How to Get Rid of Jowls: Dermatologist-Approved Options

As we age, it’s common to notice sagging skin along the jawline—commonly known as jowls. While this is a natural part of aging, there are effective, non-surgical options available to help lift, tighten, and restore definition.

At MDCS Dermatology, we offer personalized treatment plans to address jowls and improve your facial contour.

What Causes Jowls?

Jowls form due to a combination of factors, including:

• Loss of collagen and elastin
  
  
• Gravity and skin laxity
  
  
• Volume loss in the cheeks and mid-face
  
  
• Sun damage and lifestyle factors
  

Dermatologist-Approved Treatment Options

Depending on the severity of sagging and your aesthetic goals, your dermatologist may recommend:

1. Dermal Fillers

Fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® can restore volume in the cheeks and jawline, creating a more lifted appearance.

2. Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling

This minimally invasive treatment stimulates collagen production to firm and tighten the skin.

3. Ultrasound Skin Tightening

Non-invasive treatments like Ultherapy® use focused ultrasound energy to lift and firm the skin.

4. Injectable Treatments

Strategic placement of neuromodulators (like Botox) in the neck and jawline area can improve jawline definition.

5. Skincare & Prevention

Medical-grade skincare and daily sun protection can help maintain skin firmness and prevent further sagging.
