Your neckline may reveal signs of aging faster than your face. This is because the skin around your neck is thinner, therefore, more delicate and sensitive to harmful elements like sunlight, wrinkle-causing positions (like looking down at your smartphone constantly) and photosensitization from perfumes.
Why is Neck Skin More Delicate?
Neck skin contains less collagen than facial skin. It also stretches more easily, but loses elasticity and strength with age. These variables contribute to the saggy neck appearance, creases, wrinkles, uneven texture and skin tone.
Can You Treat Neck Skin That is in the Beginning Stages of Sagging?
You may have noticed your neck skin loosening while your face still looks great without a wrinkle in sight. The change may be minor, so you do not have enough sagging neck skin to tighten the area with a neck lift. That does not mean you have to live with a neck that makes you uncomfortable. A milder, non-surgical treatment exists.
Neck skin tightening is an option at The K Spa for those who wish to rejuvenate their neck and jawline but do not have enough sagging skin for a neck lift. The treatment provides two collagen-inducing techniques simultaneously to tighten the neck skin and revive your youthful appearance.
Neck skin tightening treatment involves a handheld microneedling device that delivers radio frequency energy. This two-in-one technology creates tiny wounds to promote the body’s natural healing process while delivering heat energy to boost the response. As a result, your skin produces more collagen and elastin and releases more hyaluronic acid—all essential to skin elasticity.
Results show up slowly over time. You will notice the first changes about two weeks after treatment, and your skin’s texture will keep improving over the next few months.
How Can You Prevent Neck Skin Sagging?
Your neck’s appearance is mainly predetermined by your genes. Still, you can prolong sagging for as long as possible with consistent skin care using quality products, a healthy lifestyle and skin tightening treatments. Once you reach an age where these treatments are no longer effective, Dr. Benjamin Stong can perform a surgical neck lift.
