- Jowls and lower-face laxity
- Under-chin fullness and contour
- Loose or crepey neck skin
- Neck bands and facial balance
A softer jawline is not always just loose skin
The lower face and neck need to be assessed together.
Early jowls may be mainly laxity. A double chin may relate to fullness, skin, anatomy or jaw position. Turkey neck may involve skin, muscle bands or substantial excess tissue. Choosing a device before identifying the cause can lead to the wrong treatment.
- Free lower-face and neck assessment
- Ultraformer MPT HIFU for suitable lift and contour goals
- Thermage FLX or OligioX for suitable firmness concerns
- Aesthetic consultation for muscle or structural concerns
- Clear advice when non-surgical treatment is unlikely to be enough
Common lower-face and neck concerns
The visible concern gives us a starting point, but treatment is selected after the underlying cause is assessed.
Jowls and a softer jawline
Jowls usually involve a combination of skin laxity, lower-face tissue movement, facial structure and volume change. HIFU may suit selected early or moderate laxity, but not every jowl concern is caused by loose skin alone.
Double chin or under-chin fullness
Under-chin fullness may relate to tissue distribution, skin laxity, jaw position or anatomy. A treatment aimed only at tightening will not suit every type of double chin.
Loose neck skin or turkey neck
Turkey neck can range from early loss of firmness to substantial hanging skin. Non-surgical treatments are best suited to mild or moderate changes rather than significant excess skin.
Crepey neck texture
Thin, finely lined or crepey-looking skin may respond better to broader radiofrequency tightening and skin-quality support than to a lifting-focused treatment alone.
Vertical neck bands
Visible bands may involve the underlying neck muscles rather than surface skin alone. An aesthetic treatment consultation may be more relevant than HIFU or skincare by itself.
Lower-face heaviness or volume change
A heavy lower face, reduced chin support or facial volume change can affect the jawline and neck. These concerns need a broader facial assessment rather than a standard neck-tightening package.
Which treatment may be suitable?
The best option depends on whether the priority is lift, firmness, surface skin quality, muscle activity or a more substantial correction.
Ultraformer MPT HIFU
Focused ultrasound is delivered at selected depths beneath the skin. It may be considered for early jowls, jawline definition, under-chin laxity and non-surgical neck-lifting goals.
Thermage FLX or OligioX RF
Radiofrequency creates broader tissue heating and may be more suitable where the priority is general neck firmness, thin crepey skin and surface tightening.
Aesthetic treatment consultation
A consultation may be appropriate where visible neck bands, facial balance, chin support, movement or volume change are contributing to the appearance of the jawline and neck.
Skincare, facials and skin treatments
Professional skincare and selected skin treatments may support hydration, texture and fine lines. They do not remove excess skin or replace HIFU or RF when true laxity is present.
Surgical neck-lift assessment
When there is substantial hanging skin, marked jowling or pronounced muscle banding, a surgical opinion may provide a more appropriate level of correction than a non-surgical device.
| Concern | Useful first comparison | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Early jowls and reduced jawline definition | Ultraformer MPT HIFU | May provide deeper lifting and contour support where mild to moderate laxity is the main issue. |
| Loose, crepey neck skin | Thermage FLX or OligioX RF | Broader radiofrequency heating may better match general firmness and fine crepiness. |
| Under-chin laxity with a softened jawline | HIFU assessment | Suitable cases may benefit from mapped lower-face, chin and neck treatment at selected depths. |
| Under-chin fullness without much loose skin | Broader consultation | Fullness may not be caused by laxity, so a tightening-only treatment may not address the main issue. |
| Visible vertical neck bands | Aesthetic consultation | Muscle activity may be contributing more than the surface skin. |
| Significant hanging skin or advanced turkey neck | Surgical opinion | Non-surgical devices provide gradual and more limited change and cannot remove substantial excess skin. |
For selected jowls, jawline and neck-lifting goals
Ultraformer MPT uses focused ultrasound energy at selected depths beneath the skin.
The lower face, jawline, chin and neck are mapped before the practitioner selects the cartridge depths and shot coverage. This allows the treatment to be planned around your anatomy rather than applying the same pass to every face.
- Genuine Ultraformer MPT platform
- Multiple treatment depths selected where suitable
- Mapped jawline, chin, lower-face and neck coverage
- Gradual non-surgical lifting and contour support
- 50% off the first eligible HIFU treatment
For broader firmness and crepey neck skin
Radiofrequency may be more relevant when the main issue is general looseness, thin crepey skin or reduced firmness.
Rather than creating focused treatment points at selected depths, RF heats tissue more broadly through the treatment area. This makes it a useful comparison when the skin itself needs firmness and smoothing rather than a lifting-focused plan alone.
- Thermage FLX and OligioX options
- No needles or incisions
- Useful comparison for loose or crepey neck skin
- May be staged with HIFU where both concerns are present
When the jawline and neck need more than one approach
Combination treatment is used when different concerns sit in the same area. It is not automatically better and should be planned in stages.
HIFU followed by RF
May be considered when the lower face and neck show both deeper laxity and broad crepey skin. HIFU addresses the lifting and contour stage, while RF supports overall firmness.
HIFU with skin-quality treatment
A staged plan may combine lifting support with facials, peels, SQT or professional skincare where texture, dullness or superficial lines are also present.
