Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are effective, non-surgical options for enhancing the jawline. These fillers add subtle volume and definition along the jawline to create a more defined facial profile. As we age, we naturally lose facial volume, collagen, and elastin, which can lead to sagging skin, and changes in facial contours. Dermal fillers help restore lost volume and create a more refreshed, balanced appearance.
One of our most popular dermal filler treatments is facial balancing. Rather than focusing on a single area, like the chin, facial balancing evaluates your features as a whole to enhance overall facial harmony. This top-down approach often leads to more natural-looking results. For example, the temples are frequently overlooked, but restoring volume in this area can create a subtle lifting effect, smooth the transition between the forehead and cheeks, and even enhance jawline definition, without directly injecting the jawline.
Neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify and Letybo)
Neurotoxins, such as Botox, help sculpt the jawline by relaxing specific muscles. This cosmetic treatment slims the lower face by treating enlarged masseter muscles; these muscles are located at the back of the jaw and the primary muscles used for chewing. Your nurse injector will inject tox (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify and Letybo) into the masseter muscles to relax them, so they gradually decrease in size to create a softer, more tapered jawline.
You’ll see changes within four to six weeks as your jawline becomes slimmer, with more noticeable results over the next few months. Neurotoxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify and Letybo) results usually last three to four months, and regular treatments may be recommended to maintain long-lasting aesthetic improvements.
Biostimulators (Sculptra & Radiesse)
Biostimulators (i.e. Sculptra and Radiesse) can enhance the jawline by stimulating your body's natural collagen production. As your body produces new collagen, the skin becomes firmer, creating a more defined jawline while maintaining a natural-looking appearance. With Radiesse, definition in the jaw could be noticeable right away while also supporting long-term collagen production, whereas Sculptra gradually rebuilds collagen and restores facial volume.
Kybella
A double chin can make the jawline appear less defined. Kybella is an injectable treatment that contains deoxycholic acid, a compound that breaks down and eliminates fat cells to target this stubborn chin fat and enhance jawline definition. Because the body needs time to break down and remove the treated fat cells, results appear gradually over several weeks. Most patients need two to four treatment sessions spaced about one month apart. Once the targeted fat cells are eliminated, results are long-lasting. Some swelling is expected after each treatment.
Radiofrequency Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling helps contour the jawline by tightening and firming the skin, as well as stimulating collagen production. Dermal fillers add volume and Botox relaxes muscles, which radiofrequency microneedling works by stimulating collagen production to tighten the skin, smooth uneven skin texture, and enhance overall facial definition.
Results from radiofrequency microneedling show over time as your skin produces new collagen. The final results usually are visible over the next fews weeks to a month. A series of treatments may be recommended so you have the best outcome.
