Tighten neck skin without surgery

When we think of the signs of aging, we mainly think of the signs that will be visible on our face. However, this area is not the only one to betray the passing years: the neck can also bear witness to it. And the loss of firmness concerning it can begin as early as the age of 40.

As with facial expressions, there are less invasive solutions than surgery to counteract sagging neck muscles.

Prevent sagging skin on the neck and décolleté

Besides natural aging, UV exposure, sun exposure, and genetics also contribute to the appearance of vertical lines on the décolleté and horizontal lines around the neck. Another culprit is repetitive movement. With the overuse of smartphones, experts have identified “text neck wrinkles.” As the name suggests, this is a deep crease that forms where the neck folds due to constantly bending the head toward a phone.

In addition to paying attention to these postures that will accelerate aging, but can also cause you pain and muscle tension, you can prevent the aging of the skin on your neck by massaging it, applying moisturizer, and this, from the arrival of your thirties.

Other habits incorporated into your skincare routine can also be very beneficial. Cleansing your skin thoroughly morning and evening, exfoliating once or twice a week, and moisturizing are very simple actions to adopt. In addition, they provide benefits that are not limited to the neck.

Taking care of yourself through a healthy diet, an active lifestyle and sun protection are also beneficial lifestyle habits to keep our skin smooth and firm.

Tighten neck skin without surgery: the solutions

Despite our efforts and good habits, skin aging is inevitable. Tightening the skin on the neck means revitalizing tissues that are under a lot of strain. To reduce the appearance of aging on the neck and décolleté, you need to treat both types of wrinkles – horizontal and vertical – but also:

• Moisturize and beautify skin tissue.
• Reduce the wrinkled appearance.
• Remedy excess skin.

To do this, here are the main non-surgical procedures that are available to tighten the skin of the neck in the aesthetic sector:

1. The fractional (Venus Viva, Fractora, Morpheus) and non-fractional radiofrequency (Venus Legacy). By creating controlled damage, the skin regenerates and tightens with the increase in collagen and elastic fibers (elastin) production as it heals. With or without convalescence depending on your preference and skin type. Cost: between $550 and $2000
2. The botulinum toxin or Botox. Also in the form of injections, this toxin reduces the appearance of the vertical bands of the Platysma muscle in the neck. And as a bonus? The appearance of the “jowls” is significantly reduced. We are talking about approximately 3 to 6 months for the duration of the results. Cost: $400.
3. The micro-needling (mesotherapy) which again, is performed in the form of micro-injections including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and hyaluronic acid. In addition to improving the elasticity of this area, it restores its vascularization, and increases its skin thickness. Cost: from $550 per treatment on average.
4. The laser which in addition to smoothing wrinkles, increases deep skin firming. Cost: $750 per session for the neck.

What do all these treatments have in common? No convalescence is required for most of them (or rather short between 2 and 7 days) and the side effects are minimal such as: redness, edema and exfoliation of the skin.
