Jowl Dermal Treatment
Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre offers consultations for jowl dermal treatments in Melbourne to address volume loss concerns in the jowl area. The detailed consultations may lead to the provision of a treatment that may help reduce the appearance of jowls by adding volume to the treated area. The scientifically approved products that may be used in jowl dermal treatments also help to provide structural support to the jawline and may promote collagen production.
During your consultations for jowl dermal treatments, our physician may also suggest using dermal enhancements for the pre-jowl sulcus to create a network of dermal enhancements between the jowl and chin. The pre-jowl sulcus, also known as the pre-jowl depression or the marionette line, refers to a groove or indentation on either side of your chin. This is more noticeable if your lower face has age-related volume loss. Jowl dermal treatments may help to reduce the jowls in this area.
Jowl dermal treatment outcomes last for approximately 12 to 18 months, depending on the type and dermal enhancements used. After the treatment, you may notice an increase in the volume of the treated area. Over time, as the dermal enhancements settle and integrate with the surrounding tissues, they can help reduce the appearance of jowls.

- Rare but serious complications, such as blindness, can result from Improper treatment techniques. These techniques can damage facial arteries, which may affect blood flow to the retina of the eye.
