The neck, often overlooked in skincare routines, is a telltale sign of aging. As we age, the skin on our necks loses elasticity. Unfortunately, this leads to sagging, wrinkles, and a crepey appearance. Genetics and lifestyle factors play a role. However, there are effective treatments available to tighten and rejuvenate skin to fight neck aging.
Dr. Yousefi, a renowned cosmetic surgeon with over 20 years of experience, offers a range of neck-tightening treatments tailored to individual needs and preferences. Here, she shares insights into the best neck-tightening treatments. Additionally, we will how to choose the right option for you.
Understanding the Causes of Neck Aging
The skin on our necks is thinner and more delicate than the skin on our faces. Therefore, it is more susceptible to aging. So, several factors contribute to neck aging, including:
- Sun exposure: UV rays damage collagen and elastin. These are the proteins that give skin its structure and elasticity.
- Smoking: Also, smoking reduces blood flow to the skin. Consequently, this deprives it of essential nutrients and accelerates the aging process.
- Age-related changes: Additionally, as we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin. This results in sagging skin.
- Gravity: Over time, gravity pulls the skin down. This also contributes to loose neck skin.
So, What Are The Best Neck Tightening Treatments?
Depending on the severity of neck aging, Dr. Yousefi may recommend one or more of the following treatments:
Injectable Treatments
- Botulinum toxin: Commonly known as Botox, botulinum toxin relaxes overactive neck muscles. Consequently, this reduces the appearance of horizontal neck wrinkles (platysmal bands).
- Fillers: Injectable fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, can plump up sunken areas and smooth out wrinkles.
Energy-Based Devices
- Thermage: Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of skin. This stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin.
- Ultraformer: Ultraformer uses ultrasound energy to target specific layers of skin, providing a non-invasive lifting and tightening effect.
Surgical Treatments
- Neck lift: A neck lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens underlying muscles. This provides a dramatic improvement in neck contour.
