Is Thermage/ RF a good treatment for Jowling at 27? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I am 27 years old and have noticed jowling around my chin. My med clinic has recommended thermage/forma. However, I have heard mixed messages about this treatment and its danger in regards to fat loss. Is there a better treatment at this age for preventing further jowling?

Hi there! At 27, it’s great that you’re paying attention to your skin’s early signs of laxity. Jowling at a younger age is usually subtle and often related to genetics, early volume loss, or mild skin laxity.
Radiofrequency treatments like Thermage or Forma can help with mild skin tightening by stimulating collagen. They are generally safe when performed by a trained provider and can give subtle lifting and improved firmness over time. However, at your age, the results are often preventative rather than dramatic, these treatments don’t replace surgical intervention if significant jowling develops later. Also, they don’t target fat directly; they tighten skin, so concerns about “fat loss” aren’t usually an issue.
For someone in their late 20s, non-invasive options to prevent further jowling include:
Consistent use of sunscreen and topical antioxidants to protect collagenMaintaining good skin hydration and healthMinimally invasive treatments like microneedling with RF, or early skin tightening devices for mild saggingStrategic filler in the midface and jawline to support structure and prevent early descent
Early intervention often focuses on prevention and maintaining structure rather than reversing advanced jowling. A personalized assessment will determine what combination of treatments is best for your skin type, bone structure, and goals.
Aesthetic treatments should always be discussed with and performed by a trained, licensed, and medically certified aesthetic provider. The recommendations above are for educational purposes only and do not replace an in-person consultation, examination, or personalized medical advice.
