Jowls

What are jowls?

Jowls is a term used to describe sagging areas of skin underneath the jawline & chin, which people develop as a sign of ageing. As we grow older our skin becomes looser and loses its elasticity, which causes the skin around our face to appear to sag. Whilst jowls is extremely common certain contributing factors and levels of fat and collagen in the area can mean that it can be less pronounced or none existent in some people despite their age. It all depends on that individual. Whilst it is a natural sign of ageing, those with jowls that are pronounced can become unhappy with the appearance of them & lose self confidence.

Although sagging skin is natural it is something that is difficult to treat or fix through at home methods. Whilst you can take steps to reduce the risks of developing jowls, once your skin has lost its elasticity and firmness it can be hard to get it back without professional treatments.
