What Can You Do About an Aging or Disappearing Jawline?

Fine lines and wrinkles aren’t the only ones that can give away your age. Your jawline can also make you older, especially with sagging skin or loss of definition. Fortunately, our aesthetic clinic in Singapore has a number of non-surgical options that can improve signs of aging in the lower face and define your aging jawline.

Continue reading as we list the signs of an aging jawline and the procedures that can lift and tighten your skin, as well as improve facial contours.   

Jowls

These refer to the droopy skin below the jawline or on the lower area of the face. Jowls appear when the sagging skin around the mouth and cheeks falls around the chin and jawline area. Aging is the common cause of jowls, but other factors such as skin type, genetics, and habits can also contribute to its appearance. 

What can help: Titan Skin Tightening is a US FDA-cleared procedure that can non-invasively tighten and enhance skin tone on the face, neck, and other areas of the body. Emitting a safe, infrared light, it heats the weakened collagen in the skin and triggers the body to create micro-injuries and jumpstart collagen production. It can treat the:

• Jawline
• Neck
• Upper arms
• Abdomen

Double chin or chin fat

While double chin is mostly associated with excess weight, anyone (even skinny people) can have it. Other factors that can contribute to its formation include poor posture, aging, and genetics or having a family history of double chins or little skin elasticity. It is mostly a cosmetic issue, but it can give you a rounder profile and make it look like you have two chins. 

What can help:CoolSculpting Elite is a fat freezing procedure that targets and kills fat cells. It has an applicator designed for smaller pockets of fat, like those under your chin, underarms, and knees. The recommended number of sessions is one to two, with the treatment taking about 35 minutes.  

This revamped device features C-shaped applicators that complement the natural curves in the body, which enable a comfortable fat freezing treatment. It also offers up to 27% fat reduction in treated areas compared to the original system’s 20 to 25%. Check out our previous post about 11 common questions about CoolSculpting Elite. 

Weak chin

Mostly a cosmetic issue, a weak chin is synonymous with having a less prominent chin on the face. Some may also refer to it as a recessed chin, which refers to a chin that appears smaller than other facial features, as well as lacks projection. This can be due to natural aging, certain genetic conditions, or inherited from patients. 

What can help: There is a certain hyaluronic-acid based facial filler that is designed to contour the lower face and give you a more defined jawline. It can improve loss of jawline definition in adults, contouring the lower face to achieve facial harmony. These facial fillers can also soften jowls and improve double chin appearance. 

Aging neck/turkey neck

The neck is one of the areas of the face to reveal or betray your age. Apart from it having thinner and more fragile skin, it is also often neglected when it comes to skincare. Loose or sagging skin is one of the common signs, which may also result in the appearance of turkey neck/wrinkled skin on the neck. 

What can help: Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) is a US FDA-cleared procedure for non-invasively lifting the skin on the face, brow, and under the chin. Using time-tested ultrasound energy, it heats the deeper layers of the skin to tighten and remodel collagen. MFU-V provides a visible yet natural-looking lift over time.

Our aesthetic clinic also has 7D Ultraformer MMFU, which is a non-invasive treatment for facial lifting, skin tightening, and body contouring. It uses micro and macro focused ultrasound (MMFU) technology that heats different layers and stimulates collagen. It can lift and tighten sagging skin, help improve elasticity, and define areas like the jawline.
