EmFace for Submentum (Double Chin / Hand-phone
“Hand-phone chin” refers to the sagging of the chin area, often exacerbated by prolonged use of
mobile devices. Constant downward gazing at screens can weaken muscles and cause fat
accumulation, leading to a double chin or submental sagging. This phenomenon is commonly
associated with poor posture from phone usage.
How Can EmFace Help?
EmFace uses High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) and Radiofrequency (RF) to address muscle tone and skin laxity in the submentum (chin and neck area). By targeting the levator muscles
in the chin and jawline, EmFace strengthens and lifts these muscles, reducing the appearance of a double chin. RF energy helps tighten loose skin by stimulating collagen production, giving the chin a firmer and more defined contour.

Clinical Backing
Clinical studies support the effectiveness of EmFace in lifting and smoothing facial tissues. According to research by Brian M Kinney et al. published in the J Cosmet Dermatol (March 2024), the combination of High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES) and synchronised Radiofrequency (RF) has been shown to remodel facial soft tissue, providing a nonsurgical lift and enhanced skin quality. This study highlights the safety and efficacy of EmFace for those seeking a non-invasive option for facial rejuvenation.
