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.
Non-Surgical Jowl Treatments
One of the best technologies for treating the cause of jowls is radiofrequency. The question that we seek to answer during our thorough consultation and evaluation of the skin and face is which radiofrequency device may provide the best results.
Common facial exercises that may help improve jowls include: Yawning and opening the mouth as far as possible, then closing it very slowly without letting the teeth touch. Puckering the lips outwards. This exercise works best when done lying down, and by using the fingers to draw the sides of the mouth downwards.
Botox reduces sagging jowls by tightening and lifting the jaw area. This pulls back the excess sagging skin that creates jowls in the first place.

Thermage is better for patients who care more about addressing the texture and quality of sagging skin. It has the power to tackle problematic issues like cellulite or drooping fat thanks to its emphasis on contouring. However, Ultherapy is generally more effective when it comes to stimulating deeper skin layers.
The major disadvantages of Ultherapy mostly arise from variations in the technique and skill of the practitioner. There is the danger of a botched procedure: this could result in permanent side effects that could worsen the patient's appearance post-procedure.
