How to Get Rid of Jowls?

Have you got a photo from 10 years ago? Hold it up next to your mirror reflection. Notice a little extra "something" under the chin? Yep, that's a jowl—time's signature on your face! Jowl is one of the most common—yet also one of the least desired—signs of aging also known as double chin. As we age, it's extremely usual that the distinctions between our cheekbone, jawline and neck begin to blur.

The good news is that there are several non-surgical solutions for treating jowls. The better news is that we offer a 4 in 1 anti-aging wand that helps you treat jowls safely, gently and with minimally invasive procedures at home by yourself!

In this blog, we're going to show you how to get rid of jowls. Let's get into it.

 

What Are Jowls?

Jowls are the sagging skin that appears around the jawline and chin. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, droops and forms these folds. Almost everyone experiences jowls at some point, and they are a normal part of the aging process.

However, many people want to reduce or eliminate jowls because they can make the face look older or less defined.

Causes of Jowls

 

Natural Aging Process

Jowls mainly form due to the natural aging process. As we age, our skin loses important proteins like collagen and elastin that keep it firm and stretchy. Without these, the skin becomes loose and begins to sag. Gravity also pulls the skin downward, particularly around the jawline and chin. While it’s not the main cause, it does speed up the sagging process, acting as a catalyst alongside other factors.

 

Genetics

Genetics can also be a cause of jowls. If your family members have noticeable jowls, you may be more likely to develop them as well. Inherited traits, like skin type and how quickly your skin loses elasticity, can affect how early and how much jowling occurs.

 

Lifestyle Factors

Some lifestyle habits can speed up the appearance of jowls. Sun exposure and unhealthy diet can result in sagging skin. Staying dehydrated or going through weight changes also affects the skin’s firmness. Even everyday actions like chewing gum or frowning too much can overwork the muscles, and lead to jowls over time.

 

 

 

Prevention of Jowls

 

Healthy Lifestyle Habits

Even though good habits won't completely stop jowls from forming, they can make a big difference in keeping your skin healthier and firmer. Taking care of your skin gives it the best shot at staying strong and resilient. When your skin is more nutritious, it's less likely to sag, which means that over time, these habits can help with jowls.

So, to ultimately prevent jowls:

• Drinking plenty of water every day, as this helps keep your skin firm.
• Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing, as too much sun can damage the skin.
• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol, as both can speed up skin aging.
• Keep a stable, healthy weight to help prevent the skin from sagging.

 

Skincare Routine

A good skincare routine can also slow down the development of jowls:

• Use moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated.
• Look for products with retinoids or antioxidants like vitamins C and E.

The Therapeutic Warmth feature of Kallinz's 4-in-1 Skincare Wand can enhance your blood flow and help your skincare products absorb better. The result is better hydration, less redness, brighter skin, and, more importantly, a firmer look.

 

Facial Exercises

Facial exercises can be helpful, but they do have their limits. They won't completely prevent jowls but can tone the muscles around the face and jawline. So, they can reduce sagging or at least slow down the appearance of jowls.

 

 

Non-Surgical Treatments for Jowls

There are several non-surgical treatments to help reduce the appearance of jowls.

 

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers, like hyaluronic acid or Juvederm, are very popular for skin care. These fillers are injected into the skin. They bring back lost volume and lift areas that have started to sag. The longevity of the results depends on the type of filler used. The results can last anywhere from a few months to over a year. While costs can vary, fillers tend to be a more affordable option than surgery.

The microcurrent feature of Kallinz's anti-aging wand can gently stimulate your facial muscles and lift and tighten your skin over time. This firming effect is very similar to filers but without the needles!

 

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is another great non-invasive option that uses ultrasound technology to boost collagen production deep in your skin, helping to tighten things up and reduce sagging. For many people, just one session does the trick, and since there's little to no recovery time, you can get back to your routine right away. The best part? Results keep improving over the next few months as more collagen is produced.

If you're looking for something you can do at home, the Red Light Therapy feature on Kallinz's 4-in-1 skincare Wand is a great alternative. Red light therapy can stimulate collagen production, thus improving skin elasticity and finally slowly diminishing the jowls over time.

