Saggy Skin & Jowls Treatment (Dheeli Jild)
Has your jawline softened, or do your cheeks sit lower than they used to? Sagging, or saggy, skin (dheeli jild) happens as collagen thins, fat pads shrink and skin loosens with age, sun and weight changes. A non-surgical face lift tightens and lifts it: HIFU and RF skin tightening with little or no downtime, a thread lift that lifts on the day, and Sculptra to rebuild support, from about Rs 6,300 a session in a course.
Also known as dheeli jild, ڈھیلی جلد, sagging skin, loose skin or skin laxity.
Is this you?
- Jowls along the jawline, so the jaw looks less sharp
- Cheeks that sit lower, with deeper lines beside the mouth
- Loose, thin skin on the neck
- Folds that show when you smile that weren’t there before
See a doctor first if one side of your face suddenly droops, or the drooping comes with numbness or weakness: that needs urgent medical care, not a cosmetic treatment.
What causes sagging skin and jowls?
- Collagen loss with age Skin makes less collagen and elastin each year, so it stretches and stops springing back.
- Lost volume Fat pads in the cheeks shrink with age, so the skin above has less support and drops.
- Sun UV breaks down collagen faster, so sun-exposed skin sags sooner.
- Weight changes Losing a lot of weight, especially quickly, can leave stretched skin that doesn’t bounce back.
- Genes Skin type and family traits decide how early and how much the face drops.

What results to expect
A non-surgical face lift works gradually and looks natural, so the before and after difference builds over weeks to months. In studies, HIFU lifted brows by up to about 2 mm and most people had firmer skin at three months, with results holding for at least a year. A thread lift shows on the day: in a review of 12 studies with 818 people, scores improved in every study straight after treatment. Sculptra builds over 2–3 months, and in a large trial most of the improvement was still there 25 months after the last session.
The honest limit: these treatments lift mild to moderate sagging. A surgical facelift removes and repositions skin, so the lift is bigger and lasts longer; if that is what your face needs, your doctor will say so.

Caring for your skin at home
- Sunscreen every day, SPF 30 or higher: UV breaks down the collagen that holds skin up.
- Keep your weight steady: repeated gains and losses stretch the skin.
- Don’t smoke: it damages collagen and speeds up sagging.
- Don’t expect a cream to lift: firming creams can make the surface look smoother, but none lifts skin that has dropped.
Sagging skin and jowls: your questions answered
Straight answers from our doctors to what people ask most about sagging skin and jowls.
Choosing a treatment 6
01What is the best treatment for saggy skin on the face?
The best treatment for saggy skin depends on how much it has dropped and why, which the doctor checks first.
Early sagging firms up with HIFU treatment or RF skin tightening, with little or no downtime. Moderate sagging lifts on the day with a thread lift, and a face that has lost volume needs Sculptra or fillers to restore support.
02What is the non-surgical face lift price in Pakistan?
A non-surgical face lift starts from about Rs 6,300 a session for RF skin tightening in a course of 3, or Rs 8,995 for one. HIFU is about Rs 14,000 a session for saggy cheeks and Rs 24,500 for the full face, each in a course of 2; PDO cog threads (2 pairs) are Rs 34,995 and Sculptra Rs 195,000 a vial. Prices are the same at all 12 clinics, the consultation is free, and any current offer is explained at the clinic.
03What is the best treatment for jowls?
Jowls usually need lifting or tightening first, with fillers or Botox as helpers.
HIFU tightens loose skin along the jaw; if the cheeks have dropped, a thread lift or Sculptra often sharpens the jaw more. Jawline fillers can disguise early jowls, while Botox helps only a little, by relaxing the neck muscle that pulls the jawline down.
04HIFU, RF skin tightening or a thread lift: which is better?
Each suits a different stage of sagging, so some plans use two.
HIFU focuses ultrasound deep under the skin to lift the jaw, cheeks and brows over 2–3 months. RF skin tightening firms the skin itself over a course, with no downtime. A thread lift gives a bigger lift on the day, with swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks.
05Can loose skin on the neck be tightened?
Yes, loose skin on the neck can be firmed without surgery.
HIFU treats the neck as well as the jaw, from about Rs 14,000 a session for the neck in a course of 2, or about Rs 31,500 for the face and neck. RF skin tightening firms loose neck skin over a course of sessions, and thin, lined skin on the neck also improves with Profhilo.
06Is there a non-surgical face lift for men?
Yes, and men get the same treatments at the same prices.
HIFU and RF skin tightening suit men who want no downtime before work, and a thread lift can sharpen a jawline that has softened. Men’s skin is often thicker and heavier, so the doctor plans the treatment for your face at the free consultation.
Cost & results 2
07Can you lift a sagging face without surgery?
Yes, mild to moderate sagging (dheeli jild) can be lifted without surgery, with a natural, gradual result.
HIFU and RF skin tightening firm the skin over 2–6 months, a thread lift lifts on the day, and Sculptra or fillers restore lost support. Very loose skin needs a surgical facelift, and your doctor will say so honestly.
08How long does a non-surgical face lift last?
Usually one to two years, depending on the treatment.
HIFU shows its main result at 2–3 months and lasts at least a year; Sculptra builds over 2–3 months and can last up to 2 years; and RF skin tightening lasts many months with top-ups. A thread lift shows the same day and fades as PDO threads dissolve, over about 6–8 months.
Safety & recovery 2
09Is a non-surgical face lift safe?
Yes, in trained hands, and side effects are usually mild and short-lived.
HIFU can feel like deep heat for a moment near the bone, so numbing cream helps, and most people go straight back to their day with mild redness. A thread lift brings swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks, so plan it well before an event. Less often, HIFU leaves a numb patch for a few weeks, or a thread puckers the skin or pokes through, which the doctor fixes.
10Where can I get a non-surgical face lift near me?
HIFU, RF skin tightening and thread lifts are done at all 12 Cutera Aesthetics clinics in 7 cities, at the same price, with female doctors at each. Find a skin specialist near me, or see thread lift in Islamabad. Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll book your free consultation.
