EMFACE Submentum results develop gradually in the weeks following the treatment course and typically last well beyond a year, though individual results vary based on age, lifestyle, and how consistently you follow your provider’s maintenance plan. The synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES energy create muscle-toning and skin-tightening effects that continue to improve over time. Maintenance sessions help preserve your jawline definition and reduced double-chin appearance, and your provider can advise on the right schedule for you.
What is EMFACE Submentum?
EMFACE Submentum is a non-invasive treatment that uses synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES to address the submental area from muscle to skin. If you’d like a full overview, read about what EMFACE Submentum is and how it differs from surgical and injectable alternatives.
How long do EMFACE Submentum results last?
EMFACE Submentum results develop over the weeks following the recommended treatment course, with most patients noticing initial improvements within 2–3 weeks and peak results becoming visible around 8–12 weeks after the final session as collagen remodeling continues. Individual results vary.
The treatment creates lasting changes by reducing submental fat and strengthening the digastric muscle. The radiofrequency energy targets fat cells in the treated area, while the muscle-toning effects provide sustained lift and definition to the jawline. The skin-tightening benefits continue to improve for several months as new collagen and elastin form.
Unlike temporary solutions, EMFACE Submentum addresses the structural components contributing to a double-chin appearance. The muscle-strengthening effects can be long-lasting, especially when combined with proper maintenance and healthy lifestyle choices. How long results last varies with age, weight changes, and overall lifestyle — your provider is best placed to set realistic expectations for your situation.

What factors affect how long your EMFACE results will last?
Several individual factors influence EMFACE Submentum result longevity, including your age, skin elasticity, lifestyle habits, and commitment to post-treatment care. Younger patients with better skin quality often experience longer-lasting results due to more robust collagen production and muscle responsiveness. Individual results vary.
Your skincare routine plays a crucial role in maintaining results. Regular use of quality moisturizers, sunscreen, and collagen-supporting products helps preserve the skin-tightening benefits. Maintaining a stable weight prevents new fat accumulation in the treated area, while staying hydrated supports overall skin health.
Lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive sun exposure, and poor nutrition can accelerate aging and reduce treatment longevity. Following post-treatment recommendations and proper skin care helps maximize and extend your results. Age-related changes in metabolism and hormone levels may also influence how long the muscle-toning and fat-reduction effects persist.
How long do EMFACE results last on the face and eyes?
EMFACE is not only used for the submental area — it is also used for overall facial contouring and around the eyes. As with Submentum, results on the face and eyes develop gradually after the treatment course, and how long they last depends on individual factors including age, skin quality, and lifestyle. Patients generally notice continued improvement for several weeks after their final session. Individual results vary.

How can you maintain and extend your EMFACE Submentum results?
Maintenance sessions help extend EMFACE Submentum results and preserve your improved jawline definition. The right interval between maintenance appointments varies from person to person — generally every 6–12 months — and is best determined with your provider based on how your results are holding and what your aesthetic goals are.
Complementary treatments such as professional skincare facials, microneedling, or laser treatments can enhance and prolong your results by supporting ongoing collagen production. A consistent at-home skincare routine with retinoids, vitamin C, and peptides helps maintain skin quality and firmness.
Lifestyle choices significantly impact result longevity. Regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, adequate sleep, and stress management all contribute to healthier aging and better treatment outcomes. Avoiding excessive weight fluctuations helps prevent new fat accumulation in the treated area.
