The best way to get rid of the look of sagging jowls without surgery, at home, is SKINFOUNDRY Halo. Jowls come from two things at once: skin that has lost firmness and facial muscle that has slackened. SKINFOUNDRY Halo is built for both, with bipolar radio frequency (RF) for the look of firmer skin and EMS muscle toning for a lifted, defined jawline, in about 25 minutes once or twice a week, for $395. Below: what causes jowls, what each option does, and a simple routine to follow.

What causes sagging jowls
Sagging jowls form when the skin along the jaw loses firmness and the muscles underneath lose tone. Both layers let go together, so the soft fullness gathers below the jawline. Sun exposure, time and weight changes speed this up. The key point: a treatment that works on only one layer leaves the other one sagging. For the full background, read what jowls are and what helps.
Every way to treat jowls without surgery, compared
SKINFOUNDRY Halo is the only option here that works on skin and muscle, at home, with no appointment. In-office treatments each work on one layer and need a clinic visit.
| Option | Works on | Where | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| SKINFOUNDRY Halo (our pick) | Skin (RF) and muscle (EMS) | At home, about 25 min once or twice a week | None |
| Microcurrent device (for example NuFACE) | Muscle only | At home, NuFACE says daily | None |
| RF-only device (for example CurrentBody Skin RF) | Skin only | At home | None |
| RF microneedling | Skin | Clinic, usually a series of sessions | Redness for a few days |
| HIFU (for example Ultherapy) | Deeper support layer | Clinic | Little, can be tender |
| Dermal filler | Volume along the jaw, to camouflage jowls | Clinic, topped up over time | Possible swelling or bruising |

Why SKINFOUNDRY Halo is the best at-home option for jowls
SKINFOUNDRY Halo wins because it treats both causes of jowls in one device. Most at-home devices pick one side: microcurrent devices such as NuFACE work the muscle, and RF-only devices such as CurrentBody Skin RF work the skin.
- RF for the skin. Bipolar RF at 1 MHz gently warms the skin for the look of firmer, smoother skin along the jaw.
- EMS for the muscle. EMS muscle toning works the facial muscles for a lifted, defined contour.
- Five technologies, one device. Ultrasonic technology and sonic vibration support deep cleansing and help skincare absorb, plus LED.
- A routine you will keep. Five guided five-minute modes: Clean, Import, Eye Care, Anti-aging and Lifting. The Full Treatment takes about 25 minutes, once or twice a week. NuFACE’s TRINITY+ page says to use it daily.
- A gel that treats your skin. SKINFOUNDRY Halo ships with Lumis, which conducts the RF and EMS and carries niacinamide 3%, tranexamic acid 2%, vitamin C, a peptide and hyaluronic acid.
- Cordless, $395, 90-Day Promise. Try it at home for 90 days. Backed by a 1-year warranty.

How to lift jowls at home: a simple routine
Use SKINFOUNDRY Halo once or twice a week, protect your skin daily, and give it a steady eight weeks.
- Cleanse and apply Lumis. Spread a generous layer along the jaw, chin and lower cheeks.
- Run the Full Treatment. Follow the five guided modes, about 25 minutes in total.
- Work upward along the jaw. Glide from the center of the chin toward the ear, never downward. Finish the Lifting mode on the jawline.
- Wear SPF 30 or higher every day, down to the neck. Sun is one of the main drivers of skin losing firmness.
- Take photos every two weeks in the same light and at the same angle, so you see the change over time.

Do face exercises get rid of jowls?
Face exercises work on muscle only, and they take a lot of daily time. They do nothing for the skin side of jowls. EMS in SKINFOUNDRY Halo works the facial muscles for you in a guided session, while RF works on the skin at the same time.
The verdict
To get rid of the look of sagging jowls without surgery, choose a device that works on both causes. SKINFOUNDRY Halo is the clear winner: RF for firmer-looking skin, EMS for a lifted jawline, cordless, about 25 minutes once or twice a week, Lumis treatment gel in the box and 90 days to see it for yourself, all for $395.
