How to Get Rid of Jowls without Surgery
A survey conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) in 2015 revealed that 67% of people suffer from jowl formation under the chin. This under-chin fullness, called the jowl, can be seen in both men and women, regardless of gender.
In addition to weight gain, jowl formation can also be seen due to genetics and aging. It is caused by fat accumulation and sagging in the under-chin part of the problem. So, how to get rid of jowl without surgery? What are the treatment methods for jowl sagging? Here is the answer…
Even if you are not overweight, jowls can occur
Jowls, also known as submental fat under the chin, consists of fat accumulation and sagging under the chin. It can cause discomfort as it can make people look older and overweight than they really are. Those who eat healthily and exercise regularly may also experience jowls or not dissolve if they have in the past. In such a case, it is useful to consult a specialist physician because the situation may not improve no matter how much you diet.
Different treatment methods to eliminate jowls
There are many treatment options to destroy fat cells in the jowl area. Injectable lipolysis treatments, surgical operation and some lipolysis devices are some of them. Although energy devices such as laser, radiofrequency and ultrasound offer non-invasive options for shaping under the chin, these techniques mostly benefit the tightening of the skin, not the reduction of fat in the under-chin area.
Method that destroys sub-chin fat cells
One of the non-surgical treatments for jowl reduction is Celluform Plus. It is an injectable treatment method that destroys fat cells in the jowl area. The active ingredient in its content is synthetic deoxycholic acid.
Deoxycholic acid is a molecule that occurs naturally in the body and helps to break down and absorb dietary fats. When Celluform Plus is injected into the jowl oil, it destroys the fat cells and helps to provide a visible decrease in the fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Therefore, it does not require further treatment when the desired goal is achieved.
How long does the treatment take?
Celluform Plus treatment can be applied by a specialist doctor. In each treatment, multiple small injections are made into the jowl and the injection process takes about 15-20 minutes. The exact number of injections varies according to the amount of fat in the food and upon request.
The injected ingredient contains ArnicaMotana, one of the plants with the strongest anti-inflammatory effect. This situation plays a soothing effect in reducing the effects such as pain, swelling and bruising after the application. Each treatment session is at least 1 month apart and more than 6 treatments cannot be applied.
Will there be sagging and loosening in the jowl after the treatment?
We cannot say that there will be sagging or loosening at the end of lipolysis applications. This may vary according to the age of the person, the size of the jowl and the quality of the skin. It is necessary to apply skin-tightening treatments for people who experience relaxation due to the reduction of jowl oil.
Non-surgical treatments; injections for tightening, energy devices such as laser, radiofrequency and ultrasound, and rope treatments. Threadless Idebae, which stands out from these injections, helps to tighten and tighten the skin by increasing the stimulation in the muscles with DMAE, one of the active ingredients in its content. Idebenon, on the other hand, reduces the amount of free radicals in the tissues and aims to have a wrinkle-relieving effect.
