Jowls, Skin Laxity & Lower Face Rejuvenation
As we age, gradual changes in collagen, elastin, facial volume, and skin quality can affect the lower face and jawline. These changes may contribute to reduced definition around the jawline and the appearance of jowls.
What Causes Jowls?
Jowls develop as a result of multiple age-related changes affecting the skin and underlying facial structures. Over time, collagen and elastin naturally decline, reducing the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Changes in facial volume and support can also affect the lower face, contributing to reduced jawline definition. Lifestyle and environmental factors, including sun exposure, smoking, and significant weight fluctuations, may influence how these changes develop over time.
Treatment Options for Jowls
Many patients ask what can be done to address changes affecting the jawline and lower face. At Quinn Clinics, we offer a range of surgical and non-surgical treatment options designed to address skin laxity, age-related volume loss, and lower-face support.
Following a comprehensive medical consultation and facial assessment, our Doctors will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your concerns, facial anatomy, and treatment goals.
SKIN TIGHTENING & FACIAL REJUVENATION FOR JOWLS
Treatment recommendations may include a combination of advanced skin tightening technologies, regenerative treatments, and dermal fillers, depending on the underlying causes of your concerns. By addressing both skin quality and structural support, we can create a personalised approach focused on facial balance, lower-face support, and natural-looking results.

Ultherapy® Ultrasound Skin Tightening
Ultherapy® is an FDA-cleared ultrasound treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production and address age-related changes affecting skin firmness, elasticity, and lower-face definition. Using advanced ultrasound imaging technology, Ultherapy® allows practitioners to visualise the tissue beneath the skin’s surface and deliver energy at precise depths to support the body’s natural regenerative processes.
This makes it a popular treatment option for patients concerned about skin laxity affecting areas such as the jowls, jawline, neck, and lower face. By stimulating collagen production over time, Ultherapy® can help support skin firmness and improve the appearance of age-related changes affecting facial contours and lower-face support.
Some patients notice initial changes following treatment, although results typically develop gradually over 3–6 months as new collagen is produced.*
Unlike surgical procedures, Ultherapy® requires little to no downtime, allowing most patients to return to
their normal daily activities shortly after treatment.
*Individual results vary, and suitability for treatment is assessed during consultation.
Dermal Fillers for Lower Face Rejuvenation
Dermal fillers may be recommended for patients experiencing age-related volume loss affecting the lower face, jawline, and surrounding facial structures. By restoring support in key areas of the face, treatment can help improve facial balance, lower-face definition, and overall facial harmony.
At Quinn Clinics, dermal fillers are often used as part of a broader facial rejuvenation treatment plan tailored to the individual following a comprehensive medical consultation and facial assessment. Treatment recommendations are based on facial anatomy, skin quality, and the underlying causes of age-related changes affecting the lower face.
We use carefully selected hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, including JUVÉDERM® and Belotero®, which are highly compatible with the body’s naturally occurring hyaluronic acid and may be recommended to support facial structure and address age-related volume loss.
When considering dermal filler treatments, it’s important to understand product quality. Whilst hyaluronic acid fillers can provide long-lasting effects, they are not permanent, which is important as the face continues to change over time.

Often recommended for patients concerned about skin laxity affecting the jowls, jawline, cheeks, neck, or lower

Following a comprehensive medical consultation and assessment, Morpheus8® may be recommended alone or in combination with treatments such as dermal fillers or Ultherapy® depending on the individual’s concerns and treatment goals.
