Natural ageing Unfortunately, natural ageing is one of the main reasons for our sagging jaw line.

If this is something you are starting to have concerns about, perhaps it’s time you started to look at the causes and what you can do to help your sagging jawline.

Natural ageing

Unfortunately, natural ageing is one of the main reasons for our sagging jaw line. As we age collagen and elastin fibres, which provide our skin with its strength and elasticity, begin to break down and fragment. This causes our skin to lose its plumpness, skin starts to loosen and then to sag. Doing facial exercises can help to strengthen and tighten the underlying muscles supporting the skin

Weight loss

Loss of facial fat as a result of weight loss can cause skin to sag. This becomes more of an issue the older you are, as your skin’s ability to spring back into shape takes a steady decline.

Smoking

I’m sure you don’t need us to tell you smoking is bad for your skin. Smoker’s will see wrinkles and a decline in skin condition much more quickly than someone who doesn’t smoke. Kicking this habit as soon as possible will give your skin, and the rest of your health, a huge boost.

Over exposure to UV

UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin’s dermis and play a major part in skin ageing. UVB rays don’t penetrate the skin as deeply but are responsible for the reddening and burning we experience with overexposure. Both damage the cells that keep our skin plump and youthful. Damage to our skin results in premature ageing, wrinkles, and for some, a sagging jawline.

There is hope for your sagging jawline!

There is good news, SkinBase’s radio frequency (RF) treatment can remedy a sagging jawline with amazing results seen after a course of facials. RF provokes a deep heating of the tissues which has the immediate effect of tissue contraction which tightens and lifts the skin. It’s become a popular alternative to injectables as where they paralyse the muscle (which weakens it), RF causes elastin fibres to tighten and realign, strengthening skin. Read more here.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