 

Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments

Radiofrequency (RF) treatments, like Pelleve and Thermage, are another option for tightening jowls. These treatments use RF energy to heat the skin and trigger collagen production gently. As a result, your skin becomes firmer and more lifted, and jowls begin to disappear. The best part about this treatment is that it's non-invasive, causes minimal discomfort, and requires very little recovery time.

 

Laser Therapy and Chemical Peels

Laser therapy and chemical peels are also great options for treating jowls. Laser treatments work by applying focused light energy to damaged skin cells to repair them and encourage the growth of fresh, new skin.

Meanwhile, chemical peels exfoliate the top layer of skin and result in smoother, firmer skin.

Both treatments can help reduce sagging, but you may need a few sessions to see the best results.

 

Minimally Invasive Options

 

Thread Lifting

In thread lifting, the sagging skin is lifted by temporary sutures. This simple procedure distinguishes the jawline and can last up to a year. Additionally, its recovery time is short, and results come almost immediately. This method delivers a noticeable change without surgery. The effects aren’t permanent, but the procedure can easily be repeated at any time.

 

Fat-Freezing (CoolSculpting)

The next option is fat-freezing or CoolSculpting. This treatment uses cooling technology to reduce fat under the chin and is very suitable when the fat around the jawline is extra. One of the best things about this method is that it doesn’t require any downtime. However, it can take a few months to see the full effect.

 

Botox

Botox also is effective when it comes to treating jowls if the sagging is mild. It relaxes the muscles in the neck and jaw and makes the skin appear tighter. This treatment, known as the Nefertiti lift, is quick, easy, and doesn’t require any downtime. The effects usually last for a few months, but you can always repeat the treatment as needed. Plus, since the procedure is so simple, you can fit it into your routine.

 

 

Surgical Treatments for Jowls

 

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

For more noticeable and long-lasting results, surgery is always the most suitable treatment. A full facelift, or rhytidectomy, tightens the skin and muscles across the whole face, including the jowls. It is recommended in case of severe sagging, but normally, it requires a longer recovery time and, of course, higher risks.

 

Neck Lift

Another surgical option is a neck lift. Neck lift removes extra skin and tightens the muscles around your neck and jawline. The results are long-lasting, but it can be a bit pricier and, like any surgery, comes with risks such as scarring or infection. Both facelifts and neck lifts offer permanent changes, but they do require more time to heal and need careful aftercare to ensure everything goes smoothly.

 

Complementary Therapies

 

Facial Massage and Lymphatic Drainage

Facial massage and lymphatic drainage, as complementary therapies, help improve skin elasticity. These massages help flush out toxins and ultimately make the skin look firmer and refreshed. Over time, regular facial massages might even help reduce puffiness and support your skin’s natural ability to stay firm.

 

Face Yoga

Face yoga exercises also can improve your facial muscles. Regularly doing these specific movements can strengthen the muscles around your jawline and cheeks and ultimately reduce the jowls. The results can be subtle at first, but if you stick with it, you may notice long-term benefits in keeping your skin firmer over time.

Kallinz's wand's Facial massage mode works just like a spa massage. It helps ease tension in your facial muscles, reduce puffiness, and boost circulation, giving your skin a firmer appearance. It's a great addition to your regular skincare routine!

 

Choosing the Right Treatment

Picking the right treatment for jowls really depends on a few key factors, including:

• Age
• Severity of the jowls
• Lifestyle
• Budget (non-surgical vs. surgical options)
• Preference for a quick fix or a longer-lasting solution

 

Before deciding, talk to a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. They can take a look at your skin and recommend the best treatment for you.

 

 

How Kallinz's Anti-aging Wand Can Help with Jowls

 

The 4-in-1 Skincare Wand helps with jowls in a few ways:

 

• Red Light Therapy increases collagen production, which is super important for keeping your skin firm. Regular use of it tightens up the sagging skin around your jawline and reduces the jowls.
• Microcurrent gives your facial muscles a lift, tightens the skin, and makes your jawline look more defined and less saggy.
• Facial Massage increases blood flow, and thus reduces puffiness and keeps your skin elastic, softening the jowls.
• Therapeutic Warmth improves circulation and helps your skincare products sink in better, keeping your skin hydrated and more supple around the jawline.

 

 

These features work together to lift and tone your skin, making it an easy and effective way to reduce jowls and keep your jawline looking sharp.
