Lift and redefine your jawline with expert care for jowls and sagging skin at Hampstead Aesthetics in West Hampstead. Discover causes, solutions, and results.
Understanding Jowls & Sagging Skin
If you’re noticing skin laxity around your jawline or lower cheeks, you’re not alone. Jowls and sagging skin are a common concern as we age, leading to a less defined facial profile. At Hampstead Aesthetics in West Hampstead, we offer cutting-edge, non-surgical treatments to restore firmness and lift, helping you look as youthful as you feel.
What Are Jowls and Sagging Skin?
Jowls and sagging skin refer to the drooping or loose skin that develops around the jawline, chin, and lower face due to the loss of collagen, elastin, and facial volume. These changes affect facial contour and are among the most visible signs of ageing.
Common Causes of Jowls and Sagging Skin
- Natural ageing and collagen loss
- Genetic predisposition to early skin laxity
- UV damage from unprotected sun exposure
- Weight loss that reduces facial volume
- Smoking, dehydration, and poor nutrition
Signs and Symptoms of Jowls and Sagging Skin
- Drooping skin near the jawline and chin
- Loose or crepey skin in the lower face
- Loss of definition along the jaw
- Increased folds around the mouth
- Tired or heavy appearance despite feeling well
Preventive Tips for Jowls and Sagging Skin
While we can’t stop the ageing process, you can slow its effects on jowls and sagging skin with:
- Daily SPF to prevent collagen breakdown
- Hydrating and nutrient-rich skincare with peptides and retinol
- Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol
- Staying hydrated and maintaining a consistent weight
- Regular non-invasive facial treatments that stimulate collagen

Best Treatments for Jowls and Sagging Skin At Hampstead Aesthetics
At Hampstead Aesthetics, our expert team uses medically backed, non-surgical treatments to target jowls and sagging skin effectively. Every plan is bespoke, crafted by Dr Chike based on your skin’s needs and facial structure.
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
RF skin tightening gently heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. This treatment firms loose skin and gradually lifts the jawline with no downtime.
HIFU
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound targets the SMAS layer below the skin surface, lifting and toning the lower face. HIFU is ideal for mild to moderate jowls and sagging skin and delivers results over time.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers strategically restore volume in areas of the face where support has been lost. This volumizing effect indirectly lifts jowls and sagging skin, giving a firmer appearance to the lower face.
Microneedling with PRP or RF
Microneedling paired with PRP or radiofrequency enhances collagen and elastin regeneration, improving the skin’s firmness and texture over multiple sessions.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides offer a regenerative solution by boosting the skin’s natural repair process. These treatments improve hydration, elasticity, and skin tone, making them ideal for treating early-stage jowls and sagging skin.
Combination Therapy
For optimal results, we often combine modalities such as HIFU, dermal fillers, and RF skin tightening. A tailored plan ensures long-lasting, natural improvement with minimal discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jowls and Sagging Skin
What is the best treatment for jowls and sagging skin?
This depends on your skin type, degree of sagging, and personal goals. We typically recommend RF or HIFU for skin tightening and dermal fillers for volume loss.
How soon will I see results from these treatments?
Some treatments like dermal fillers offer immediate improvement, while collagen-stimulating options like RF or HIFU take several weeks to show results.
Are the treatments for jowls and sagging skin safe?
Yes, our treatments are non-surgical and FDA-approved. They are administered by trained medical professionals in a clinical environment.
Can younger patients benefit from these treatments?
Yes. Starting preventive treatments in your 30s or 40s can delay the onset of sagging and support better skin structure as you age.
What does treatment cost at Hampstead Aesthetics?
Pricing varies based on the treatment combination. We provide full cost details after an in-depth consultation at our West Hampstead clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fine Lines & Wrinkles
What are the first signs of fine lines & wrinkles I should look out for?
You might start noticing faint lines around your eyes (crow’s feet), across your forehead, or near your mouth when you smile or frown. These are often the earliest signs and usually appear when the skin begins to lose elasticity.
Can I really prevent fine lines & wrinkles, or just slow them down?
While ageing is inevitable, you can absolutely slow down the development of fine lines with the right habits like sun protection, a solid skincare routine, and a balanced lifestyle. Prevention is just as important as treatment.
How do I know which treatment is right for my skin type and age?
Everyone’s skin ages differently. At Hampstead Aesthetics, we assess your skin’s condition, lifestyle, and goals during your consultation to recommend the most effective, personalised options.
Will wrinkle treatments make my face look ‘frozen’ or unnatural?
Not at all. When done correctly, treatments like anti-wrinkle injections or fillers simply soften lines and refresh your features. Our approach is all about subtle, natural-looking enhancement.
Are non-injectable options effective for fine lines & wrinkles?
Yes. Treatments like RF microneedling, chemical peels, and advanced skincare can significantly improve texture and firmness, especially for early or superficial lines.
Is there a right age to start treating fine lines & wrinkles?
There’s no perfect age; it depends on your skin and goals. Some clients start in their late 20s to prevent early signs, while others begin treatment later to restore smoothness and firmness.
