Many people invest significantly on face creams, only to entirely ignore the jaw and neck area. Similarly, as we learn more about the harm of UV rays, it is often the face and shoulders that we protect, with the jowl and neck areas coming a poor second.
Perhaps as a result, although gravity and ageing are also factors, the area around and beneath the chin is a classic problem area, which may be why some people opt for the surgical face-lift.
However, thanks to recent technological advances, here at Riverbanks, Dr Ravi Jain is now happy to offer you non-surgical treatment options which can help improve the appearance of necks and jowls.

Botulinum Toxin Injections
Neck bands, on the other hand, cannot be held at bay using skin creams.
These unavoidable bands in the middle of the neck, beneath the chin, begin to tighten and become more prominent as we get older and can be one of the defining features of ageing.
Botulinum Toxin can be used to tighten the jawline in suitable patients. The technique used has been described as 'The Nefertiti Lift'.
