Facial sagging can affect all of us to varying degrees as we start to age. Our self image is often one of the motivating factors behind us seeking facial aesthetic treatments. When we age, there are two main proteins naturally found in the skin that begin to depreciate.

Facial sagging can affect all of us to varying degrees as we start to age. Our self image is often one of the motivating factors behind us seeking facial aesthetic treatments. When we age, there are two main proteins naturally found in the skin that begin to depreciate. These proteins are collagen and elastin. When the production of these proteins starts to slow down, this weakens the structure of the skin and stops the features from holding their more youthful form.

As well as the slowing in production of collagen and elastin, we also lose natural hydration as well as a reduction in our natural fat pads.

Slack or sagging skin under the jawline is typically associated with the term, jowls. Because of the inevitable loss in volume, hydration and elasticity as our skin starts to age, the mid and lower face are particularly vulnerable to changes, one of which is the formation of Jowls.

The essential proteins and the connective tissues are what keeps our skin taught and play a large part in its ability to bounce back, therefore when the fatty deposits gather beneath the jawline and weigh the skin down, this causes the appearance of ‘hanging’ in the lower face.

A less commonly known contributing factor is that our bones that form the facial structure also begin to shrink, and therefore the ‘scaffolding’ that once supported our draped skin starts to betray us.

At Nassif MedSpa we use dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxing injections to help restore lost collagen, improve elasticity, plump and hydrate the skin; gently lifting and tightening the jawline so as to diminish the appearance of jowls and aid in tightening facial sagging.

By replacing the substances that once helped to support a firm skin structure, the heavy look of jowls and sagging skin can be reduced.

From our thirties, collagen production falls and the ligaments and fat pads that support the cheeks weaken. Volume descends toward the jaw, softening the jawline and forming jowls.

A combination approach works best: dermal fillers and collagen stimulators such as Ellansé and Juläine restore support and structure, our non-surgical facelift rebalances the mid-face, and Sciton SkinTyte firms the skin along the jaw and neck.

Filler-based results are immediate, while tightening and collagen-stimulating treatments build over two to three months. Your practitioner will map out a realistic plan and timeline at consultation.

All treatments at Nassif MedSpa are carried out by trained, experienced practitioners using medically approved products and technology.
