Why Don’t You Have a Defined Facial Line? How to Clean It Up, and KADOMORI’s Treatments

A beautiful, well-defined facial line is something everyone longs for.

When your facial line is undefined or blurry, it can somehow chip away at your confidence.

But by being mindful of a few points in daily life, it’s possible to achieve a cleaner-looking facial line.

This article details the causes of a blurred facial line, how to clean it up, and KADOMORI’s recommended treatments.

Is There a Connection Between the Facial Line and Bone Structure?

The shape of the facial line is greatly influenced by the bone structure.

The size and shape of the lower jaw, and the height of the cheekbones, are key points that determine the facial line.

While bone structure is largely innate, posture and how you use your expression muscles can also change the impression of your facial line.

Here we introduce the bone-structure traits that affect the facial line.

A Small Lower Jaw

A small lower jaw can greatly affect the facial line.

For example, a small jaw can make the whole face look round or give the facial line a blurred impression.

If the jaw is receding, the profile balance can also break down more easily, sometimes making the mouth area look forward of the E-line (the line connecting the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin).

While jaw size is largely influenced by bone structure, its appearance can be improved through posture and how you use your chewing force.

Poor Tooth Alignment

Poor tooth alignment is also said to affect the facial line.

With teeth properly aligned, your bite stabilizes and overall facial balance is more easily maintained. But with poor alignment, your bite becomes disordered, and facial muscles can be used unevenly on one side.

As a result, the facial line can look asymmetrical, or the jaw’s position can shift, blurring the facial line.

Correcting tooth alignment through orthodontic treatment often improves the bite and cleans up the facial line.

What Causes a Blurred Facial Line?

Various factors relate to a blurred facial line.

Mainly, how fat accumulates, puffiness, changes from aging, and infrequent chewing.

Each of these can be improved by reviewing them one at a time. Let’s look at the specific causes in detail below.

Fat Throughout the Face

When fat accumulates throughout the face, the facial line can look blurred.

In particular, fat around the cheeks and jaw can erase a sharp line, making the whole face look larger.

This kind of fat accumulation can be influenced by diet, lack of exercise, and constitution.

However, trying to lose fat too rapidly can bring other concerns like sagging skin, so avoid extreme dieting.

Maintaining moderate exercise and a nutritionally balanced diet helps tighten your overall facial impression.

Puffiness

Puffiness is also one cause of a blurred facial line.

You may notice your face feeling swollen upon waking, or after eating too much salt.

Puffiness tends to occur when the body’s fluid balance breaks down, and poor lymph flow is one contributing factor.

If puffiness concerns you, cutting back on salt and drinking plenty of water is recommended.

Facial massage or promoting circulation with a warm towel can also help reduce puffiness and clean up your facial line.

Aging

Changes from aging are also a major factor behind a blurred facial line.

With age, collagen and elastin — which maintain skin firmness — decrease, making the skin more prone to sagging.

Declining muscle strength also affects the facial line.

As the cheek and jaw muscles weaken, the whole face is pulled downward, giving a blurred impression to the contour.

To prevent these changes, training the expression muscles and continuing moisturizing skin care are important.

Infrequent Chewing

A lifestyle with infrequent chewing is also one cause of a blurred facial line.

If you rarely chew hard foods, the muscles around the jaw aren’t used enough, and muscle strength declines.

As a result, the whole face loses its tightness, and the facial line can look saggy.

Being mindful of chewing thoroughly at meals can train the jaw muscles, and a tightening effect for the whole face can be expected.

Chewing gum, or actively incorporating firmer vegetables and fruits, is recommended.

How Can You Clean Up Your Facial Line?

Several methods can clean up your facial line.

We recommend training the muscles around your face through exercises and stretches, chewing thoroughly during meals, and maintaining good posture.

None of these are difficult, so do try being mindful of them in your daily life.

Exercises and Stretches

To refine your facial line, exercises and stretches that consciously move the muscles around your face are recommended.

For example, simply repeating the motion of opening your mouth wide and voicing “ah, ee, oo, eh, oh” can stimulate the cheek and jaw muscles.

Neck and shoulder stretches matter too. As tension in the neck relaxes, blood and lymph flow improve, bringing your whole face closer to a cleaner impression.

Continuing even just a few minutes daily can lead to improvement in your facial line.

Doing it while looking in a mirror makes results easier to feel, and can help you keep it up enjoyably.

Chew Thoroughly

Chewing thoroughly during meals is also a recommended method for cleaning up your facial line.

Chewing food finely trains the muscles around the jaw, said to make it easier to create a tighter impression.

Increasing your number of chews also makes it easier to feel full, helping prevent overeating.

Actively incorporating harder foods is also recommended. For example, incorporating vegetables, fruits, and nuts that require more chewing is a good idea.

Chew well and enjoy your meals as you aim for a beautiful facial line.

Be Mindful of Good Posture

Good or poor posture greatly affects your facial line.

Continued hunching or a forward-leaning posture makes excess fat and puffiness more likely around the neck and jaw, which can blur the facial line.

On the other hand, being mindful of standing straight and tucking in your chin lets the muscles around your neck be used correctly, giving your whole face a cleaner impression.

Maintaining correct posture also improves blood and lymph flow, helping prevent puffiness.

When using your smartphone too, try being mindful of tucking your chin and standing straight.

For Facial-Line Improvement, KADOMORI’s Treatments Are Recommended!

If you want to improve your facial line quickly, leave it to KADOMORI.

We offer several treatments, so aim for a beautiful facial line with the treatment that suits you.

Here we introduce two recommended treatments.

Face-Sculpting Facial ＜Radio-Frequency＞

The Face-Sculpting Facial ＜Radio-Frequency＞ is a highly relaxing treatment using a high-frequency thermal device.

Warmth of about 42°C gently loosens the stiffened muscles around the face, promoting circulation.

This warming “heat-tightening effect” not only aids lifting, a smaller face, and fat burning, but also supports the skin’s collagen production.

As firmness returns to the skin, your facial line comes closer to a more tightened impression.

The pleasant warmth that lets you relax during treatment is also part of its appeal.

Face-Slimming Lift Photo

Face-Slimming Lift Photo is a treatment combining a special light — “IPL” — with high-frequency heat — “RF radio-frequency.”

This synergy promotes the production of high-quality collagen deep within the skin, restoring the skin’s elasticity.

It’s effective for improving sagging and enlarged pores. After treatment, the whole face tightens and the facial line comes cleanly into shape, while skin translucence also improves.

IPL also causes little damage to the skin, so even those with sensitive skin can receive it with peace of mind.

Recommended for those who want to feel a smaller-face effect while conditioning their skin.
