EmFace Submentum results typically last 12–18 months after completing the initial treatment series. The synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES energy create lasting muscle-toning and skin-tightening effects that gradually improve over time. Individual results may vary based on age, lifestyle factors, and post-treatment care, with maintenance sessions helping extend the longevity of your jawline definition and reduced double-chin appearance.
What is EmFace Submentum and how does it work?
EmFace Submentum is a non-invasive treatment that targets the double-chin area using synchronized radiofrequency energy and High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation (HIFES). This innovative technology addresses every layer from muscle to skin, making it the first treatment specifically designed for comprehensive submental-area improvement.
The treatment works by delivering precise radiofrequency energy to break down submental fat while simultaneously stimulating the digastric muscle through electromagnetic pulses. This dual-action approach tightens loose skin, reduces fat deposits, and strengthens underlying facial muscles in just four 20-minute sessions.
During treatment, patients experience gentle muscle contractions combined with a warming sensation, similar to a relaxing facial massage. The specialized Submentum applicator ensures targeted energy delivery to deep muscles and fat layers while promoting collagen and elastin production in the overlying skin.

How long do EmFace Submentum results typically last?
EmFace Submentum results typically last 12–18 months after completing the recommended four-session treatment series. Most patients notice initial improvements within 2–3 weeks, with peak results becoming visible 8–12 weeks after the final session as collagen remodeling continues.
The treatment creates lasting changes by reducing submental fat and strengthening the digastric muscle. The radiofrequency energy permanently destroys targeted fat cells, 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 last even longer than the initial timeframe, especially when combined with proper maintenance and healthy lifestyle choices.
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.
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, including gentle facial exercises 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 can you maintain and extend your EmFace Submentum results?
Maintenance treatments every 12–18 months help extend EmFace Submentum results and preserve your improved jawline definition. Single maintenance sessions can refresh the muscle-toning effects and continue stimulating collagen production to maintain skin tightness.
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.
