Jowls - help!

29 replies

LavendarPink · 18/09/2026 13:13

I don't have the money to spend on professional treatments so what is the best I can do at home to improve my jowls? I'm in my 50s. Face lifting device? Face yoga? Collagen? Retinol or none of these work?

Any suggestions are welcome.

I have micro needling every few months - it really makes my skin glow but doesn’t lift the jowls

JetFlight · 25/09/2026 22:37

Does microneedling help? I thought it just made skin nicer?

What about turkey neck? Any non invasive treatments?

I realised I don't just have jowls but vertical lines on my neck too. 😭

@MyOliveViewer how much and how long does each one last? Have you got before and after photos? Thanks.

I don’t feel comfortable posting photos of my face on here. It costs around £300 every 15-18 months, I visit a dermatologist who treated me in the private sector for some skin issues. I started about 9 years ago, I’m 57 now and don’t have jowls.

I started to look a miserable and sad because of my jowls so had a bit of filler in them and a small amount in the cheeks to hold them up and now I look how I feel again .

Indo too and I was looking at fillers but apparently they can trigger an autoimmune reaction.

I've bought a microneedling pen to try

You meant you have thyroid issues too? It's a bit complicated as I want to try a microcurrent device but again with thyroid issues you have to avoid the neck area.

I'm really interested in HIFU but I have thyroid issues so not too sure if it is safe.

Anyone using at home microcurrent device?
I want to try but worrying about painful shocks you get from it.

I don’t sorry. The salon took pics and have them stored and she showed me them after my last session. You could definitely see the difference.

I used to push my skin from my chin to my ears and I had a big bulge of loose skin. I don’t now.

I definitely think it takes more than 1 session to see a difference.

I had HIFU treatment earlier in the year. I had 3 sessions so was £600 which was half price. I had big, loose jowls which I don’t now so I’m really pleased with. Thinking about getting it again on my loose turkey neck.

Am intrigued. Do you have before and after pics? Edited for privacy of course

Can you have HIFU if you have thyroid issues?

Mines the opposite, I’ve lost 12 stone and everything is loose and has dropped 🤣🤣🤣

Always something, isn’t it? My chubby cheeks are adding youthfulness, but the rest of it…

Is it weight-related? I’ve been at the pies & now my face has sort of melded into a jowl-y, double chin, neck fat-pillow scenario. I think losing a few pounds will definitely help!

@LavendarPinkapparantly 1 session, it’s currently £350 …… I will report back

l did 9 months of myofunctional therapy to strengthen my tongue, zero improvement on my TMJ pain but did wonders for my face/jowels.

What sort exercises did you do?

Tbf I don’t take much notice of what I look like in general but the difference is pretty staggering, I saw a specialist dentist.
