LOWER FACE REJUVENATION Method®
LOWER FACE REJUVENATION PROTOCOL™ begins
with structure.
We apply the SLFR™ Protocol to restore contour, support, and harmony to the lower third of the face
A protocol driven approach to restoring lower face support, definition and balance without surgery.

Why The Lower Face Changes first
The lower face is where aging becomes structural.
Bone support diminishes, retaining ligaments weaken, fat compartments shift, and skin loses its ability to recoil. These changes do not occur in isolation — they compound over time.
What patients often perceive as jowls, loss of jawline, or heaviness is rarely a surface issue alone. It is the visible result of deeper support systems no longer doing their job.
Why Surface Treatments Alone Fall Short
Many aesthetic treatments focus on what can be seen first — lines, folds, or skin texture.
While these approaches can be helpful in the right context, they do not address the underlying problem when structure has changed. Adding volume without restoring support, or tightening skin without stabilizing deeper layers, often leads to short-lived or imbalanced results.
This is why patients may feel they have “done a lot” — yet still don’t recognize themselves in the mirror.
A Different Way to Approach Rejuvenation.
Effective lower face rejuvenation requires sequence.
Structure must be assessed before volume is added.
Support must be restored before refinement is attempted.
Skin must be treated in the context of what lies beneath it.
This is not about doing more.
It is about doing things in the correct order, for the correct reason.
Our
Philosophy
We approach lower-face rejuvenation the way an architect approaches a structure — by understanding load, support, and balance before focusing on finish.
Every treatment plan begins with an anatomical assessment and follows a protocol designed to restore stability first, then definition, and finally refinement — without surgery.
We will tell you if you are an ideal candidate, what to expect and personalized options.
