What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
TMJ dysfunction impacts the temporomandibular joint (the hinge that connects your lower jaw to the skull), which is essential for chewing, speaking, and facial expressions. Pain can range from mild to severe and can affect one or both sides of the jaw. The condition can be caused by jaw misalignment, teeth grinding, arthritis, muscle tension, trauma, or repetitive jaw movements.
Common symptoms include jaw stiffness, pain, or tenderness, muscle spasms, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth. Many people also experience clicking or popping sounds, facial discomfort, headaches, and neck tension from overworked jaw muscles.
How Emface Works for TMJ
Emface combines synchronized radiofrequency (RF) technology with high-intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES™) to target the jaw muscles involved in TMJ dysfunction.
First, applicators are placed over the masseter, temporalis, and surrounding facial muscles. Next, the device delivers controlled muscle contractions while gently warming the tissue to improve circulation and responsiveness.
Functionally, Emface:
• Helps relax overactive muscles
• Retrains how jaw muscles contract and release
• Promotes better muscle balance and coordination
During treatment, patients typically feel gentle, rhythmic contractions in the jaw and face, accompanied by a soothing warmth. Sessions are painless, require no anesthesia, and have zero downtime.
Results vary based on individual anatomy, TMJ severity, and contributing factors such as stress or teeth grinding. However, many patients notice a reduction in jaw grinding and muscle tightness while experiencing improved general comfort over the course of several treatments. Keep in mind that outcomes are not guaranteed.

What To Expect During Your Emface for TMJ Treatment With Rivas Weight Loss Clinic
Emface for TMJ is a comfortable, in-office procedure designed to fit easily into your routine, with no downtime or recovery required.
Before your Session
Your provider will review your TMJ symptoms (including jaw tension and headaches) to confirm Emface is right for you. Photos may be taken to track your progress.
Any questions you have will be addressed, and your skin will be prepped using a coupling medium. You should remove any metal jewelry (including facial piercings) before your treatment begins.
During the Procedure
Emface applicators are placed along the jawline and over the temple area. You’ll feel gentle, rhythmic muscle contractions along with a mild, warming sensation as the radiofrequency energy works to improve circulation and muscle responsiveness.
It will begin at a low setting, and the intensity will gradually increase to a strong yet comfortable level. Most patients describe the session as relaxing.
After Treatment
There is little-to-no downtime. Some patients notice mild muscle fatigue or tightness, similar to how you’d feel after a light workout. Most people return to their daily activities directly after treatment.
Your provider may offer simple aftercare tips, such as staying hydrated, avoiding excessive chewing, and being mindful of clenching or grinding, to help maintain results.
Treatment Schedule
Each treatment session lasts around 20 minutes, and most patients need 4-to-6 sessions for optimal results. Treatments are usually spaced around a week apart, but your provider will tailor your treatment plan based on your symptoms and response.
How Much Does Emface for TMJ Cost?
The cost of Emface treatment for TMJ dysfunction depends on your individual treatment plan and the number of recommended sessions. During your consultation at Rivas Medical Weight Loss Center, your provider will give you a personalized estimate so you know what to expect.
