The short version
- Jawline approaches fall into three general categories: skin tightening, muscle toning, and volume or structure support.
- Submental (chin) liposuction, aimed at refining the jawline, saw a 6% rise in 2023, a sign of how much interest this area draws.
- Aesthetic Wellness offers Emface and Exion, both needle-free with zero downtime, alongside injectables.
- Which option fits a jawline goal, if any, is decided in a consultation, not in advance.
This guide covers what jawline contouring generally involves, where Aesthetic Wellness's own treatments fit into that picture, and how Emface and Exion, two of the practice's core technologies, relate to a jawline-focused conversation.
None of this is meant as a promise of a specific outcome. Results and the right approach vary from person to person, so think of this as background for a conversation with the practice rather than a substitute for one.
What Jawline Contouring Generally Involves
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' 2023 Procedural Statistics Report, submental (chin) liposuction, a procedure aimed at refining the jawline, saw a 6% rise that year. Approaches people typically research fall into a few general categories, summarized below.
| General category | General focus |
|---|---|
| Skin tightening | Addressing looser skin along the jaw and lower face |
| Muscle toning | Addressing muscle tone in the face and jaw area |
| Volume or structure support | Addressing volume loss or structural definition along the jawline |
Not every category applies to every person, and which one, if any, fits your own goals depends on an individual consultation rather than something to determine on your own beforehand.
Part of why jawline contouring is discussed as a category, rather than a single treatment, is that the reasons someone's jawline definition has changed, or never developed the way they wanted, can differ quite a bit. Genetics, age-related changes, and other factors can all play a role, and distinguishing between them is generally part of what a consultation is for.
For people specifically researching non-surgical options, needles and downtime are often part of the decision. Aesthetic Wellness describes both of its core jawline-relevant technologies, Emface and Exion, as needle-free and requiring zero downtime, which is part of why they tend to come up in conversations framed around avoiding surgery rather than general cosmetic treatment.
Jawline Contouring at Aesthetic Wellness
Aesthetic Wellness offers a range of non-surgical treatments, and a jawline-focused conversation is one that fits within that broader range of options. You can see the full range of treatments the practice offers to get a sense of where a jawline-focused goal might fit.
Because jawline goals can mean different things to different people, a sharper angle for one person, reduced fullness for another, a general consultation is typically the starting point rather than requesting a specific treatment by name before anyone has looked at your particular situation.

Where Emface and Exion Fit Into the Conversation
Emface and Exion are two of the practice's core treatment technologies, and both are worth understanding at a general level if jawline definition is part of what you are exploring.
| Technology | General focus |
|---|---|
| Emface | Facial muscle toning, which Aesthetic Wellness lists as addressing an undefined jawline or double chin, among other concerns |
| Exion | Skin tightening |
Emface works by pairing synchronized radiofrequency with HIFES, a form of facial muscle stimulation, delivered in a single hands-free session without needles. Exion takes a different approach, pairing radiofrequency with targeted ultrasound to work on the skin's deeper layers rather than the muscles underneath. Aesthetic Wellness describes both as non-invasive, needle-free, and requiring zero downtime.
You can learn more about Emface and Exion individually, though whether one, both, or neither fits a jawline-focused goal is best discussed during a consultation rather than assumed from a general description.
It is also worth knowing that these two technologies are not necessarily an either-or choice. Depending on what a consultation turns up about your particular goals, one, both, or a different option entirely from the practice's broader range of treatments might end up being the direction that makes sense.
For goals that lean more toward volume or structural support rather than muscle tone or skin quality, Aesthetic Wellness also offers injectables, including Botox and dermal fillers, in-house. Patients sometimes pair these with Emface or Exion depending on what a consultation identifies as the right combination, rather than choosing a single treatment in isolation ahead of time.
