I get many inquires about the best way to improve the skin on the neck as it starts to sag and wrinkle with age. I have out lined common solutions available through Face It Smooth Aesthetics. Treating a sagging neck, often called "turkey neck," depends on whether you are looking for preventative care, non-invasive tightening, or a more permanent surgical fix.
Non-Surgical Procedures
These treatments are ideal for mild to moderate laxity with minimal downtime.
Radiofrequency (RF) & Microneedling: Pelleve RF employs energy to firm the dermis and enhance texture, while microneedling stimulates collagen production by healing minor skin fractures. A series of 3 or more sessions is needed for best results, followed by one or two maintenance sessions.
Injectables:
Botox/ Xeomin : Relaxes vertical "platysmal bands" to smooth the neck's appearance and reduce the pull on the "jowls"
PRP/PRF: Platelet-rich plasma or fibrin, derived from your blood, can be utilized to reinforce the underlying neck tissue. It can be applied through microneedling or a cannula into the skin to promote collagen and fibrin formation.
At-Home Care & Prevention
Topicals can improve "crepey" texture and maintain results.
Retinoids: Products containing retinol to help thicken the skin by boosting collagen. "IMAGE" skin care line offers a variety of strengths, starting at 0.1% and advancing to 1.2% over time.
Specialized Creams: Look for ingredients like peptides, antioxidants, and N-acetyl glucosamine.

Sun Protection:
Applying SPF between 30% and 75% daily is essential to prevent further degradation of elastin and collagen. Face It Smooth advises sun enthusiasts to opt for spray tans instead of using tanning beds or direct sun exposure to achieve a sun-kissed glow, thereby avoiding harmful sun rays.
