Sagging jawline is a common concern for
many men and women. They do not want major surgery but are looking for some
tightening and lifting to make their jawline more defined. Thanks to modern
technology we are able to achieve this in a number of different ways. We can
achieve a very pleasing profile with our treatments.
What
causes jawline sagging, appearance of jowls and loss of definition in this
area?
A number of changes occur due to ageing,
sun-damage, smoking and also genetics contributes to our looks in a major way.
Did you know that changes are not only skin deep but even our bones lose volume
with age? The jawbone also recedes resulting in loss of bony support and
combined with loss of fat, muscle, skin thinning and gravity causes sagging in
this area of face and neck.
How
can you help me achieve a tighter jawline and neck?
Thanks to modern technology, our
treatments, sun-protection and awareness; we find people are maintaining their
youthful looks for longer. Our journey
begins with a consultation and assessment to determine causes of your
particular concern so that a customized treatment plan can be devised. We can
usually offer you a choice. Our treatment recommendation may include one or
more of the following-
Radiofrequency
skin tightening
These devices can tighten the skin without
any pain or discomfort and requires no preparation with numbing creams. It
takes about 40-45 minutes to treat the whole face, and only 10-15 minutes to
treat smaller areas such as around the eyes. Not only do we help wrinkling, it
also decreases pore size, brings out a better texture, and a better appearance
to the skin. Unlike lasers, it can be used on all skin colours, even very dark
skin.
Patients love this treatment because
they are comfortable without pain medication or numbing creams. With this
technique, patients see some instant improvement with increased collagen
regeneration and skin firmness that becomes visible over the next 3 to 4 months
and continues for up to 12 months.
You can walk in and out without
slightest interruption in your busy life style, enjoy a nice, relaxing yet
effective treatment and continue with your normal activities. This treatment is
great for firming up your jawline if you do not have a lot of lose skin. We do have some special offers on this
great treatment for you.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing
Fractional Skin Resurfacing is the only
method, which creates new skin. Fractional Skin Treatments deliver light in an
array of narrow, focused “micro beams” to create columns of heat within the skin.
These micro beams penetrate deep into the dermis for the most effective,
long-term results obtainable. The heated tissue within the columns starts
natural healing process that forms new, healthy tissue. This results in a
decrease in sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring and a fresher,
more youthful skin tone and texture. The Fractional approach stimulates quick
healing, while leaving your skin’s surface intact, with no lasting redness.
Fractional
Micro-needling radiofrequency
Many very fine needles
penetrate the skin momentarily and RF energy flows between needle tips causing
precise heating under the skin layers to create new collagen. This avoids
heating the top layers of the skin so downtime is minimal and it is safer for
darker skin types. You get benefits of both micro needling and radiofrequency
energy.
Volume
restoration
We can use dermal fillers or your
own fat to re-create your jawline and chin.
Chin and jawline are difficult to
inject so you need an experienced doctor to do these and not someone who
injects fillers ‘on the side’. Ask your practitioner how many filler injections
they do and can they show some before and after photos. When injecting fillers
it is important to stay away from the important structures such as nerves and
blood vessels. So a deep understanding of anatomy is essential.
When the jaw angle gets blurred, it
makes a huge difference in how the person is perceived. We can inject fillers
to contour the jawline, angle of the jaw and chin. Botulinum toxin injections
remain popular for this area as in Nefertiti lift. As we age, we start to lose
a little chin projection. This can be restored using fillers.
This approach differs drastically
from simply filling lines because it requires placing fairly substantial amounts
of filler on underlying bone while avoiding the blood vessels. This is a
challenging technique that can produce beautiful results.
More advanced options
We do offer a variety of minimally
invasive options such as laser facelift, one stitch facelift or full face and
neck lifts under local anaesthesia. So we can offer these if you have a
significant amount of lose skin and feel surgery is your only option. Give us a
