Non-invasive double chin reduction and jawline definition — no surgery, no injections, no downtime.

Chin Up!

Say Goodbye to Stubborn Double Chins

EmFace Submentum is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the submental region, commonly referred to as the “double chin.” 

This innovative treatment is aimed at reducing excess fat and enhancing the overall contour of the jawline and neck area, resulting in a more youthful, sculpted, and alert look.

Your Concerns, Our Focus

EmFace Submentum is ideal for patients looking to reduce the appearance of a double chin, define the jawline, and tighten the neck area — without surgery or injectable treatments.

Using synchronized RF energy and HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation), EmFace Submentum works beneath the skin’s surface to simultaneously strengthen the underlying muscles and stimulate collagen production, delivering a more sculpted, defined, and youthful profile.

It is particularly effective for patients in Hilton Head and Bluffton who want visible contouring results without the risks or recovery time of surgical options like chin liposuction or neck lifts.

How it Works

Radiofrequency Energy

RF energy gently heats deep layers of tissue, stimulating natural collagen production and firming the skin’s elasticity.

HIFES™

Electrical stimulation engages and strengthens the underlying muscles to tighten the neck and under-chin area for a defined and lifted appearance.

Clinically Proven Outcomes

EmFace Submentum is backed by BTL Industries clinical data and MRI-confirmed studies demonstrating measurable improvements in submental fat reduction, collagen production, and skin elasticity.

Results

Most patients notice gradual improvement in jawline definition and under-chin fullness beginning after their first session, with continued refinement over the following weeks as collagen remodels and muscle tone develops. Optimal results typically appear after 4 sessions and can last 6 months to a year. A maintenance session every 6 months is recommended for long-term results.

At Ocean Aesthetics & Wellness, all EmFace Submentum treatments are performed under the supervision of Dr. Elizabeth Sugg, DDS, who has over 15 years of experience delivering aesthetic treatments to patients across Hilton Head Island and Bluffton.

Benefits

Rather than creating an artificial look, the EmFace method focuses on stimulating the body’s natural processes to regenerate a more youthful and toned appearance. Here are just a few reasons why you should choose EmFace Submentum for facial rejuvenation in Hilton Head.

Non-Invasive Treatment

Many choose EmFace for its comfort and convenience, delivering results without incisions, injections, or surgical risks.

Reliable Results

As we age, skin loses firmness and begins to sag. EmFace Submentum is clinically proven to reduce submental fat by 36% — confirmed by MRI scans — while simultaneously tightening the skin and strengthening the muscles of the neck and chin area.

Combines With Other Treatments

EmFace Submentum pairs naturally with EmFace Facial Contouring for patients who want comprehensive lifting above and below the jawline, and with Exion RF Ultrasound for patients seeking deeper skin hydration and firmness alongside contouring results.

Frequently Asked Questions About EmFace Submentum

Refined facial contouring and submentum tightening treatment Ocean Aesthetics & Wellness

Not at all. EmFace Submentum is a non-invasive, needle-free treatment that uses synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES™ muscle stimulation. You may feel gentle heat and muscle contractions in the chin and jawline, but the treatment is well tolerated and comfortable.

A surgical lift involves anesthesia, incisions, and stitches. While a surgical chin lift may offer more dramatic results, the recovery time may take weeks and the possibility of negative results. Cosmetic surgeries may sometimes have the appearance of pulled or plastic looking skin and features.

Yes! Emface Submentum can be paired with full-face EmFace treatments (forehead, cheeks, or eyes) for a more comprehensive lift and contour. We’ll personalize your treatment plan based on your goals.

Most patients see visible improvement after a series of 4 sessions, spaced about one week apart. We may recommend additional sessions depending on the level of submental fullness and skin laxity.

Some patients notice subtle contouring within a couple of weeks, with continued improvement over the next 6 to 12 weeks as collagen and muscle tone build. Results can last up to a year or more, especially with maintenance and a healthy lifestyle.

Each EmFace Submentum session takes about 20 minutes, making it quick, efficient, and easy to fit into your day.

There is no downtime. You can resume normal activities immediately—no swelling, bruising, or aftercare required. It’s a perfect lunchtime procedure.

Definitely. To maintain your results, we recommend a healthy skincare routine, regular sun protection, and a maintenance session every 3–6 months. Staying hydrated and supporting muscle tone with a healthy lifestyle also helps.

Ideal candidates are healthy adults with mild to moderate submental fullness, early skin laxity under the chin, or loss of jawline definition. It’s safe for all skin types and tones. A consultation will help determine if it’s right for your goals.
