Understanding What to Expect with the Best Jawline Filler
When you want to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, jawline filler injections can help you get a gorgeous, more youthful look. Dermal fillers add definition, volume, and shape to thin or sagging skin. Best of all, jawline fillers provide a nonsurgical option with immediately noticeable results.
1. Jawline Filler Explained
For jawline fillers, the team at Clarity Dermatology injects safe fillers underneath the skin of the jawline—hyaluronic acid fillers and other types of fillers plump up the skin, giving it a smoother appearance. Jawline fillers are done as an outpatient procedure at your dermatologist’s office.
2. Other Terms for Jawline Filler
The most commonly used term is “jawline filler,” but you might also encounter these referred to as:
- Soft tissue fillers
- Facial fillers
- Injectable fillers
3. Types of Jawline Filler
There are lots of filling agents available on the market, but at Clarity Dermatology, we use fillers that have been approved by the FDA. These fillers are primarily made from three ingredients:
- Poly-L-lactic acid: A biodegradable synthetic polymer, PLLA, stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike more traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, PLLA gradually enhances the jawline’s contour and definition.
- Calcium hydroxyapatite: This mineral is naturally found in bones. When used as a jawline filler, CaHA is mixed to a gel-like consistency, and collagen forms around it, adding fullness to the jawline and smoothing fine lines.
- Hyaluronic acid: This substance also occurs naturally in the human body and keeps the skin full and hydrated. As we age, we make less of this substance, resulting in saggy, thinner-looking skin.
4. Jawline Filler Uses
Dermal jawline fillers can be used in several ways to make your jawline more visually appealing. You can use a jawline filler to do any of these things:
- Add volume
- Reduce wrinkles and sagging skin
- Smooth fine lines and creases in the area of the jaw
- Give a sharper angle to your jawline
- Create a more symmetrical jawline
5. Longevity of Results
How long can you expect jawline fillers to last? It depends on the type of filler your dermatologist uses. Your body will break down and absorb the fillers over time.
- Poly-L-lactic acid: Up to 24 months
- Calcium hydroxyapatite filler: Up to 12 months
- Hyaluronic acid filler: Between six and 12 months, but sometimes as long as two years
6. The Benefits of Jawline Fillers
While many cosmetic procedures are invasive, jawline fillers are not. They provide immediate results with minimal health risks, are fast, require little recovery time, and are much less expensive than surgery.
