As we age, the loss of collagen and volume in our faces causes one of the most common areas of concern raised by our patients: ‘lower face sagging’ or ‘jowls’ and the disappearance of our youthful jawlines.
Like our teeth, this area of our faces dramatically impacts our overall look. We often focus on anti-injectables for the upper face to help us look younger, but our lower faces can be a real giveaway to our age and are often overlooked. As well as ageing us, a sagging or downturned mouth makes us look sad, angry, and slightly miserable when, in fact, this is not the case.
As well as the natural ageing process, other factors can impact the volume structure in the lower face:
Muscle Weakness:
As we age, our facial muscles naturally lose elasticity and tone. Weakened facial muscles can contribute to a downturned mouth.
Weight Loss:
For those who lose significant amounts of weight, the loose skin combined with the effects of gravity can create a downturned expression.
Facial Expressions:
Over time, repeated facial expressions can create lines and wrinkles, reinforcing the appearance of a downturned mouth.
We asked Dr John, Laser and Aesthetics experts at Quinn Clinics, which treatments he offers to address the loss of volume in the lower jaw area:
This is one of my favourite areas to treat, as the effect that our energy-based devices such as Morpheus8 and Ultherapy can have on the lower face can be transformational for patients, giving them such an increase in confidence.”
What are the benefits of Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is one of our favourite and busiest energy-based devices. It is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for tightening the lower face, offering numerous benefits for those seeking a more youthful appearance. Using guided ultrasound, Ultherapy stimulates the skin’s deeper layers (the SMAS) to boost collagen production, naturally lifting and firming sagging skin around the jawline and chin. We can target specific areas with precision, ensuring optimal results without damaging the skin’s surface.
One of its key advantages is the absence of downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately. For those looking to combat signs of ageing without surgery, Ultherapy is a safe, FDA-cleared option that delivers noticeable and long-lasting rejuvenation.
Results develop gradually over several months, providing a subtle, natural-looking improvement lasting up to a year.
We recommend an annual top-up for patients to maintain results.
Lower Face Ultherapy Treatment from £2,000 at Quinn Clinics. A 0% Interest Finance Option is available, allowing you to spread the cost of your treatment into 12x £150 payments with no fees, interests or set-up costs.
And what about Morpehus8?
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge treatment that effectively targets signs of ageing by combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This innovative approach penetrates the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production, essential for maintaining a youthful and firm complexion.
Morpheus8 can address various ageing concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and uneven texture. It is particularly effective for tightening loose skin on the face, neck, and jawline and reducing the appearance of scars and enlarged pores. The treatment promotes natural skin remodelling, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated skin. With minimal downtime and highly customisable settings to suit individual needs, Morpheus8 offers a powerful, non-surgical solution for those seeking comprehensive anti-ageing results.
We are proud to be the only clinic in Bristol to offer patients the latest Morpheus8 Burst technology, offering the most powerful results in the industry.
