Face Contouring

Face contouring is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the natural structure of your face, creating more defined features and a youthful, balanced look. In dermatology, face contouring can be achieved through non-surgical techniques, offering patients the opportunity to redefine their facial features without the need for invasive surgery. With a range of advanced treatments, including injectable fillers, Botox, and radiofrequency therapies, face contouring has become increasingly popular for individuals looking to enhance their appearance with minimal downtime and risk.

Non-Surgical Face Contouring Techniques

1. Dermal Fillers for Face Contouring

How It Works: Dermal fillers such as Hyaluronic Acid (Juvederm, Restylane)
are injected into specific areas of the face to restore lost volume, add definition,
and smooth wrinkles. Popular areas for dermal fillers in face contouring include
the cheeks, jawline, and under-eye areas.
Benefits:
■ Instant results with no downtime.
■ Adds volume to areas with hollowing or sagging.

2. Botox for Jawline Contouring
How It Works: Botox injections can be used for jawline contouring by relaxing
the muscles of the masseter (jaw muscle), which can reduce the appearance of a
square jaw or excessive muscle bulk. Botox can also treat crow’s feet, frown
lines, and other wrinkles, further enhancing the facial contour.
Benefits:
■ Non-invasive and quick procedure.
■ Softens the jawline and enhances facial balance.

3. Thread Lifting for Contouring

How It Works: Thread lifts involve the insertion of temporary sutures under the
skin, which stimulate the body’s collagen production, providing a lifted and more
contoured look. Thread lifts are commonly used to define the jawline, cheeks,
and neck areas.

Benefits:
■ Minimal downtime with noticeable results.
■ Lifts and tightens sagging skin, offering a more youthful, defined appearance.

4. Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments for Skin Tightening

How It Works: Radiofrequency treatments, like FaceTite and Morpheus8, use
energy to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin. These treatments are perfect
for defining the jawline, neck, and cheeks, especially when the skin begins to
sag due to aging.

Benefits:
■ Non-invasive, minimal recovery time.
■ Stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and tightness.
