Smooth, Lift, and Define: Non-Surgical Solutions for Sagging Jowls
Sagging jowls are a common sign of aging, often caused by the gradual loss of collagen, elastin, and facial volume. While they can make the lower face appear tired or less defined, today’s advanced technologies offer powerful, non-surgical ways to restore a firmer, more youthful look.
At our practice, we offer several proven treatments designed to tighten, lift, and contour the jawline — all without surgery or downtime.
Thermage and Exilis Ultra 360
Both Thermage and Exilis Ultra 360 harness the power of radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. This process improves skin elasticity and firmness, gradually tightening sagging jowls and redefining facial contours. Results develop over the following months and can last a year or longer, making these treatments ideal for those seeking natural, progressive improvement.
Fraxel Repair
For more advanced sagging or skin laxity, Fraxel Repair offers a fractional CO₂ laser solution that resurfaces and rejuvenates the skin from within. This treatment improves texture and firmness, helping to lift and smooth the lower face. Fraxel Repair delivers dramatic, long-lasting results with just one treatment session and continues to stimulate collagen remodeling long after your appointment.
Infini RF Microneedling
Infini combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and lift sagging skin with precision. The micro-needles deliver heat energy deep into the dermis, triggering robust collagen production while leaving the surface layer intact. This dual-action approach effectively firms the jowls and sharpens the jawline — perfect for patients who want visible definition without downtime or surgery.
Rediscover Your Contours
With these innovative, non-invasive options, you can restore a lifted, sculpted, and confident appearance — no scalpel required.
The best approach for sagging jowls depends on your individual skin quality, degree of laxity, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, I will design a personalized treatment plan to help you look refreshed, youthful, and naturally beautiful.
Lift and Tighten: Non-Surgical Solutions for Sagging Skin
Sagging skin is a natural part of aging, but you don’t have to simply accept it. Today, advanced non-invasive treatments can restore a firmer, more youthful look—without surgery or lengthy downtime. At East End Laser Care, we offer two powerful, proven options for skin tightening: Thermage and Exilis.
As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen and elastin, the essential building blocks that keep it smooth and resilient. Over time, this breakdown leads to common concerns like:
-
Jowls or sagging along the jawline
-
Wrinkled or crepey necklines
-
Loose skin on the arms or abdomen
-
Overall loss of facial firmness
The good news? With the right technology, your skin can be gently encouraged to rebuild collagen, tightening and lifting naturally over time.
Thermage: Deep Collagen Remodeling
Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin, where collagen lives. This controlled heat stimulates new collagen production, which gradually firms and smooths your skin.
-
Natural-looking results – no “pulled” or overdone appearance
-
Treats multiple areas – face, neck, arms, abdomen, and more
-
No downtime – you can return to your normal routine right away
Many patients notice subtle improvement right after treatment, with results continuing to build over the next several months as new collagen develops.
Exilis: Dual-Energy Skin Tightening
Exilis combines RF energy with ultrasound technology for a powerful, targeted treatment. This dual approach allows for:
-
Precise treatment of both superficial and deep skin layers
-
Faster, more dramatic tightening and contouring
-
Comfortable sessions with no downtime
Exilis is an excellent choice for those seeking to firm and smooth areas like the face, neck, arms, thighs, or midsection.
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Both Thermage and Exilis are safe, effective, and completely non-surgical. The right choice depends on your specific goals, skin condition, and the area you want to treat. During your consultation, Dr. Covey will personally evaluate your skin and create a customized plan to deliver the most natural and beautiful results.
If sagging skin has been bothering you, now is the perfect time to explore your options. Schedule your complimentary consultation and discover how non-invasive skin tightening can help you look refreshed, lifted, and confidently you—without surgery.
Thermage and Exilis – Powerful Solutions to Treat Sagging Skin
Sagging skin is a natural part of the aging process, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it as an inevitable part of your life. Non-invasive treatments like Thermage and Exilis have emerged as game-changers in the world of skin rejuvenation, offering effective solutions for those seeking to combat sagging skin.
Thermage is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to target the skin’s deep layers. It works by delivering controlled RF energy deep into the skin, heating the collagen-rich layers. This heat stimulates collagen production, which gradually tightens and firms the skin over time. The gradual improvement achieved with Thermage ensures that your results appear natural. You won’t have that “pulled” or “frozen” look often associated with surgical procedures. Thermage is effective for treating sagging skin on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, and abdomen. It can address concerns like jowls, loose skin on the abdomen, and wrinkled necklines.
Exilis is another non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses a combination of RF energy and ultrasound to address sagging skin. The procedure employs a unique combination of RF and ultrasound energy, allowing it to target both the superficial and deep layers of the skin. This dual energy approach maximizes collagen stimulation to produce dramatic results without surgery or downtime.
If sagging skin has been a concern for you, Thermage and Exilis both offer a non-invasive, comfortable, and effective solution. These treatments stimulate collagen production, providing natural and long-lasting results.

Reshape and Minimize with Exilis Ultra 360
In New York, the winter climate protects us from showing off skin and shape that we may not love. Layers of clothing help to hide what we perceive as imperfections, and we become experts at the illusion. When it is cold and snowy, we know how to trick the eye.

