Jowls
Jowls are a term to describe loose skin which sits below the jawline.
This is a common sign of ageing that is often the result of a loss of volume in the mid-face area as well as a reduction in the skin elasticity. Injectable treatments such as dermal fillers and bio stimulators are effective treatments at minimising the appearance of jowls.
Products Used
Juvederm Volift – This creates an ultra-smooth gel for a natural appearance with minimal swelling and bruising, therefore it is best used for smoothing nasolabial folds and facial contours.
FAQ
How do dermal fillers work?
Hyaluronic Acid is the substance naturally present in our cells that keeps our skin smooth, supple and hydrated. As we age, its levels in the skin decrease and we lose moisture, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal filler injections help restore this hyaluronic acid and replace volume to the skin, effectively lifting it to reducing the wrinkles.
What are the side effects?
Slight bruising and swelling are common side-effects. When dermal filler injections are performed correctly by an experienced medical practitioner they are regarded as a very safe aesthetic procedure, bad reactions to Hyaluronic Acid are exceptionally rare.
How Long do dermal fillers last?
At The Hamble Clinic we only use non-permanent fillers. Dermal fillers can last from 6 – 18 months depending on the filler used and area placed. Over time and with repeated treatment the effects can last longer.
Are dermal fillers painful?
The treatment can be uncomfortable, and that is why we use an anaesthetic cream and cold packs to numb the area before injection. Juvederm Ultra already contains a local anaesthetic and this makes the procedure very comfortable.
