What causes a jowl?
Jowls can occur due to a number of reasons, from ageing and loss of skin elasticity to our lifestyle, habits and genetics. Everything we do can contribute to the quality of our skin, making skincare, proper diet, and avoiding habits like smoking essential. Some of the key factors that can cause jowls include:
- Ageing
- Genetics
- Excessive sun exposure
- Lack of a skincare routine
- Unhealthy diet and habits
- Loss of collagen and elastin
How can a jowl be treated?
People often try various means to remedy the presence of jowls, whether through massage therapies or other known methods. Cosmetic treatments have shown proven results in minimising jowls for a younger-looking, contoured appearance. Cosmetic practitioners address your jowls through a number of treatment options:
- Dermal fillers
- Thread lift for jowls
- Skin tightening treatment
- Laser resurfacing
- Microneedling
While there is no lack of treatment to address jowls, thread lift for sagging jowls is a popular method of treatment that offers amazing results.
How Does a Jowl Thread Lift Work?
A jowl thread lift is a procedure that non-surgically gives your sagging jowls a lift. The procedure makes use of PDO (polydioxanone) threads that are inserted below the skin’s surface to lift the skin and offer support. The threads help contour the jawline for a more defined appearance, minimise the visible sagging, and make you look younger.
Using a minimally invasive technique, the procedure tightens the skin and helps you appear rejuvenated. The threads used ensure collagen production and dissolve over time as your body metabolises it.
Who is Eligible for a Thread Lift?
Worried if a PDO thread lift for jowls is right for you? This treatment is safe to carry out, offers effective outcomes, and requires no surgical cuts and incisions. You can undergo a jowl lift with threading if you:
- Have prominent skin laxity around the jowls
- Need a quick and non-invasive solution for the jowls
- Have no worrying health concerns
- Have a skin thickness that supports thread lifts
- Have realistic expectations from the treatment
- Have been assessed and recommended a thread lift by a trusted aesthetician
Anyone with mild to moderate jowls and sagging can be considered an ideal candidate for a jowl lift using threads in Melbourne.
The Benefits Of a Jowl Thread Lift
With the right practitioner carrying out your treatment, your jowl thread lift in Melbourne can offer notable results, without being too complex. Here are all of the benefits of a thread lift for jowls:
- The procedure is minimally invasive and non-surgical
- You can see immediate results following your treatment
- The results appear natural
- There is almost no downtime involved, allowing you to resume your routine if not strenuous
- The procedure stimulates the production of collagen, ensuring lasting results
Compared to a surgical lift, thread lifts are safer, quicker, and take very little time to heal.
What To Expect from a Jowl Thread Lift?
Before you undergo a thread lift for your jowls, your practitioner will help you understand the outcome you can expect realistically. Patient images of a PDO thread lift before and after jowls appear prominent can give you an idea of what to expect from a thread lift.
During your procedure, our team of practitioners will carefully and strategically insert the PDO threads into predetermined areas to give it a gentle yet prominent lift. While you may notice some swelling and mild discomfort following the procedure, these side effects subside in a day or two, leaving only a visible lift that makes you appear younger. The results are also immediate and improve over time with collagen production being stimulated.
The Cost Of a Jowl Thread Lift
Your jowl thread lift cost will vary depending on the number of threads being used and the extent of treatment required for you. We help you understand the procedure and its cost through a personalised consultation where we assess your needs and tailor solutions for you.