Beware the Dreaded Droop
It is not something that you write in your calendar: “Skin sagging, August 17.” It is something that creeps up over time, sneakily, until one day, you notice.
The skin that used to appear taut and firm has begun to droop. You know that your body’s production of collagen has slowed, but you didn’t realize what exactly this process would do. Collagen, the natural anchoring substance under the skin, gives you a youthful and lifted appearance. But as it depletes, whether by simple aging or hereditary and environmental factors, your skin may begin to sag. Combined with the gradual decrease in elastin, the material that provides suppleness and resilience, your skin loses its tension and spring.
No area of your body, it seems, is safe. You may experience sagging in the face, neck, eyelids, abdomen, arms, legs and buttocks. While no nonsurgical treatment can reverse the condition entirely, many can drastically improve your appearance. We offer safe and effective treatments that will help your skin look younger and tighter.
Here are a few:
Thermage CPT is a thermal lift that is particularly effective for reducing loose skin around the eyes.
Exilis Ultra 360 is a treatment that combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to offer maximum power and targeted control, so that we focus on only the areas that need help.
INFINI is a high-energy radiofrequency device that smooths wrinkles and plumps skin. It is also particularly helpful for minimizing acne scarring.
Fraxel Repair is a laser that works on reducing deep lines, hard-to-erase lip lines, pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin, facial wrinkles and discolorations, age-related/sun-damaged rough skin texture, acne scars and surgical scars.
SmartLipo Triplex is a laser treatment that removes fat and tightens skin at the same time.
Kybella is a treatment that we use to minimize submental fat, more commonly known as the “double chin.”
If sagging skin is a concern for you, come in and talk with us about how we can help you feel better. Our consultations are complimentary, so call today to schedule an appointment.

To Sculpt Or Not To Sculpt
It is a big question for many of you. Particularly, if you’ve never had trouble losing weight by dieting and exercising, the thought of body sculpting may seem strange. But, it’s sometimes hard for some of us to improve our bodies without a little help.
Body shaping changes the size, profile and parameters of your anatomy, refining and sculpting areas that fail to respond to fewer calories and more time at the gym. My philosophy is to look at your body as a whole, not as a sum of parts, to create a natural and balanced silhouette that suits your frame. In our fully accredited facility, I utilize many state-of-the-art methods for doing this, including SmartLipo Triplex, Exilis Ultra 360, Thermage CPT and Cellulaze.
What Will Body Sculpting Do For You?
- tighten loose skin after dramatic weight loss
- restore a pre-pregnancy body after childbirth
- tighten up loose saggy skin and remove excess fat pockets
- eliminate cellulite and the “dimples” it causes
- give you a trim, firm and contoured body
- boost self-confidence and esteem
When Is the Best Time for Body Sculpting?
First, it’s important that you are in good general health and are at a stable weight for at least three months. You may choose to have treatments on multiple body areas, and these may be done at the same time or at different times, depending upon your individual plan. We’ll help you decide what is best for you.
Here are some of the procedures that we perform right here in our office:
SmartLipo Triplex: This procedure is less invasive and more precise than traditional liposuction. It removes unwanted fat from specific body areas that have resisted even the strictest diets and toughest exercise regimens. The process actually melts fat, stimulates skin tightening and encourages collagen renewal, using three wavelengths of light and a tiny cannula the size of a small ballpoint pen tip. SmartLipo is particularly effective on the abdomen, neck, jawline, inner arms, male breasts, love handles, bra fat, inner/outer thighs, inner knees, chin, hips, buttocks, pubic mound and back of neck.
Exilis Ultra 360: This is a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment that reduces unwanted inches and lifts and contours sagging skin anywhere on your body.
Thermage CPT: A nonsurgical treatment that will transform skin all over your body, Thermage CPT will tighten loose skin on the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs and buttocks. It’s the most effective thermal lift treatment for a multitude of concerns, and it yields dramatic results without incisions and recuperation.
Cellulaze: This minimally invasive procedure melts excess fat under the skin and removes the fibrous bands that pull skin into a dimple. It helps to decrease the appearance of cellulite in the areas where it typically crops up–the buttocks, hips, thighs, arms and abdomen. Cellulaze also stimulates collagen production, which thickens your skin.
As the summer approaches, I look forward to helping you devise a personalized treatment plan for reshaping and contouring your skin. I know that you will love feeling younger, healthier and more vibrant. Call our office today to schedule a complimentary consultation, and we’ll talk about how we can help you look and feel your best.

Targeting the Waist Up
When it comes to making improvements on your bodies, you may spend a lot of time talking about your lower half. Many people, particularly women, focus on their lower abdomens, hips and legs. When spring turns to summer, though, and sleeveless tops take center stage in wardrobes, many of you ask me about cosmetic treatments for your upper body.
Here’s a quick look at what we can do to trim and tighten your torso and upper extremities:
For arms and elbows: To reduce fat, tighten and contour these areas, SmartLipo Triplex, Exilis Elite and Thermage CPT are effective treatments that can be done now, in the spring, with dramatic results. You may notice that your tricep looks droopy, or the spot above your elbow has lost its spring, or the skin in the crease appears crepey. You may also spot bulges in your underarm area. SmartLipo, Exilis Elite and Thermage CPT can help minimize unwanted fat and folds. Even if you do your weights and toning exercises, sometimes the skin doesn’t respond the way that you want it to, so these minimally invasive treatments could be options for you.
For bra and abdomen fat: Loose-fitting or thick sweaters provide great camouflage during winter and fall. But with temperatures starting to soar, this trick will cease to work. The season’s tiny tops, not to mention bathing suits, will have a hard time covering the excess flesh that protrudes from the top of and the bottom of your bra strap. Those back bulges disrupt your entire silhouette, but we have several treatments that will help reduce them. Along with Exilis Elite and Thermage CPT, SmartLipo is highly effective, as it will destroy fat cells permanently.
Come talk with us about the many options for shaping and tightening your upper body. Call our offices today to schedule a complimentary consultation.
