Jowls are those pesky pockets of sagging skin that run along the jawline. Sadly, a common problem related to aging, but the good news is you don’t have to live with them.

Jowls can make your face look droopy and detract from the definition you had as a youth. Luckily, dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to remove jowls and restore a more sculpted look.

This guide is all about how to get rid of jowls using dermal fillers

Let’s start by understanding why jowls form. There are several factors.

• Loss of collagen and elasticity: Our skin loses collagen as we age. Collagen, a vital protein that gives skin structure and elasticity, diminishes with age. This natural process leads to sagging and the eventual formation of jowls.
• Gravity: Gravity takes a toll on our faces as we age. It pulls our skin down over time, which is responsible for creating jowls in some people.
• Weight fluctuations: Significant weight loss is excellent for our health but can leave excess skin that sags, especially in the jawline.

How to get rid of jowls-the magic of dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are injectables that primarily restore volume and lift to targeted areas of the face. The goal of fillers to get rid of jowls is to plump up the cheeks and jawline. The results are:

Lift sagging skin: Fillers add volume to specific areas of the face that have lost volume. They are effectively pushing up the jowls to create a smoother contour.

Define the jawline: Strategically placing fillers along the jawline can create a more sculpted, youthful look.

Minimizing wrinkles: Filling in lines and wrinkles around the jowls can create a smooth look that refreshes your appearance.

Types of dermal fillers for jowls

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers are the most popular filler for jowls. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Its primary goal is to attract moisture, add volume, and hydrate the skin to keep it looking youthful.

Hyaluronic acid fillers come in different thicknesses so that an experienced technician can tailor your results.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: This type of filler offers long-lasting results and is ideal for deeper wrinkles and jowls.

Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Fillers: These fillers stimulate collagen production over time, gradually lifting jowls.

At LightRx, we offer a large variety of fillers to target specific conditions you would like to address. The most popular is Juvederm, which is used to restore lost volume and is perfect for treating jowls.

Another is Kybella, a revolutionary product that improves the appearance of the jawline. Naturally occurring in the body, it is perfect for achieving a more contoured, defined jawline.

Voluma and Vollure are other cutting-edge products that restore lost volume for facial rejuvenation.

Consult with a skilled technician to discuss your goals and develop a treatment plan with the right products and targeted areas to achieve the results you’re looking for.

The dermal filler process

Understanding how to get rid of jowls with fillers is simple and straightforward.

1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, it’s important to discuss any concerns and your treatment goals. Your technician will assess your facial anatomy and recommend the best type and the proper amount of filler to achieve your goals.
2. Preparation: Most often, the injection site will be numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize possible discomfort.
3. Injection: The filler is administered using a fine needle into strategic points along the cheeks and jawline. The number of injection sites and amount of filler depend on your personalized treatment plan.
4. Recovery: There is no downtime associated with this treatment. You may experience minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which is easily treated with ice and pain relievers and lasts only a few days.
5. Results: Visible results are immediately apparent, followed by the final results, which are in full within a week or two.
6. Duration of results: Generally, results will last from 6 months to 2 years. Touch-up appointments will be necessary to maintain your results.
