Tighten Saggy Cheeks and Jowls Without Surgery (Protégé EliteTM)

You probably already know that collagen production declines as you age, but did you know the big slow-down can happen as early as your mid-to-late twenties? As collagen production starts to decline, you might notice sagging cheeks and jowls. 

Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits can accelerate this process, but regardless of how you got here, the end result is still sagging cheeks and jowls.

While surgical options like facelifts dramatically improve sagging jowls, not everyone wants invasive surgery. The good news is that noninvasive treatments like Protégé EliteTM offer a safe and effective alternative for those seeking natural-looking results without the downtime and risks associated with surgery — and it’s available here at Aurora OB/GYN  in San Antonio, Texas.

What is Protégé Elite?

Protégé Elite is an FDA-approved state-of-the-art noninvasive radiofrequency (RF) device designed to stimulate collagen production and tighten your skin. The handheld device delivers controlled RF energy deep into your skin and heats the underlying tissue. This gentle heat works on a cellular level to stimulate the production of new collagen fibers, resulting in gradual skin tightening and firming. 

Over the next two to three months, you’ll notice improvements in your facial contours and a reduction in sagging cheeks and jowls. 

4 reasons to consider Protégé Elite

Here are four more reasons to consider this noninvasive treatment:

It’s comfortable

The treatment is noninvasive, painless, and requires no downtime, so you can resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure. Unlike invasive surgery,  you won’t have to take off days or even weeks from work to recover. 

It can tighten many areas

Dr. Allsup can also use the device to treat your forehead, neck, cheeks, and jowls. Although most people choose to treat their neck, cheeks, and jowls, you can also use the device to treat minor skin laxity on your arms or belly.

There’s no cutting or sutures required 

This procedure is noninvasive, which means there are no needles, cutting, incisions, or sutures. In other words, you won’t have to fuss with incision sites or wound care. 

It can boost your confidence

Reducing the appearance of saggy skin can boost your confidence and help you feel more confident. What’s not to love about that?
