Wednesday, August 5 · 5 to 7pm
Open House
The first look at Emvital, and the case for using it with what we already have.
Emvital is a functional laser that eases muscle and joint pain, stiffness, and spasm, and temporarily raises circulation where it is applied. Ours is the first and only one on the island. On August 5 we are opening the doors so you can see it, ask Sharon anything, and hear why we think it belongs alongside Emsculpt Neo and Emface rather than beside them.

What we are unveiling
Meet Emvital
Emvital is a 1064 nm near infrared laser from BTL, built on TriHIL technology. It reaches muscle and joint tissue below the surface and gently raises the temperature of the tissue it treats.
It is FDA cleared for temporary relief of muscle and joint pain, stiffness, minor arthritis pain, and muscle spasms, and for promoting muscle relaxation and temporarily increasing local circulation.
It runs two ways. The hands free applicator covers a broad area while you rest, with an ultrasonic sensor and an infrared camera holding the dose steady without anyone standing over you. The handheld applicator lets Sharon work one specific spot. A typical plan is four sessions a few days apart.
Our Emvital page covers all of it in full: how the technology works, what a session feels like, everything it can help with, and the treatment plan. Worth a read before you come.
Why this event exists
Blood flow first. Then the work.
Most practices talk about these machines one at a time. That is not how we use them, and it is not how BTL studied them.
A muscle that is tight, guarded, and short on blood supply does not respond well to being asked to work. Emvital changes those conditions first. It raises circulation in the area, eases spasm, and lets tight tissue let go. What comes next lands on tissue that is ready for it.
Step one
Emvital
Prepares the area
A 1064 nm laser that warms tissue below the surface, raising local circulation and easing spasm and stiffness.
Best for tight, guarded, painful tissue
Step two, body
Emsculpt Neo
Does the structural work
HIFEM drives contractions the muscle cannot produce on its own, with radiofrequency warming alongside it.
Best for muscle that has gone quiet
Step two, face
Emface
Same principle, on the face
HIFES with synchronized RF for the face, the jawline, and the TMJ protocol on the masseter.
Best for the jaw and the lower face
One prepares the area. The other conditions it. BTL ran a clinical trial on each pairing, and both are below.
The jaw study
Emvital with Emface, studied on the jaw
Jaw pain, clicking, clenching, and grinding usually trace back to a masseter that will not let go.
The muscle is tight, overworked, and short on circulation. For the TMJ protocol the Emface cheek applicators are repositioned over the temporomandibular joint and deliver HIFES with synchronized RF straight to the masseter and the muscles around it. The RF warming relaxes the muscle and raises local blood flow. The HIFES rebalances the pattern that keeps the jaw clenched. Emvital works the same area to ease spasm and stiffness.
Forty eight patients with TMJ pain received four Emvital and Emface treatments on the symptomatic area. At the one month follow up:
- 90.3%reported reduced TMJ pain
- 93.3%showed functional improvement in eating, chewing, yawning, and sleeping
- 86.7%reported easier mouth movement and a more relaxed jaw
- 4.2mmaverage improvement in comfortable jaw opening range
- 90.5%found the treatments comfortable, with no adverse events reported
Applegate B, Chandra T, Dhanani S, Wade J. Prospective multicenter single arm study, 48 patients aged 24 to 83, four combined Emvital and Emface treatments on the symptomatic TMJ area. One month preliminary results. Single arm design, no control group.
If you clench, grind, wake with a sore jaw, or have been told you need a night guard, this is the conversation to have on August 5.
The back study
Emvital with Emsculpt Neo, studied on the back
The back is where the sequence is easiest to feel.
Tight, guarded muscle does not want to be loaded, and loading it anyway is how people end up back where they started. Emvital takes the guard down. Emsculpt Neo then rebuilds what has gone quiet underneath it.
Twenty eight patients received four Emvital and four Emsculpt Neo treatments on the symptomatic back area. At the one month follow up:
- 77.8%reported less pain
- 88.5%reported functional improvement in walking, sitting, lifting, and bending
- 74.1%reported less pain when moving or bending
- 64.3%improved flexibility when bending sideways
- 86.1%found the treatments comfortable, with no adverse events reported
Schacter J, Abdulhamid M, Bracic I, Craner J, Hensel E. Prospective multicenter single arm study, 28 patients aged 28 to 81, four combined Emvital and Emsculpt Neo treatments on the symptomatic back area. IRB approved. One month preliminary results. Single arm design, no control group.
Average disability scores fell from 34.6 at baseline to 15.2 at the one month follow up.
Emvital on its own
Studied on the knee, against a control group
Two controlled trials looked at Emvital by itself in knee osteoarthritis. These are the papers with control groups, and both are published.
- 81.0%reduction in resting pain, in 72 patients given seven daily treatments
- 74.9%reduction in pain during palpation, same study
- 37.0%improvement toward a natural, confident, and stable gait pattern
- 43.8%decrease in knee pain in a separate randomized controlled trial of 60 patients
Angelova A, Ilieva EM. Pain Research and Management, 2016, DOI 10.1155/2016/9163618. 72 patients, laser group 35, control 37. Bettencourt F. Journal of Arthritis. Randomized controlled trial, 60 patients, laser group 30, control 30. Both studies used the BTL-6000, which is marketed as Emvital.
In both trials the control groups stayed essentially flat over the same period.
August 5, 5 to 7pm
What the evening covers
- Emvital up close, and how it helps with pain and mobility
- How Emvital, Emsculpt Neo, and Emface work individually and together
- The jaw and TMJ protocol, and why the masseter is usually the culprit
- What the combination studies found, and what they did not
- Which of the three fits what you are actually dealing with
- Event exclusive pricing, August 5 only
This is a first look, not a treatment night. Emvital will be here to see and Sharon will answer anything you want to ask. Come by any time between 5 and 7.
Before you come
Questions we are already getting
Do I have to stay the whole two hours?
No. Come by whenever works between 5 and 7. Reserving just means we know to expect you.
Do I need to buy anything?
No. Event pricing is there if you want it, and there is no pressure if you do not.
Is Emvital only for people in pain?
No. It is cleared to relax muscle, ease spasm and stiffness, and temporarily raise circulation, which covers most of what recovery asks for. Tight shoulders and stiff mornings count.
How is Emvital different from red light?
Red light works at the cellular level to support energy and repair. Emvital uses focused laser warmth to ease muscle and joint discomfort and help tight areas relax. They serve different purposes and can complement each other.
