As our skin becomes thinner with age and the fat layer underneath declines, men and women in Mississauga and Toronto begin to notice sagging jowls - the sagging skin below jawline and chin. Dermal fillers tighten sagging jowls Toronto and contour jawline Toronto applied by an expert injector using the right technique customized to your individual appearance can reduce the appearance of sagging skin.

What causes jowls?

Jowls near me can start to appear when our skin begins to produce less collagen and elastin as early as 25 years of age. Jowls can also appear when there has been a loss of fat due to weight loss. Genetics is also a factor so if either of your parents have jowls, you may even develop jowls as early as in your twenties. Jowls are less pronounced in people when there is more collagen in the skin, more fat or when skin is thicker.

What does a dermal filler do?

Dermal fillers jowls near me are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural, hydrating substance produced by the body that hydrates the skin while replacing the lost volume that causes jowls to appear. When applied to the jawline, dermal fillers tighten and raise the skin back to its original state to reduce the lost volume. Most fillers cost between $500 and $700 a syringe and last up to one year.

Radiesse is a specialized dermal filler made of calcium hydroxyapatite that fills lost volume and stimulates collagen production over time. It provides a structure that mimics connective tissue to prevent sagging skin and after being absorbed by the body, will leave the collagen in place. Radiesse will cost from $700 to $1200 each syringe depending on the area treated and can last up to two years.

Both types of dermal fillers can be conveniently applied, usually in under an hour with no recovery time. The results are long lasting and are much more affordable than surgery.

Prevention

Taking action to address sagging skin can start in our 30s with treatments like platelet rich plasma (PRP) also known as vampire facials that will boost collagen and elastin production to tighten and brighten the skin. Collagen and elastin are the proteins that make up the connective tissue in our skin that will help your skin return to its normal shape even after it’s been stretched.

When jowls start to emerge, dermal fillers can tighten the skin to prevent further sagging or when Radiesse fillers are applied, you can also replenish lost collagen and elastin.

When sagging skin is not treated, your only choice may be surgery which would be very costly and require longer downtime.
