The moment you hear that your jawline no longer looks the way it used to
can come more suddenly than you might expect.
Even when your weight has clearly not changed,
you may have experienced seeing your jawline look blurred in a photo one day,
or noticing sagging skin under the jaw when you take off your mask.
In particular, office workers often experience a rapid loss of elasticity due to various lifestyle habits such as frequent late nights, lack of sleep,
and stress, and many report concerns about the lower face line losing its shape.
These changes are often not just a surface issue, but something that begins in the deeper layers of the skin,
so in reality it is difficult to improve them with cosmetics or home care alone.

✅ Why it is important to understand the cause of reduced elasticity
The biggest cause of a sagging jawline is weakening of the structure that supports the skin.
In simple terms, the kind of "support" that holds up the face shape from within the skin becomes loosened and begins to be affected by gravity.
The structure that plays an important role at this time is the SMAS layer.
The SMAS layer is a thin fascial layer located between the skin and the muscles,
and it is a tissue that plays a key role in maintaining facial elasticity and contour.
As you age or lose elasticity,
this layer sags, causing the entire skin to move downward,
and as a result, the jawline becomes blurred and the area can start to look like a double chin.
Based on this principle,
the lifting procedure that uses ultrasound energy to act directly on the deep layers of the skin is Gangnam Yeoksam Ulthera.
Ulthera works by using high-intensity focused ultrasound to deliver energy to the SMAS layer rather than the surface.
This process creates thermal coagulation points within the internal tissue without damaging the skin’s outer surface,
thereby inducing collagen regeneration.
In other words, it is a method of rebuilding elasticity from within the skin.

Gangnam Yeoksam Ulthera is suitable for those whose sagging has begun but who feel burdened by surgical methods.
It may be especially helpful for people who feel that the jawline has become blurred,
that the cheeks have drooped downward and made the face look wider,
or that a double chin has formed and the facial contour has lost definition.
It can also be applied when the skin is thin and elasticity has decreased,
and it is often preferred by those who hope for a natural lifting effect.
It can also be used when fine lines increase or when the face overall feels lax,
and it may help form a clearer jawline by improving the overall facial contour.
In particular, those who worry about their facial expressions becoming unnatural may be able to expect relatively natural changes,
given that Ulthera works mainly on the skin layer rather than the muscles.

Gangnam Yeoksam Ulthera may produce some lifting effect immediately after the procedure,
but the full changes appear gradually as the collagen regeneration process progresses.
In general, elasticity improves over about 2 to 3 months,
and the effect is then maintained for a certain period.
Although this varies depending on the individual’s skin condition and rate of aging,
it is common to consider the procedure on a cycle of about 6 months to 1 year.
This makes it important to check the condition of the skin first
and proceed at the appropriate time.

After the procedure, because the collagen production process is taking place within the skin,
it is necessary not to stimulate the area from the outside.
For example, for a certain period after the procedure,
it is better to avoid excessive massage or actions that apply strong pressure,
and saunas or high-temperature environments can also cause irritation, so caution is needed.
In addition, to help the regeneration process proceed smoothly,
it is helpful to maintain sufficient moisturizing and sun protection.
If you are concerned about a sagging jawline,
considering a lifting method that reaches the deep layers of the skin may also be one option.
At 투명피부과, after carefully analyzing each person’s skin condition and level of elasticity,
treatment is carried out with a customized lifting plan aimed at improving the facial contour naturally.
If a blurred jawline has also lowered your confidence,
we hope you can receive help in restoring elasticity and regaining a clearer impression.
