Battling the Jowl with Ultherapy Los Angeles

“I’m starting to notice I look a little jowly. Short of surgery, is there anything I can do?”

Yes, and your timing is excellent with the introduction of the first skin rejuvenating device to use ultrasound technology to tighten and lift areas formerly only addressed through a facelift.

The Ulthera System lifts brows and is also ideal for treating that lax skin you describe as jowly, as well as the dreaded “turkey waddle”, (otherwise known as loose skin under the chin.)

Here’s how it works: Ultrasound lets us see beneath the skin’s surface to precisely identify the tissue we need to target, then delivers a low amount of ultrasound energy to stimulate new collagen to form. Because the energy improves skin from the inside out, your skin’s surface isn’t disrupted. With one session, you will immediately see lifting, tightening and toning of your skin, with continued improvement over the following two to three months.

As with many other skin treatments, the earlier the better, so for patients with more diminished tautness I may recommend an additional treatment. But since you’re just starting to notice that you’re  losing jawline definition, if we address it now, you can postpone surgery indefinitely.
