In her late 40s, a woman notices jowling and seeks non-surgical solutions for a sagging jawline. Dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban explains that collagen and elastin loss, bone density reduction, and skin loosening contribute to jowling. Non-surgical treatments include prescription retinoids, red-light therapy, dermal fillers, and non-invasive ultrasound devices like Sofwave, which stimulates collagen production without surgery. These options, though costly, can improve jawline definition and delay surgical procedures. Consulting a skilled dermatologist is recommended for personalized treatment plans.
