Concern
Sagging Jowls
Sagging along the jawline, or jowls, develops as skin loses firmness and facial support changes with age, softening the lower face.
Skin-tightening and collagen-stimulating treatments can help lift and firm the area for a more defined lower face.
Causes
What Causes Sagging Jowls?
Jowls form as collagen and elastin decline, facial fat descends and skin becomes less elastic, allowing the lower face to sag.

Expert Tips
Dr Alexa's Advice
Start earlier for prevention
Supporting collagen before significant laxity sets in helps maintain definition.
Combine firming and support
Skin tightening alongside collagen stimulation gives the best lift.
