What are "underjaw"?
"underjaw" refer to the loose, sagging skin that forms along the jawline, affecting the appearance of your cheeks.
They generally make the face look older and less defined, as they diminish the sharpness of the jawline.
Causes of underjaw
As we age, the skin loses elasticity, leading to the formation of underjaw. This is usually a natural part of the ageing process and is difficult to avoid.
That said, there are other factors that can contribute to the formation of jowls and may exacerbate their appearance.
Sun damage can reduce skin elasticity, and genetic factors also play a role. Neglecting skincare routines and persistent fluctuations in weight can also impact the appearance of your jowls.
Can you treat underjaw without surgery?
The good news is, yes! You can treat underjaw without undergoing surgery, and we have compiled the best non-surgical treatments for underjaw in this blog post.
Non-surgical treatments for jowls
Yes, you can treat jowls without enduring the pain of surgery. We have gathered the best methods below.
Treating jowls with microcurrent therapy
One of the most effective and simplest ways to treat jowls is by using microcurrent devices, such as the MGT EMS Gua Sha Device.
Microcurrent devices utilise microcurrents to stimulate muscle contractions and relaxations, tightening the skin over time.
The MGT EMS Gua Sha uses patented technology to combine microcurrents and nanocurrents, providing both immediate and long-lasting results.
MGT's nanocurrent element mimics the electrical impulses that slow down with age, promoting cell growth and repair, as well as collagen production.
EMS Gua Sha can also improve lymphatic drainage, reducing facial puffiness and enhancing definition.
In just 3 minutes, the treatment uses medium to strong vibrations to strengthen and lift the lower face.
Regular use of this treatment will tighten the skin around your chin, jawline, and mouth, reducing the appearance of jowls.
Alternative non-surgical therapies for jowls
1. facial exercises
Engaging in regular facial exercises can help reduce the appearance of jowls.
Opening your mouth wide, as if yawning, then slowly closing it (without clenching your teeth) is a good way to exercise the mouth muscles and prevent jowl formation.
Another exercise involves puffing out your cheeks fully and comfortably, then slowly relaxing them.
Ensuring this becomes a part of your daily routine is key to exercising facial muscles and reducing jowl appearance.
2. Gua sha massage
Incorporating gua sha massage into your daily routine is also essential for reducing jowl lines.
Gently massaging the face with a gua sha tool aids in lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling and puffiness, helping to maintain a defined jawline.
Integrating these practices into your skincare routine is the best approach to addressing jowl lines. Try and test these methods to find the solution that works best for you.
