When it comes to non-surgical facial contouring, two popular options stand out: EmFace and Kybella. While both treatments aim to enhance facial aesthetics, they work in very different ways and are designed for distinct concerns.
If you’re considering a non-invasive way to enhance your natural features, understanding their differences can help you make the right choice. Let’s explore what EmFace and Kybella are, how they work, and how they compare to one another.
EmFace is an advanced, non-invasive facial treatment designed to lift, tone, and firm the skin using a combination of radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES™).
Unlike injectable treatments, EmFace improves facial contours by addressing both the skin and underlying muscles, offering a comprehensive solution for those wanting to enhance their facial features.
EmFace uses a dual-technology approach:
Because EmFace simultaneously targets both the skin and muscles, it provides a complete anti-aging effect with no downtime, no injections, and no discomfort. Many clients appreciate that they can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, making it a great option for those with busy schedules who want noticeable, natural-looking results.
Kybella is an injectable treatment primarily used to reduce excess fat beneath the chin (submental fat), commonly referred to as a “double chin.” It is composed of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance that helps break down and absorb fat cells.
When injected into the targeted area, Kybella breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, making the results long-lasting.
However, Kybella is specifically designed for fat reduction and does not tighten the skin or enhance muscle tone. While it can contour the jawline by removing fat, it does not address concerns related to sagging or skin laxity.
Additionally, because Kybella requires multiple injections, some individuals may experience swelling, tenderness, and bruising following each session. Recovery time varies from person to person, but noticeable swelling in the treatment area is common for several days to weeks after each session.
While both EmFace and Kybella contribute to facial contouring and reducing the appearance of double chins, their functions and benefits vary.
EmFace provides non-invasive, comprehensive facial contouring by improving both muscle tone and the appearance of the skin. It lifts and firms the face while enhancing natural facial structure, making it an excellent option for those looking to combat sagging skin, fine lines, and volume loss.
Kybella is solely focused on reducing fat under the chin. It does not improve muscle tone or tighten the skin, meaning that while it can contour the jawline, it may not be the best choice for those who also have concerns about skin laxity. Additionally, because it involves multiple injections per session, there is potential for post-treatment swelling and downtime.
Another important distinction is the treatment experience. EmFace is a comfortable 20-minute treatment that resembles a warm facial massage, with multiple sessions recommended for optimal results. There are no needles used, and no recovery time is needed. Kybella, however, requires multiple injections per session, and patients typically undergo a series of treatments to achieve the best results.
For those looking for a holistic, non-invasive approach that simultaneously lifts, tones, and improves skin texture, EmFace is a great option. Kybella may be best for those whose primary concern is reducing excess fat under the chin, but it does not provide the lifting or firming benefits that EmFace offers.
