What Are Jowls?
Jowls are the sagging skin that forms along the jawline and below the cheeks as we age. This natural process occurs due to collagen, elastin, and fat breakdown in the mid and lower face. Lifestyle habits, genetics, and sun exposure can make jowls more prominent over time.
At IWH Medspa in Ventura, CA, we understand how jowls impact your facial profile and confidence. We offer customized, non-surgical treatments that restore contour and firmness without surgery or extended downtime.
Treatment Options for Jowls
Our team provides personalized treatment plans using the most advanced aesthetic technology to lift and define the jawline.
Dermal Fillers for Jawline Contouring
Hyaluronic acid fillers help lift sagging skin and refine facial contours by restoring volume to the cheeks and jawline.
- Ideal for: Mild to moderate sagging
- Downtime: Minimal
- Longevity: 6-12 months
PDO Thread Lift
PDO threads are gently placed beneath the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue. The threads also stimulate collagen for longer-lasting improvement.
- Ideal for: Visible jowls and lower face laxity
- Downtime: 2-5 days of swelling or minor bruising
- Longevity: Up to 18 months
Ultrasound or RF Skin Tightening
These treatments deliver focused energy deep into the skin to boost collagen and gradually tighten the area.
- Ideal for: Early to moderate laxity
- Downtime: None to minimal
- Longevity: Gradual, lasting 12+ months
Kybella® Injections
If jowls are due to fat accumulation, Kybella® can dissolve submental fat under the chin and along the jawline for a slimmer appearance.
- Ideal for: Fatty jowls or double chin
- Downtime: Temporary swelling post-injection
- Longevity: Permanent fat reduction with completed series
Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF Microneedling)
This treatment combines skin remodeling with deep collagen stimulation to tighten the jawline and improve texture.
- Ideal for: Fine lines and laxity around the jaw
- Downtime: 1-3 days of mild redness
- Longevity: Results build with each session
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What causes jowls to appear?
Jowls form part of the natural aging process when collagen and fat diminish, causing the skin to sag. Smoking, genetics, and sun damage can accelerate this.
Are non-surgical treatments effective for jowls?
Today’s aesthetic advancements provide effective, non-invasive solutions for tightening skin and enhancing the jawline without surgery.
Will I need multiple sessions?
Some treatments, like fillers or PDO thread lifts, show results after one session. Others, such as RF microneedling or Ultherapy®, may require multiple treatments for best results.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
- Fillers: 6-12 months
- PDO Threads: Up to 18 months
- RF or Ultrasound: Results develop gradually and can last a year or more
- Kybella: Permanent fat reduction once the series is complete
Is there downtime involved?
Most jowl treatments have little to no downtime. Depending on the procedure selected, you might experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness.
