Jowls
Jowls, those sagging pockets of skin, are a result of the natural ageing process and gravity. As fat that once occupied higher regions of the face descends, coupled with changes in skin tissue, the jawline can appear heavier and less defined.
Our non-surgical approaches include the strategic use of dermal fillers and threads, working harmoniously to lift and redefine facial contours. Additionally, we harness the power of energy-based devices and skin-tightening technologies to rejuvenate. Our personalised and comprehensive solutions address your unique concerns through precise injections or cutting-edge technologies. Our goal is to restore your jawline’s strength and redefine your facial appearance. Step into a world where ageing gracefully meets modern innovation.

ZO Controlled Depth Peel
Dr Zein Obagi, the inventor of the original Obagi Blue Peel, introduces the Controlled Depth Peel. ZO Controlled Depth Peel is a robust in-office peel that provides dermal and epidermal stimulation and stabilisation for a faster recovery and excellent results. This peel utilises a concentration of trichloracetic acid (TCA) buffered for different skin types, which allows physicians to precisely tailor treatment for a range of skin conditions.
Resurfacing Damaged Skin with TCA
TCA (trichloracetic acid) is a non-toxic chemical that is used by medical professionals to perform therapeutic skin peels. When TCA is applied to the skin, it causes surface skin cells to lift and then peel off over a period of several days to one week. When the surface skin peels away, it exposes a new layer of undamaged skin, which has a smoother texture and a more even skin tone. ZO Controlled Depth Peel provides effective, long lasting skin health restoration for the following skin conditions:
- Brown spots, age spots and uneven pigmentation
- Melasma
- Leathery, sun-damaged skin
- Acne and related post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
ZO Controlled Depth Peel Protocol
Preconditioning Skin
Dr Obagi recommends strengthening and preparing the skin 4-6 weeks prior to performing the ZO peel by using the ZO Hydroquinone or Non-Hydroquinone System. Use of the system will enhance results as well as accelerate healing.
Peel Preparation and Application
A blue, pH-balanced peel base guide is applied to the skin which allows a smooth application of TCA. This helps slow down the penetration and reduces skin irritation. TCA treatments must be applied in an even and continuous application over the entire treatment area with an effective visual guidance system. ZO custom-designed a pH-balanced peel base that complements the use of TCA. The ZO Controlled Depth Peel Base, when proportionally prepared with TCA, is a highly effective method to aid in systemic application guidance over the entire treatment area. Enriched with skin lipid supplements, skin redness modulators and antioxidants, this ZO base minimizes skin redness, replenishes skin barrier function, and minimizes newly exposed skin cells from post-peel damaging oxidative stress.
Blue Tint Removal
ZO Controlled Depth Peel Cleanser emulsifies and lifts most colorant staining and residue on the skin following application of the ZO Controlled Depth Peel Base. During the foaming action, an ultra-mild beta-hydroxy acid exfoliate deposits on skin for secondary removal of any remaining dead surface skin cells. In addition, vitamin B3-niacinamide penetrates the upper layers of the skin to help aid the skin’s natural cellular renewal processes that accelerate replenishment of new skin cells and help maintain healthy skin.
Skin Renewal
Once redness has subsided, new skin shows a dramatic reduction or reversal of prior conditions. Exposed skin is smoother and firmer with a more even skin tone and radiance.

Jowls Faq
Profhilo® is a form of injectable rejuvenation treatment, and unlike dermal fillers it is not designed to add volume to the skin, or restrict movement in the facial muscles like Botox®. Instead, this anti-ageing treatment contains high levels of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring compound which helps improve tone, texture and elasticity and will give you the ultimate hydration. Unlike other products, it is thought to improve elastin as well as collagen fibres improving skin quality.
As we age, hyaluronic acid in the skin naturally starts to drop and our collagen producing cells become lazy. This causes skin to lose its natural firmness and elasticity. Most people begin to see the effects of hyaluronic acid depletion as they reach their 30s and Profhilo® is the perfect treatment to improve skin changes from then.
