Relief, Function, and Facial Support — Without Surgery
EMFACE offers a non-invasive TMJ protocol designed to support jaw comfort, muscle relaxation, mobility, and facial balance.
EMFACE is the first non-invasive therapy that works both functionally and aesthetically. It treats TMJ dysfunction, relieves associated pain and muscle spasms, supports better jaw mobility, and improves facial appearance at the same time.
What Is EMFACE for TMJ?
A Non-Invasive Approach to Jaw Muscle Support
If you experience jaw tension, clenching, limited opening, facial tightness, or TMJ-related discomfort, EMFACE may offer a comfortable, hands-free treatment option designed to support jaw function and everyday comfort.
How EMFACE Works
Two energies. One functional treatment.
Radiofrequency
Elevates tissue temperature, helping improve local circulation and relieve symptoms associated with muscle spasms.
HIFES Muscle Stimulation
Activates the jaw muscles to help treat TMJ dysfunction, ease associated pain, support muscle re-education, and maintain or increase jaw range of motion.
Clinical Findings
In BTL's clinical summary of a 25-patient series, every patient (100%) reported improved jaw relaxation after completing a series of four 20-minute EMFACE TMJ treatments, spaced 2 to 14 days apart.
