Natural Biostimulatory Treatments to Rejuvenate Your Skin
You can move toward your cosmetic goals by tapping into your body’s naturally occurring regenerative abilities. Here are just four biostimulatory treatments that might be right for you.
Nonsurgical Solutions for Early Jowling
As you age, your skin loses its tautness. Your body produces less collagen and elastin, two proteins that support your skin and give it its elasticity. You might notice your skin hanging off your upper arms when they’re raised, or some extra skin around your stomach.
This issue is most troubling, though, when it affects your face. As the area people see most, you don’t want anything that could make you look older and more worn down.
That’s why jowls — and particularly early jowling — can be so bothersome.
Fortunately, if you’re living with excess skin around your jawline, you don’t necessarily need surgery to correct the issue. Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, has multiple treatments she can explore with you to help.
Visit us at Hanami Medspa in Fort Worth, Texas. Here, we can explore how options like platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) filler, radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, or other treatments can alleviate your early jowling.
Tailoring treatment for your early jowling
When you visit our office, we evaluate your skin, profile, and cosmetic goals. This allows Dr. Phuah to customize the right treatment program specifically for you.
In some cases, for example, jowls develop because of collagen and elastin loss, leading to sagging skin. In other cases, the problem is more muscular. Losing muscle tone in your face, repeatedly making certain facial expressions, or continually looking down at your phone can all contribute to early jowling.
Because Dr. Phuah and our team have multiple treatments that can help with jowls, we can tailor a plan specifically for you. Tell us about your overall cosmetic goals so we can identify the right options for your skin and your desired outcome.
Jowl treatment options
To give you an idea of how we can help with early jowling, let’s look at a couple of treatment categories Dr. Phuah might explore with you.
Fillers
If excess skin is behind your jowls, we can use fillers to add volume under that skin, preventing it from sagging.
Generally, though, we go beyond standard fillers. Instead, our team often recommends fillers that will stimulate collagen production, helping your skin bolster its support system. In this way, we target the jowl now and help your skin get resources it can use to fight jowling moving forward.
For example, we might recommend PRF filler. This option uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate regeneration in your skin.
Or Dr. Phuah might suggest Sculptra®, which introduces poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) into your skin. This supports new collagen production.
Radiofrequency-backed treatment
Alternatively, we can send radiofrequency (RF) energy safely into your skin to help with jowls.
Radiofrequency microneedling, for example, can trigger your skin to produce collagen and elastin. This gives you a minimally invasive way to remodel the area around your jawline.
If a muscular deficiency is part of the problem behind your early jowling, we might recommend other RF treatments. triLift™ allows us to use RF microneedling and dynamic muscle stimulation. Toning the muscles along your jawline as the RF goes to work gives you a targeted and nonsurgical way to address your cosmetic issue.
Clearly, you have options. To talk with our team about the right treatment plan for you, call us at Hanami Medspa or make an appointment online today.
