The appointment takes around 45 minutes, with the actual procedure taking only around 15 minutes.
The results from the filler are instant, and generally last around 9-12months. Each time you have this done, the results will last longer as long as the initial scaffold of filler is still in place.

It can be a bit uncomfortable however we numb the skin prior to the treatment with numbing cream.
We also do not use needles in this delicate area, to reduce swelling/pain and also to be safe and minimize complications. Instead we use a micro-cannula to deposit the filler. This is blunt ended and uses only a single entry point on both sides, thereby reducing trauma and minimizing risk.
The result can be seen instantly, but tends to improve over the next 3-4 weeks post treatment.

Downtime with filler in this area is generally very minimal and makeup can be applied the next day.
Tenderness and mild swelling is expected for a few days as well as potential for mild bruising in some cases. We provide pre and after care instructions to go through ways we can further minimise this.

People often expect jawline filler to be a quick fix for a double chin appearance. In actual fact, these can be the most difficult to treat and often are a combined result of excess fat, skin laxity, genetics, and the natural position of your mandible (lower jaw).
This is why a thorough consultation as well as realistic expectations are needed for this area.
Jawline/ Prejowl Filler
The jawline is often an area which is tricky to treat as it can be influenced by skin laxity, stubborn fat under the chin and the natural positioning of our mandible (lower jaw). Dermal filler can be placed in the right cases:
Along the jawline to give improved contour and definition.
In the prejowl area of the jawline only to disguise the appearance of early jowls.
Alongside chin filler when chin lengthening is carried out to blend the area seamlessly.
This treatment is often combined with midface filler to give a seamless transition between our lower eyelid and cheek.
