Does Thermage Work for Jawline Sagging and Jowls?

Is Thermage the best way to tighten your jowl?  I would say unequivocally, No.  A Facelift procedure is most likely to address your concerns.  Can Thermage provide some benefit?  It can.  However, the results on Thermage have been very mixed and it might not be the best way to spend your money.

Although Thermage will work in this area, I would recommend the Ulthera treatment for the lower face and upper neck areas. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

When I tighten the jaw line, to elevate the jowls, I treat the face to help lift, and the neck as well after I focus on the jaw and peform vectors of treatment from the jowl up the cheek. The neck treatment helps pull down at the angle of the jaw so the two different forces can help tighten the line

Many patients simply wait to long to seek age reversal treatments. You are smart to seek advice at the first sign of a problem. It is highly unlikely that someone 44 years old has laxity severe enough to justify the cost and risks of a facelift. On the other hand, someone who has done nothing and is in their 60's likely needs drastic treatment to see results. Please see a reputable doctor who will outline your options and weigh the relative need and risk for each procedure. In my hands a combination of filler along the jaw line, Botox into the upper neck and Thermage can be the perfect trio to help you avoid surgery.

Thermage is a non-invasive (no incision!) treatment that can tighten skin,renew facial contours, and stimulate your body to make healthier collagen—thebuilding block that provides structure to your skin.
The procedure uses radiofrequency technology called ThermaCool that has beenclinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles andrenew facial contours. Fast and easy, Thermage requires no downtime from normalactivities. And unlike laser treatments, Thermage can be performed on patientsof all skin types. Thermage can be used not only for sagging facial, neck, andeyelid skin; but also all over the body, including flabby arms, hands, andlegs. Now approved by the FDA for improving cellulite. Tighten and lift withoutsurgery, injections, or downtime.
However, Thermage can have variable results if not performed by an experienceddoctor. The best way to protect yourself is to consult a board-certifiedplastic surgeon who is professionally bound to engage only in techniques thathave been deemed safe--after rigorous testing.
