How does jawline contouring work? And how much does it cost?

A chiselled, tapered jawline has quickly become a sought-after feature worldwide. Attaining a defined jawline naturally isn't easy — your weight, diet, and genetics all play a crucial role. That means even if your weight or nutrition is intact, your genetic makeup may prevent you from achieving your desired look. 

Luckily, fillers can help. A jaw filler is a modern, effective treatment that can help shape your jaw and contour your face. Since fillers are non-invasive, the procedure is entirely safe with little-to-no side effects.

Here, the health professionals at Glamour MD break down everything you need to know about jawline contouring. Read on to learn more.

How Does Jawline Contouring Work?

Jaw fillers, much like lip fillers , are synthetic gels. They stimulate hyaluronic acid and collagen production when injected into the desired area. In turn, these vital skin components prevent your skin from sagging, giving you a more defined and contoured look.

Fillers can safely be used anywhere on your face. So, even if you need more contouring on one side or in one specific location, it will work for you. Just as photos of lip fillers before and after treatment sessions show immediate results, the same is true for jaw fillers.

The best part about using fillers is that the procedure is non-surgical. That means you don't have to worry about anaesthesia, hospital admissions, or other surgical complications.

In fact, the process is relatively painless. When the needle first pierces your skin, you may feel some discomfort, but this quickly subsides. As a result, there's no downtime, and you can get back to your daily life immediately.

How Much Does it Cost?

Given its immediate and practical benefits, it's easy to assume that jawline fillers are expensive. That, however, is not always the case.

Two factors determine the price of your fillers: your age and the purpose of use. Older individuals experience greater bone and muscle loss and, as a result, may require multiple treatments to create a holistic, balanced look. The opposite is true for younger individuals.

In general, high-quality fillers range between $600-800 per syringe. You may require multiple syringes and may need booster injections every six months, but these are considerably cheaper.

How Many Treatments are Needed?

The number of treatments you require varies depending on your personal situation. For instance, you may need more sessions if you are older and have extensive soft tissue loss.

On the other hand, you'll only need one or two sessions if you are just looking for a touch-up to enhance your look and create a plump appearance.

Regardless of how many sessions you need, though, you will notice an immediate difference after your first visit. You don't have to wait for your results to show.

Who is Eligible?

You are eligible for jawline contouring if you want to tighten and chisel your jawline. This may be following an injury to the jaw or as your skin begins to sag as part of the aging process.

You should, however, avoid the treatment if you are suffering from an acute infection or skin swelling in the affected area.

Moreover, if you are pregnant or actively breastfeeding, consult a doctor before undergoing any treatment. It's also a good idea to let your service provider know if you are allergic to any substances. This can help prevent severe adverse reactions.
