Lift and redefine the lower face and jawline — restoring a clean, youthful contour without surgery.
Jowls are the sagging skin and tissue that develop along the jawline and below the chin as we age. They cause the once-clean jaw definition of youth to become softer and less distinct, contributing to an aged or tired appearance. Jowling is the result of multiple ageing processes occurring simultaneously — loss of skin elasticity, descent of facial fat pads, and weakening of the retaining ligaments of the lower face. At The Shiny Touch, Paula takes a comprehensive approach, combining treatments that lift, contour, and tighten the lower face to restore a more defined, youthful jawline profile.
Jowling occurs when the skin and soft tissue of the lower face lose the structural support they need to stay in position. As we age, the retaining ligaments that tether skin to the underlying skeleton gradually weaken and elongate, allowing facial fat pads to descend. Simultaneously, collagen and elastin depletion reduces skin elasticity, making it less able to resist the downward pull of gravity. Volume loss in the midface accelerates jowling by removing the "scaffolding" that previously held cheek tissue in place. Genetics, body weight fluctuations, and sun exposure all influence the rate of jowl formation.
Paula will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and recommend the most effective treatment plan for lasting results.

Yes — significant improvement is achievable, though the result is different from surgery. Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling tightens and remodels the soft tissue of the lower face over 3–6 months. The Nefertiti lift (strategic anti-wrinkle injections along the jaw) relaxes the downward-pulling platysma muscle. Jawline filler creates structural definition. Combined, these treatments can deliver a meaningful lift and refinement without a surgical procedure.
The Nefertiti lift is a technique using anti-wrinkle injections along the jawline and upper neck to relax the platysma bands — the muscles that pull the lower face downwards. By reducing this downward tension, the upward-pulling facial muscles create a natural lift, sharpening the jaw definition and reducing the appearance of jowling.
Most clients achieve excellent results with 1–3 sessions of Morpheus8 spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results continue to develop for up to 6 months after the final session as collagen remodelling progresses. A single maintenance session once a year is typically recommended to sustain results.
Jowling can begin as early as the mid-thirties in those with a genetic predisposition, but is most commonly a concern from the forties onwards. Earlier intervention, when the tissue is still relatively elastic, tends to produce more dramatic results and can slow the rate of progression.
