Selfies and zoom calls - welcome to a world where snatched jawlines are on our want list! 

At Pulsar Health we love bringing out your natural jawline, and we have lots of tools in our bag of tricks to make it happen for you. Which one is best for you, or what combo, is something you can talk with us about when we see you. Here's a sprinkling of what's possible:

1. Skincare: this is the base from which we build. Essential for long-term skin texture and tightness, we give recommendations of which products / ingredients are important for your skin health and turnover. Results of any treatments are improved when you have strong elastic skin to show off your amazing snatched jawline :)

2. Lasers: Doing treatments with gentle ablative lasers can smoothen and tighten your skin. We use the carbon dioxide Cool Peel laser, safe on all skin colors, in different strengths, usually in a series for maximum results and maintenance. We can do a Deka carbon dioxide laser in lighter skin tones, which is extra strong. We combine these with stem cell and growth factor therapies to turn back time on your skin, improving texture as well as tightness. There is downtime of one to two days or weeks, depending on the strength of the laser, but it improves your whole face and neck area. See our video with Janneth to show how it brought out her naturally beautiful jawline.

3. DEEP / Smart Virtue treatments: radiofrequency microneedling (RF-MN) tightens the skin as well as improves its elasticity / strength if done at the right depths and strengths. We have the super comfortable yet effective (thank you sub-pulsing technology!) Virtue platform that allows us to treat skin of the chin and jowls as well as the rest of the face and neck, and we apply stem cells as well as peptide rich masks to rejuvenate the skin. You actually leave looking wonderful and it keeps improving for 3 months, although spacing treatments four to six weeks apart gives even faster results. This works over time in a series of treatments with minimal downtime. To take your results to an even higher level, you may want to add dermal exosomes or platelet rich plasma (PRP).

4. Neuromodulators: For people with strong masseter muscles (on the outer side of your jaws towards the back), neuromodulators like botox or dysport can also reduce the size of these and slim the jawline but it can take time and repeated treatments to get the full effect. Dimpling of the chin muscle (mentalis) can also be helped by neuromodulators, as can platysma bands of the neck. Neuromodulators need to be repeated every few months to maintain their effect. 

5. Fillers: Chin and jawline fillers can define your jaw structure better. Firmer fillers are generally better for the jawline, and softer ones for the folds around the mouth. Be careful to not overfill the lower face to avoid heaviness here, as that can be aging. Overall, it's better to tighten the lower face and fill the mid face for a more youthful look. (See the website section on "Lifting your Face" for more guidance.) Fillers last for about a year, sometimes longer depending on the filler and movement in that area. We can use either traditional hyaluronic acid fillers or "bio-fillers" with PRP to create the profile you want. The "bio-fillers" help regenerate your own natural tissue, so although tend to not last as long initially, they have long-term benefits.

6. Implants: More "permanent" fixes than fillers, implants such as chin implants can make a big difference to the facial profile. Chin implants can be placed in an awake procedure, whilst more complex implants can require general anesthesia. Sizing should be done beforehand, and please bring in photos of the aesthetic you are going for in order to get the best size and shape for you. The amount of swelling you get from implants can vary greatly, so recovery can take a while here. Implants can also get infected or have other longer term issues, which we will guide you on if you are considering this option.

7. Threads: One of Pulsar Health's specialties, lifting threads can sculpt the jawline beautifully for a "lunchtime lift" :) We do recommend that you go home and ice rather than go back to work though! The cheeks and jowls are elevated to reduce folds around the nose / mouth, and the jawline sharply defined. Strong lifting threads are placed just above and just below the jawline to really sharpen that edge! We can also place extra threads to lift and tighten the soft area under the chin. Using good quality skin care in important for those with thinner chin and neck skin. The main discomfort is putting in the numbing medicine, and a feeling of being swollen afterwards. Swelling usually lasts for a few days (sleep with your head elevated!) and the skin gradually relaxes into a natural but elevated position - ta dah! Going to an experienced provider is important for Thread lifts as the shape and longevity of the results will be influenced by skill level and the quality / quantity of materials used. Temporary skin puckering can occur in some clients, which can be massaged away or released with a needle if necessary. Infections are rare in the jawline area and results typically last about a year. Dr. Gill has trained many providers over the years in this procedure, which is the non-invasive world's closest thing to a surgical face lift.

8. Chin liposuction +/- Renuvion J-plasma +/- MyEllevate: Fast and elegant, chin liposuction with or without skin tightening with Renuvion J-plasma is designed to suction away fat and improve skin quality and tightness, with only three tiny The actual procedure takes less than an hour, and is very comfortable when done awake. Adding the MyEllevate does add some more tiny incisions and a bit more time, but it also helps get rid of neck bands (platysmal bands) as well as create a more sharply defined neck / chin angle. These treatments are ideal for clients with some chin fat but not a lot of excess skin. Renuvion J-plasma helps contract tissue under the skin by 40 to 60%, versus liposuction alone causing 10 to 20% contracture. We do recommend use of a garment / collar afterwards for a couple of weeks to get the best results. These treatments are great after losing weight with the Skinny Shot to help tighten and sharpen up the jawline!

9. Lower face / neck lift: the ultimate, gets rid of excess skin +/- fat with a touch of liposuction. We can tighten muscle and define your natural jawline by repositioning some of your deeper "SMAS" layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). Many of our clients elect to do the procedure "awake" to avoid the downsides of general anesthesia, so your recovery is easier and faster. It is quite comfortable awake, but there is downtime following surgery including wearing a neck garment to help support healing. Scars around the ears and next to the hairline are required, and generally heal well, but we have treatments to help them heal if there are issues such as scar thickening. The surgical neck lift is the best procedure if you have a lot of excess skin, but ideally is used with other treatments to improve the skin's strength and elasticity to help results last as long as possible, given the ongoing forces of aging. If you smoke, stop nicotine usage for at least three months before and two months after surgery.

Dr. Gill is a craniofacial surgeon so she performs Orthognathic surgery for cosmetic and reconstructive needs, where the jaws are better aligned to correct underbite / overbites, or to improve the facial profile. She also does facial balancing work and gender affirmation facial surgeries where the jaw can be slimmed down or enhanced. Please see the "Gender affirmation for the face" section for facial feminization surgeries. You are welcome to visit for a consultation if you have questions.
