Jowl Treatment: Dr Ahmed’s Non-Surgical Approach to a Youthful Jawline
If you’ve noticed saggy skin or a loss of definition along the jawline, you’re not alone. The appearance of jowls is one of the most common age-related concerns – affecting how we perceive balance and structure across the lower face. But the good news? You don’t need surgery to restore a tighter, more sculpted silhouette.
A modern, tailored approach to jowl treatment can combine advanced injectable and skin-firming therapies to lift, contour, and refine the jawline for a more youthful appearance.
Depending on your individual concerns, treatment may include dermal fillers to restore lost volume and support facial structure, skin boosters to improve hydration and skin elasticity, and polynucleotides to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate skin quality from within.
What Are Jowls and Why Do They Appear?
Jowl formation occurs when the structural support of the lower face begins to decline. This can be caused by:
• Loss of collagen and elastin, leading to loss of elasticity and loose skin
• Volume loss in the mid-face, which allows tissue to descend
• Gravity, which pulls down the deeper layers of facial structures over time
• Weakening of both facial muscles and neck muscles
• Lifestyle factors and lifestyle choices, such as sun exposure, smoking, and age
Together, these changes lead to prominent jowls, a less defined jawline, and visible saggy skin in the lower cheeks. The appearance of jowls may also be accompanied by marionette lines and nasolabial folds, further contributing to a tired or aged look.
Jowl Treatment Without Surgery: Your Options
At The Aesthetics Doctor, we offer a comprehensive selection of non-surgical treatments designed to lift, smooth, and contour the lower face. These non-invasive treatments can be used alone or in combination for optimal results.
Dermal Fillers
Used to restore volume and support the overlying tissue, injectable fillers can smooth out hollows, sculpt the jawline, and provide a natural lift - making them a popular treatment for improving the appearance of jowls.
Skin Boosters and Polynucleotides
Designed to hydrate and stimulate the production of collagen, these treatments enhance skin elasticity and firmness from the inside out.
Each of these treatments for jowls can be tailored to your goals, with Dr Ahmed selecting the most effective combination to target your unique concerns and support long-term skin firming.
The Role of Botox in Jowl Rejuvenation
Though widely known for treating forehead lines and softening facial expressions, Botox also plays a key role in jawline rejuvenation. When injected into the platysma muscle, it reduces the downward pull on the lower face.
This technique - often referred to as the Nefertiti Lift - can create a gentle lift in the jawline, especially when sagging is caused by muscle tension rather than volume loss. According to clinical studies, botulinum toxin is an effective solution for redefining the jaw and neck area by targeting the muscles that contribute to pronounced jowls.
When Fillers May Be the Better Choice
If your jowls are the result of volume loss rather than muscle activity, filler treatments may be more appropriate. Dr Ahmed may recommend dermal fillers to:
• Restore volume in the mid-face and cheeks
• Smooth the transition between the chin and jawline
• Reduce the appearance of jowls and redefine the contour of the jaw
For many patients, the combination of fillers and Botox provides a comprehensive, natural-looking solution for jowls without surgery.
What to Expect from Your Treatment
At your appointment with The Aesthetics Doctor, we will:
• Assess your facial features, muscle tone, and skin types
• Review your aesthetic goals, lifestyle choices, and medical history
• Create a personalised treatment plan using a combination of techniques
• Perform the treatment using injectables, devices, or non-invasive treatments
• Recommend post-treatment care, including ice packs if needed to reduce swelling
Most treatments involve minimal recovery time, allowing you to return to your daily activities quickly. Some results, such as those from Botox, are seen within 3–7 days, while other therapies - like those that stimulate collagen production - build gradually for long-term skin rejuvenation.
Am I a Good Candidate?
You may be suitable for non-surgical jowl treatment if you:
• Have mild to moderate skin laxity
• Are not ready for invasive procedures like surgery
• Want to address prominent jowls or pronounced jowls without downtime
• Have realistic expectations and follow a healthy lifestyle to maintain results
If excess skin or very pronounced jowls are present, Dr Ahmed may refer you to a trusted surgical specialist to discuss cosmetic surgery options.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results vary depending on the treatment used. On average:
• Botox results are visible for 3–4 months, depending on muscle strength
• Dermal fillers typically last 9–18 months depending on the product
• Energy-based skin firming treatments may stimulate results that last for several months, especially when paired with regular follow-up sessions and a healthy lifestyle
