Lift From Beneath
Skin tightening at Dr. Dayna Cassandra & Associates Cosmetic Dentistry is approached through the structure of the lower face, not only the surface of the skin. Around your mouth, jawline, and cheeks, aging skin is influenced by collagen, elastin, muscle tone, and the deeper support layers that help your face hold its shape.
Our Paramus office offers XERF and Emface for non-surgical skin tightening. XERF works deeper into the skin, including the SMAS layer, to help stimulate collagen production and support firmer skin. Emface works in tandem by lifting and toning facial muscles while RF energy supports collagen and elastin production. Together, they help create a smoother, more supported look without cosmetic surgery or significant downtime.

Skin tightening uses controlled heat energy to send heat deep into targeted layers of tissue, stimulate collagen production, and improve firmness over time. For patients with aging skin, sagging skin, or loose skin, or softened facial contours, non-surgical skin tightening can create a smoother appearance without a surgical lift.
At our practice, skin tightening focuses on XERF and Emface. XERF uses radiofrequency energy to treat deeper layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer. Emface adds muscle toning and RF-based collagen support. This pairing helps address the structural features of the mouth area and lower face in a way that looks natural and measured.
XERF is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat deeper layers of the skin. What makes it especially useful around the mouth and lower face is its ability to reach the SMAS layer, a deeper support layer that influences facial firmness and contour.
By sending controlled heat into these deeper layers, XERF helps trigger collagen production over time. As your skin responds, the treated area may begin to feel firmer and look more supported. It is a strong option for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want deeper skin tightening without surgery.
Emface is a non-surgical facial toning treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with facial muscle stimulation. The RF energy supports collagen and elastin production, while the muscle stimulation activates facial muscles involved in lift, tone, and expression.
Emface works well with XERF because it addresses another part of facial aging. XERF focuses on deeper skin support, while Emface helps lift and tone the muscles underneath. Together, they can create a more refreshed look around the mouth, cheeks, and jawline.
Tightening Loose Skin
Your treatment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin tone, facial contours, mouth-area structure, and goals. Dr. Cassandra and her team will determine whether XERF, Emface, or a combination of both makes the most sense for your face.
During XERF, controlled radiofrequency heat is delivered into deeper skin tissue. During Emface, applicators are placed on targeted facial areas to deliver RF energy and muscle stimulation. You may feel warmth, tightening, and muscle contractions, but the treatments do not require incisions, needles, or a long recovery.
Most patients complete 4 to 6 treatments over 4 to 6 weeks. Your exact plan depends on your skin laxity, facial structure, and desired outcome.
Lift, Tone, Tighten
Skin tightening can address mild to moderate skin laxity, loose skin, sagging skin, softened jawline definition, and early changes around the mouth, cheeks, and lower face. It may also improve the look of aging skin by supporting collagen and elastin production.
This treatment is best for patients who want a non-invasive skin-tightening option and are not ready for cosmetic surgery. It will not create the same result as a surgical lift, but it can help improve smoother skin, firmer skin, and a more supported appearance.
Skin tightening at our Paramus office is especially focused on the structural features of the mouth area, jawline, cheeks, and lower face. These areas tend to show changes when collagen decreases, elastin production slows, and facial muscles lose tone.
XERF helps treat deeper layers beneath the skin’s surface, while Emface supports the muscles that influence facial contours. When used together, they can help the lower face look more lifted and balanced.
Support Below The Skin
Skin tightening offers a non-surgical way to improve facial firmness and support gradual rejuvenation. Benefits may include:
For patients who want subtle refinement, XERF and Emface can support a youthful appearance without a dramatic change.
No More Loose Skin
You may be a candidate for skin tightening if you have mild to moderate skin laxity, sagging skin, loose skin, or early softening around your mouth, cheeks, jawline, or lower face. This treatment may also be a good fit if you want a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime.
Patients with significant loose skin, certain skin conditions, recently tanned skin, or goals better suited to cosmetic surgery may need another option. During your consultation, Dr. Cassandra will evaluate your skin, facial structure, and goals before recommending a treatment plan.
You may notice temporary redness, warmth, or mild tightness. Most patients return to normal activities right away.
Keep your skin care simple and avoid harsh products unless the office gives you different instructions. Hydration and gentle care can help your skin feel more comfortable.
Results appear gradually as your body builds more collagen and elastin. You may begin to notice tighter skin, smoother texture, and improved facial tone as your treatment series continues.
Improvements may continue after your final session as collagen remodeling progresses. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve your results.
Non-invasive cosmetic procedures like XERF and Emface create gradual, natural-looking improvement. You may notice firmer skin, better facial contours, smoother skin texture, and a more lifted look around the mouth and lower face.
Results appear gradually because your body needs time to build collagen and elastin. Most patients see the best improvement after a full treatment series.
Most patients complete 4 to 6 treatments over 4 to 6 weeks. While almost every patient requires multiple treatments, your plan may vary based on your skin laxity and goals.
XERF uses radiofrequency heat to reach deeper skin layers, including the SMAS layer, where it helps stimulate collagen production and support firmer skin over time.
Emface uses RF energy and facial muscle stimulation to help build collagen and elastin while toning the muscles that support facial lift and expression.
There is usually little to no downtime. Temporary redness, warmth, or tightness may happen after treatment.
Results appear gradually over several weeks as collagen and elastin production increases and facial tone improves.
No. Non-surgical skin tightening can improve mild to moderate skin laxity, but significant loose skin may require a surgical lift or other cosmetic treatments.
Yes. XERF and Emface work well together because XERF supports deeper skin tightening while Emface tones facial muscles and supports collagen and elastin.
If the skin around your mouth, cheeks, jawline, or lower face is starting to feel less firm, skin tightening with XERF and Emface may be a thoughtful next step.
