Causes of jowls

Jowls are caused by a combination of issues. As we age

  • Our skeletal structure slowly diminishes with age. Hence, the jaw becomes smaller and thinner. The cheekbones also become flatter and thinner.
  • We lose collagen in the deep tissues (called the SMAS) so the upper tissues begin to sag.
  • There is also loss of key volume in our face since the fat pockets in the middle part of our face deflate.
  • The skin also becomes thinner and looser due to the loss of collagen and elastin.

When all of these factors combine, the face starts to sag and this results in s jowls and lines in the lower face.

Treatment for jowls

EndoLift is an innovative, minimally-invasive alternative to a surgical facelift, which uses laser energy to tighten the skin and contour facial fat – with minimal downtime. The EndoLift offers a remarkable, non-surgical alternative to the traditional surgical facelift (or neck lift), as well as options for body contouring.

Fillers are a fantastic option for those looking to restore volume to the face. At Health & Aesthetics, we use Juvederm Vycross range fillers which are FDA approved and so are safe and effective. It is important to understand who is injecting you and what is being injected as the UK is extremely under-regulated. Learn more about this here. By injecting these fillers into key points (MD Codes) you can lift the face and reduce the appearance of jowls.

Secret RF is a novel fractional radiofrequency micro-needling treatment from Cutera. Designed to revitalise, refresh, tighten and lift the skin and address the common signs of ageing, the treatment uses micro-needles to allow the practitioner to deliver energy at various depths, so it can be tailored to each individual’s needs. By combining the two technologies – RF and micro-needling – Secret RF gives a double whammy when it comes boosting collagen and elastin.
