Sagging Jowls Lift Procedures

Information may not be reliable

Jowls are the saggy or excess skin on the neck, below the jawline and chin. Prevent jowls from sagging with modern technological treatments and procedures from Skin Secrets by Dr. McLaren.   

Causes of Sagging Skin

Several factors including age, lifestyle, facial habits, stress, and genetics can influence skin changes and jowl growth.      

• Aging: Aging skin loses compounds including collagen, fat, connective tissue and proteins like elastin. As skin thins and dries, it changes form, becomes less resilient and full, and begins sagging.
• Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma: Also known as granulomatous slack skin, is an illness that slacks the skin on knees and elbows. Unfortunately, the condition is untreatable.  
• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A genetically inherited connective tissue disorder where collagen production is abnormally less and causes saggy skin. 
• Genetics: The genes of your parents or grandparents can determine the development of jowls or not. Jowls generally develop and grow during the teenage years or early twenties.
• Phones and Computers: Neck skin loses its elasticity when it is bent for a long time.  
• Pregnancy: Woman who have undergone pregnancy generally have loose skin. Notably, women who delivered twins or triplets experience increased sagging skin.
• Smoking: The chemicals and nicotine in cigarettes damage elastin and collagen in the skin. Smoking can narrow or close blood vessels which limits blood circulation to the body. 
• Sunlight: Overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays damages collagen and causes skin to sag. 
• Weight Loss: Carrying extra weight for an extended period of time damages collagen and elastin fibers of the skin. Skin will be saggy when the weight is lost.   

1. FaceTite

FaceTite is a safe, modern, and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses RFAL technology to suction out fatty tissues while stimulating collagen production. The procedure involves skin tightening and face contouring to deliver a youthful appearance.  

Targeted Areas

• Cheeks
• Chin
• Jawline
• Neck

Benefits

• Complete energy concentration
• Skin contraction and facial contouring 
• Skin laxity
• Tissue remodeling and fat coagulation 
• Uses dual temperature technologies, much safer with proper control

2. Renuvion 

Regarded as the world’s first minimally invasive skin tightening treatment, this modern innovation in cosmetic technology uses the combination of two energy-based technologies; radiofrequency energy (RF) and cold helium plasma to treat sagging skin in a single visit.

First, Renuvion uses radiofrequency energy (RF) to heat tissues under the skin to create contraction and collagen production. Over time, it thickens, firms and smooths skin for a natural look in texture and tone.    

Next, cold helium plasma is applied to maintain comfortability and protection to surrounding skin areas

Targeted Areas

• Abdomen
• Breasts area
• Lower cheeks, jawline, and under the chin
• Neck, chest, and décolletage
• Thighs  
• Upper arms
• Upper face

Benefits

• Cost-effective
• Decreased downtime
• Safe
• Visible results within 6 weeks 

3. MyEllevate

MyEllevate™ is a simple, minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure used to shape and rejuvenate the jawline. The procedure does not require surgery or skin removal, and can be performed right in a surgeon’s office.  

A MyEllevate® surgeon simply positions the ICLED® light guided suture system, without making incisions, to elevate underlying tissues. 

Benefits

• Natural-looking results
• No downtime
• No surgery
• Standalone procedure or combination of Submental Liposuction/ FaceTite

4. Vaser Lipo

VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance), or VASER liposuction is a liposuction procedure that uses ultrasound energy in pulses to liquefy fat cells and fat groups and extract them from the body.

Targeted Areas

• Arms
• Buttocks
• Chest
• Chin and neck
• Hips and thighs
• Upper back
• Waistline and stomach

Benefits

• Easy to transfer fat cells to other body parts
