In this episode of the HealthiHer podcast, Dr. Amy Brenner and Samantha Bauman, CNP, break down the full range of non-surgical under-eye treatments that can refresh your look without going under the knife.

Episode 102 – What is Jowling? – Non-surgical Treatment Options Non-Surgical Jowl Treatments & Facelift Alternatives: HealthiHer Podcast with Dr. Amy Brenner and Samantha Bauman, CNP Have you ever wondered what jowling is? Or how to avoid getting jowling? Or when to start tretaments to prevent facial sagging? Or treatments for jowling that don’t involove surgery? On this episode of the HealthiHer Podcast, Dr. Amy Brenner and Samantha Bauman, CNP, dive into non-surgical treatments for jowling and skin sagging—common signs of facial aging. As we age, natural fat loss, muscle atrophy, and reduced bone density lead to skin laxity and the development of jowls. Dr. Brenner and Samantha explain how neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport can be strategically injected into the platysmal bands to help prevent jowling and maintain a youthful jawline. For more advanced cases of skin laxity, they recommend radiofrequency microneedling treatments, such as Morpheus8 in Cincinnati, to tighten loose skin, remodel collagen, and reduce unwanted subcutaneous tissue. To restore lost facial volume, the providers also incorporate dermal fillers for a full-face rejuvenation. They emphasize the importance of early intervention and a comprehensive treatment approach, which can often delay or eliminate the need for a surgical facelift.
