Jawline contouring involves the application of dermal fillers to help lengthen, enhance and define the chin and jawline area. This treatment is often used to improve the appearance of a weak chin or sagging skin around the jawline, known as jowls.
Genetics will often influence the look of your lower face, with ageing contributing to changing facial characteristics as the internal structure weakens. Jawline re-contouring can help to replace firmness and fullness to the skin, restoring a sharper look to this area.
When addressing a weak chin, this treatment adds volume where it is needed to provide a stronger look and more balanced profile.
Your concerns and desired result will be discussed at a pre-treatment consultation, from which a suitable plan of action will be advised. Here at Pristine Vitality Clinic, we use high quality brands of dermal fillers, containing hyaluronic acid which are renowned for their safety and ability to produce successful outcomes for many of our patients.
During the treatment dermal fillers will be expertly applied at various points along the jawline. The results can provide a smoother look that subtly lifts the skin, as well as creating enhanced definition and a more balanced look to the entire face.
Jawline contouring can be used on its own or as part of a variety of treatments to refresh the whole of the face and neck. The results may be seen immediately after the procedure, developing further in the few days that follow.
You will need to take care around the filled area immediately following your treatment, avoiding unnecessary touching or pressure for the first six hours. Maintaining long-term results will require regular follow-up sessions every 12 – 18 months.

HOW MUCH DOWNTIME CAN I EXPECT?
Although this treatment may cause you some slight sensitivity, it should not cause you any disruption to your day.

However, many patients prefer to stay at home while any swelling and redness subsides.
