Jowl Treatment

What are jowls?
The term “jowls” describes sagging, loose skin below the jawline, which most people develop with age. As we age the fat pads under our skin begin to diminish and gravity causes them to slide downwards. This results in the fat in the lower face sinking to below the jawline, creating jowls.

Aside from ageing, a few other factors can also contribute to developing jowls.

Lifestyle can play a part, for example, sun-damage and smoking can accelerate the ageing process, resulting in a loss of the skin’s elasticity.

Genetics can also play a part in the development of jowls; if your Mum or Dad, Grandmother or Grandfather had jowls, you are more likely to develop them too. It has also been suggested that sleeping on your front or side consistently may cause jowls to form over time. People often favour a side to sleep on, this often results in a more pronounced aged look on that side.

Treating Jowls
The good news is that there are a number aesthetic treatments available to treat jowls and sagging skin on and around the face and neck. From fat dissolving to remove excess bulk, dermal fillers along the lower face and jawline, Botox in the jowl, and neck region and skin boosting treatments to improve the tone and quality of the skin.

In addition we can add rejuvenating treatments for the skin for an overall firmer look, for example skin peels, Botox facial and micro needling treatments.

At consultation we will discuss all the options and decide the right
treatment or package for you.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions answered

Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to restore volume naturally lost during the ageing process and are used for softening deeper facial lines and wrinkles.

Dermal fillers can also be used to add volume to areas such as the lips, cheeks and under-eye area and can also be used for procedures such as non-surgical rhinoplasty.

Dermal Fillers can restore volume in the under eye, tear trough area to eradicate dark circles and tired looking eyes.

Lines caused by smoking around the mouth can be removed with dermal fillers into the lip area creating a more youthful look.

Treatment should be as pain free as possible. Anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment to numb the skin. All products used also contain an anaesthetic so there is minimal pain associated with the procedure.

During consultation an opportunity will be given to discuss fully all concerns regarding discomfort and the products used will be available for you to view to ensure you are comfortable prior to the treatment
starting.

Depending on the area being treated, it typically takes around 10-20 minutes to treat an area.

Results are visible right away. However, dermal fillers often look at their best around 2-3 weeks after treatment when the filler has settled.

No, typically dermal fillers will be a treatment with little or no down time. There may be some redness and swelling after treatment and in some cases there may be bruising, however this should be easily covered with make up. Lip augmentation often has slightly more swelling associated with the treatment but this is most often only noticeable to you.

Yes. hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body which minimises any risk for rejection or allergy. A full medical history should be taken prior to treatment to ensure you are suitable for treatment to further minimise risk.

However, there is a risk with all treatments so the most important thing to ensure before undertaking any treatment is to ensure that the clinic you attend is licensed, insured and the practitioner is fully trained, registered by a recognised regulatory body. All documents for insurance and registration purposes should be available for you to view upon request.

Before any treatment each client has a full free of charge consultation which give you an opportunity to discuss what you would like to achieve and an to agree a no obligation personalised treatment plan.
