Lift & Define: Expert Jowl Treatment for a Sculpted Jawline

Jowls refer to sagging skin along the jawline and lower face, which develop over time due to ageing, loss of collagen, and decreased skin elasticity. As facial volume shifts and the skin becomes less firm, jowls can create a tired or aged appearance. While this is a natural part of ageing, non-surgical treatments can help restore definition and lift the jawline for a more youthful look.

At Karratha Medical Centre, Dr Amir Waly provides expert treatment options to improve the appearance of jowls. Using advanced techniques, these treatments help tighten the skin, restore lost volume, and enhance jawline definition without the need for surgery.

How Jowl Treatments Work

Jowls develop due to a combination of skin laxity, fat redistribution, and reduced collagen production. Treatment options are designed to target these concerns by lifting and firming the lower face, enhancing jawline structure, and improving overall skin tone.

Injectable dermal fillers help restore lost volume and provide subtle lifting effects. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be placed strategically along the jawline and cheeks to reduce sagging and create a more contoured appearance. These treatments also help stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting improvements.

Muscle relaxant injections can be used to improve jawline definition by relaxing the platysma muscle, which contributes to downward pulling on the lower face. This technique, often referred to as the “Nefertiti lift,” helps refine the contours of the jawline and reduce the appearance of jowls.

Skin tightening treatments, such as radiofrequency or ultrasound-based therapy, stimulate collagen production and promote gradual firming of the skin. These treatments are ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who prefer a non-invasive approach to facial rejuvenation.

Fat-dissolving injections may be suitable for individuals with excess fat accumulation along the jawline. These injections break down fat cells in targeted areas, enhancing the definition of the lower face and reducing heaviness in the jowl area.

A combination of treatments may be recommended for optimal results. A professional assessment ensures that the most appropriate approach is chosen based on individual skin concerns and treatment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do jowl treatments last?

Results vary depending on the treatment used. Dermal fillers typically last 12 to 18 months, while skin-tightening procedures provide progressive improvements over several months.

Is treatment for jowls painful?

Most treatments involve minimal discomfort. A numbing agent may be applied before injections to enhance comfort, and non-invasive skin-tightening treatments are generally well tolerated.

Are there any side effects?

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur after injections, but these effects usually resolve within a few days. Skin-tightening treatments have little to no downtime, making them a convenient option for many individuals.

When will I see results?

Injectable treatments provide immediate or gradual improvements, while collagen-stimulating treatments may take a few months to show full effects as the skin naturally remodels.

Can jowl treatments replace surgery?

Non-surgical treatments offer effective improvements for mild to moderate jowls. However, individuals with significant skin laxity may require surgical intervention for more dramatic results. A consultation helps determine the most suitable approach.
