What Is EMFACE TMJ?

EMFACE TMJ is a specialized application of BTL’s EMFACE platform that uses HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) technology to treat TMJ disorder, jaw clenching (bruxism), and masseter hypertrophy. Unlike neuromodulators that paralyze muscles, EMFACE TMJ works by retraining and relaxing overactive jaw muscles through targeted electrical stimulation — completely non-invasively.

At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every EMFACE TMJ session is performed with precision placement of the HIFES applicators along the jaw. The technology delivers focused electrical stimulation to the masseter and temporalis muscles, encouraging them to release chronic tension and gradually retrain into a healthier resting state.

How EMFACE TMJ Works

The EMFACE TMJ treatment follows a comfortable, straightforward protocol:

Dr. Avaliani evaluates your jaw function, muscle tension, and TMJ symptoms to design a targeted treatment protocol

HIFES applicators are placed along your jaw over the masseter and temporalis muscles — no needles involved

Focused electrical stimulation penetrates deep into the jaw muscles, releasing chronic tension and spasms

Overactive jaw muscles gradually retrain into a relaxed resting state, reducing clenching and grinding habits

Over 4–6 sessions, TMJ pain decreases, jaw tension resolves, and masseter hypertrophy visibly reduces for a slimmer jawline

TMJ Conditions We Treat

TMJ Pain & Dysfunction

Chronic jaw pain, clicking, popping, and limited range of motion caused by temporomandibular joint disorder. EMFACE TMJ uses HIFES to relax the overactive muscles contributing to joint stress and discomfort.

Jaw Clenching (Bruxism)

Habitual daytime and nighttime teeth grinding and jaw clenching that causes tooth damage, jaw soreness, and tension headaches. HIFES technology retrains the masseter muscles to reduce clenching intensity and frequency.

Masseter Hypertrophy

Enlarged masseter muscles from chronic clenching that create a square, widened jawline. EMFACE TMJ relaxes and slims the masseter without neuromodulators, restoring a naturally contoured facial profile.

Tension Headaches from TMJ

Frequent headaches and migraines triggered by chronic jaw muscle tension and TMJ dysfunction. By releasing masseter and temporalis muscle tension, EMFACE TMJ addresses the root cause of TMJ-related headaches.

Jaw Fatigue & Stiffness

Jaw muscles that feel tired, stiff, or sore after eating, talking, or upon waking. HIFES stimulation helps fatigued jaw muscles recover proper function and return to a relaxed resting tone.

Cosmetic Jawline Slimming

A wider, squared-off jawline caused by enlarged masseter muscles from chronic clenching or bruxism. EMFACE TMJ relaxes the masseter over multiple sessions, resulting in a visibly slimmer, more V-shaped jawline contour.

Our EMFACE TMJ Treatment Options

Dr. Avaliani offers comprehensive TMJ treatment options. Here’s how EMFACE TMJ and complementary therapies work together:

EMFACE TMJ (HIFES)
BTL’s HIFES technology delivers focused electrical stimulation to the masseter and temporalis muscles, retraining them out of chronic clenching patterns. Each comfortable 20-minute session is completely non-invasive — no needles, no medication. Results build progressively over 4–6 treatments.
Complementary: TMJ Tox (BOTOX®)
For severe TMJ cases, neuromodulator injections can be combined with EMFACE TMJ for enhanced relief. BOTOX relaxes the masseter immediately while HIFES retrains the muscle long-term. Dr. Avaliani may recommend this combined approach for patients with intense clenching or significant masseter hypertrophy.
Combined TMJ Protocol
A personalized multi-session protocol combining EMFACE TMJ with at-home jaw exercises and behavioral modifications. Dr. Avaliani designs a comprehensive plan addressing both the muscular and habitual components of TMJ disorder for lasting relief and jawline refinement.

Does It Hurt?

Your Comfort Options (We Tailor This to You)

EMFACE TMJ is completely painless. The HIFES applicators deliver gentle electrical stimulation to the jaw muscles that feels like light tapping or tingling. There are no needles, no injections, and no heat. Each session lasts only 20 minutes, and most patients find the experience relaxing.

There is absolutely zero downtime after EMFACE TMJ. You can return to all normal activities immediately — eating, talking, working, and exercising. There is no soreness, swelling, or bruising. Many patients schedule sessions during their lunch break and return to work immediately.
