Working together, radiofrequency microneedling and HIFU offer a powerful solution to sagging jowls, redefining the jawline with a natural finish.
Saggy Neck Skin
ThermiTight or a subcutaneous Profound (medical micro-needling with radiofrequency energy) treatment can successfully reduce lax skin or saggy tissue along the neck. These techniques tighten these thin tissues, giving droopy skin a significant lift and youthful appearance.
Ultherapy treatments stimulate the skin from the inside out to smooth and tighten many areas, including the face, jowls, eyes, and brow. Ultherapy is also effective for lifting the skin on specific areas of the body, including the neck, chest, knees, and stomach.
There are several options for treating sagging jowls or reducing how saggy or droopy they appear. Surgical procedures, such as neck lifts, can tighten your skin and make it look less saggy. Nonsurgical procedures, such as thermage, lasers, and peels, can change the composition of the collagen in your skin.
Jowls form. Fillers counteract that aging process by adding fullness to the cheeks, which restores skin to its original position, softening nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines (creases running from the corner of the mouth to the chin) and jowls.
Microneedling is generally a safe and effective procedure that can improve the appearance of the skin. It may reduce wrinkles, diminish scarring, and tighten or rejuvenate loose or aging skin.
Microneedling RF helps firm and tighten crepey skin and reverses the early signs of skin laxity. This is ideal for the face, skin around the eyes, jowls, skin on neck, chest and arms.
Microneedling helps the body remodel, rejuvenate, and heal itself without thermal energy, chemicals, light, or lasers. It is effective for double chin removal, skin tightening and lifting, removing fine lines, lightening hyperpigmentation, treating acne scars, and more.
Facelift – Facelift surgery is often considered the ideal solution for moderate to significant jowling. Designed to lift and tighten sagging facial tissue, this procedure can effectively reduce the appearance of jowls and create a more defined jawline.
For a more efficient and proven way to tighten jowls and neck without surgery, there are several noninvasive cosmetic treatments available. Some of these treatments include injectable fillers, botox, Kybella, and radiotherapy.

Yes! Microneedling really can reduce the appearance of cellulite on the body. Many patients are surprised to learn that the treatment they use to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring on the face can also be used on the body to smooth the appearance and feel of cellulite present on the bottom half of the body.
7. You can use your microneedling device on the body, too. At-home microneedling devices also come in larger sizes, which allows you to treat larger areas—like abdomen, thighs, legs, buttocks, hands, arms, neck and back—twice as fast as you would with a smaller roller head.
Microneedling isn't exclusive to just the face. While it's the area of skin that is most often treated, the procedure can be done anywhere the skin on the body needs a collagen boost, particularly those that have stretch marks, like the legs, chest, or butt.
Your results will last anywhere from three to five months, and many patients schedule follow-up treatments twice a year to maintain their results. Taking good care of your skin through a conscientious at-home beauty routine can help preserve your results.
Chemical peels generally work best on superficial imperfections; conversely, microneedling penetrates deeper to improve more troublesome issues. Many people with wrinkles find a combination of microneedling and chemical peels deliver the best results.

Then, hyaluronic acid is precisely injected at several sites along the zygomatic arch to build cheek structure, soften nasolabial folds, restore the malar fat pad, and achieve natural lifting. Subsequent treatment of the lower lateral cheek and submental area, helps lift the jawline, reduce jowls, and slim the face.
