Say Goodbye to Jowls – Jawline Rejuvenation Treatments

Jowls. The dreaded little pockets of skin that seem to appear out of nowhere, making our once-sculpted jawlines look softer than we’d like. If you’re noticing sagging along your jawline, don’t panic—you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not stuck with it. This is one of the most common concerns I treat, and the good news? We have options. Really good options!

I’ve spent years perfecting techniques to lift, tighten, and contour the jawline in the most natural, flattering way possible. Whether you’re just starting to notice a little loss of definition or you’re feeling like gravity is working overtime, there’s a treatment (or combination of treatments) that can help. Let’s break it all down.

How do you know if you need a little extra love in the jawline department? If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to take action:

    •    Your jawline isn’t as sharp or defined as it used to be

    •    You’re noticing loose skin or sagging near the corners of your mouth

    •    There’s a shadow or dip forming in front of your jowl area

    •    Your lower face looks heavier or less sculpted

    •    You find yourself contouring your jawline more than ever

If you’re nodding along, don’t worry! I’ve got you.. Let’s talk treatments!

My Go-To Treatments for Jowls & Jawline Definition

The best results come from a combination of treatments because aging happens at multiple levels—skin, muscle, fat, and even bone. That’s why I customize every approach based on what you need, not just what’s trending. Here are my top picks:

The Nefertiti Lift With Neurotoxins

This is one of my favorite tricks for a subtly lifted, more defined jawline. It’s called the Nefertiti Lift, named after the ancient Egyptian queen known for her elegant, sculpted neck and jawline.

In practice, I use Botox (or Dysport) to relax the platysma muscle—the one that constantly pulls the skin downward. By softening this muscle, we can release that downward pull, instantly creating a more lifted, contoured look.

Wondering if this is the right treatment for you?

    •    If you feel like your jawline is starting to blur

    •    If you see pulling or tension when you talk or strain your neck

    •    If you want a subtle, natural-looking lift

This is an amazing starting point for jawline definition, but it works even better when paired with…

Dermal Fillers

Let’s talk about bone structure, because yes, it changes as we age. Over time, we lose bone, fat, and collagen, which creates hollows, shadows, and dips in the lower face. When used strategically, filler can smooth out pre-jowl dips for a seamless transition from cheek to jaw, enhance the chin to create better proportion and definition, and add subtle jawline structure without looking overfilled.

Wondering if this is the right treatment for you?

    •    If you see a noticeable dip in front of your jowls

    •    If your chin looks weak or recessed, making jowls more prominent

    •    If you want instant results with no downtime

Filler is magic when done right! Meaning placed in the right areas, in the right amounts, with the right technique. My approach is always natural and balanced—no overdone or puffy results here!

CoolPeel Laser

Botox relaxes. Filler restores. But what about the skin itself? That’s where lasers come in. Cool Peel is one of my favorite treatments for tightening and smoothing the lower face. It’s a fractional CO2 laser, meaning it targets the outer layers of skin to stimulate collagen production and promote a firmer, tighter jawline. CoolPeel is safely and comfortably delivers the benefits of a traditional CO2 laser with the excessive heat! At Racquel Aesthetics we offer three different depths of Cool Peel.

Light CO2 – This treatment delivers impressive superficial resurfacing to address fine lines, sun damage, pore size, skin texture, and acne scars.

Medium Depth C02 – This is a great option for those that are looking to target specific treatment areas, but do not want full-face ablation. With our global assessment approach, we can customize your treatment to receive more selective resurfacing in troublesome areas (under-eyes, perioral lines, etc.) to focus on fine lines, wrinkles, texture and tightening.

Deep Depth CO2– Our most aggressive approach, this treatment is best for those that are looking for complete resurfacing of the skin to iron out fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment will offer great skin tightening benefits while addressing skin crepiness and laxity.

What does this mean for jowls?

    •    Tighter skin means less sagging

    •    Smoother texture means fewer wrinkles

    •    More collagen means long-term improvement

It’s non-invasive, has minimal downtime, and is perfect for anyone looking to boost firmness and elasticity in their lower face. For more dramatic results, we can go deeper with Deep CO2 Laser, which penetrates into deeper layers of skin to rebuild collagen and tighten even more.

Medical-Grade Skincare

You can do all the in-office treatments in the world, but if you’re not supporting your skin at home, you’re missing a huge piece of the puzzle. A solid medical-grade skincare routine can keep your skin firm and hydrated, boost collagen production daily, and protect against future sagging and aging. Think of it this way, treatments like Botox, filler, and lasers give you the results, but your skincare is what maintains them.

Forever Young Retinol 25 – This pure all-trans retinol transforms your skin, tackling acne, pigmentation, and fine lines to deliver a tighter and more radiant appearance

HA Peptide Serum – A robust drink of anti-aging water for your skin. The inclusion of Peptides like Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 help to stimulate collagen production, reduce the signs of aging, and support overall skin rejuvenation. Antioxidants from Green Tea Extract and peptides prevent oxidative stress and promote skin regeneration, fighting the visible signs of aging.

Hydralipid Moisturizer – This luxurious, lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion provides broad-spectrum protection from UVA + UVB rays while leaving no chalky white cast

Sheer Protect SPF 50 – This luxurious, lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion provides broad-spectrum protection from UVA + UVB rays while leaving no chalky white cast
