Non-Surgical Jawline Contouring

At Kaya Cosmedica, we take a holistic approach to jawline contouring. Depending on your needs, your procedure may include a combination of therapies and even cosmeceutical-grade skincare. Some options we commonly use include:

Volume and contouring

This treatment involves adding volume along the mandible/jawbone to volumise, contour and support the lower face. This treatment can also be used to correct asymmetries in the lower face, enhance the chin and sculpt a more defined jawline. Results can be apparent immediately after the treatment, however can take up to 4 weeks for the full result.

Fine lines & Wrinkles

Lines and wrinkles appear over time as a result of the natural movement of your facial muscles. These muscles can be relaxed to reduce the creasing of the skin, softening fine lines and wrinkles.

The overly pronounced masseter muscle can also be treated to relax and soften its contour, narrowing the lower face. From a medical perspective, treatment of this muscle can also relieve jaw tension and teeth grinding.

Treatments of the platysma muscle can also reduce its downward pull, allowing the muscles that elevate the face to take over, resulting in softening of the jowls, and tightening of the jawline, enhancing its contour.

The chin muscle can also be relaxed to lengthen the chin area, and improve definition.

BioStimulators

Bio-stimulators can also be used to contour the jawline. As we lose collagen and elastin as we age, we see a significant reduction in the elasticity of our skin. Remodelling the skin of our jawline provides support and structure, resulting in more youthful definition. Bio-stimulators contain a calcium molecule similar to that found in skin and bones, which breaks down over a number of months and stimulates the body to produce its own natural collagen in the treatment area. Once placed along the jawline with a microcannula, the increased collagen provides long term results increasing volume and providing structure and lift to the area.

Ultherapy Skin Tightening

Ultherapy is also effective at stimulating collagen to provide tightening of the lower face and jawline.  Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deep SMAS layer below the skin surface, the same area addressed in a surgical lift. The energy generates a thermal effect in the tissue that triggers collagen growth. As new collagen develops, the skin and underlying tissues tighten, creating a lifting and tightening effect along the jawline, improving skin laxity. While other ultrasound devices are available (ie. HIFU), Ultherapy is the only device that allows ultrasound visualisation of the anatomical layers of the skin and tissues. This provides accurate and focused treatment, resulting in more effective and longer-lasting results.

Skincare And Skin Treatments

Achieving good skin enhances any results with treatment of the jawline area. Microneedling and LED therapy helps to induce collagen, strengthening the skin and dermal layers to provide better skin texture and skin tightness.

An effective skincare routine also helps to address anti-ageing concerns and is a good preventative measure. Active ingredients like Vitamin A stimulates and increased the production of collagen and elastin, and can help with reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, acne and even pigmentation.

Each patient’s needs and goals are unique, and each jawline contouring procedure is customised as a result. During your initial consultation, we will discuss your concerns and determine what combination of treatments is needed to achieve your desired results. We will also discuss the optimal schedule for ongoing touch-up treatments to maintain your results.

Once your treatment plan has been developed, Dr Khinda will administer the appropriate procedures to sculpt your new chin and jaw contours. The length of your treatment session will depend on the type and extent of the treatments you receive. Possible side effects will also vary depending on the injectables used, but every procedure involved in jawline contouring is minimally invasive and requires minimal downtime.

Jawline contouring is a versatile non-surgical procedure that can achieve a slimmer face, a stronger facial profile or a more youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgery. The best way to determine whether you’re a good candidate for non-surgical jawline contouring is to schedule a consultation with Dr Khinda or her cosmetic nurse injectors.
