It’s a sign of aging taking its toll. Aging may cause the skin around the jawline to lose elasticity and definition. Don’t despair when this happens.
The Woodlands isn’t just about staying active; it’s also about proactive solutions. Keep reading to discover treatment options that complement your healthy lifestyle. They’ll help you recapture a youthful, sculpted jawline in The Woodlands, TX.
Microneedling
This treatment uses tiny needles to create small channels in your skin. The body will then respond by producing collagen and elastin, which tighten the skin over time. Collagen and elastin help reduce jowls and improve overall skin texture.
Microneedling is non-invasive, needs little downtime, and promises gradual improvement with long-lasting results (visible after several weeks). It’s also great for mild to moderate sagging and improving skin texture. However, you’ll need multiple sessions for optimal results.
Radiofrequency and Radiofrequency + Microneedling
Sagging jowls can make you desire a more youthful contour. Thankfully, innovative technologies like radiofrequency offer a non-surgical solution. Think of it like a gentle internal heated massage for mild-to-moderate sagging jowls.
A radiofrequency treatment creates intentional thermal injury beneath your skin-this “damage” stimulates the growth of healthy new dermal tissue and collagen, similar to the way a cut heals. This collagen production can improve common skin issues like sagging skin, acne scaring and wrinkles.
Unlike laser treatments, radiofrequency skin-tightening solutions produce a gentle radiofrequency generated heat that can be combined with tiny needle therapy (micro-needling) to stimulate new collagen that ultimately tightens and lifts the skin. What makes this treatment a powerhouse is its two-pronged attack (heat and micro-injury) to tighten and lift, retexture skin and improve contour.
Practice Happiness offers Scarlet RF®- a revolutionary short-pulse radiofrequency (RF) plus microneedling that increases the density of your skin to improve firmness, decrease sagging and improve the appearance of aging. The Scarlet RF treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. It reaches deeper skin layers for intense collagen stimulation. Radiofrequency in combination with microneedling is more effective than traditional microneedling for jowls, skin tightening, deeper collagen stimulation, and moderate to severe sagging.
Scarlet RF® treatment is simple. It’s a quick outpatient procedure, meaning you won’t need lengthy prep or need to block out hours of your day-most treatments take around an hour with very little downtime before returning to normal social activities. You can expect mild erythema (redness) with some generally desirable swelling.
According to the Dermatologic Surgery study, “radiofrequency microneedling is an effective intervention that can be used repeatedly and safely in combination with other treatment modalities and in individuals with darker skin phototypes. Radiofrequency microneedling-induced dermal remodeling and neocollagenesis are slow and progressive but continue to improve even 6 months after treatment.”
The heat stimulates collagen production to maintain the skin’s elasticity and firmness. As collagen levels increase, your skin regains its youthful bounce. The skin tightens, lifting the jowls.
Unlike other methods that treat the entire surface, radiofrequency can target specific areas. It ensures the energy reaches the exact spot where you need it most. The outcome is a more defined and sculpted profile.
Being able to treat targeted areas makes it a perfect solution for treating your skin texture issues too. Say goodbye to your cobbled skin texture that interferes with a flawless complexion.
Radiofrequency microneedling is non-invasive, painless, and FDA-approved for facial rejuvenation. While not instant, results gradually develop over the course of several months. The subtle, gradual tightening creates a natural, refreshed appearance.
Dermal Fillers
Picture this: you’re plumping up deflated cushions to regain their shape. Dermal fillers work similarly for jowls. They involve tiny injections of hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance in your skin).
A dermatologist will strategically place these injections in the jawline area. These fillers add volume and definition to your skin. This way, the filler lifts the skin and creates a more contoured look.
By filling in lost volume, fillers lift and support the skin. They reduce the appearance of jowls and create a smoother, younger-looking jawline. The treatment is non-invasive, needs minimal downtime, and promises immediate results.
It can also be customized to fit various needs. However, results are temporary (lasting six to 18 months), and multiple sessions might be necessary. It might also not be suitable for severe sagging.
Botox
While known for smoothing wrinkles, strategic Botox injections can also help with your jowls. They temporarily relax specific muscles that pull down on the jawline. This way, they allow other muscles to lift it naturally.
The outcome is a subtle but noticeable jawline definition. Either way, Botox is non-invasive, requires minimal downtime, and promises quick results. It’s also good for mild to moderate sagging.
On the downside, the results are temporary (lasting three to four months). You’ll also repeat injections for the best results. Botox is not suitable for severe sagging or volume loss.
