For minimal results, minimally invasive treatments
The Thermage and Cutera Titan lasers have been advertised as being alternatives to a traditional facelift for tightening of the face. Somehow collagen is miraculously made which tightens the skin, rendering it tight, with a minimally invasive no downtime treatment. This is not even close to what actually happens.

The best treatment for saggy jowls is not a laser treatment
The best treatment for saggy jowls is not a laser treatment. I would probably recommend Ultherapy if you are not interested in face lift surgery. Face lift surgery will tighten the tissues around the jowls by lifting them. Ultherapy is a non-invasive way to lift tissues which will reduce the appearance of jowls. Ultherapy is a newer technology which works deeper than Thermage. It is preferable because the results actually work more like a surgical facelift.

Titan
The best Laser Treatment for jowls is Titan (Cutera; Brisbane, CA). Thermage uses different, non-laser technology and many believe it to be much less efficacious and/or, all too often, does not work at all. Titan specifically targets Collagen and stimulates new Collagen formation, thus rejuvnating and tightening skin. It does not hurt and does not interrupt your lifestyle. Combining Titan with other lasers (the so-called 3D treatment) greatly enhances the results.
