Blog with Dr. IrwinTag >> Jowlsjawline Are facial exercises helpful for sagging skin?Posted in Premature Aging, Jowlsjawline, Jowls and Jawline, Aging Skin, 2011 on Apr 12, 2011 | Permalink Hi Dr Irwin,
Do you feel that face exercises are beneficial to help
with sagging skin?
Thank you,

There is no great research on this. In my opinion, they don't help because it isn't the muscles that are sagging! Sometimes, they even make things worse because some wrinkles are caused... more That Dr. Oz episode with Radiesse for jowls.Posted in Restylane, Radiesse, JuvedermRestylane, Juvederm and Restylane, Jowlsjawline, Jowls and Jawline, 2010 on Dec 04, 2010 | Permalink Dr. Oz had a cosmetic dermotologist on yesterday addressing the issue of jowls- uck! She treated a woman on the show with RADIESSE- instant results and lasts up to 1 1/2 years. Was really quite amazing and was wondering what your thoughts are on this. Thank-you Dr. Irwin! Connie
This episode was a few weeks ago but I thought it was interesting. I generally don't like Radiesse in the cheeks because I think it looks too stiff and a little wooden when the face is... more Does running make your face sag more?Posted in Jowlsjawline, Jowls and Jawline, 2010 on Nov 28, 2010 | Permalink Does running make your face sag more?

I have had bad experiences with several fillers. What can I use around my mouth?Posted in Sculptra, Restylane, Lips, JuvedermRestylane, Juvederm and Restylane, Jowlsjawline, Jowls and Jawline, Fillers, Chin Lines, Cheeks, 2010 on Aug 13, 2010 | Permalink I have marionette lines around my mouth. It is due to volume loss in my chin. I had a bad experience with Restylane, (massive swelling after the procedure that scared me into a visit to the ER). Would Artefill be a more permanent option? I also had fat put into this area but it only lasted about 3 months. Could a laser tighten the skin in this area to get rid of it. It is not to bad I am 50.
I wish I could say your situation is unusual but I've heard many similar stories! Let's start at the beginning and think through this. I want you to go back to the mirror because most of... more Is my fat pad damaged?Posted in Jowlsjawline, Jowls and Jawline, 2010 on Jun 09, 2010 | Permalink How can you tell if your fat pad has been damaged?
Okay - you might have to help me a little on this one. Which fat pad are we talking about? Since we have them all over us and most of us would love to get rid of a few on our bodies, I'm... more

Ulther.com is the manufacturer's site. I understand that it has just been approved this last fall. Would appreciate your opinion.
Ulthera is a ultrasound based technology designed as a competitor to Thermage the radiofrequency (also a sound wave) based system that can tighten facial skin and build collagen. Neither... more Ulthera skin tightening - does it work?Posted in Thermage and Radiofrequency Devices, Thermage, Jowlsjawline, Jowls and Jawline on Feb 01, 2010 | Permalink I am interested in your thoughts about the new Ulthera system of skin
tightening?? Is it possible that it can tighten the sagging jowls and neck area? There's not a lot of data on this system but my impression is that it works about as well as Thermage. Which is to say that it works best in patients 30-50 with the expectation of subtle... more