Device treatment with aesthetic consultation
This may be relevant where skin laxity sits alongside visible muscle bands, facial movement, structural balance or volume-related concerns.
The starting point is the concern with the greatest effect on the jawline or neck. Another treatment is added only when it addresses a separate issue that the first treatment does not.
What can help at home?
Home care can support skin quality, but it cannot remove significant excess skin or reproduce a neck lift.
- Moisturiser: can improve hydration and temporarily soften dry, crepey-looking skin.
- Professional vitamin A or retinal: may support fine-line and texture care when introduced appropriately.
- Daily sunscreen: should extend from the face to the neck and décolletage.
- Exercises: may engage muscles but do not remove excess skin or reliably lift jowls.

How your lower-face and neck plan is built
A clear assessment reduces the risk of choosing a treatment that does not match the concern.
Assess the lower face and neck
We assess jowls, skin quality, under-chin fullness, jawline support, neck bands, treatment history and the degree of laxity.
Separate the concerns
Loose skin, crepey texture, tissue fullness, muscle bands and volume change are treated differently.
Choose the treatment pathway
We recommend HIFU, RF, skin treatment, aesthetic consultation, a staged combination or referral where appropriate.
Confirm the plan and cost
You receive the treatment areas, likely sessions, limitations, aftercare and pricing before deciding.
Are non-surgical treatments likely to be enough?
HIFU and RF are best suited to defined mild or moderate concerns and realistic expectations.
May be suitable if you have
- Mild to moderate jowling or lower-face laxity
- A softer jawline or early loss of definition
- Mild to moderate loose neck skin
- Crepey neck skin or reduced firmness
- Under-chin laxity where tightening may improve the contour
- Realistic expectations of a gradual non-surgical change
May need another pathway if you have
- Substantial hanging or excess neck skin
- Expectations of the same correction as facelift or neck-lift surgery
- Significant under-chin fullness where laxity is not the main concern
- Marked volume loss or facial imbalance requiring another pathway
- An active skin condition, unsuitable implant or medical contraindication
- A desire to proceed without consultation or suitability screening
Significant turkey neck needs an honest assessment. Non-surgical treatments can support gradual tightening, but they cannot remove substantial excess skin or reproduce a surgical neck lift.
Jowls, double chin and turkey neck questions
Common questions about HIFU, RF skin tightening, neck-lift alternatives, pricing and suitability.
Jowls and turkey neck can involve skin laxity, tissue movement, facial structure, under-chin fullness, muscle banding, volume change, genetics and sun-related skin changes. More than one factor may be present.
Ultraformer MPT HIFU may be considered where mild to moderate lower-face laxity and reduced jawline definition are the main concerns. RF may be more suitable when broad skin firmness and crepey texture are more prominent. Assessment is required because not every jowl concern is caused by loose skin alone.
HIFU may support gradual lifting and contour improvement in selected clients with early or moderate jowling. It will not provide the same correction as surgery and is less suitable for advanced tissue descent or substantial excess skin.
HIFU may be considered where under-chin laxity or localised contour contributes to the appearance. A double chin can also relate to tissue distribution, anatomy or jaw position, so tightening is not the correct treatment in every case.
The best treatment depends on severity. HIFU may suit selected deeper laxity, while RF may suit broad firmness and crepey texture. Significant hanging skin or marked muscle banding may require a surgical opinion for a more substantial correction.
Neither is automatically better. Ultraformer MPT HIFU uses focused ultrasound and is often considered for deeper lifting and contour support. Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency and may be better aligned with broad firmness, smoothing and crepey skin.
Yes, in selected clients. A staged plan may use HIFU for deeper lifting and contour support, followed by RF for broader skin firmness and texture. Combination treatment is only recommended when both components add value.
Thermage FLX or OligioX RF may be considered where thin, crepey or generally loose neck skin is the main concern. Professional skincare may support hydration and surface texture but cannot remove meaningful excess skin.
Moisturiser can improve hydration and temporarily soften dry crepey skin. Professionally selected active skincare may support texture and fine lines over time. Creams cannot remove excess skin or create a significant neck lift.
Exercises may engage or strengthen muscles, but they do not remove excess skin. They should not be expected to create a substantial lift where skin laxity or tissue descent is the main concern.
Ultraformer MPT delivers focused ultrasound energy at selected depths beneath the skin. The lower face, jawline, chin and neck are mapped before the treatment depths and shot coverage are selected.
HIFU devices differ in treatment modes, cartridge depths, energy delivery and supporting information. A low-cost quote using an unidentified or materially different platform is not necessarily equivalent to a mapped Ultraformer MPT treatment.
Current Ultraformer MPT prices include chin treatment for $450, neck tightening for $450, chin and neck lift for $895, full face with neck and chin for $1,690, and lower face with chin and neck for $1,750. New eligible HIFU clients receive 50% off their first treatment.
Yes. Avesa Health offers a 5% price beat on genuine like-for-like Ultraformer MPT quotes with the same treatment areas, comparable shot count, treatment depths and overall scope.
HIFU and RF results develop gradually as tissue remodelling occurs over the following weeks and months. Timing and degree of change vary according to the treatment, skin quality, age, area and individual response.
A surgical opinion may be more appropriate where there is substantial hanging skin, advanced jowling, marked neck muscle banding or an expectation of a more significant and predictable correction than non-surgical devices can provide.
