Treatment Overview
Jawline Contouring with RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure performed in Korea to tighten sagging skin along the jawline and enhance facial contours. The treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, stimulating collagen and elastin production in the dermis to firm the skin, define the jawline, and improve elasticity.
Unlike surgical jawline lifts, this procedure provides subtle, natural contouring without incisions or significant downtime. When paired with Juvelook skin boosters, it also improves hydration, firmness, and overall skin quality in the lower face.
Purpose & Benefits
- Jawline Definition: Firms sagging skin and soft tissue along the jawline.
- Collagen Stimulation: Promotes long-term improvement in skin elasticity and firmness.
- Contour Improvement: Enhances mandibular line and reduces jowls.
- Texture Refinement: Smooths fine lines and improves skin quality.
- Minimally Invasive: Safe procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime.
- Synergy-Ready: Can be combined with Juvelook, threads, or other RF treatments for enhanced lifting and contouring.
