A radiant smile relies on the strength and vitality of the entire face. As we age, our facial muscles and skin naturally weaken. This leads to sagging skin, a loss of definition, and changes in facial contours that ultimately affect how your smile looks and functions.
At Dr. Dayna Cassandra & Associates, skin tightening is considered a natural extension of oral health and complete wellness. We are proud to offer Emface, a breakthrough non-surgical skin tightening therapy that treats the face holistically. By addressing the root causes of aging skin, specifically muscle atrophy and the loss of density, we provide a face and neck procedure that restores the foundation of your smile without the need for cosmetic surgery.
At Dr. Dayna Cassandra & Associates, we proudly provide exceptional general and cosmetic dental care to patients in Paramus, Westwood, Washington Township, Oradell, Woodcliffe Lake, Parkridge, Montvale, Maywood, Hackensack, River Edge, Fair Lawn, Allendale, Ridgewood, HoHoKus, Waldwick, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Ramsay, Mahwah, Teaneck, Englewood, Alpine, and throughout Bergen County, NJ and Rockland County, NY. Your smile is our priority, no matter where you are!
Emface is the first device of its kind to treat both skin laxity and facial muscles simultaneously. Unlike traditional skin tightening treatments that only heat the skin’s surface, Emface works from the inside out to restore structure.
It utilizes advanced technology that combines Synchronized Radiofrequency (RF) to tighten skin with HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) to tone the lifting muscles of the face. This dual-action approach helps lift sagging skin, improve skin elasticity, and rebuild the density of the skin tissue. The result is a harmonized, youthful appearance that supports your dental aesthetics.
Choosing a non-surgical procedure allows you to enhance your appearance without interrupting your life in Paramus, NJ.
Framing Your Best Smile
We find that the best candidates for this treatment are patients experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want to avoid the risks of a surgical lift. You might notice loose skin along the jawline, a heavier brow, or simply a lack of firmness that makes you look tired. It is an excellent option for those who want to tighten loose skin and improve muscle tone, preventatively or restoratively.
However, it is important to have realistic expectations. Patients with excessive sagging skin, deep structural volume loss, or those needing fat reduction or eyelid surgery might need to discuss whether a non-invasive skin approach will meet their goals. We will help you determine if this path will achieve optimal results for you.

The Clear Choice For Comfort
We believe in educating our patients on how different modalities work to treat deeper layers of the face. While we prioritize Emface for its ability to stimulate collagen production and muscle density, it helps to understand how it compares to other options.
Many patients ask about ultrasound skin tightening (often known as Ultherapy treatment). These devices use focused ultrasound energy or ultrasound waves to heat deep tissue. While effective for some, ultrasound skin treatments can be quite uncomfortable. Emface offers a pain-free alternative that treats muscle and skin, whereas ultrasound energy focuses primarily on the fibrous tissue.
Similarly, laser skin tightening uses laser energy to heat water in the skin. While laser therapy and laser resurfacing are excellent for texture, they often require downtime and can cause peeling. Emface bypasses the epidermal layers entirely, avoiding the temporary redness associated with aggressive laser skin tightening. We may also discuss complementary options like Intense Pulsed Light, often used for pigmentation or hair removal, to further enhance skin tone alongside your tightening plan.
Comfort From Start To Finish
Your experience begins with a consultation at our Paramus, NJ office to review your skin conditions and goals. Because Emface is a non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA, it is safe for most patients. We will assess your skin quality to see if you will require multiple treatments, typically a series of four, to reach your desired outcome.
The skin tightening procedure itself is simple, comfortable, and efficient. We place applicators on your cheeks and forehead. You will feel a warming sensation as the radiofrequency helps stimulate collagen, combined with the feeling of muscle contractions. There is no pain, and the session takes around 20 minutes.

Only Better With Time
One of the most significant advantages of this cosmetic procedure is that there is absolutely no downtime. You may experience very mild redness immediately after the session, but this fades quickly. You can return to your daily routine the moment you leave our office.
Because the treatment works by triggering collagen and elastin production, patience is key. You may feel a natural lift right away, but the real change happens over the few weeks and months following your series. As your body produces more collagen, you will notice firmer skin, a smoother appearance, and improved facial definition that peaks around 90 days after your final visit.
Value Beyond The Surface
The cost of skin tightening reflects the sophistication of the technology and its dual benefit for aesthetics and orofacial health. We view this as an investment in the longevity of your smile. During your visit, we will provide a transparent breakdown of your treatment plan, which may include additional treatments like lip fillers or Botox if you wish to further refine your look.

Where Health Meets Beauty
You might wonder why a restorative dentist is the right choice for cosmetic treatments like skin tightening. The answer is simple: anatomy. Dr. Dayna Cassandra is an expert in the architecture of the face. We understand that tightening loose skin around the mouth and jawline is essential for framing your restorative dental work. We don't just "fix teeth"; we care for the entire person. By using Emface, we ensure that the muscles and skin supporting your smile are as healthy and vital as the teeth themselves.

Your smile deserves a beautiful, strong frame. If you are ready to see how non-surgical skin tightening can improve your confidence and oral health, contact Dr. Dayna Cassandra & Associates today. Let us help you achieve tighter skin and a refreshed look that feels authentic to you.
