Facial rejuvenation shouldn't focus on the skin alone. As we age, collagen gradually declines, while the facial muscles beneath the skin also lose tone and support. Together, these changes contribute to wrinkles, sagging, softer facial contours, and a less defined jawline.
Traditional anti-aging approaches typically focus on one aspect at a time rather than the full aging process.
- Creams and skincare → support the skin surface and skin barrier
- LED and laser light therapy → use photobiomodulation (PBM) to support skin rejuvenation
- EMS → uses controlled electrical impulses to stimulate targeted facial muscles
Because laser and EMS target different layers of facial aging, they complement rather than replace each other. Light therapy primarily supports skin rejuvenation, while EMS is designed to improve facial muscle tone and definition. The JOVS 6D Laser & EMS Mask combines both technologies in one device to support more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
What JOVS 6D Laser & EMS Mask Can Do?
Laser therapy and EMS are not designed to replace one another but target different layers of facial aging. Light therapy primarily supports skin health through photobiomodulation, while EMS works by stimulating facial muscles that contribute to facial support and contour. Rather than choosing one or the other, combining both technologies makes it possible to address skin aging and muscle-related facial aging in the same treatment.
That is the idea behind the JOVS 6D Laser & EMS Therapy Mask. It combines multi-wavelength laser light therapy with a 10-electrode EMS system to simultaneously support skin rejuvenation and facial muscle stimulation in one wearable device:
- Multi-wavelength light therapy, including 660 nm red light, 850 nm near-infrared, 940 nm NIR, 1064 nm long-wave infrared, and 510–1940nm broad-spectrum Light designed to support skin rejuvenation.
- EMS stimulation, delivered through a 10-electrode system, designed to stimulate targeted facial muscles.
Multi-Wavelength Light Therapy
Instead of treating only the skin or only the muscles, the JOVS 6D integrates both technologies into a single treatment, making at-home facial rejuvenation more complete and convenient.
Laser Technology:
660nm Red Light:
- Supports a brighter-looking complexion
- Helps improve the appearance of dull skin
- Supports a more even-looking skin tone
- Designed for surface-level skin rejuvenation
850nm Near-Infrared Light:
- Reaches deeper than visible red light
- Supports collagen-related skin rejuvenation
- Helps improve the appearance of fine lines
- Supports firmer-looking skin and facial contours
940nm NIR Light
- Designed to support circulation
- Helps improve the appearance of puffiness
- Supports a healthier-looking complexion
- Complements other wavelengths in the multi-wavelength light system
1064nm Long-Wavelength Infrared Light
- Designed for deeper-reaching light therapy
- Supports deeper-level anti-aging care
- Helps address the appearance of laxity
- Complements the other wavelengths for a more comprehensive treatment
LED Technology:
510–1940nm Broad-Spectrum Light
- Designed to complement the targeted wavelengths
- Supports overall skin revitalization
- Helps create a more comprehensive light-based treatment
Which Facial Muscles Does JOVS 6D Target?
Facial muscles provide structural support beneath the skin. As muscle tone gradually declines with age, the cheeks may appear flatter, the jawline less defined, and facial contours softer. The JOVS 6D Laser EMS Mask uses a 10-electrode EMS system to stimulate multiple key muscle groups across the face rather than focusing on a single treatment area.
Frontalis / Forehead Area
- Supports the upper facial structure
- Loss of tone may contribute to a heavier-looking upper face
- Targeted stimulation is designed to activate this area
Orbicularis Oculi / Eye Area
- Plays an important role in eyelid and eye-area movement
- Changes around this area can contribute to a tired or aged appearance
- EMS stimulation targets this area as part of the facial lifting routine
Zygomatic / Cheek Area
- Supports the mid-face
- Reduced muscle tone can contribute to a less defined cheek contour
- Targeted EMS stimulation is designed to activate the cheek area
Depressor / Lower-Face Area
- Contributes to lower-face movement and facial expression
- Changes in muscle tone and supporting tissues can affect the appearance of the jawline
- Targeted EMS helps incorporate the lower face into the treatment
What Does Laser & EMS Therapy Do on Facial Aging?
The benefits of laser therapy
Research on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) shows that specific wavelengths can support collagen remodeling, improve skin texture, and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time. Studies have reported improvements in fine lines, elasticity, and overall skin rejuvenation with appropriately designed laser treatments.
The benefits of ems therapy
EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) uses controlled electrical pulses to stimulate facial muscles. It mainly targets the zygomaticus major, the muscle that helps lift the corners of the mouth and support the cheeks. Regular stimulation may improve muscle tone, giving the face a firmer and more lifted appearance.
Clinical evidence is promising. In a randomized controlled trial involving 108 healthy women, 12 weeks of facial NMES increased zygomaticus major muscle thickness by 18.6%, with more than 80% of participants reporting improvements in facial firmness, tone, and lift compared with fewer than 5% in the control group.
Laser Alone vs EMS Alone vs Laser + EMS
| Feature | Laser Therapy | EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) | Laser + EMS |
| Primary target | Skin (dermis) | Facial muscles | Skin + facial muscles |
| Main purpose | Stimulates collagen production and improves skin quality | Contracts facial muscles to improve tone and contour | Addresses both skin aging and muscle laxity |
| Best for | Fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, elasticity | Facial sagging, jawline definition, muscle tone | Comprehensive anti-aging and facial rejuvenation |
| How it works | Delivers concentrated light energy to the skin | Sends low-level electrical impulses to facial muscles | Combines laser therapy with EMS in one treatment |
| Targets facial lifting | Primarily by improving skin firmness | By stimulating facial muscles | Supports both skin firmness and muscle lifting |
FAQs about Laser & EMS Facial Aging
Is Laser better than EMS?
They can't be directly compared because they target different layers of facial aging. Laser works on the skin, while EMS stimulates facial muscles to improve tone and definition. They complement each other rather than compete.
Is JOVS 6D Laser & EMS Mask safe?
Yes. The JOVS 6D Laser & EMS Mask builds on the proven LLLT technology of the JOVS 4D Laser Mask by adding EMS for facial muscle stimulation. It is FDA-cleared and designed for safe at-home use when used as directed.
Does Laser & EMS masks work better than LED & EMS masks?
Yes. Laser generally works better than LED for skin rejuvenation because it delivers light more efficiently and penetrates deeper into the skin. EMS is different—it doesn't replace light therapy but complements it by stimulating facial muscles to improve firmness and contour. Devices that combine laser and EMS can therefore address both the skin and the underlying muscles for more comprehensive anti-aging support.
Is it suitable for men?
Yes. Laser, LED, and EMS facial devices are suitable for both men and women.
Conclusion
Facial aging isn't just about the skin. As we age, changes occur in both the skin and the muscles that help support facial structure. While laser therapy supports healthier-looking skin through photobiomodulation, EMS helps stimulate facial muscles involved in facial tone and contour.
By combining these two complementary technologies, the JOVS 6D Laser & EMS Therapy Mask offers a more comprehensive approach to at-home facial rejuvenation than treating either layer alone.
