Jowls: Causes, Symptoms, & Treatment
What are Jowls?
Elastin and collagen are used by the skin to maintain its elasticity, firmness, and smooth appearance. But, as we age the levels of elastin and collagen in our skin will naturally drop – there are also a variety of other factors which can contribute to lower elastin and collagen levels in our skin. Lower levels of these important skin components can cause the skin to appear looser and lose its firmness. When this happens around the jaw and jawline area the skin may start to sag, this is referred to as Jowls.
Though this is often a natural part of ageing, it can cause self-confidence issues. There is something you can do! It is possible to reduce the risk of getting Jowls through healthy living and reverse the effects of Jowls through expert treatment – this is where we can help.

Jowls Causes & Risk Factors
Why Do Jowls Develop?
Jowls describes the sagging of skin below the jawline, and it’s something almost everyone will experience as they age. As we get older our skin becomes thinner and the levels of elastin and collagen begin to reduce. These elements are vital for maintaining the firmness of the skin. Genetics can play a big role in the development of Jowls – some people may naturally produce more elastin and collagen, and others may produce very little!
What Can Make Jowls Worse?
Though genetics is the most influential factor that affects the development of Jowls other things may affect the severity of Jowls. Unhealthy life choices such as smoking and a bad diet can accelerate skin ageing, as well as excessive sun exposure and stress.
Where Do Jowls Develop?
Jowls is the term used to describe loose skin around the jawline area. It often causes the skin to sag below the jawline and appears loose.
Jowls forms on the jawline, but it can present itself in two different forms both of these symptoms can cause self-confidence problems.
Jowls cause the skin around the face to appear as though it is sagging, this can cause the jawline to look like it has dropped. The looser skin on the face also means the facial features loose definition.
Though Jowls mainly affects the face and jawline, the loss of elasticity can cause the skin underneath the chin to sag and look looser. This is similar in appearance to a double chin, due to the extra skin present under the chin area.
