jowls

Jowls are the sagging skin and fatty tissue that develop along the jawline and cheeks as we age. They can result in a loss of definition and a less youthful appearance. Factors like genetics, collagen depletion, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices contribute to the development of jowls. While jowls are a natural part of the ageing process, advancements in aesthetic medicine offer effective solutions to address this concern and restore a more youthful appearance.

PDO Thread Lifts for jowls

A PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin in the facial area. PDO threads are bio-absorbable threads that are skillfully inserted into the skin to lift and reposition loose tissues. These threads stimulate collagen production, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results. PDO Thread Lifts are ideal for treating jowls, as they can lift and define the jawline, reduce sagging, and improve overall skin tightness.

At our aesthetic clinics in Belfast and Bangor, our experienced doctor will begin the procedure by numbing the treatment area with a local anesthetic. Once the area is prepared, the PDO threads will be carefully inserted into the skin using fine needles. Depending on the individual's needs, different thread lengths and configurations will be used to achieve the desired lifting effect. As the threads are gently adjusted, the skin is lifted, and jowls are visibly reduced.

Benefits of PDO Thread Lifts

Non-surgical: PDO Thread Lifts are minimally invasive, reducing the risk of scarring and downtime.
Collagen stimulation: The threads promote natural collagen production, providing long-term improvements to the skin's firmness and elasticity.
Immediate results: Patients can observe an immediate lift and rejuvenated appearance after the procedure.
Minimal downtime: Most individuals can resume their daily activities shortly after the treatment.

dermal fillers for jowls

Dermal fillers are another popular non-surgical option for treating jowls. These fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that hydrates and adds volume to the skin. Dermal fillers can be strategically injected to restore volume to the cheeks and jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls and providing a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

During the dermal filler treatment at our clinics in Belfast and Bangor, our skilled practitioner will carefully assess the treatment area and create a personalised plan based on the individual's unique facial structure and goals.
