Facial Fillers

If you are not ready for a surgical lift, adding volume to the mid face or at a certain point in the jawline can lift the skin and camouflage the jowls to some extent. Voluma and Restylane Lyft are great volumizing fillers for this problem. It is reasonable to expect that filling and correcting jowls will require a 1-3 syringes of filler. It is evidenced in filler research that the initial treatment with any filler will require the most amount of filler and subsequent visits will not require as much for maintaining volume.

Botox

We also recommend Botox injections directly into the jowl areas. Botox helps pull back the muscles in this area and thereby reduces the appearance of the jowl.

Radiofrequency

This treatment offers amazing rejuvenating effects to patients with minimal to no downtime and limited discomfort. It is suitable for all skin types. We use radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin.  We typically recommend about 6 treatments about 3 weeks apart. Each treatment builds on the previous treatment. The first treatment induces release of chemical messengers known as growth factors. Special healing cells respond to the growth factors and cause a healing and rejuvenating response.  When cells and growth factors are already present, an even greater growth factor and cellular response occurs. Therefore, multiple treatments 1-2 weeks apart results in a greater response than treatments several weeks or months apart.
