Jowls

The term “jowls” is often used to describe sagging skin below your chin or jawline. Almost everyone develops jowls as they age. It happens because your skin becomes thinner and less elastic over time.
Jowls may be less pronounced in people who have thicker skin, more fat, or more collagen in the area
below the cheeks and chin. Some people may never develop jowls because of their genes, environmental factors,
and lifestyle choices.

Common Causes

Loss of elastin and collagen
- Over time, the skin in your cheeks and below your jawline loses much of its collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein that makes up the connective tissue in your body. Elastin is another connective tissue protein that lets your skin return to its normal shape even after being stretched.
Genetics
- Your genetics can also determine whether or not you develop jowls and how noticeable they become over time. If either of your parents has jowls, you’re more likely to develop them.
Environmental and lifestyle factors
- Other causes of jowls either come from your environment or result from your lifestyle choices. These include:
  - Facial expressions: Frequently making certain facial expressions can stretch out your face or neck skin.
  - Weight loss: When you gain weight, your skin stretches to cover increased body mass. If you lose weight, the stretched skin may sag.
  - Sun exposure: Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight can damage the collagen in your skin. This can cause your skin to sag earlier.
  - Smoking: Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes can damage collagen and elastin. Smoking can also cause your blood vessels to become narrow. This limits your blood’s circulation and prevents your skin from getting enough nutrients like vitamin A to keep it healthy.
  - Using computers or phones: Using a computer or looking down at a smartphone for long periods of time can make the skin around your neck lose its elasticity over time. These jowls have been called “tech neck.”

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are natural or synthetic gels that are injected into the skin to volumise, lift and improve the appearance of lines. The dermal fillers used at our Clinic contain Hyaluronic Acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that exists naturally in almost all living organisms. It binds water and can act as a lubricant and shock absorber in movable parts of the body such as joints. It is also important for the transport of nutrients and in regulating water balance in skin.
Dermal filler injections provide an easy way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smooth the skin and give a more youthful appearance. The result of a single treatment can be seen instantly and can last for around 6 to 9 months. Dermal filler injections can give a natural looking result that does not affect facial expression.
Dermal fillers can be used to smooth away facial lines and wrinkles, create fuller lips and shape facial contours, such as cheeks and chin, and revitalise the skin.
The most common areas treated are:
Nose to mouth lines (the nasolabial folds)
between the eyebrows (the glabella lines)
lips (adding volume and shape)
**Starting @ £300 per 1ml**
