The Problem
When Your Face Starts to Feel the Weight of Time
Sagging, hollowing, and fine lines
As the years pass, facial muscles gradually weaken and lose tone while the skin's collagen and elastin network breaks down. The result is a face that appears heavier, flatter, or older than you feel — drooping brows, softened jawline contours, deepening nasolabial folds, and a loss of the lifted, youthful architecture that once defined your features. Traditional answers meant either accepting these changes or turning to needles, fillers, and surgery.
Emface by BTL Aesthetics changes the equation entirely. Using synchronized radiofrequency (RF) energy and High-Intensity Focused Electrical Stimulation (HIFES), it simultaneously heats the deep dermal layers to rebuild collagen and stimulates the underlying facial muscles to contract and strengthen — just like a workout for your face. The outcome is measurably firmer skin, more defined contours, and a naturally lifted appearance without a single injection or day of recovery.
Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Emface?
Synchronized RF and HIFES muscle stimulation
Emface is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive facial treatment developed by BTL Aesthetics — the same company behind Emsculpt Neo and Emsella. It is the first device to simultaneously deliver synchronized radiofrequency (RF) energy and High-Intensity Focused Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) specifically to the face, targeting both skin quality and underlying muscle tone in a single 20-minute session.
The RF component heats the dermis to 40–42°C, a thermal range proven to trigger neocollagenesis and elastin remodeling — the biological processes that rebuild skin's structural scaffolding. The HIFES component generates supramaximal muscle contractions in key facial muscle groups (frontalis, zygomaticus, and risorius), causing measurable hypertrophy and hyperplasia — the same mechanisms used in body contouring, now applied to the delicate muscles of the face. In clinical studies, patients achieved on average 37% reduction in wrinkles, 23% more lift, and 30% increase in muscle density after a standard protocol of 4–6 sessions.

Real Patient Results
Real Results
Most Emface patients complete 4–6 sessions over 2–3 weeks and notice initial improvement by session 3. The most dramatic lift and skin tightening occurs 60–90 days after the final treatment as collagen remodeling reaches peak effect. Results typically last 12–18 months, and many patients schedule an annual maintenance session to preserve their outcome. Individual results will vary.

Is Emface Right for You?
Who Is a Good Candidate for Emface?
Most healthy adults qualify
Emface is well-suited for adults who are beginning to notice facial aging and want to address it proactively — or for those who have tried injectables and want a needle-free alternative that works at the muscle level. Because it targets both skin quality and muscular tone, it is particularly effective for patients who feel their face has lost its youthful architecture without significant loose skin.
Ideal Candidates for Emface
- Adults aged 30–65 noticing early to moderate facial laxity or flatness
- Patients who prefer non-invasive options and wish to avoid needles or surgery
- Those looking to complement their cosmetic dental work with facial rejuvenation
- Individuals with realistic expectations for gradual, natural-looking improvement
- Patients seeking a no-downtime treatment they can schedule around work or family
- Those in good overall health with no active skin infections in the treatment zone
Who Should Wait or Avoid Emface
- Patients with implanted electronic devices (pacemakers, defibrillators, metal implants in the face)
- Those with active skin conditions, open wounds, or rashes in the treatment area
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
- Patients with a history of seizure disorders
- Anyone with recently placed dermal fillers in the treatment area (wait 4–6 weeks)
Dr. Shah conducts a thorough consultation before every Emface series to confirm candidacy and rule out any absolute contraindications. Your safety is always the first priority at Enclave Dental.
Your Treatment Journey
What Happens During an Emface Session
Preparation
Dr. Shah cleanses the treatment area and applies the Emface applicator pads to the targeted zones — no numbing cream required.
Treatment
Dr. Shah activates the synchronized RF and HIFES energies; you feel a warm, buzzing sensation as your facial muscles contract rhythmically for 20 minutes.
Post-Treatment
Dr. Shah removes the applicators and reviews your skin's response — there is no redness protocol, and you are ready to leave immediately.
Series Completion
Dr. Shah monitors your progress across all 4–6 sessions and schedules your results assessment 60–90 days post-treatment to document your lift and skin improvement.
Safety & Side Effects
Emface Side Effects & Safety
FDA-cleared and well-tolerated
Emface has an excellent safety profile based on clinical trials and real-world use. Because it is non-invasive and needle-free, the risk of infection, bruising, or tissue trauma is essentially eliminated. Most patients tolerate each session comfortably with no anesthesia or pre-treatment preparation.
Common (expected) effects: Mild warmth or heat sensation during treatment, transient redness or skin flushing that resolves within 30–60 minutes, and a slight muscle fatigue sensation similar to post-workout soreness lasting a few hours.
Uncommon effects: Temporary muscle twitching or tingling during or shortly after treatment; minimal swelling that resolves within hours.
Rare or serious effects: Emface is contraindicated for patients with implanted electronic devices. Patients with metal implants in the facial area should be evaluated individually by Dr. Shah before treatment. Skin burns are theoretically possible if protocols are not followed — at Enclave Dental, all treatments are performed directly by or under the supervision of Dr. Shah using manufacturer-validated parameters.
Dr. Shah will review your complete health history and any skin conditions or previous treatments before beginning your Emface series. If you experience unexpected or prolonged side effects, contact Enclave Dental at (407) 323-1010.

Emface FAQs
Everything you need to know
01 What is Emface and how is it different from Botox?
Emface is a non-invasive device that uses synchronized radiofrequency and electrical muscle stimulation to lift and tighten the face. Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscles to smooth wrinkles, Emface actually strengthens facial muscles and rebuilds skin collagen — addressing the root structural causes of facial aging without any injections.
02 Does Emface work? What kind of results can I expect?
Yes. Clinical studies show an average of 37% wrinkle reduction, 23% more facial lift, and 30% increase in facial muscle density after a standard series of 4–6 sessions. Results develop gradually over 60–90 days after your final treatment and typically last 12–18 months.
03 How much does Emface cost in Lake Mary, FL?
Emface pricing is personalized based on your treatment plan and the number of sessions recommended by Dr. Shah. Financing through Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit is available. Please contact us at (407) 323-1010 for a personalized quote at your consultation.
04 How many Emface sessions do I need?
The standard protocol is 4–6 sessions, typically spaced one to two per week over two to three weeks. Most patients notice improvement beginning after session two or three, with peak results 60–90 days after the final session. An annual maintenance session helps sustain results long-term.
05 What does Emface treat?
Emface can improve the forehead (brow lift, smoothing of lines), cheeks and mid-face (volume and lift), jawline (contour and jowl reduction), nasolabial folds (smile lines), and the under-chin area (submental firming and double chin reduction).
06 Are there any side effects from Emface?
Emface is well-tolerated with no significant downtime. Common effects include mild warmth during treatment and temporary skin flushing that resolves within an hour. Muscle soreness similar to post-exercise fatigue may last a few hours. Serious side effects are rare when treatment is performed by a qualified provider.
07 How is Emface different from Ultherapy?
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to heat deep structural tissue and is known for more intense discomfort and a longer results timeline (3–6 months). Emface uses RF and HIFES simultaneously, is painless or minimally uncomfortable, requires no downtime, and shows results in 60–90 days post-treatment. Emface also uniquely targets facial muscle tone, which Ultherapy does not.
08 Can I get Emface on the same day as my dental appointment?
In most cases, yes — Dr. Shah can coordinate your Emface session on the same day as a routine dental visit. This makes Enclave Dental uniquely convenient for patients who want to address both their smile and their facial aesthetics in one trip.
