Jowls
Learn more about Jowls...
Jowls can be described as excess or saggy skin forming in the neck, along the jawline, and sides of the chin, and can appear as if our skin is dropping down the face which forms different folds and lines. Almost all people develop at least a minor jowl as they age and can be more prominent as we get older. The main causes for this condition are the skin losing its elasticity, the face losing facial volume, and weakening of facial ligaments. In treating jowls, procedures are usually aimed at regenerating skin collagen, restoring the mid-face volume, and lifting the saggy skin that usually comes in procedures like dermal fillers, thread lifts, and mini threads.

Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected under the layer of the skin to restore the lessening or lost volume, smooth lines such as wrinkles, or enhance the definition of particular parts of the face.With that being said, it is a popular treatment for conditions that have irregularities, asymmetry, or abnormality in shape, form, and definition of the skin such as wrinkles, humps, or receding skin. Dermal fillers can vary in their composition to make them more suitable for the treatment of different areas. The most common type of dermal filler is the hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler, which is composed of a sugar molecule hyaluronic acid, a fluid that is naturally occurring in our bodies and is typically used for wrinkles, under the eyes, lips, and cheek augmentation.
