Reclaim Your Jawline: Treatments for Jowls & Lower Face Laxity
Why Do Jowls and Sagging Lower Face Occur?
As we age, the soft tissues, fat compartments, and skin in our face gradually lose volume and elasticity. Collagen and elastin fibres weaken, fat pads descend, and bone structure subtly remodels. All of this contributes to a less defined jawline, drooping jowls, and sagging in the lower face and neck region. Factors such as sun damage, genetics, weight loss, and lifestyle can accelerate this process.
When the balance between support and pull is lost, what once held the face in youthful definition begins to sag. Our mission is to restore harmony, lift contours, and enhance your natural beauty-without obvious “done” effects.
Our Approach
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. The lower face is complex, and often improvement comes from combining modalities rather than relying on a single treatment. In consultation, we assess:
- Your facial anatomy in repose and motion
- Skin quality and laxity
- Volume loss in midface and lower face
- Muscle balance (e.g. depressor muscles)
- Your goals, downtime tolerance, and medical history
Below is a menu of treatments we offer for jowls and sagging lower face, along with which situations they are best suited for.
Treatment Options
-
- Jawline & Chin Dermal Fillers
-
-
- Best for: mild to moderate sagging, loss of support
- Results last: typically 12-18 months (varies by individual)
- Downtime: minimal-some swelling, bruising for a few days
- Skin Tightening with Microneedling
- SkinPenTM Microneedling penetrates deeper in the skin to stimulate collagen remodelling, tighten lax skin, and improve texture.
- These treatments improve skin firmness and can be used before or after filler to enhance results.
- Bioremodelling Injectable ProfhiloTM / Skin Boosting Polynucleotides PlinestTM
-
-
- BotoxTM (Wrinkle-Relaxing Injections): Depressor Muscle Modulation
-
- Surgical Options: Midface & Neck Lifting
Combination Strategies
Because facial aging is multifactorial, many patients see the best outcome when we layer or sequence treatments. Some example roadmaps include:
- Stage 1: skin tightening (Microneedling) to firm tissues
- Stage 2: TeoxaneTM filler to restore support and contour
- Stage 3: fine tuning with wrinkle-relaxing injections
- Maintenance: periodic refresh of bioremodeller injectables or polynucleotides
By treating the face holistically (not just “the jowls”), we can create more natural, harmonious, lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a single best treatment for jowls?
No-optimal results often come from combining treatments. What works best depends on your anatomy, degree of sagging, skin quality, and treatment goals.
How long do results last?
It varies by treatment: fillers may last 12-18 months, tightening and regeneratives may provide benefits over 1-2 years, and surgical lifting has much longer longevity.
Are the treatments painful?
Discomfort is typically mild.
Will it look “done”?
Our philosophy is subtlety. We aim to enhance, not overcorrect. Every technique is applied with attention to balance, symmetry, and your natural landmarks.
