Achieving a well-defined jawline is a desire shared by many individuals seeking a more sculpted facial appearance. While surgical procedures like liposuction or facelifts have traditionally been the go-to options for jawline enhancement, advancements in medical aesthetics offer non-surgical alternatives that are both effective and minimally invasive.
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we understand the importance of feeling confident in your appearance, which is why we offer various treatments to help you define your jawline without surgery. In this article, we describe three non-surgical treatments for jawline enhancement.
1. Kybella
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable specifically designed to target submental fullness, commonly referred to as a "double chin." The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, Kybella works to destroy fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in the appearance of a double chin.
During your Kybella treatment at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, a series of injections will be administered strategically beneath your chin. The number of injections required will depend on your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. Over the following weeks, your body will naturally metabolize the destroyed fat cells, gradually revealing a more defined jawline. Kybella offers a convenient and virtually painless solution to eliminate excess submental fat without surgery.
2. Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are another popular option for enhancing the jawline and achieving a more youthful appearance. These injectable gels, typically composed of hyaluronic acid, are used to add volume and structure to areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging or genetics. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, our skilled practitioners can strategically inject dermal fillers like Juvéderm along the jawline to create a more defined and sculpted look.
By adding volume to areas that may appear hollow or sagging, dermal fillers can help sharpen the angles of the jaw and improve overall facial harmony. Dermal filler treatments are quick, relatively painless, and require minimal downtime, making them an attractive option for those seeking immediate results without surgery. Depending on the specific filler used, results can last anywhere from several months to over a year.
3. Wrinkle Relaxers
Wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox or Dysport, are commonly associated with reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the face. However, these neuromodulators can also be used to enhance the jawline by targeting the muscles responsible for creating a soft or undefined jawline. By injecting wrinkle relaxers into specific jaw muscles, our practitioners can help create a more contoured and defined jawline. This treatment works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that contribute to jawline laxity, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother and more sculpted.
Wrinkle relaxer treatments are quick, virtually painless, and require no downtime, making them a convenient option for individuals with busy lifestyles. Furthermore, in addition to relaxing the muscles around the jawline, our providers can also smooth away frown lines, crow’s feet, and other wrinkles, helping you achieve a more youthful appearance. The results become noticeable within a few days and can last three to four months.
