If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished for a more defined jawline, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with sagging skin, jowls, or a stubborn double chin that just won’t budge—no matter how healthy their lifestyle. At Derm & Rejuvenation Institute of Santa Monica, Dr. Kormeili offers a cutting-edge solution: Ultherapy. But how effective is Ultherapy for tightening the jawline and reducing jowls and double chin? Let’s explore what makes this treatment a favorite among patients seeking natural, non-surgical results.

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. Unlike other procedures that only target the surface, Ultherapy penetrates deep into the skin’s foundational layers, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. This process helps restore firmness and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful and contoured appearance without surgery or downtime.

How Does Ultherapy Work for the Jawline, Jowls, and Double Chin?

As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to loose skin and the development of jowls or a double chin. Ultherapy addresses these concerns by delivering ultrasound energy below the skin’s surface, precisely targeting areas that need tightening. This triggers a natural regenerative response, producing new collagen and gradually lifting and firming the skin along the jawline and under the chin.
Patients often notice initial tightening right after the procedure, with full results developing over two to three months as collagen builds up. For many, the improvement in jawline definition and reduction in jowls or double chin is dramatic and natural-looking.

Benefits of Ultherapy at Derm & Rejuvenation Institute of Santa Monica

  • Non-surgical and non-invasive: No needles, incisions, or anesthesia required.
  • Minimal downtime: Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
  • Long-lasting results: Collagen continues to improve skin firmness for months after the procedure.
  • Custom treatment plans: Dr. Kormeili tailors each session to your unique facial structure and goals.
  • Safe for all skin types: Ultherapy is effective for a wide range of patients, including those with mild to moderate skin laxity.

What to Expect During and After Ultherapy

Your Ultherapy session with Dr. Kormeili begins with a thorough consultation, ensuring your treatment is customized for optimal results. During the procedure, ultrasound gel is applied, and the device is used to deliver focused energy to targeted areas. You may feel brief sensations of heat or tingling, which are signs that collagen-building is underway[8][11].

There’s no required downtime—some patients experience mild swelling or tenderness, which typically resolves quickly. Over the next few months, you’ll notice your jawline becoming more defined, with reduced sagging and a smoother contour.

Is Ultherapy Right for You?

Ultherapy is ideal for individuals looking to address mild to moderate skin laxity, jowls, or a double chin without surgery. Results are most noticeable in patients who have good skin elasticity and realistic expectations. If you’re unsure whether Ultherapy is the best choice for your needs, schedule a consultation with Dr. Kormeili to discuss your goals and explore your options.
