Skin & Body Aesthetic Concerns
Jowls Treatment: Causes & Non-Surgical Options
Jowls are areas of sagging, soft or loose skin around the lower cheeks and jawline that can become more noticeable as we get older. They can gradually soften the definition of the lower face and jawline. You may have noticed that your jawline looks softer or less defined as it once did. If these changes are bothering you, you may be wondering what causes jowls and whether non-surgical treatment could be suitable for you.
At Manor Health, we take a personalised approach to jowls treatment, with non-surgical options selected according to your facial structure, degree of skin laxity and individual goals. We’re here to help you understand what jowls are, why they develop and which non-surgical treatment options may be best for you.
Jowls are areas of softer, sagging tissue that develop around the lower cheeks, sides of the chin and jawline. As they become more noticeable, they can make the lower face look less defined.
They aren’t simply caused by excess fat. Changes in skin elasticity, facial volume and the underlying support of the face can all influence how jowls develop over time. These changes are a natural part of facial ageing and can vary considerably from person to person.
Jowls are influenced by natural facial ageing and genetics, so they cannot be completely prevented. Changes in skin elasticity, facial volume and underlying support can still occur over time.
Looking after your skin can help support its overall health. This can include protecting it from excessive sun exposure and avoiding smoking. However, these lifestyle measures cannot guarantee that jowls will not develop or reverse jowls that are already present.
Choosing the right jowls treatment starts with understanding what is contributing to the changes in your lower face. Two people may have similar concerns about their jawline, but the underlying cause and most suitable treatment can be different.
During your consultation at Manor Health, we can assess factors such as the degree of skin laxity, facial volume and support, jawline definition, your facial anatomy and the result you would like to achieve. This helps us recommend an approach that is suited to you rather than selecting a treatment based on appearance alone.
Depending on your needs, one treatment may be appropriate or a tailored combination may be considered. Our aim is always to recommend the right level of treatment for your individual concerns.
What Causes Jowls?
There is no one underlying reason jowls develop. It is usually a combination of natural, lifestyle and environmental factors.
Collagen and elastin help give your skin its firmness, strength and elasticity. As levels naturally change with age, the skin can become less firm and resilient, contributing to skin laxity around the cheeks, jawline and lower face.
The structure of your face also changes over time. Shifts in facial volume and the support beneath the skin can affect how soft tissue sits around the lower face, making the jawline appear softer or less defined.
How and when jowls become noticeable varies from person to person. Natural facial ageing plays a part, while inherited features such as your facial structure and skin characteristics can also influence their appearance.
Significant changes in weight can sometimes affect the volume and appearance of the lower face, although weight loss doesn’t automatically cause jowls. Lifestyle and environmental factors, such as sun damage, that influence overall skin quality can also affect how firm and elastic the skin appears over time.
How To Get Rid Of Jowls Without Surgery
Our Sagging Lower Face Treatment Options
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a treatment involving several small collagen-stimulating injections that are used to gradually restore facial volume and improve skin quality. It may be suitable where a loss of volume and support is contributing to jowling or reduced definition around the lower face.
Profhilo® Structura
Profhilo® Structura is designed to support deeper facial tissue while addressing skin laxity and age-related volume loss. It may be considered where early jowling or a softer jawline is linked to reduced support within the lower face.
PDO Cogs
PDO Cogs use lifting threads to reposition and support sagging tissue in suitable patients. They may help improve the appearance of jowls and create greater definition through the lower face and jawline where tissue laxity is a contributing factor.

Jowls Treatment FAQs
Non-surgical treatments may improve the appearance of jowls in suitable cases, although they cannot completely or permanently remove them. The right approach depends on factors such as skin laxity, facial volume and the level of support around your jawline and lower face.
You cannot completely prevent jowls because natural facial ageing and genetics both influence how they develop. Protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure and avoiding smoking can support overall skin health, but these measures can’t guarantee that jowls will not develop.
Significant changes in weight can affect facial volume and may influence how the lower face looks, but losing weight does not automatically cause jowls. Ageing, genetics, skin elasticity and changes in facial structure can also contribute to their appearance.
There is no single best jowls treatment for everyone. Depending on what is contributing to the sagging and your facial anatomy, Manor Health may recommend Sculptra®, Profhilo® Structura, PDO Cogs or where appropriate, a tailored combination following consultation.
Your jowls consultation gives you time to discuss what is bothering you and the results you would like to achieve. Manor Health can assess factors like jawline definition, facial structure, skin laxity and facial volume before discussing which treatment options may be suitable for you.
