How can I reduce my jowls non-surgically?

There are many options for non-surgical jowl lift treatments. The choice will depend on individual needs and suitability;

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can be injected into the areas surrounding the jowls to disguise the jowls and give the appearance of a straighter jawline. Also, by supporting the mouth corners with dermal fillers, it is possible to turn the mouth corners back to a more neutral or upwards direction. Various dermal fillers can be used for the above purposes.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections can help reduce the appearance of jowls and prevent further worsening of the jowls by relaxing the muscles that pull down on the face. This involves targeting muscles such as the;

Depressor anguli oris (or DAO), which pulls down the mouth corners

Platysma muscles of the neck, which are attached to the lower face and act to pull it down Anti-wrinkle injections reduce the downward pull of these muscles and allow a relative increase in the strength of the muscles that pull the cheeks and face upwards.

Radiofrequency needling

Radiofrequency needling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to help stimulate collagen production. A group of fine needles enter the skin, and radiofrequency energy is fired through the tips of these needles. This is repeated to cover the treatment area. The micro-injury from the needles and radiofrequency energy induces new collagen in the skin through the healing process. This produces new collagen and thicker and firmer skin to lift and reduce the appearance of jowls.

Injectable collagen-stimulating treatments

Products can be injected into the skin to induce the production of type I and III collagen fibres. This improves the quality and firmness of the skin and may help to lift the jowls.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to target specific layers in the skin and below the skin to help tighten and lift the face. Unlike diagnostic ultrasound, Ultherapy focuses ultrasound energy into single points, causing significant heating at that point. Consequently, this leads to an induction of repair mechanisms and stimulation of new collagen. This helps to firm and lift the tissues of the face and improve jowls.

Thread Lifts

A thread lift is a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. They involve using specialised threads to help lift the skin on the face and reduce the appearance of jowls. Interestingly, the threads are often made from the same substance as the collagen stimulating injections (mentioned previously) and can also help firm skin by producing new collagen. Again, the treatment is not comparable to a true facelift but does help to lift the skin to a degree.
