Will red light help jowls?

“TL;DR: Unfortunately, red or infrared light therapy on its own will not tighten/lift or reduce the size of the jowl.

However, in combination with deep tissue radiofrequency, the gold standard procedure for safe and effective skin tightening and lifting, red/infrared light therapy can be of help to maximise the results of this therapy.”

Will red LED light help reduce / lift my jowl?

Unfortunately not.

We offer the strongest and best red/infrared LED phototherapy available on the market and we wish we could claim that your jowls will disappear or even be reduced / tightened with it but the honest truth is that they won’t.

The best possible technology to SAFELY and effectively tighten up and lift the jowl / jawline area, and reduce some of the fat there (but still not all), is deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency. This is the gold standard if you want effective results, without the adverse reactions of RF microneedling or HIFU.

We do combine our deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency with our high-power LED phototherapy in the red and infrared wavelengths, to maximise the benefits of radiofrequency. So we do use red light LED to improve the appearance of the jowl area - but not on its own.

How does red / infrared light maximise the results of radiofrequency?

Red / infrared light LED phototherapy at about 630nm and 830nm wavelengths, respectively, improves cell function and metabolism, by stimulating an enzyme called cytochrome C oxidase.

In this way red/infrared LED phototherapy, provided right after a radiofrequency treatment, will help with all the repair / rebuild processes set off by radiofrequency, resulting in maximising the results of radiofrequency.

On its own, red/infrared light therapy will also help partially prevent the creation of jowls (caused by fat accumulation and skin laxity) and perhaps ever so slightly improve them over a period of months - not days or weeks.

• In regard to skin firming (on the jowls or anywhere else), LED light therapy is great for prevention and slow, slight improvement - which is still great - but don’t expect any fast or significant improvement.

• In regard to fat reduction (on the jowls or anywhere else), LED light therapy does absolutely nothing.

So use red and infrared light therapy for prevention and slow, subtle improvement on the jowl area and deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, on its own or ideally with red/infrared light therapy, for actual skin tightening and lifting - and some fat reduction - at a much faster pace.

Tightening and lifting is all good but how do I reduce the size of my jowl?

As we mentioned, our deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency can only help with low levels of fat accumulation in the jawline / jowl area - and can definitely tighten up and lift the area, with a course of treatments (ideally 12).

However, there is only one procedure for significant jowl fat reduction and lifting, and that is surgery. Nothing else.

Do not believe the marketing hype and mess with RF micro needling (get educated by the adverse reactions here), HIFU (get educated by the adverse reactions here) or fat freezing / cryolipolysis, as you will regret it - see what happened to 90’s icon Linda Evangelista.

If you have significant fat accumulation and/or skin laxity in the jawline area just get the best possible surgeon and go for surgery.

And for lighter cases, just have the only SAFE and effective non-surgical procedure, i.e. deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency followed by high-power LED phototherapy.
