Jowl Lift (Botox for Jowls) in Hemel Hempstead

Jowls develop as facial fat migrates downward with age and the muscles along the lower face begin to pull the skin in the same direction. Botulinum toxin injected into the depressor muscles of the lower face and jaw counters this downward pull, giving the tissue a chance to sit higher and creating a more defined, lifted jawline without surgery or fillers.

It works particularly well for clients who are in the early stages of jowling and want to address it before it becomes more pronounced.

What are the benefits?

• Lifted, softened jowls
• More defined jawline
• Slimmer, more contoured lower face
• No surgery, no downtime
• Works well as a standalone or combined with jawline filler

How does it work?

The depressor anguli oris (DAO) and platysma muscles pull the corners of the mouth and lower face tissue downward. By relaxing these muscles with botulinum toxin, the elevator muscles of the face are given less resistance to work against, which helps the lower face sit higher and the jawline appear cleaner.

What does the treatment involve?

Small, precise injections are placed at specific points along the lower jaw and jawline. The appointment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

How long do results last?

Results typically appear within one to two weeks and last three to four months.

Who is suitable?

This treatment is best suited to clients with mild to moderate jowling where there is still reasonable skin elasticity. It is less effective for very significant jowling with substantial skin laxity. A consultation will give us a clear picture of what is achievable for your specific anatomy.

Aftercare

• Avoid touching or massaging the jaw area for 24 hours
• Stay upright for four hours after treatment
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours

Frequently asked questions

Am I a suitable candidate?

You are likely a good candidate if you are in the early to moderate stages of jowling with good skin elasticity. If jowling is very advanced with significant skin excess, a surgical consultation may be more appropriate. We will give you an honest assessment at your consultation.

How is this different from using jawline filler?

Jawline filler adds structural volume and definition along the jaw. Jowl lift botox reduces the muscular forces pulling the lower face tissue downward. They address different aspects of the problem and work very well together. Many clients benefit from both.

Can I combine jowl lift botox with filler?

Yes, and combining both often gives a more comprehensive result. Filler creates structure and sharpens the jawline, while the botox reduces the downward muscular pull. Your practitioner will advise on the best combination at consultation.

Is it painful?

The injections are very quick and most clients find them very tolerable. Numbing cream can be applied on request.

How long until I see results?

Most clients notice a visible change within seven to fourteen days as the muscle fully relaxes. The two-week review gives us a chance to assess the result.
