If you’re bothered by jowls, injecting directly into the jawline isn’t always the answer.

Jowling is rarely caused by one thing, so I always assess the face as a whole before deciding where, or whether, to use filler.

Sometimes there’s a hollow just in front of the jowl, known as the pre-jowl sulcus, and carefully restoring support there can smooth the transition into the chin.

For other patients, the chin itself is under-projected. Improving chin support can rebalance the lower face and make the jowl look less prominent without simply adding more product along the jawline.

Then we assess the cheeks, jawline, skin laxity and overall facial structure. If heaviness or laxity is the main issue, adding volume in the wrong place can actually make the lower face look heavier.

This is why I’d never treat “jowls” from a photograph or with a standard set of injection points. The right approach depends on what’s actually creating the change in your face.

If you’re starting to notice heaviness through the lower face and want to understand what would genuinely help, book a consultation in clinic and we’ll discuss the right options for you 💌

The best skin-tightening treatment isn’t necessarily the newest, most expensive, or most talked-about. It’s the one that actually matches your skin.

There are now so many options for treating laxity, from ultrasound and radiofrequency to RF microneedling, lasers, plasma and threads, but they don’t all work in the same way, and they certainly don’t suit every patient.

Some are better for a subtle lift. Some are stronger for texture and collagen remodelling. Some have more downtime. Some deliver quicker results but come with more trade-offs.

What matters most is your anatomy, how much laxity you actually have, your skin’s quality and thickness, your tolerance for downtime, and, importantly, what you expect the treatment to achieve.

That’s also why I’m cautious when a particular device suddenly becomes the answer to everything. Good skin tightening starts with proper assessment, not choosing the machine first.

If laxity is starting to bother you and you’re not sure which approach makes the most sense, book a consultation via the link in my bio, and we can work through the options properly 💌

There’s no single “best” injectable. There’s only the one that actually makes sense for your face, your skin and your goals ✨️

Used well, filler, biostimulators, skin boosters and anti-wrinkle treatments all have their place. The skill is knowing when to use which one, and when not to inject at all.

Which injectable would you like me to rate next?

Polynucleotides are everywhere right now, but the important question isn’t whether they’re trending. It’s whether they’re actually right for your skin.

Think of them as a skin-quality treatment. The goal is gradual improvement in hydration, texture, elasticity and overall resilience, rather than instant volume or a dramatic change in facial shape.

That’s why they can be particularly useful around the under-eye area, where the skin is thinner and more delicate. But expectations matter here, too. Dark circles can be caused by pigmentation, visible vessels, thin skin, hollowing or a combination of these, so polynucleotides won’t be the answer for everyone.

The real value comes from matching the treatment to the cause of the concern, not simply booking it because it’s popular.

If you’re considering polynucleotides and want a realistic idea of what they could do for your skin, DM the word ‘POLYS’ to learn more or book a consultation at Corium Clinic, and we can work out the right option for you, together 💌

Filler is a tool, not a solution for every sign of ageing.

Used well, it can restore support, improve proportion and soften certain areas where volume has genuinely been lost. But there are limits to what it can and should do.

Good aesthetic treatment looks at the whole face, not just where filler can be placed. Skin quality, hydration, pigmentation, collagen loss, facial movement, and underlying structure all matter, and sometimes filler isn’t what will make the biggest difference.

It should also work with your anatomy, not against it. The aim isn’t to create the same face on every patient or chase someone else’s features. It’s to make thoughtful, conservative changes that still look like you.

That’s why the consultation matters. The best plan starts with understanding what’s actually changed, then choosing the right treatment for the job.
