Sagging Skin & Jowls
Sagging skin and jowls are common signs of ageing that affect the facial appearance, often causing a loss of firmness and definition. Sagging skin refers to the gradual loosening and drooping of the skin which can become noticeable around the mid-lower face. When referring specifically to jowls, this term particularly focuses on the sagging skin and fatty tissue along the jawline. Both sagging skin and jowls can affect men and women, often over the age of 40, giving the appearance an overall aged or tired look.
Common causes of sagging skin and jowls
Changes to skin laxity commonly occur due to a combination of factors including decreased collagen and elastin production, loss of skin elasticity, and the effects of gravity over time. As we age, the skin’s natural support structure weakens, leading to a reduction in firmness and resilience. This weakness in the skin may then be pulled downward by the forces of gravity, leading to a saggy effect. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and poor skincare habits can accelerate the development of sagging skin and jowls by speeding up the breakdown of essential proteins in the skin (collagen and elastin).
Genetics also play a significant role in the development of sagging skin and jowls, as some individuals may be predisposed to experiencing these changes earlier or more prominently than others.
Treatment options for sagging skin and jowls
While ageing is inevitable, there are various cosmetic treatments and skincare solutions available at Refresh Medispa to help address sagging skin and jowls. These non-invasive procedures can include laser skin rejuvenation, Morpheus8, FaceTite, AccuTite to help lift and tighten sagging skin. Patients may also benefit from injectable treatments including polynucleotides, microneedling or Plasma Pen which help to rebuild the skin’s internal structure, increase the production of collagen and elastin, and subtly restore a more youthful appearance to the lower face. In addition, volume replacement with dermal fillers can be beneficial, especially when used in conjunction with the treatments mentioned above.

The initial consultation was very informative and confirmed my understanding of acne which I have had since the start of puberty. Having lived with it for years now, I finally decided to deal with it. I have been having a hydrafacial with LED and can already see the difference.
I have been to a number of clinics previously to improve my skin and have always been disappointed. At Refresh Medispa, things could not be more different. I felt this was a proper medical skin clinic. Initially I received an in depth skin analysis and then my aesthetician recommended a full skin regime with regular reviews. I have been following this religiously and am astounded as to how good my skin looks.
Fantastic results in a beautiful setting. The team know what they are talking about and are confidently happy to recommend what does and doesn’t work. Thank you Refresh Medispa.
Refresh Medispa were brilliant. As someone who is needle phobic, I was very apprehensive about having my wrinkles treated. My nurse exuded professionalism and her manner put me completely at ease. I love my results and she was really knowledgeable about skincare too.
I have always been cautious about having cosmetic surgery but my flappy skin on my arms was getting me down. When I saw Mr Fazel, I really felt he spent time explaining all my options to me. Eventually I decided to have Bodytite to my arms. I am so pleased with the results; my arms are tighter with a better profile … and I don’t have the long scar from an arm lift.
I have been having fillers with Mr Fazel for many years. He is always calm, honest and attentive. If you’re looking for a subtle elegant look, he’s the best.
I recently completed my course of Emsculpt Neo for my abdominal muscles and was very impressed with the expertise and care from everyone I saw at Refresh Medispa, from Mr Fazel initially, his therapists and his secretary. The treatment was comfortable and I can already see that my muscle tone has improved. The Medispa is also a lovely place to have treatments; it feels more like a spa than a clinic.
Mr Fazel is a genius. I am 6 weeks post a Facetite procedure and already I can see my jowls tighten and disappear. I have had facelift consultations with other surgeons over the years but left feeling like I couldn't proceed. Mr Fazel was completely different. He is great listener and as a result my expectations from the Facetite have been totally exceeded. He took time to find out about me and my requirements and explained all my options carefully to me.
The staff here are very knowledgeable and not pushy. I had a lovely experience with a hydrafacial and skin boosters at Refresh Medispa so much so that I’ve booked a package every month.
I was recommended to undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to help with my healing. Not only did my wounds heal much faster than I anticipated, I also felt much less tired and much more clear headed. I feel it has really revitalized me.
I have dark skin and have always previously worried about laser hair removal but I had an amazing experience at Refresh Medispa. This place really feels and smells like a spa! The staff are so lovely and the whole experience from the complementary herbals teas to the painless laser hair removal was a breeze. I will definitely be back.
I love my lips … just right .. not too little and not too much. Just perfect
Mid Forties, overweight, much needed liposuction. Having been active in my early years, time has caught up with my body and I cannot sustain my shape. Try as I might, the belly would not go. I tried all conventional methods and then came across this procedure. I honestly have not looked back since.
The results are great and my expectations have been exceeded.
Honest and skilled surgeon.
I’m in my 20s and lead an active lifestyle but have always struggled to get rid of my pouch. Mr Fazel was recommended by a friend. He spent lots of time explaining the pros and cons of liposuction and was very honest. I am so pleased with the results.
He is a great surgeon.
Liposuction with fat transfer to my breasts.
Mr Fazel is a genius. I got rid of my excess flank fat and now have larger breasts! Mr Fazel’s approach is kind, quietly confident, caring and very skillful.
Symmetrical breasts using my own fat I had always been unhappy about my asymmetrical breasts. I couldn’t have anything done
through the NHS. I didn’t want implants so I was very happy when Mr Fazel said he could do lipomodelling for me to my breasts. I had to have 3 rounds of fat grafting (I had pretty bad asymmetry) but now 18 months later I can honestly say that my breasts feel just right for
me. Mr Fazel is just great!
Thank you to a wonderful surgeon.
I always disliked my scar from my C-section. I have just finished my course of treatments (Skinpen microneedling) at Refresh Medispa and am very pleased with the results and the care I received. An exceptional team and a lovely facility.
The process leading up to my Morpheus8 treatment was brilliant. I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable and I didn’t feel at all like I was asking too many silly questions. I had the procedure 3 times as recommended for my face and neck and I am extremely happy with the results. Best decision! The after care has also been great with the team checking in on me regularly.
I always feel safe with Mr Fazel. He used his ultrasound scanner to check for blood vessels and does a beautiful job with my nose.
