JULÄINE™: A New Approach to Sagging Skin, Jawlines & the Lower Face
As we age, it’s often the little changes that we begin to notice first. Maybe your jawline doesn’t look quite as defined as it once did, the first signs of jowls are starting to appear, or your skin simply doesn’t feel as firm as it used to.
But rather than simply replacing what’s been lost with volume, aesthetics is beginning to look at ageing a little differently.
Regenerative aesthetics focuses on working with the skin itself, supporting its natural renewal processes and helping it adapt as the face continues to change over time [1].
This is where Juläine offers a different way of thinking about rejuvenation. So, let’s take a closer look at Juläine treatment, how it works as a collagen biostimulator and why its focus on gradual, natural-looking results fits so naturally with Dr Lauren’s philosophy of ageing well.
Why Does the Lower Face Begin to Sag?
Facial ageing is much more complex than the appearance of individual lines and wrinkles, with changes occurring across the skin, fat, ligaments and underlying bone. Collagen and elastin loss, changes in facial volume and bone structure, photoageing and tissue descent can all contribute to the changes we see through the lower face [4].
As these structures change, the once-crisp border of the jaw can begin to soften, while descending tissue can become more noticeable around the jowls [4].
This is why an effective sagging jawline treatment should begin with understanding why those changes are happening rather than simply filling the area that appears to have dropped [4].
In fact, treating jowls directly with additional volume can sometimes make the lower face appear heavier, which is why a whole-face assessment is so important.
The right approach to lower face rejuvenation may therefore involve improving skin quality, restoring structural support, stimulating collagen or combining several strategies depending on the patient [4].
Introducing JULÄINE™
JULÄINE™ vs Traditional Dermal Fillers
This is why consultation is such an important part of the process. At Dr Lauren’s Medical Aesthetic clinic, we focus on finding the right treatment for your face, rather than making your face fit a particular treatment.
Juläine can therefore form part of a wider, personalised ageing well plan, guided by your facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of ageing and what you’d ultimately like to achieve.
Supporting the Lower Face & Jawline
When we notice our jawline beginning to soften, it’s easy to assume that the jaw itself is the problem. But facial ageing doesn’t quite work like that. Skin laxity, collagen loss, changes in facial fat and reduced underlying structural support can all play a part in the loss of firmness and definition we see through the lower face [4].
This is why lower face rejuvenation often needs to look beyond the area where we can actually see the change. Collagen-stimulating treatments offer a different way of approaching certain aspects of facial ageing by focusing on skin and tissue quality, with improvements developing gradually over time [1].
For suitable patients, Juläine may therefore form part of a wider, carefully considered approach to facial rejuvenation.
That doesn’t mean, however, that Juläine is the answer to every sagging jawline, jowl or area of loose skin. Any Juläine treatment should remain within approved indications and Dr Lauren’s clinical protocols, with the right approach determined by what your face actually needs.
From Sweden to the International Stage
Juläine may have started in Sweden, but the conversation around it is quickly becoming much bigger. Developed by Swedish biotechnology company Nordberg Medical, Juläine combines its Swedish heritage with a science-led approach to regenerative aesthetics.
Its growing international recognition also reflects something we’re seeing across aesthetics more widely: increasing global interest in regenerative approaches to ageing and treatments designed to work with the body’s own processes [6].
And that conversation is beginning to reach beyond the aesthetics industry. Juläine has also been featured on the cover of the Financial Times in connection with regenerative medicine, bringing the conversation around regenerative aesthetics to a much wider audience [7].
Regenerative Aesthetics & Ageing Well
At Dr Lauren’s Medical Aesthetic clinic, when we talk about ageing well, we’re not talking about erasing every line or trying to recreate the face you had years ago. Our faces naturally change over time. Instead, it’s about understanding those changes and looking at everything from skin quality and collagen to facial volume, structure and overall balance.
This is where regenerative aesthetics comes in.
Rather than trying to change everything at once, a collagen biostimulator works by encouraging your body to produce more of its own collagen, allowing improvements to develop gradually over time [1].
It’s an approach that fits naturally with Dr Lauren’s ageing well philosophy of supporting your face as it changes while keeping the features that make it recognisably yours.
But that doesn’t mean one treatment has to do everything. Depending on what your face and skin actually need, Juläine treatment may sit alongside medical-grade skincare, anti-wrinkle injections or carefully placed dermal fillers as part of a wider, personalised approach to facial and lower face rejuvenation [1].
Could JULÄINE™ Be Right for You?
When we notice our jawline becoming softer or the first signs of jowls appearing, it’s tempting to start looking for the one treatment that will fix it. But when it comes to facial ageing, there’s rarely a one-size-fits-all solution.
This is why a Juläine treatment won’t necessarily be right for everyone, and why it all starts with a medical consultation and detailed facial assessment.
Before considering Juläine, Dr Lauren will look at your medical history, facial anatomy, skin quality, pattern and degree of ageing, as well as what you’d realistically like to achieve. Because even if two patients are searching for the same sagging jawline treatment, what their faces actually need may be very different.
For some patients, the focus might be on improving skin quality, while for others, changes in structural support or facial volume may need to be considered. Juläine may form part of that wider plan, or another approach such as dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle treatment or skin health treatments may be more appropriate [1].
You might start to notice that your jawline isn’t quite as defined as it once was, your lower face looks a little softer, or your skin simply doesn’t feel as firm anymore.
But while it can be tempting to immediately start searching for a treatment, the first step is understanding what your face actually needs.
This is where a personalised consultation can make all the difference. Book your free consultation with Dr Lauren to explore Juläine in Hamilton and talk through your concerns and what you’d realistically like to achieve.

We all have the best intentions when it comes to our skincare, but summer has a funny way of throwing even the best routines off track. Between holidays, long days out, late nights and plenty of time in the sunshine, our usual skincare habits can easily take a back seat.
