Face Slimming / Tightening

A V-shaped face and defined jawline are often associated with a youthful, lifted appearance. But with age, collagen loss, water retention or enlarged jaw muscles can cause the face to appear rounder, heavier or saggy over time.

What Is Face Slimming and Tightening?

Face slimming targets the lower face, particularly the jawline, cheeks and chin. It may involve reducing muscle bulk, stimulating collagen or lifting sagging skin. Tightening treatments focus on firming and strengthening the skin’s structure for a more sculpted, youthful look.

The right treatment will depend on the underlying cause, whether it is muscle-related, skin laxity or fat retention.

Common Concerns Addressed

You may benefit from face slimming or tightening if you notice:

  • A round or square-looking jaw
  • Puffiness or facial bloating
  • Mild sagging in the cheeks or jowl area
  • Loss of definition in the chin or jawline
  • Skin that feels lax or lacks firmness
  • Early signs of ageing in the lower face

What Causes Facial Fullness or Sagging?

Several factors may contribute:

  • Post-weight loss volume changes
  • Genetics: Some naturally have a smaller jaw or chin, which can offer less support to the surrounding skin and contribute to earlier sagging
  • Overactive masseter muscles: Common in those who grind their teeth or clench often
  • Ageing: Collagen and elastin decline over time, leading to sagging
  • Water retention or lifestyle habits
  • Sun exposure and loss of skin elasticity

Available Treatments

Ultracel Q+ HIFU

Ultracel Q+ is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment designed to lift, tighten, and contour the face without surgery. By delivering ultrasound energy deep into the skin’s SMAS layer—the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts—it stimulates collagen production and causes tissue contraction, resulting in a firmer, more sculpted appearance.This treatment is especially popular for V-shaping the jawline, reducing double chin, and improving skin laxity on the cheeks, jowls, and neck.
