Ways We Can Help Tighten and Define Your Chin and Jawline!

Four people in profile view are facing right, each with a distinct skin tone and hairstyle, against a white background.

So many of us want a more defined side profile or that face forward tightened and lifted look. As we age we naturally lose collagen and our skin gets a bit loose. This can happen if we experience weight loss this could cause skin laxity. Our genetics can make skin laxity appear more severe in some people more then others especially over time with aging or with weight loss.  Our genetics also have a role to play in that stubborn double chin that we can’t seem to get rid of no matter how much weight loss we have. 
Don’t fret we have a few treatment options that could help you reach your goals for that more defined and lifted appearance:

Kybella helps with that stubborn double chin. This treatment is an injection that requires two syringes for the first treatment and possibly 1-2 syringes for the second treatment. It is injected directly into the double chin area. Kybella breaks down and destroys unwanted fat cells preventing them from returning.

Morpheus8 is a radio frequency microneedling machine that can penetrate the submental fat. The heat liquifies the fat while tightening the skin (yes this could be used on the body too!). This treatment will help tighten the skin along the jawline also known as jowling. When the heat and needles penetrate the skin it stimulates the bodies healing response to tighten and produce more collagen this will give a more tightened and lifted appearance. This can be used on the face, jawline, neck and body.

Jaw Filler  can add definition, symmetry, balance, or contour to this area, especially in a profile. Jaw filler also smooths out fine lines while replenishing volume. Hyaluronic acid boosts our skin’s own ability to build up collagen and elastin to give our skin natural support over the long term.

So which treatment is right for you maybe one or all of the options. I personally have had chin and jawline filler for a more balanced and defined look. I worked on weight loss and now I’m having Morpheus8 treatments and really focusing on my chin and jaw to help tighten any loose skin. Your treatment will be unique to you! Your treatment will depend on you and your goals as well as genetics. Having a consultation with one of our experienced providers is the best place to start.
