Tightening loose skin on the jawline, chin and neck without surgery
One of the most frequent concerns I hear from patients — especially women over 40 — is the subtle, gradual softening along the jawline, and that feeling of the skin “slipping” under the chin. The truth is, you don’t suddenly wake up one day with loose skin. It happens slowly: a loss of collagen, the weakening of structural support, a change in fat distribution, and the downward pull of gravity.
Fortunately, we now have effective, non-surgical ways to address these early and moderate signs of skin laxity — without needing to resort to a facelift. At rtwskin, we offer a combination of advanced technologies tailored specifically to lift, firm and restore the skin in these delicate areas.
Understanding Why Skin Loses Definition
The lower third of the face — the jawline, chin, and neck — is particularly vulnerable to collagen breakdown. It’s where gravity pulls most, and where the skin tends to become thinner with age. That’s why we focus on treatments that stimulate deep collagen production and remodel the dermal structure from within.
My Go-To Treatments for Jawline and Neck Lifting at rtwskin
- HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HIFU is one of my favourite tools for patients seeking a subtle lift without downtime. It targets the deeper SMAS layer (the same layer surgeons lift in a facelift) and stimulates new collagen over time. Perfect for soft jowls and early sagging under the chin.
- Non-invasive, precise and highly targeted
- Stimulates deep tissue tightening
- One session offers improvement that continues over 3–6 months
- RF Microneedling
When skin texture, pores, and elasticity are also a concern, I often recommend RF Microneedling. This treatment uses ultra-fine needles to deliver radiofrequency energy into the dermis, triggering a powerful collagen response.
- Improves firmness and skin quality
- Helps redefine contours in the jaw and neck area
- Excellent for crepey skin and mild to moderate laxity
- CO2 Laser (DEKA SmartXide²)
For patients also concerned about texture, fine lines or sun damage, the fractional CO2 laser provides resurfacing along with tightening.
- Smooths surface irregularities
- Encourages collagen renewal through controlled thermal injury
- Particularly helpful for ageing neck skin
- Silhouette Soft Thread Lift
For more visible sagging—especially when someone is not quite ready for surgery — Silhouette Soft offers a gentle but effective lift using dissolvable threads that reposition the skin.
- Immediate lifting effect with continued collagen stimulation
- No incisions, no scarring
- Natural-looking result with minimal downtime
How I Create a Personalised Plan
No two faces age the same way. That’s why I always assess the skin structure, fat volume, and muscle tone before recommending a treatment. Often, the most beautiful results come from combining two or more approaches — such as HIFU for deeper lifting, followed by RF Microneedling for skin refinement.
Loose skin around the jaw and neck doesn’t mean you’ve run out of options. With the right technology and medical expertise, we can slow the signs of ageing, restore structure, and give you back a firmer, more youthful profile—without going under the knife.
If you’ve been considering non-surgical skin tightening, book a consultation at rtwskin. I’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that respects your natural features while addressing the concerns you see in the mirror.
