Beyond Botox: How EMFACE Treats the Muscles, Not Just the Wrinkles

For decades, the "gold standard" for anti-aging has been to freeze the face. We see a wrinkle, we inject a toxin (like Botox) to paralyze the muscle underneath.

But while freezing a muscle smooths the skin temporarily, it ignores the root cause of facial aging: Muscle Atrophy.

As we age, our facial muscles lose density and volume. Without that structural support, the skin starts to sag. At Phelts Chiropractic, we believe in building the face, not freezing it. That is why we offer EMFACE, a revolutionary, needle-free treatment that restores your anatomy naturally.

A Breakthrough for Pain: It is not just about aesthetics. EMFACE is FDA-cleared for the treatment of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction.

The Science: Why Tone Matters

EMFACE is the first device to treat both facial skin and muscles simultaneously. It uses two synchronized energies:

Sync RF (Radiofrequency): Heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin, smoothing wrinkles.
HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation): Selectively contracts the delicate facial elevators (the lifting muscles).

Think of it as a workout for your face. By increasing resting muscle tone, EMFACE restores the volume lost to aging, lifting the brows, cheeks, and jawline naturally.

FDA-Cleared Relief for TMJ

Your facial muscles do more than just smile; they control your jaw, your chewing, and even your head posture.

Many patients suffer from chronic jaw pain, clicking, or tension headaches caused by TMJ dysfunction. EMFACE is now FDA-cleared to treat this condition. By rehabilitating the neuromuscular control of the facial muscles, it helps reduce the strain and imbalance that causes TMJ pain.

The Phelts Difference: Applied Kinesiology

While the technology is powerful, treating TMJ requires precision. If one side of your jaw is pulling harder than the other, it creates pain and asymmetry.

At Phelts Chiropractic, we use Applied Kinesiology (AK) to ensure your face is balanced before we build it.

Facial Muscle Testing: Dr. Phelts tests the muscles of mastication (chewing) and expression. We identify which muscles are neurologically inhibited (weak) or hypertonic (too tight).
The Neurological Reset: Using AK corrections, we restore normal tone to muscles that may be contributing to jaw clicking, grinding, or headaches.
The Treatment: Once the muscles are balanced, we apply the EMFACE applicators. This strengthens the muscles in their correct firing pattern, offering both a cosmetic lift and therapeutic relief.

Complete Regenerative Care: EMSELLA and EMSCULPT NEO

True anti-aging requires a whole-body approach. At Phelts Chiropractic, we pair EMFACE with our body-strengthening technologies:

EMSELLA: You can't have a lifted face with a weak foundation. This "throne" for pelvic health uses HIFEM energy to strengthen the pelvic floor.
- Sexual Health: It is a game-changer for intimacy. For men, it helps treat erectile dysfunction. For women, it improves vaginal tightness, increases lubrication, and decreases sexual discomfort.
- Function: It is FDA-cleared for urinary incontinence, effective for fecal incontinence, and improves gait (walking pattern) by stabilizing the pelvis.
EMSCULPT NEO: While EMFACE lifts the face, Emsculpt Neo sculpts the body. It combines HIFEM and RF to reduce fat and build muscle. We use Applied Kinesiology here as well, ensuring that muscles with low tone are activated for better results.

A Natural Lift, A Healthier You

You don't have to choose between looking younger and living pain-free. With EMFACE and Applied Kinesiology, you can lift your face, reduce wrinkles, and treat your TMJ at the source.
