Non-surgical Skin Tightening Option for Younger Patient?
Hi! I am a 24 year old female. I've started to notice that my jaw is not as firm as it used to be. I think because I gained a lot of weight during my two pregnancies and have now lost the weight.
My face swelled up a lot and now my jowls are noticeably sagging. I thought that over time it will go back to normal but it has been almost two years.
Are there any non-surgical treatments or creams out there that really work? Most creams that I've seen for lifting are made for mature skin, I just need a lift/firm. Please advise. Thank you.

I have seen excellent results with the...

Young patient with jowls - perfect candidate for ulthera

You are probably a perfect candidate because your skin is still so youthful. Ulthera creates zones of injury via ultrasound heat. In response, your skin goes into overtime creating collagen. Increased collagen means increased firmness.
The upside is that it is completely noninvasive and safe. It takes about an hour,...
