Is your neckline not as smooth and tight as it used to be? Has your jawline lost a bit of the youthful contour and definition it once had? When it comes to aging skin, our faces usually receive most of the attention and investment. However, our jawline and neckline are among the first areas to reveal the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) signs of aging. As collagen levels naturally decline and years of sun exposure, environmental stressors, and gravity take their toll, most of us begin to notice a softening of definition along the jawline, sagging skin, and uneven, crepey texture across the neck. These changes can make us self-conscious about exposing our neckline and even appear older than our chronological age.
At Refinery Skin Clinic, our providers are experts in techniques and strategies to improve the appearance of the jawline and neckline. We offer a comprehensive menu of treatment solutions designed to naturally rejuvenate both areas and restore a more refined profile. Each treatment can deliver impressive benefits on its own — but the true transformation happens when these therapies are combined into a strategic, customized rejuvenation plan! Learn more about five treatments that work in harmony to redefine contours, boost skin vitality, and turn back the clock on an aging jawline and neckline.
Why Does the Jawline and Neckline Age?
The skin and structural support of the lower face and neck are uniquely delicate and complex. In addition, the skin of the neck is very vulnerable to sun damage, as many of us do not run our complete skincare regimen to the areas below our jawline, including sun protection. As we age, several natural processes also compound to contribute to visible changes:
- Collagen Breakdown and Loss of Firmness: The production of collagen and elastin, two critical proteins that give skin its strength and elasticity, declines steadily starting in our late 20s. The result? Laxity, sagging, and thinning skin, especially under the chin and jawline.
- Loss of Definition and Contour: Bone resorption along the jaw and chin, combined with shifting, diminishing fat pads, and thinning skin, softens the crisp, sharp lines that once defined the jawline.
- Muscle Changes: The platysma muscle bands in the neck can become more prominent with age, pulling downward on the lower face and contributing to a drooping appearance. This can also lead to the formation of deep bands or wrinkles across the neck.
- Skin Texture and Hydration Loss: The skin of the neck is thinner and produces less oil than the face, making it prone to dryness, crepeiness, and fine lines over time.
Refinery Skin Clinic Top Treatments to Rejuvenate Your Jawline and Neckline
1. Sofwave™ Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Sofwave™ is a non-surgical tightening device that uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to safely generate heat below the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production and tighten existing collagen fibers. This dual action results in tighter and more lifted skin on the face and body.
Benefits of Sofwave™:
- Lifts and tightens sagging skin along the jawline, chin, and neck
- Stimulates fresh collagen and elastin for firmer, tighter, and smoother skin
- Comfortable treatment with minimal downtime—most clients return to daily activities immediately
- Natural-looking improvement that continues to build over 3–6 months
- Ideal for clients noticing early to moderate skin laxity and wanting a firmer, more lifted look without surgery
2. CoolSculpting® to Reduce a Double Chin
CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment that uses controlled cooling technology to target and eliminate stubborn fat under the chin, helping reduce the appearance of a double chin and create a more sculpted, defined jawline. Refinery Skin Clinic is proud to offer CoolSculpting® ELITE, the most advanced, effective, and comfortable form of CoolSculpting®.
Benefits of CoolSculpting® for the jawline:
- Non-surgical – requires no needles, incisions, or anesthesia
- Is a safe and FDA-cleared proven technology with minimal risk and reliable results
- Offers permanent fat reduction results
- Minimal to no downtime – you can return to daily activities immediately after treatment
- Natural-looking contouring and gradual fat reduction create smooth, subtle enhancement
3. BOTOX® Cosmetic for the Lower Face & Platysmal Bands
Most of us are familiar with BOTOX® Cosmetic for smoothing forehead lines and crow’s feet, but did you know it can also improve the appearance of the lower face and neck? When your Refinery Skin Clinic Injection Specialist injects BOTOX® into targeted areas along the jawline and neckline, they can relax downward-pulling muscles that contribute to jowling and neck banding. This injection technique can create a subtle lift to the lower face and even accentuate your jawline.
Benefits of BOTOX® for the lower face and neck:
- Softens platysmal bands (the vertical cords that appear on the neck) for a smoother neckline
- Lifts the corners of the mouth and sharpens the jawline (sometimes called the “Nefertiti Lift”)
- Creates a more defined, elegant profile with subtle, natural-looking results
- Quick treatment with no downtime
- Can be combined with additional treatments like SKINVIVE™ or JUVÉDERM® VOLLUX™ XC to enhance your overall result
4. SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® for Hydration and Texture
SKINVIVE™ is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid microdroplet injection designed to improve skin quality and moisture. While traditional fillers add volume, SKINVIVE™ focuses on improving skin hydration and texture—making it a beautiful solution for the crepey texture so many of us experience on our necklines as we age.
Benefits of SKINVIVE™:
- Deeply hydrates the skin for a radiant, dewy appearance
- Smooths fine lines and crepey texture along the jawline, chin, and neck
- Enhances skin elasticity and softness without adding bulk
- Results last 4-6 months with minimal downtime
- Can be combined with other treatments, like BOTOX® Cosmetic, to act as a “skin booster” that works from within to restore supple, healthy skin in delicate areas that are often overlooked
5. JUVÉDERM® VOLLUX™ XC for Jawline Enhancement
A well-defined jawline can dramatically enhance the balance, beauty, and structure of the face. JUVÉDERM® VOLLUX™ XC is designed to help you achieve exactly that! This advanced hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler is specifically formulated to add volume, contour, and definition to the jawline and chin area. By subtly lifting and sculpting, VOLLUX™ can create a stronger, more youthful profile while maintaining natural-looking results. Whether you’re looking to sharpen soft edges or restore lost volume due to aging, this innovative treatment offers a non-surgical solution for elegant, long-lasting contour.
Key benefits of JUVÉDERM® VOLLUX™ XC:
- Enhances jawline definition and adds structural contour
