Anti-Aging Neck Solutions

The neck is one of the biggest age giveaways, yet many of us are guilty of neglecting it. From below the chin to the decolletage, the passing years bring loss of muscle, sun damage, and the effects of gravity, all of which combine to equal visible aging.

But, thankfully, there are solutions to help. The following looks at both non-invasive and invasive options…

Anti-aging neck solutions #1: change your habits

Many 21st-century habits can have a detrimental effect on the neck. By far the most important message to drill home here is this: 

Use. Sun. Screen… Every day, applied liberally, especially if you live in sunny climes.

How many of us religiously apply protection to our face, stopping at the chin or just below? (hint—it’s a lot!). No matter what your age, it’s never too early—or late—to commit to the neck-sunscreen habit.

Secondly, try to reduce the number of times you use your cell phone. Even the best of these emit radiation—a key element of skin damage. In addition, the constant bending and straightening of the neck as we look at our phones also accelerates skin aging, helping cause the dreaded “tech neck” that dermatologists are very familiar with.

Anti-aging neck solutions #2: laser skin tightening and injectables

These non or minimally invasive treatments can provide remarkable results. The former can considerably tighten loose neck skin with a few sessions and, when carried out correctly, can bring results that last years.

Injectables, such as Dysport and Botox, are successfully used to reduce the appearance of neck lines. While they don’t last as long as laser tightening, they bring instant results that last for 3-4 months or more.

Anti-aging neck solutions #2: cosmetic surgery

A talented cosmetic surgeon can work wonders, even on the worst of aging necks. The main options are a neck/facelift or a fat transfer. Being as one of the biggest culprits of a turkey neck is loss of fat in this area, it’s easy to understand why this is an excellent way to reverse aging in the neck area.

The key to cosmetic surgery is to partner with an experienced surgeon with proven results. Rather than thinking of them as a clinician (which, of course, they are), cosmetic surgeons are almost akin to artists. Your body is their canvas and it’s the talented application of their skills that bring results. 

A great plastic surgeon will discuss what it is you expect from a procedure, offering you a bespoke treatment plan to get you to where you want to be. He or she will also manage your expectations: while extraordinary results are possible, nothing in this world can return your visage and neck to the vibrancies of extreme youth. 

Most practitioners will suggest a combination of treatments to achieve the best results. This will be determined after a detailed consultation and advising the best options for your unique skin and body type.
