EmFace is the first non-invasive treatment for aesthetic enhancement and muscular therapy. Refining both facial features or physical concerns from the inside out.

The newly developed EmFace technology has created a first-of-its-kind solution to issues such as loss of facial tone, overall appearance enhancements, and even muscle rehabilitation.

Your Facial Gym

Exercising the facial muscles helps maintain a youthful, lifted appearance while also supporting muscle strength, blood flow, and long-term function.

Keeping up with daily 30-minute facial workouts can feel tedious and time consuming. What if a machine could do the work for you? EmFace by BTL Industries delivers just that, with only four 20-minute sessions needed to see results.

The Miracle of EmFace

The first non-surgical option to achieve common aesthetic desires and treat physiology dysfunctions.

Traditionally, achieving these results requires invasive procedures such as plastic surgery, Botox, or fillers. With EmFace, you can achieve them naturally and non-invasively, with no needles and no downtime.

How Does EmFace Work?

EmFace has developed breakthrough equipment that simultaneously emits synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) to target skin and muscles.

RF Energy

The RF component heats the skin’s dermal layer to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity — resulting in tighter, smoother skin without needles or injections

HIFES™

High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation causes involuntary muscle contractions that tone and strengthen the facial muscles, resulting in a lifting and sculpting effect.

Combined Effect

The synergistic effect of both technologies addresses both the skin’s structure and remodels underlying muscles for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions About EmFace

EMFACE applicators targeting jaw muscles for TMJ relief and relaxation Ocean Aesthetics & Wellness serving Hilton Head Island & Bluffton

EMFACE feels like a combination of warmth on the skin and strong, rhythmic muscle contractions.

It can feel unusual at first, simply because your facial muscles are being activated in a way you cannot create on your own. Most patients adjust quickly and find it very manageable. There are no needles and no downtime.

For most patients, EMFACE is not considered painful.

However, the sensation can feel strong depending on the intensity level. Some areas may feel more noticeable than others because the treatment is actively stimulating muscle, not just the skin.

Overall, it is very well tolerated and does not feel invasive.

Yes—and this is an important part of the treatment.

EMFACE can be adjusted across a wide range of intensity levels. Some patients prefer to stay at lower levels, while others comfortably tolerate higher settings.

We always start at a comfortable level and gradually increase based on your tolerance. The treatment is guided by your feedback throughout the session.

In general, higher tolerated settings can create stronger muscle contractions, which may enhance lifting and toning effects.

However, results are built over a series, and consistency matters more than pushing intensity too quickly. The goal is to reach the highest effective level for you—not simply the highest possible level.

We focus on progressive improvement rather than aggressive treatment.

Your face is supported by muscle, not just skin.

As muscle tone decreases over time:

The face can appear flatter
Contours become softer
Skin may drape more easily

This is one reason EMFACE is unique—it helps address the structural component of aging, not just the surface.

Botox works by relaxing muscles to reduce expression lines.

EMFACE works differently by stimulating muscle activity and supporting lift and tone while also improving skin quality.

Botox can soften wrinkles, but it does not strengthen the face. With repeated use, muscle relaxation may contribute to reduced muscle activity over time, which is one reason some patients prefer a more supportive, regenerative approach.

At Ocean Aesthetics & Wellness, we focus on helping the face look naturally lifted and expressive rather than reducing movement.

After your first session, you may notice subtle improvements such as a slightly more lifted or refreshed appearance.

However, the most meaningful results develop over a series as muscle tone builds, and tissue support improves.

The result is gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation rather than an immediate artificial change.

EMFACE is ideal for patients who want a non-surgical, non-injectable option for facial lift and support.

It works especially well for those noticing early to moderate sagging, loss of contour, or a general sense that the face looks less lifted than before.

It is also a strong option for patients who want to maintain facial structure over time while preserving natural expression.
