Dermatology ClinicJowls Treatment in Busan, Korea Non-surgical lifting for the sagging beside the chin, from ultrasound and RF to dissolvable threads
Jowls form when tissue beside the chin loosens and drops, breaking the line of the jaw. At JRYN Seomyeon, a doctor checks whether laxity, fat or volume loss is behind yours, and confirms the plan and price before treatment .
What is the best non-surgical treatment for jowls?
For mild to moderate jowls caused mainly by loose tissue, focused ultrasound such as Ultherapy Prime or Shurink lifts the deeper layers, RF such as Thermage FLX firms the skin, and dissolvable threads such as Silhouette Soft give a more immediate lift. The right choice depends on how far the tissue has dropped and whether fat or volume loss is also involved.
At JRYN Seomyeon, jowl treatment starts from ₩25,000 (Shurink, 100 shots). Silhouette Soft is ₩700,000 for 2 threads, and Thermage FLX starts from ₩1,200,000 (300 shots). Your doctor confirms the plan and total first.
Jowls Treatment at a glance
| What jowls are | Sagging or heaviness along the jaw, usually just beside the chin |
|---|---|
| What causes them | Collagen and elastin loss, weaker tissue support, fat shifts, volume loss higher in the face, genetics and weight change |
| Usual treatments | Ultrasound lifting, RF tightening, threads, or a combination |
| Filler? | Not always. Adding volume to a heavy lower face can make it look heavier, so filler is used only where support is missing. |
| Downtime | Minimal for ultrasound and RF. A few days of swelling or tenderness after threads. |
| When you see results | Gradual over weeks with energy devices, immediate with threads |
| Prices at JRYN | From ₩25,000 (Shurink) · Silhouette Soft ₩700,000 (2 threads) · Thermage FLX from ₩1,200,000 |
| When surgery fits better | Advanced jowls with a lot of excess skin |
Jowls or a different lower-face concern?
These are often confused, but each sits in a different place and responds to different treatment.
| Concern | Where it shows | Usually treated with |
|---|---|---|
| Jowls | Along the jaw, beside the chin | Ultrasound or RF lifting, threads |
| Double chin | Under the chin | Fat-focused treatment, contouring |
| Marionette lines | From the mouth corners down to the chin | Filler, boosters, lifting support |
| Nasolabial folds | From the nose to the mouth corners | Filler, mid-face lifting |
| Heavy lower face (fat) | Fullness across the lower cheeks | Contouring, not volume |
Who it suits
- You have early or mild to moderate jowls
- Your jawline has lost its clean line in photos
- You want a lift without surgery or a long recovery
- You prefer not to add filler volume to the lower face
- You want natural results that keep your face shape
Your doctor may suggest another option if…
- Jowls are advanced with a lot of loose skin (a facelift gives more correction)
- The heaviness is mostly fat rather than sagging
- You are pregnant or have an active skin infection
- You have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners (important for threads). Tell your doctor.
- You expect a surgical result from a non-surgical treatment

How much does jowls treatment cost in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, jowls treatment starts from ₩25,000 for Shurink Universe (100 shots). Ultherapy Prime starts from ₩990,000 (300 shots), Silhouette Soft is ₩700,000 for 2 threads, and Thermage FLX starts from ₩1,200,000 (300 shots). Your doctor confirms the plan and total before treatment.
Can jowls be fixed without surgery?
Mild to moderate jowls often improve with ultrasound lifting, RF tightening or threads. Advanced jowls with a lot of excess skin are better treated surgically, and your doctor will tell you honestly which group you are in.
Is HIFU or RF better for jowls?
HIFU reaches deeper layers and suits sagging that needs lift, while RF suits loose, crepey skin that needs firming. Many people with jowls benefit from both, planned by the doctor.
Can filler help jowls?
Sometimes, but not directly on the jowl. Filler may be placed where support has been lost, such as the chin or mid-face. Injecting volume into a heavy lower face can make jowls look worse.
Do threads work for jowls?
Yes, threads such as Silhouette Soft lift the jowl area straight away, and the threads then stimulate collagen as they dissolve. Expect a few days of swelling or tenderness.
When will I see results?
Threads show a lift immediately. With ultrasound and RF, improvement builds over several weeks to a few months as collagen remodels.
At what age do jowls start?
There is no set age. Some people notice early jowls in their 30s or 40s, others later, depending on genetics, skin, sun exposure and weight changes. Treatment depends on how much has changed, not on age.
Can I treat jowls on a short trip to Busan?
Yes. Ultrasound and RF are single sessions with minimal downtime. Threads need a few days to settle, so tell your doctor your flight date when planning.
