The neck area can be one of the biggest giveaways of age.
Neck skin is thin and delicate, which means that the area is quick to show signs of ageing. As well as lines and creases, the main concerns relate to general sagginess and loose skin, creating a real loss of definition around the jawline. Any weight gain can stretch the skin further and add pressure to the tissues, while weight loss leaves the skin looking thin and loose.
The neck is traditionally a very difficult area to treat without surgery due to the low amount of natural collagen. However, the latest generation of injectable and high tech skin treatments have created exciting new opportunities for non-invasive neck rejuvenation.
Non-Surgical Neck Treatments
Our choice of non-surgical procedures are quick and easily tolerated. There is no lengthy recovery and risks/complications are minimal. Above all, the results appear natural, fresh and youthful with results that last up to 2 years depending on the treatment chosen.
There are 2 types of non-surgical neck rejuvenation treatments which can be chosen or combined according to each individual patient’s requirements.
‘Structural’ – Cosmetic Injections that ‘Lift’
A range of injectable treatments are available which, in skilled hands, can work to address the sagginess in the skin. This approach improves and redefines the structure of the face for a sharper profile with smoother skin. Treatment options include:
- Profhilo – a unique hyaluronic acid injectable product which was specifically designed to treat loose skin, making it ideal for lifting and toning the neck. Profhilo adds structure within the skin to support and lift the tissues for a more youthful profile
- Dermal Fillers – advanced use of hyaluronic acid injections can be very effective in rejuvenating the neck by providing more structure to lift loose neck skin
- Jawline fillers (including Radiesse) – dermal fillers placed to improve definition of the jawline will, by association, improve the appearance of the neck, lifting the tissues and smoothing the skin
- Botulinum toxin – careful placement of anti-wrinkle injections using BOTOX or Bocouture can be applied to reduce ‘neck bands’ caused by overactive muscle activity. Once the neck bands are more relaxed, the facial muscles can pull upwards, creating a more youthful and defined neck and jawline. This is sometimes referred to as the ‘Nefertiti Lift’
‘Textural’ – Treatments for Tighter and Smoother Skin
These options are designed to stimulate the skin’s own renewal processes, resulting in smoother, tighter and fresher skin. The options below trigger cell renewal and collagen production within the skin itself, which gently rejuvenates the area over the following weeks for a smoother, firmer and tighter complexion.
- Mesotherapy – use of a series of tiny injections of a special solution containing over 70 ingredients which are known to influence metabolism of hyaluronic acid and collagen. Mesotherapy boost blood flow and stimulates renewal
- Tixel – thermal fractional rejuvenation treatment uses pure heat – no chemicals or injections – to stimulate the skin through a process of miniature injuries to the skin in order to trigger its healing processes
- Resurfx – laser skin resurfacing using our latest technology. This fractional non-ablative treatment delivers laser energy right to the dermis, where it triggers collagen renewal for smoother, tighter skin
- IPL – our medical-grade intense pulsed light treatment penetrates to the skin’s deeper layers, where it warms the tissues, stimulating production of collagen and elastin as well as cell renewal
