Jowls Treatment St. Petersburg

Jowls develop when skin and tissue along the jawline lose elasticity and start to sag. Cryo Face Sculpting at KRIDO Wellness uses gentle cold therapy to lift and firm the jawline without needles or downtime.

Tighten Your Jawline Without Surgery

Jowls form when the skin and underlying tissue along your jawline lose elasticity and start to sag. This creates a drooping or soft appearance below the jawline. Many people notice jowls as they age, but genetics, sun exposure and facial structure also play a role.

You have several options. Surgical facelifts and neck lifts reshape the lower face by removing excess skin and tightening muscle. These are medical procedures that require anesthesia, downtime and consultation with a surgeon. Injectables like dermal fillers can add volume to the cheeks or jaw, which may lift the appearance of jowls temporarily, though you will need to talk to a medical provider about those options.

Cryo Face Sculpting is a non-invasive treatment that applies controlled cold to the face and neck. It increases circulation, and research suggests it may support collagen production and reduce fluid retention. The result is a lifted, more sculpted appearance without surgery or needles.

How Cryo Face Sculpting Works for Jowls

Cryo Face Sculpting targets the skin along your jawline and neck with gentle cold stimulation. The cold increases blood flow and supports lymphatic drainage. Research suggests cold therapy combined with red light may support collagen production over time. Many clients notice a tightening and smoothing effect in the treated area.

At KRIDO Wellness in downtown St. Petersburg, each session lasts about an hour. Your esthetician applies the cryo treatment to your face, jawline and neck. Then you receive red light therapy. Small studies suggest red light may support collagen production and skin texture. The session ends with manual lymphatic drainage massage to help your body clear fluid and reduce puffiness.

You feel alternating warmth and cold during the treatment. Most clients find it comfortable and relaxing. There is no downtime. You can return to your day right after.

What a Visit Looks Like

You start with a consultation. Your esthetician looks at your face, asks about your goals and explains what to expect. The consultation is included when you book your first face sculpting session.

During the session, you lie back while your esthetician works on your jawline and neck. After the cryo treatment, red light therapy panels expose the treated area to wavelengths. Small studies suggest red light may support collagen production. Then your esthetician performs a lymphatic drainage massage to move fluid and support the results.

Many clients notice a lifted, brighter appearance after the first session. Results build over a series of treatments, as collagen production continues and skin tightens further. Each of our estheticians has 30 years of esthetics experience.

How Many Sessions You Need

You may see a glow and reduced puffiness right away. Many clients see more visible changes after several sessions. The number of sessions depends on your skin, your goals and how your tissue responds. Your esthetician will talk through a plan at your consultation.

A single session starts at $245. You can also book a 5-session or 10-session package for face sculpting. Every session includes cryo, red light therapy and lymphatic drainage.

I just had the sculpting facial at KRIDO Wellness in St. Pete and I am absolutely blown away. My skin walked out looking tighter, lifted, and genuinely glowing. The results were noticeable after just ONE session, which I honestly was not expecting. Katie, Google review

I’ve tried everything over the years to deal with facial puffiness and inflammation: gua sha, ice rollers, ice water, expensive serums. Some of it helped for a minute, but nothing lasted until I did the 5-pack of Cryo Face Sculpting at Krido Wellness. It’s genuinely the first thing that’s made a real difference. My face looks less puffy and more sculpted, and my confidence has followed right along with it. Toscana Tornillo, Google review
