EmFace Submentum results are not permanent, but they can last 12–18 months with proper care. The treatment reduces submental fat by 31–35% and tightens facial muscles, creating long-lasting improvements that gradually fade due to natural aging. Most patients benefit from maintenance sessions to preserve their enhanced jawline definition and skin-tightening effects.
What is EmFace Submentum and how does it work?
EmFace Submentum is a non-invasive double chin treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation (HIFES) to target every layer of the submental area. This innovative technology simultaneously reduces fat deposits, tightens muscles, and rejuvenates skin without surgery or downtime.
The treatment uses synchronized RF energy to break down stubborn submental fat, while the electromagnetic stimulation contracts and strengthens the digastric muscle beneath your chin. This dual-action approach creates a more defined jawline by addressing both excess fat and muscle laxity that contribute to the appearance of a double chin.
Unlike other facial treatments that focus on just one concern, EmFace Submentum treatment options work comprehensively across muscle, fat, and skin layers. The specialized applicator delivers precise energy to the submental area while you experience gentle muscle contractions and a warming sensation similar to a relaxing facial massage.
How long do EmFace Submentum results typically last?
EmFace Submentum results typically last 12 to 18 months following the completion of your treatment series. Longevity depends on individual factors like age, lifestyle habits, and how well you maintain your results through proper skincare and healthy choices.
You’ll notice initial improvements within a few weeks after your four-session treatment series, with results continuing to develop over the following months. The fat reduction achieved during treatment provides the most lasting effects, while muscle toning and skin tightening may require more frequent maintenance to sustain optimal results.
The natural aging process continues after treatment, which means collagen production slows and skin elasticity gradually decreases over time. However, the structural improvements to your jawline and the reduction in submental fat create a foundation that ages more gracefully than untreated areas.
What factors affect the permanence of EmFace Submentum outcomes?
Individual biological factors significantly influence how long your EmFace Submentum results will last. Age plays a crucial role, as younger patients with better skin elasticity typically maintain results longer than those with more advanced signs of aging.
Your genetics determine how quickly your body produces new fat cells and how well your skin maintains its firmness over time. Weight fluctuations can also impact results, as significant weight gain may create new fat deposits in the treated area, while weight loss can enhance the definition achieved through treatment.
Lifestyle habits directly affect result longevity. Sun exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, smoking reduces circulation and healing, and poor nutrition can impact skin quality. Following post-treatment care recommendations, including proper skincare and sun protection, helps preserve your investment in facial contouring.
Hormonal changes, particularly those related to menopause or thyroid conditions, can influence fat distribution and skin elasticity. Staying hydrated, maintaining a stable weight, and protecting your skin from environmental damage all contribute to extending your treatment benefits.
How can you maintain and extend your EmFace Submentum results?
Maintaining your EmFace Submentum results requires consistent skincare and periodic touch-up treatments. Most patients schedule maintenance sessions every 12–18 months to refresh their results and counteract the natural aging process that continues after treatment.
A quality skincare routine featuring products with retinoids, peptides, and antioxidants supports collagen production and skin firmness. Daily sunscreen application prevents UV damage that breaks down the collagen and elastin your treatment worked to stimulate.
Maintaining a stable weight prevents new fat accumulation in the treated area, while staying hydrated keeps your skin plump and healthy. Regular facial massage and exercises targeting the jaw and neck muscles can complement your professional treatments.
Consider scheduling a consultation 12–15 months after your initial treatment series to assess your results and determine the optimal timing for maintenance sessions. Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific maintenance needs and develop a personalized plan that keeps your jawline looking its best for years to come.
