Aging related changes in the neck usually manifest as increased looseness of the skin, increased lines in the neck area as well as visible vertical bands in the neck area.
Benefits of Neck Rejuvenation
Neck rejuvenation procedures can help improve the overall appearance of the neck area, resulting in a more youthful and smooth look. The following are some potential benefits of neck rejuvenation:
- Tightening loose skin: As we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity and starts to sag. Neck rejuvenation procedures can help tighten and lift the skin in the neck area, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Smoothing out neck bands: Vertical bands on the neck, also known as platysmal bands, can be caused by weakened muscles or excess fat. Neck rejuvenation procedures can target these bands and create a smoother, more defined neckline.
- Reducing excess fat: Accumulation of fat under the chin is a common problem that can make the neck appear fuller and heavier. Neck rejuvenation procedures such as liposuction can help remove excess fat and contour the neck for a slimmer appearance.
- Improving skin texture: In addition to tightening loose skin, neck rejuvenation procedures can also improve the overall texture of the skin in the neck area. This can result in smoother, softer skin with a more even tone.
- Boosting self-confidence: Many people feel self-conscious about their neck area, especially if it shows obvious signs of aging. By addressing these concerns through neck rejuvenation, individuals can feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
What causes Neck Ageing?
Signs of ageing usually manifest in the neck, with noticeable effects such as increased looseness of the skin, increased lines as well as visible vertical bands in the neck area.
Causes of neck changes:
- Loss of collagen and elastin in the neck skin
- Loss and displacement of fat under the skin
- Tightening of the platysmal muscle bands in the neck
Neck Rejuvenation Treatments
Combination Lasers
Utilising a combination of Fotona laser technologies, we can achieve tightening of the neck and decolletage skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This will lead to reduction of neck lines and loose skin.
HIFU
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound can also be used to stimulate collagen and elastin formation and skin tightening around the neck.
Skinboosters
Skinboosters can be used to rejuvenate and improve the skin texture of the neck, reducing visible fine lines.
Botox
Botox can be used to target platysmal bands which are vertical muscular bands that develop with age in the neck. Botox relaxes the muscles and removes the appearance of the vertical banding.
Fillers
Injectable hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to restore support to the neck skin as well as target stubborn necklace lines in the neck.
Microneedling RF
Microneedling RF combines the mechanical effect of microneedling with the thermal effects of radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and skin tightening. This leads to improvement in fine lines and neck skin elasticity.

FAQs
HIFU usually targets depths of 3.0 and 4.5 mm. It targets the SMAS and deeper connective tissue to generate a lifting effect. However, in order to produce more visible results in the neck area, it is also important to address the collagen levels in more superficial layers of the skin. This can be done with laser treatments.
Laser and HIFU treatments usually do not cause downtime. However, in certain situations the Doctor may elect to use special laser settings to produce better results. Some of these settings can cause redness and scabbing. It is important to note that the neck takes longer to heal than the face and downtime may take 7-10 days to resolve.
It is important to treat both the face and the neck holistically as they are both exposed, visible areas. Furthermore, if you were to treat your face alone and there is a large disparity in skin quality between the face and the neck, it would look inappropriate to others as well as in photos.
