A Perfect Complement to Implant Care

Why NorthStar Offers Emface

At NorthStar Implant Dentistry, we restore smiles — and we believe that a restored smile deserves a restored face to go with it. Emface is the most advanced non-invasive facial rejuvenation technology available today, and it is a natural extension of the same commitment to precision, technology, and patient outcomes that defines everything we do.

For patients who want to look as confident and youthful as their new smile makes them feel — without needles, fillers, surgery, or recovery time — Emface is the answer. And for the significant percentage of dental patients who are already committed to their health and appearance, offering Emface at NorthStar means they can address both concerns in one trusted, familiar environment.

What Is Emface?

Two Technologies. One Revolutionary Treatment.

Emface, developed by BTL Aesthetics — the company behind the globally acclaimed Emsculpt body-contouring platform — is the world's first treatment to simultaneously address both the skin and the underlying facial muscles in a single, non-invasive session. This dual-action approach sets Emface apart from every other facial rejuvenation technology on the market.

Traditional anti-aging treatments target either the skin (fillers, Botox, laser) or the muscles (surgical facelift) — but never both at once, and never without needles, incisions, or significant recovery. Emface changes this equation entirely by combining two synchronized energy technologies that work in concert to lift every layer of the face from the deepest muscle to the outermost skin — producing a natural, comprehensive result that looks like a refreshed, younger version of yourself.

The Technology

Synchronized RF + HIFES — How It Works

Synchronized Radiofrequency (RF)

Precisely calibrated radiofrequency energy is delivered to the dermis, heating the skin's deeper layers to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This produces progressive tightening and smoothing of the skin surface — reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall skin texture, tone, and radiance.

High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation (HIFES™)

HIFES technology selectively activates and contracts the specific facial muscles targeted by the treatment — the frontalis, zygomaticus, and risorius — in a controlled, repeatable pattern that is far more efficient than voluntary muscle exercise. These contractions increase muscle density and tone, restoring the structural support of the face and producing a measurable lifting effect.

Synchronized Delivery

What makes Emface unique is that both technologies operate simultaneously in a synchronized protocol — meaning the muscle is being toned and lifted at the same moment the skin is being tightened and rejuvenated. This synergistic effect produces results greater than either technology could achieve independently, and in far less time.

Treatment Areas

Where Emface Lifts and Transforms

Forehead

HIFES tones the frontalis muscle to elevate brows and open the upper face, while RF smooths forehead lines and restores a refreshed, more awake appearance.

Cheeks

Toning the zygomaticus and risorius muscles restores mid-face volume and definition, lifting sagging cheeks and restoring the natural contours of youth.

Jawline

Improved muscle tone and skin tightening along the jaw defines the jawline, reduces jowling, and creates a cleaner, more sculpted lower face profile.

Under the Chin (Submentum)

The Emface Submentum applicator targets the neck and under-chin area — the only non-invasive treatment to address every layer from muscle to skin in this notoriously difficult-to-treat zone.

Eye Area

Dedicated eye applicators firm the framework around the eyes, helping to lift drooping eyelids, reduce under-eye puffiness, and address crow's feet.

Overall Facial Lifting

The combined effect of RF and HIFES across all treatment areas produces a comprehensive, whole-face lifting result — natural-looking, symmetrical, and progressively improving over 6–12 weeks.

Clinically Proven Results

The Numbers Speak for Themselves

Emface's efficacy is supported by nine independent clinical studies — a level of scientific validation that is rare in the aesthetics industry. Across these studies, participants who completed the recommended treatment course of four sessions experienced, on average:

  • 37% reduction in wrinkles — measured objectively using standardized skin analysis photography
  • 30% increase in facial muscle tone — quantified using ultrasound imaging and MRI measurement of muscle density
  • 23% lifting effect — verified through standardized photographic comparison and patient-reported outcomes

Optimal results are typically seen 6–12 weeks after the final session, as the body's natural collagen production and muscle remodeling processes continue to work. Results last six months to one year, with maintenance treatments recommended every six to twelve months to sustain the lifting and tightening effect over time.

What to Expect

Your Emface Experience at NorthStar

Each Emface session takes approximately 20 minutes — making it genuinely compatible with a busy professional schedule. Hands-free applicator patches are placed on the targeted areas of the face, settings are calibrated to your individual anatomy, and treatment begins. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, gentle tingling combined with mild muscle twitching — entirely comfortable and requiring no anesthesia or numbing cream.

There is no downtime whatsoever. The vast majority of patients apply makeup, exercise, and return to work immediately after their session. A small number of patients experience minor, transient redness that resolves within minutes to hours. The standard treatment protocol consists of four sessions, each scheduled one week apart. Additional sessions can be added for patients seeking enhanced results or who are addressing more significant aging concerns. Our team will conduct a thorough consultation before your first session to assess your facial anatomy and customize your treatment plan.

Who Is a Candidate?

Is Emface Right for You?

Emface is an excellent option for men and women of virtually any age who are looking to address or prevent common signs of facial aging — including sagging cheeks, a softened jawline, drooping brows or eyelids, a double chin, or general loss of facial definition and firmness. It is particularly well-suited for patients who prefer to avoid injectable treatments, are not ready for surgical intervention, or want to maintain and extend the results of prior aesthetic procedures.

Emface can be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with other non-invasive approaches. Importantly, it does not interfere with existing Botox or filler results — in fact, many aesthetic providers use Emface in conjunction with injectables to achieve a more comprehensive and longer-lasting outcome. As with any aesthetic treatment, a consultation with our team is the best way to determine whether Emface is appropriate for your specific anatomy, goals, and expectations.

Pair Emface with HydraFacial for Complete Facial Rejuvenation

For patients seeking the most comprehensive non-invasive facial transformation available, we recommend combining Emface with our HydraFacial service. While Emface addresses the structural layers of the face — lifting muscles and tightening skin — HydraFacial perfects the surface: deeply cleansing, extracting impurities, and infusing the skin with nourishing serums for an immediate, radiant glow. Together, these two treatments address every dimension of facial health and beauty — from the deepest muscle to the outermost skin — without a single needle, incision, or day of recovery.
