How is XERF used for the jawline and jowls?

"My jawline is gone" can mean sagging, fat, muscle or bone. XERF handles the sagging, which usually comes from deeper layers.

The short answer

Jawline and jowl sagging often suits XERF centred on E60 with heat weighted deep. If the cause is fat, muscle or bone, XERF alone is not the answer. Miso Clinic in Daegu performs XERF often and sorts the cause sitting and lying down before setting depth.

Why weight deep?

Sagging over the jawline often reflects weakened support in the septa and fat, so we use E60 and deep weighting, then refine the border with a smaller tip.

Good combinations

With bulky muscle we add jaw botulinum toxin; with weak contour, dissolvable hyaluronic acid filler, in a planned order. Miso Clinic in Daegu performs XERF often and keeps all four effectors (i05, i10, E40, E60).

How does the consultation work, and how do I book?

On a first visit we take photos from the front, at 45 degrees and from the side, and together we pick the one concern that bothers you most. I'll ask about any medications you take, any metal or electronic implants in your face, and whether you might be pregnant, and then I split things into what we can do today and what can wait for later. It's completely fine to come in just for a consultation and go home.
