Lift The Jawline With Morpheus Facial Contouring
If you’re noticing that your jawline seems to be sinking lower as you age, you’re not imagining things. Unfortunately, with age comes the loss of collagen and elastin, which are the proteins in skin that keep it firm and youthful. Over time, areas like the lower face can begin to sag, giving the appearance of jowls. And, this isn’t exactly something that can be corrected with skincare serums. For significant laxity issues, we like Morpheus treatment. This non-invasive treatment works really well to lift and contour the lower jaw area for a more youthful appearance.
What Causes Laxity In The Jawline?
The most common reason we start to see “jowling” is simply age – it eventually happens as the body naturally produces less collagen and elastin. But, there are other factors. We also see a genetic component, so look to your parents to get a glimpse of your future. In addition, sun damage and poor skin care can accelerate the process, leading to earlier onset than you might otherwise have experienced.
How Does Morpheus Facial Contouring Work?
Morpheus is an incredibly versatile treatment which can be used to improve a variety of skin concerns like scar reduction, skin resurfacing, and of course, contouring. It works in all of these ways because at the core, it’s a type of collagen induction therapy. Using the combined power of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy, it stimulates your body’s production of collagen and elastin. Most people are familiar with the science behind microneedling. We’re essentially tricking your body into repairing the skin by creating micro-injuries with tiny needles. With the addition of RF energy, we get a gentle warming of the target area. This further encourages tissue remodeling and cell turnover. As a result, over time the skin appears rejuvenated and more elastic with better tone.
To contour the jawline, we use the handpiece around the lower face, chin, and neck. Over 3-6 treatment sessions, you’ll notice the visible results of a lifted jaw and more toned side profile.
