying muscle and RF energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin. This dual approach helps reposition the fat, improving the appearance of under-eye bags.
By improving muscle tone in the tear trough area, Emface Eyes also softens hollowing and reduces the shadowing that contributes to dark circles.
Crow’s feet - those fine lines that become more prominent with smiling and squinting - are another common concern. While neuromodulators like Botox remain the gold standard for treating crow’s feet, patients looking for a completely non-invasive option can also benefit from Emface Eyes, which enhances skin texture and firmness in this area.
For optimal results, Emface Eyes can be combined with other treatments, including Botox and Daxxify injections, under-eye fillers, PRFM (PRP) injections, and energy-based devices such as TempSure, CO2 laser, and Ultherapy.
