Sagging jowls are one of the most common signs of facial aging—and one of the most frustrating. But if you’re not ready for a facelift, there’s great news: RF microneedling offers a powerful, non-surgical solution to lift and tighten sagging skin along the jawline. At London BBL Surgery and Body Contouring, Dr. Daniel Del Vecchio and his expert team provide cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatments, including RF microneedling, to help restore youthful contours with minimal downtime.
What Causes Jowls and Sagging Skin?
Over time, the natural aging process leads to a breakdown of collagen and elastin—the two proteins responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. As these proteins decline, the skin loses structure and begins to sag, especially around the lower face and jawline. Other contributors include:
- Sun exposure
- Weight fluctuations
- Genetics
- Loss of facial volume
This results in drooping skin under the chin and along the jaw—commonly referred to as “jowls.” Many patients in London and across the UK seek non-invasive options to improve this area without committing to surgery.
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling (radiofrequency microneedling) combines two proven skin treatments: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. The procedure uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. Simultaneously, RF energy is delivered into the deeper dermal layers to stimulate collagen production and tighten tissue from within.
Unlike traditional microneedling, RF microneedling penetrates deeper and generates heat, resulting in superior skin tightening and contouring effects.
Benefits of RF Microneedling for Jowls
RF microneedling is quickly becoming one of the most popular non-surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation—and for good reason. It delivers:
- Noticeable lifting and tightening of jowls and jawline
- Improved skin texture and elasticity
- Minimal downtime (redness and swelling typically resolve in 1–2 days)
- Long-lasting results that build over several weeks
- Suitable for all skin types and tones
Clinical studies show that RF microneedling can increase collagen and elastin levels by up to 400% over three months, making it one of the most effective skin-tightening solutions available without surgery.
