Jowl help - what I can do to help plump that sagging area? (Photo)

Hello Julie30011 and thank you for your question! Based on your goals and history with Sculptra, both Morpheus8 and Sylfirm X are excellent non-surgical options to address the sagging skin around your mouth. Morpheus8 uses deep radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin, helping to tighten and firm the lower face with results that improve over time. It’s particularly effective for deeper laxity and can complement the collagen-building effects of Sculptra.

Sylfirm X is a more advanced RF microneedling treatment that uses pulsed wave technology, offering a gentler approach with minimal downtime. It’s great for improving skin texture, fine lines, and mild sagging while enhancing overall skin quality. If your main concern is deeper sagging, Morpheus8 may be the stronger choice; for skin refinement and subtle lift, Sylfirm X is a great option. You can also consider combining both treatments for enhanced, long-lasting results.

As always, be sure to research and find an experienced provider, as the success of these treatments lies largely within the hands of the person performing the treatment!

Best of luck!

For addressing sagging skin around the mouth and plumping the jowl area without resorting to a surgical facelift, there are several non-surgical options you might consider:

1. Dermal Fillers:

Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm or Restylane, can be used to add volume and lift to the jowl area. They provide immediate results and can last from 6 months to over a year, depending on the product used.
2. Sculptra Aesthetic:

Since you have previously used Sculptra, continuing with this treatment can help stimulate collagen production over time, improving skin structure and volume. Discuss with your provider the possibility of additional sessions to address the jowl area specifically.
3. Radiofrequency Treatments:

Treatments such as Thermage or Profound RF use radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening skin. These can be effective for mild to moderate sagging.
4. Ultrasound Therapy:

Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound to lift and tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production. It is particularly beneficial for mild sagging and can offer gradual improvements over several months.
5. Thread Lifts:

A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure where temporary sutures are used to lift the skin. It offers immediate results with minimal downtime and can be a good option if you're looking for a subtle lift.
6. Skincare Regimen:

Incorporating products with ingredients like retinoids, peptides, and antioxidants can support skin health and improve elasticity over time.
7. Consultation with a Specialist:

It's best to consult with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific needs and recommend a tailored treatment plan.
Each of these options has its own benefits and considerations, so discussing them with a qualified professional will help you decide the best approach for achieving your desired outcome.

You may have the best outcome from more than one treatment method. Renuva is an option that helps replace age related volume loss. When injected you will have the effects of typical HA filler, but what makes Renuva special is that over time the product is replaced by your own fat cells. This gives longer lasting results. You can also consider FaceTite which is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anesthesia. It uses RF technology to tighten skin.
