Chin & Jawline Filler is an increasingly popular treatment for both male and females.
When placed strategically, filler in this region of the face can help create a stunning, well-defined chin and jawline.
We can use dermal filler to enhance existing features, providing you with a sharper, more proportionate appearance or to stretch the skin and define the chin and jowl area, preventing the need for a surgical facelift.
‘Jowls’ is the name given to the sagging skin that appears below your chin or jaw line as you age. Almost everyone will develop jowls over time, as the skin becomes thinner and less elastic.
There can be many factors that lead to the development of jowls including; age, genetics, smoking, excessive sun exposure, weight loss, and extensive use of telephones and computers.
Reshaping your chin and jaw line and treating jowls.
As you get older, collagen and elastin production starts to reduce and the skin around your mouth loses its firmness and then begins to sag. Using dermal fillers is a great solution. The filler is strategically injected into your chin and jawline via a needle and blunt micro-cannula to mask the jowls and to make them appear less saggy. Dermal fillers promote the production of collagen and elastin by your body, so any subsequent treatments should require the use of less injected material.
The dermal filler is placed in the gap between the chin and the jowl. It will not elevate the jowl, but it will mask it by providing a smooth transition from the chin to the jaw line by filling the hollow.
How does the treatment take place?
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the injection sites 15-20 minutes before the treatment takes place. The filler is then injected at precise locations and the skin is massaged to smooth out the material.
How long will the treatment last?
Depending on the areas treated and the metabolism rate of the patient, dermal fillers in this region can last from 12-24 months. The Hyaluronic Acid in the filler is broken down naturally by the body so you will need repeat treatments over time to maintain the appearance.
