Uncover the Truth About Sagging Skin & Jowls:
What Causes Them and How to Treat Them—Watch Our Expert Videos for Firmer Skin!"
Facial skin sagging and jowls are common signs of aging, resulting from changes in the skin, underlying fat, and muscle tissues. Jowls refer to the sagging skin along the jawline and below the cheeks, creating a less defined and more droopy appearance of the lower face
-
Loss of Collagen and Elastin: Collagen provides structural support to the skin, and elastin allows the skin to return to its original shape after stretching. With age, the production of these proteins decreases, leading to sagging.
-
Reduction in Fat: Subcutaneous fat, which provides volume and contour to the face, diminishes with age, resulting in a sunken or hollow appearance and contributing to sagging.
-
Gravity: Over time, gravity pulls the skin downward, exacerbating sagging, especially in areas like the cheeks and jawline.
-
Lifestyle Factors: Sun exposure, smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of hydration can accelerate skin aging and sagging.
-
Genetics: Genetic predisposition can influence the rate and extent of skin sagging.
-
Bone Loss: The bones in the face can lose density and recede with age, reducing support for the overlying skin and contributing to jowl formation.

What causes Facial Skin Sagging - Jowls ?
Treatments for Jowls
Chemical peels can help improve facial sagging by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration, leading to tighter and more youthful-looking skin.
Exfoliation:
-
The chemical solution applied during a peel removes the outer layers of the skin. This exfoliation stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration process, leading to the formation of new skin cells.
Collagen Production:
-
The peel induces a controlled injury to the skin, which triggers the body’s wound-healing response. This response increases the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin.
Tightening Effect:
-
By removing the outer damaged layers of the skin and promoting collagen production, chemical peels can lead to tighter, firmer skin.
-
The increased collagen helps improve skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of sagging.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone:
-
Chemical peels can even out skin tone and smooth the texture, which can make sagging less noticeable.
-
They can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that often accompany sagging skin.
Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products:
-
After a peel, the skin is more receptive to topical treatments, allowing for better absorption of moisturizers and serums that can further support skin tightening and health.

Microneedling can effectively reduce facial sagging and jowls by stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Micro-injuries:
-
The needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body's healing response without causing significant damage to the outer layer of the skin.
Collagen and Elastin Production:
-
These micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that give skin its structure, elasticity, and firmness.
Cell Turnover:
-
The healing process promotes the turnover of skin cells, leading to a rejuvenated appearance.
Increased Skin Firmness:
-
The new collagen and elastin fibers produced in response to microneedling strengthen and thicken the skin. This increased support structure can reduce the appearance of sagging skin, giving it a firmer, more lifted look.
Improved Skin Texture and Elasticity:
-
The enhanced collagen and elastin production not only tightens the skin but also improves its overall texture and elasticity, making the skin look smoother and more youthful.
Reduction in Wrinkles and Fine Lines:
-
By promoting collagen synthesis, microneedling helps to diminish fine lines and wrinkles that often accompany sagging skin, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
Tightening of Jowls:
-
For jowls, the tightening effect of increased collagen and elastin helps to firm up the skin around the jawline. This can reduce the droopy appearance of jowls, leading to a more defined jawline.

Polynucleotides help reduce facial sagging and jowls by stimulating collagen and elastin production, supporting cell regeneration, and providing anti-inflammatory benefits. Polynucleotide treatments are most effective for mild to moderate sagging. Severe sagging may require more invasive procedures. Polynucleotides can be combined with other aesthetic treatments, such as microneedling to enhance overall results.
Improved Skin Elasticity and Firmness:
-
By stimulating collagen and elastin production, polynucleotides help improve the skin's structural integrity, making it firmer and more elastic. This can significantly reduce the appearance of sagging skin and jowls.
Enhanced Skin Texture:
-
The regenerative properties of polynucleotides improve overall skin texture, making the skin smoother and more even-toned. This contributes to a more youthful and lifted appearance.
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles:
-
Increased collagen production not only firms the skin but also smooths out fine lines and wrinkles that often accompany sagging skin.
Natural Rejuvenation:
-
Polynucleotides support the body's natural healing and regenerative processes, leading to a more natural and gradual improvement in skin appearance compared to more invasive treatments.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that utilizes the patient’s own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation of the skin. It has gained popularity in cosmetic dermatology for its ability to improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance. PRP therapy can effectively reduce facial sagging and jowls by stimulating collagen production, enhancing skin regeneration, and improving overall skin health.
Stimulation of Collagen Production:
-
The growth factors in PRP stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity. This helps to tighten and lift sagging skin.
Enhanced Skin Regeneration:
-
PRP promotes the regeneration of new skin cells, improving overall skin texture and tone. This regenerative effect contributes to a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
Improved Blood Supply:
-
PRP enhances the blood supply to the skin, which improves nutrient delivery and waste removal. This results in healthier, more resilient skin.
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles:
-
Increased collagen production and improved skin health reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, which are often associated with sagging skin.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer a versatile and effective solution for reducing sagging skin and jowls by restoring lost volume, enhancing facial contours.
Volume Restoration:
-
Dermal fillers are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume. This plumping effect can lift and support sagging areas, providing a more youthful appearance.
Hydration and Plumpness:
-
Many fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based fillers, attract and retain moisture, further enhancing the plumpness and hydration of the skin.
Immediate Lifting Effect:
-
By adding volume to areas that have lost fat and collagen, dermal fillers provide an immediate lifting effect. This can reduce the appearance of sagging in the cheeks and jawline.
Contour Enhancement:
-
Fillers can be strategically placed to enhance facial contours, such as the cheeks, chin, and jawline. This helps to create a more defined and youthful facial structure.
Reduction of Marionette Lines and Nasolabial Folds:
-
These are the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin (marionette lines) and from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds). Filling these areas can smooth out deep creases and provide a lifting effect to the lower face.
Jawline Definition:
-
Fillers can be used to add volume along the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls and creating a more defined jawline.
