Jowls are pockets of loose skin. They may look fatty but they're not. Any fat that may reside around jowls can be eliminated with CoolSculpting, but this won't make sagging skin look any better.
When it comes to treating jowls, injectable options like dermal fillers are ideal for restoring facial volume, while ultrasound treatments like Ultherapy are effective when it comes to stimulating the growth of new collagen supplies to directly reduce the sagging effect of jowls.
CoolSculpting is an FDA cleared treatment that works to target subcutaneous fat, like the fat you find under the jawline or chin.
CoolSculpting is FDA Approved for Tightening Skin
Excess fat and loose skin are valid concerns for patients post fat reduction. This is why so many patients seek skin tightening surgeries like neck lifts after weight loss. Thankfully, now CoolSculpting is FDA approved to reduce loose skin in the submental region.
Fortunately, we have good news. CoolSculpting® Elite can help eliminate all of those stubborn jiggles and bulges, including those pesky “bat wings” under your arms.
This revolutionary, non-invasive procedure uses cryolipolysis technology to target, freeze, and eliminate fat cells from your face, specifically under the chin and on the neck. We call it “submental” or “submandibular” depending on the treatment plan, but you get the idea.
Chin CoolSculpting is a great option for non-surgical double chin reduction. And not only does CoolSculpting reduce the fat under the chin by 20 to 25%, CoolSculpting can also improve skin laxity.
Kybella and CoolSculpting can both help you get rid of a double chin, but some important differences may influence your treatment decision. Kybella is quick and easy, and it only requires 1-3 injection sessions, while CoolSculpting can take between 2-4 sessions.
Step 1: Close your mouth and slowly push your jaw forward. Step 2: Lift up your low lip and push up until you feel the muscles in your chin and jawline stretch. Step 3: Stay in this position for about 10 seconds before repeating the exercise. The tongue twister targets muscles below the chin to tone the jawline.
Ultherapy, a one-time, long-lasting correction, uses ultrasound to tighten loose, sagging facial skin. Once the skin is taut, the filler tends to go further. Then, as we add the filler, the face lifts and those jowls disappear.
No, losing weight cannot get rid of saggy jowls for some people. Even extreme weight loss does not work for a majority of patients, especially those with aging skin. It's because weight loss makes jowls more prominent in the first place.
As we age gravity pulls on our lower face, leading to sagging jowls, decreased elasticity and hanging skin of the chin, neck and lower face. Injecting Botox® in this area can provide a subtle lift, helping you look younger and refreshed.
One additional easy step you can add to your regimen is facial exercises, which can tighten up saggy skin under your jowls. They're quick and simple to perform, and if you do them regularly, you will see a difference before you know it!
Khloe Kardashian has undergone the Belkyra (Kybella) treatment to help sculpt and define her jawline (just LOOK at that picture – c'mon she looks amazing!). The Belkyra treatment works to destroy fat through the injection of deoxycholic acid.
APPROVED USE AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
It is not known if KYBELLA® is safe and effective for the treatment of fat outside of the submental area or in children under 18 years of age.
The answer is yes, it can. Oftentimes, sagging skin around the jawline can be caused by excess fat, and Kybella can effectively dissolve these cells over time. Not only can Kybella treat jowls, but it can also be combined with other treatments for optimal results.
Patients who undergo CoolSculpting report bruising in the area, swelling and redness, pain and stinging throughout the course of treatment, aching, skin sensitivity, and more. These side effects can last for up to two weeks after a treatment session, interfering with your daily quality of life.
The results of CoolSculpting do not appear immediately. The process of flushing the frozen fat cells from the body takes a total of between one and three months (sometimes more). You should start to see an initial improvement in the treated area or areas approximately three weeks after your CoolSculpting treatment.
Some people see results after just one or two CoolSculpting® Elite treatments. However, it's a good idea to expect multiple treatment sessions for body areas with higher fat density, like the stomach or thighs.
RealSelf members who said CoolSculpting is “Worth It” saw a significant improvement. Results can be permanent, if you don't gain weight later. Reducing excess body fat can be a strong motivator to kick-start a healthy lifestyle that includes a wholesome diet and exercise.
You will see noticeable results between one and three months after your first treatment session. The fat cells are slowly removed from the body, and it may take as many as four to six months after your final treatment to see the results of your treatment.
How long do results last? Your CoolSculpting results should last indefinitely. That's because once CoolSculpting kills off fat cells, they do not come back. But if you gain weight after your CoolSculpting treatment, you may gain fat back in the treated area or areas.
Saggy jowls, simply put, are caused by a loss of elasticity in the skin of the lower face. This is typically caused by a decrease in the body's own collagen production, which typically starts to develop in patients who are in their late 30's or early 40's, though it can develop earlier.
One of the main benefits of microneedling is that it can help stimulate collagen production, which can lead to firmer, smoother skin. This can in turn help reduce the appearance of jowls. Microneedling is usually performed in a series of treatments, spaced out over several weeks or months.
