TREND ALERT: A Defined Jawline
/A defined jawline is going to be one of the biggest trends in cosmetic dermatology this year! Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an uptick in clients asking to contour their jawline. A defined neck and jawline are not new requests. Aging clients have been asking for this service for years.
What’s unique about this year’s trend is that more 20 somethings are looking for ways to contour their jawline. Experts believe this trend is fueled by social media. In today’s world, we’re constantly looking at ourselves through the lens of a camera and how we appear publicly on social media. The result is people younger and younger are seeking ways to perfect their appearance.
While a plastic surgeon certainly could help, there are non-invasive alternatives that can also get the job done.
The Cause of a Sagging Jawline
Before we talk about solutions, let’s discuss the cause of a sagging jawline. Aside from genetics, sagging skin around the jawline is what causes the area to lose definition. Sagging skin happens over time as we age and our skin loses elasticity and firmness.
Non-Surgical Solutions to Achieve a Defined Jawline
If you’d like to achieve that “snatched” jawline you’re seeing among celebrities and social media influencers, the solution lies in being able to increase collagen production and ultimately tighten up your skin. There are several non-surgical ways to accomplish that.
Skin Care Products
Using skin care products with skin tightening ingredients is the first step in achieving your goals. Look for products that include epidermal growth factor, retinol, peptides and amino acids. Ingredients like this work to improve the skin’s elasticity from a topical standpoint.
Radiofrequency Treatments
According to our anti-aging expert, Marie Reyes, radiofrequency treatments like our Venus Freeze, can help improve the appearance of sagging skin. Venus Freeze is a cutting-edge treatment that combines the use of radiofrequency technology with magnetic pulses to tighten skin.
Ultherapy – The Non-Invasive Alternative to a Facelift
Ultherapy uses direct sound waves to target the same layers of tissue addressed in surgery. This technology penetrates deep into the skin and gently heats the tissue to lift and tighten the skin from the inside, out! You’ll see visible results within about a month but below the skin’s surface, it also works as a catalyst to help your body start producing collagen again. Our clients prefer Ultherapy for jaw definition, over alternative treatments like Kybella. With Ultherapy, there is no down time and none that annoying post-treatment swelling! It’s great for the defining a jawline and so much more.
Dermal Fillers
When strategically placed by an expert injector, dermal fillers can be used to create the appearance of a more contoured jawline. There are many options when it comes to dermal fillers and SkinSpaMED proudly offers many of them!

Depending on your goals, we may use a combination of non-surgical solutions to get you there. Non-surgical solutions are far less expensive and require little to no down time, unlike plastic surgery.
