How to tighten neck skin without surgery: What are the most effective treatments?
Non-Surgical Neck Tightening Treatments, West Malling, Kent
As we age, one of the most noticeable changes we might experience is the sagging or loosening of skin on the neck. The primary culprits are the development of crepey skin and neck wrinkles, which often go hand-in-hand. The good news is, there are various effective methods you can explore to enhance the look of your neck, particularly if you’re open to trying the latest non-invasive treatments.
Why does my neck look older than my face?
The neck tends to display signs of ageing more prominently than the face, and most of us didn’t prioritise neck care during our younger years. If we had been more diligent with our SPF and supportive creams in our younger years, we would be reaping the benefits today. However, in reality, when we begin using skincare products, we often focus primarily on the face, neglecting the area from the jawline to the breastbone, which includes the neck and décolletage. This is especially true when the products are expensive. Consequently, our necks tend to age a bit faster than our faces, and after reaching a certain age, typically around menopause, this difference becomes noticeably apparent.
What are the most effective ways to tighten neck skin without surgery?
Sofwave treatment to tighten crepey neck skin
Sofwave is an excellent way to tighten and smooth the skin of the neck non-surgically. During the treatment, ultrasound energy precisely passes through the skin’s surface, heating the mid-dermal tissue at just the correct depth of 1.5mm to rejuvenate collagen fibres. Integrated Sofcool technology protects the outer skin layer and ensures treatment at the correct depth while ensuring no damage to the underlying structures below the dermis.
The impacted treatment zones stimulate a healing response called neo-collagenesis, which increases and regenerates the collagen in the skin, reducing sagging and wrinkles. Often only a single 30-45-minute treatment is required, but other sessions may be recommended for optimal results. Sofwave treatment is minimally uncomfortable, and there is no downtime making the treatment ideal for people with busy lifestyles.
Injectable moisture treatments to tighten crepey neck skin
You wouldn’t expect a treatment that is originally about hydrating the skin from the inside to be able to tighten the skin at the same time, but injectable moisture treatments such as Profhilo, Restylane SkinBoosters, Teosyal Redensity 1 and Juvederm Volite encourage ‘bioremodelling’ of the skin. This means the skin will begin to produce more of its own collagen and elastin, and become stronger, smoother and a little tighter, too.
Radiofrequency Microneedling for a crepey, sagging neck and wrinkles
We use Profound RF which is slightly more invasive than other devices, but it provides incredibly effective tightening and lifting to the lower face and neck. It’s a unique treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency technologies for an advanced result. During the treatment, thin needles are inserted into the skin, and radiofrequency energy is used to heat the skin. The deep skin tissue is heated to precisely 67 degrees Celsius and held at this temperature for several seconds, optimally stimulating skin repair. Over the following months, this leads to tighter, firmer, and plumper skin.
