Neck Treatments to Firm, Lift and Tighten

Numerous neck treatment options exist to firm up, lift the skin, and tighten the neck area to reduce wrinkling and sagging. You’ll work with the skilled team at Look Younger to determine the best treatment based on your personal goals.

Neck Treatment Types

From ultrasound treatments to laser resurfacing to injections to surgery, there are many options to choose from to reverse signs of aging around the neck. Less invasive treatments for the neck have quick recovery times but are usually temporary and require maintenance. More permanent solutions include surgery, which is a more involved procedure with additional costs. However, results are generally more dramatic and last longer.

Neck Lift

If you’re looking at a neck lift in Dallas, you’ll want to know what to expect for the procedure and recovery as well as the results. A neck lift is often performed as part of a facelift to ensure a cohesive appearance. The surgeon will reposition muscles and tissue that have been weakened and tighten the skin. They may also remove excess fat and skin for smoother results.

Ultherapy for Neck

Ultherapy is a high-intensity ultrasound that is focused on a specific area. The ultrasound works deeper below the surface of the skin to increase collagen production. It also lifts and tightens the skin on the neck. Ultherapy in Dallas can help you feel and look years younger.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical procedure that gets rid of dark spots and helps reduce crepey skin and fine lines. A laser stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to enhance younger-looking, tighter skin. This procedure can be performed on a regular basis to help prevent the loss of elasticity in the neck area.

Neuromodulator Injections

Neuromodulator injections include BOTOX® and other products. These injections are designed to soften the tight muscle bands around the neck for a smoother appearance. The treatment will need to be repeated about twice a year to maintain the results.

Radiofrequency Neck Tightening

Radiofrequency neck tightening helps to lift and smooth skin in the neck area by stimulating collagen production. This procedure requires only local anesthesia and can be done on an outpatient basis. Because the treatment requires an incision and a special tool is inserted under the skin, stimulation takes place at a deeper level than with topical products. Results will become apparent gradually with this process.

Neck Liposuction

Neck liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and tissue for a more sculpted look. Many women are at their ideal weight but carry extra roundness in the chin and jawline. Liposuction in Texas can help to create more definitions in this area. You may need an additional procedure to tighten the skin in the neck after liposuction.

Dermal Filler

Using dermal fillers on the neck is a minimally invasive treatment that provides temporary results. Usually, a product like Juvederm® is injected into areas under the chin to make it more defined. Fillers may be used with liposuction to remove extra fat and create a more balanced appearance.

Neck Skin Treatment FAQ

How do I get rid of crepey skin on my neck?

The best way to get rid of crepey skin on your neck will depend on what caused it and your type of skin. Some options include Ultherapy, dermal fillers, and a topical retinoid.

Can coconut oil tighten neck skin?

Coconut oil is an antioxidant that can help get rid of free radicals that cause damage to the skin. The oil also provides hydration and moisturizes the skin to prevent sagginess. It’s best to consult with an expert like Dr. Lapuerta to get neck treatment recommendations that work best for your body and your goals.

What vitamins help sagging skin?

Vitamin A helps to prevent sun damage and is an antioxidant to protect your skin. Vitamin C helps promote the production of collagen while protecting your skin from free radicals. Vitamin E is an anti-inflammatory vitamin, which can prevent damage to the skin by strengthening cell walls. Zinc helps skin to heal when it has suffered an injury. It also protects the skin from UV damage.

Does honey tighten skin?

Honey is another antioxidant that helps to remove toxins that build up in your skin. When combined with an egg, it can help to build new cells and improve the elasticity of the skin.

Which cream is best for skin tightening?

Creams that contain collagen boosters and ingredients that increase the production of elastin will help improve the tightness of your skin. Products with retinol and hyaluronic acid can also reduce wrinkles and make your skin feel firmer and smoother.
