Jowls & Jawline Treatment

NON-SURGICAL JOWLS AND JAWLINE TIGHTENING

You may have noticed your jaw line has lost its definition and shape. Your jawline may no longer be as shapely or tight with a loss of that youthful triangular shape. Furthermore, you might have lost volume in the chin area and under the jawline leading to skin hanging down in the form of jowls. This part of the ageing process can often be accompanied by lost volume in the cheeks and under the eyes.

Through cleverly placed injections, these problems can often be helped by our aesthetic medical professionals.

INJECTABLES AND DERMAL FILLERS FOR JOWLS AND JAWLINE TIGHTENING AND RE-SHAPING

Injections at key points around the jawline help to relax key muscles (specifically a thin muscle called the Platysma muscle). The effect is that muscles on the upper part of the face become stronger and this causes an effect over a 7-14 day period of lifting and tightening the jawline.

With gravity and ageing, the skin can start to sag and droop around the jawline leading to jowls. The appearance of jowls however can often be significantly reduced by injecting hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring sugar in the body) in the form of a dermal filler. This sculpts the jawline and adds definition, creating a slimmer appearance.

This replaces the volume which has been lost over time and so, in combination with injections, re-shapes the jawline line to restore a more youthful look.

The TREATMENT PROCESS

Step
1

PRIOR TO TREATMENT

The first step is to speak to one our medical practitioners from our Bristol or Cardiff clinics. You’ll be able to talk to them about why you’re considering dermal filler treatment, the likely costs, and when you’d like to have the treatment. If you feel ready, we’ll then book you in for your free consultation.

At your free consultation, one of our highly trained medical practitioners will discuss in detail about the results you want to achieve. Our medical practitioners will then guide you through your treatment options. Your medical practitioner will talk you through the various dermal filler products we use and which one – or which combination – will achieve the best results for you. We only offer temporary fillers because permanent fillers can cause long-term problems. You can discuss every aspect of your treatment with no obligation to go ahead. Our clinicians are extremely knowledgeable and highly trained and will happily answer any questions you have. If you feel ready to go ahead, we can book your treatment in for a date and time that suits you

TREATMENT

On the day of your treatment, you will be given some more information about your treatment and will also have an opportunity to ask any last-minute questions you may have. Consent forms will also be signed during this appointment. The initial stage involves applying numbing cream to the treatment areas. The new injection technique has allowed the treatment to be very comfortable and not necessarily need any topical anaesthetic. Once it has taken effect, the dermal filler is injected in precise locations into the skin. The practitioner will then massage to smooth the product. If required, your medical practitioner will use injections at key points around the jawline help to relax key muscles. The treatment takes about 45 – 60 minutes. However, due to the immediate swelling from the procedure, the final result will not be seen until about 3-4 weeks. A plan for regular follow-up treatments to maintain the initial result can be created for you.

POST TREATMENT

You’ll be able to leave the clinic as soon as your treatment has been completed, and you should be fine to go about your normal day-to-day activities. Any swelling or bruising usually disappears within 48 hours. We believe that the highest quality aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself, so we’re here to support you. Aftercare will be explained to you before you leave our clinic and you have the opportunity to ask us anything if you need. If you have any questions or concerns at all, you can always contact Dermalogic Aesthetics at any time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You’ll have the opportunity to ask your medical practitioner any questions as part of your consultation, but to start the ball rolling here are the answers to some that our patients most frequently asked questions.

What's caused my jowls in the first place?

The ageing process means we lose elasticity in our skin so jawline droops and sags. In addition, we lose volume through our fat pads starting to break down. Over time then the skin empties just like a balloon deflating. In combination with gravity, this then leads to the skin hanging down giving that jowling look. Using a dermal filler to replace volume then is a little like putting air back into the balloon pumping it back up.

How long with the procedure on my jawline take?

As with many procedures this all depends on the extent of correction required.

To replace improve the contouring of your jawline using dermal fillers, we would typically expect that your procedure will be safely and successfully completed in 45 – 60 minutes.

Does it hurt?

The area around your jawline tend to be less sensitive than some other parts of the face.

We use dermal fillers that contain built-in anaesthetic and we also apply a numbing cream to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. Most customers report little or no discomfort at all

What dermal fillers do you use?

The SkinViva aesthetic medical professionals can offer you a range of the all the market-leading dermal fillers for if you have a preference however our recommended product for the best results is Teosyal.

Are the results to my jawline permanent?

No, none of the treatments completed by the Dermalogic Aesthetics medical professionals are permanent. Dermal filler treatments (depending on the product you choose) will last anywhere from 6-18 months.

Our faces change naturally over time so we believe re-visiting for additional treatment on a regular basis is the best way to keep loving your look as you continue to age

When the results fade, will my jawline be worse than it was before?

No. Your appearance will steadily go back to how it was before you underwent the treatment.

When will I see an improvement to my jawline?

Replacing volume in your jaw area to reduce the effect of jowls is done using dermal filler which has instant results.
