Jowls
Jowls refer to the gradual loss of definition along the jawline, where the skin and soft tissues begin to descend below the jaw. This can create a heavier appearance in the lower face and reduce the natural contour between the face and neck.
Jowls develop as part of the natural ageing process, as collagen, elastin, and facial support structures gradually decline over time. The skin becomes less firm, facial fat pads shift downwards, and the underlying muscles can weaken, all of which contribute to a loss of jawline definition. Genetics, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle factors can also influence how quickly jowls develop and become more noticeable.
Treating jowls focuses on improving skin firmness, supporting the underlying facial structures, and enhancing the definition of the lower face. Depending on your individual concerns, treatment options may include non-surgical skin tightening technologies, collagen-stimulating procedures, and treatments that strengthen the facial muscles to provide greater support. Medical-grade skincare can also help improve skin quality and elasticity as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. With a personalised approach, it is possible to achieve a firmer, more defined jawline while maintaining natural-looking results.
