“If I could turn back the hands of time”, the famous line from Tyrone Davis’s 1968 hit song, seems fitting for anyone who is frustrated with the look of the skin of their aging neck. The skin of the neck as it ages is often referred to as “turkey neck.” It is an annoying giveaway of one’s age. With the increase in use of mobile devices and hours spent in front of computers, there is now even a term known as “tech neck.c”
The skin can appear crepey, not to be confused with creepy, though it can feel that way to any of us that have it. Droopy jowls sometimes give the appearance and illusion of a double chin. And the deep lines circling the neck referred to as “necklace lines” are NOT the “necklaces” on anybody’s wish list!
How to get rid of neck lines
If you are experiencing the signs of an aging neck, don’t despair. There are a handful of excellent anti-aging treatments that you can choose from to begin to “turn back the hands of time” and improve the look of sagging skin on your neck, and to improve neck lines.
Many people don’t realize that skincare routines for the neck and décolleté are equally as important as the skincare routine for your face. The neck is often neglected as part of regular skincare treatment. So, if you are “babying” your face, then “baby” the skin of your neck. Lines on the neck are normal as we age, as are the fine lines and wrinkles on the face. So for starters, in order to reverse and minimize the signs of sagging skin and aging on your neck, incorporate an anti-aging regimen. Use superior cleansing products, moisturizing serums and always ALWAYS use sunscreen on the skin of your neck and décolleté.
If you are a smoker, consider quitting. Smoking increases the aging of our skin. Also consider the “menu” of nonsurgical cosmetic anti-aging treatments available. These treatments can improve the appearance of saggy, crepey or wrinkled neck skin.
What anti-aging treatments are available for the neck?
Some common and popular options to prevent neck wrinkles, as well as treat obvious neck lines that have already appeared, include:
- Broadband Light (BBL) Therapy
- SkinMedica Neck Correct Cream
- Ultherapy
Broadband Light (BBL) Therapy
Broadband Light Therapy, or BBL, is a nonsurgical cosmetic treatment that uses a specific light energy to minimize the appearance of everything from wrinkles to sun damage. It is a great solution for concerns about the skin on the neck and to prevent and minimize neck wrinkles and neck lines.
The skin is firmed and smoothed by this treatment that sends concentrated bursts of a safe and intense light into the treatment area. It is a perfect treatment to firm and improve the laxity of the skin of the neck. The specific and controlled light pulses of BBL gently heat the skin’s top layer and stimulate the skin’s production of collagen. Our skin loses collagen as we age, leading to lines and wrinkles. Typically, one to two treatments are necessary to get the results you want. By combining Broadband Light Therapy with other non surgical and complementary treatments, you will achieve faster results.
The best part of non surgical treatments like BBL is that there is very little downtime. A personalized consultation with a DermaTouch RN specialist will help you determine if BBL can be a part of your beauty plan to “turn back time.”
SkinMedica Neck Correct Cream
There are some interesting facts about the way the skin of our necks tend to age. While our individual genetics are certainly a factor, did you know that the skin of your neck is as thin as the skin of your eyelids? This very delicate skin needs special TLC (tender loving care). Did you know that, typically, the wrinkles that appear on our necks are nearly five times as deep as those that appear on our face. This is particularly true compared to wrinkles on our cheeks. And so, there’s another compelling reason for additional “love” for the skin of our neck!
And lastly, did you know that neck skin sags over time more than any other part of the body? Well, not to worry because there is a state-of-the-art SkinMedica product that is the very best cream for neck wrinkles. SkinMedica’s Neck Correct Cream provides that much needed TLC for your neck to offset the signs of aging, sagging and wrinkled skin.
Neck Correct Cream is available at DermaTouch RN in Houston and in San Antonio. This phenomenal product is a multitasking skin care dream for the skin of your neck. It is hands down the best cream for neck wrinkles. It smoothes and firms, tightens crepey skin, and reduces the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles. It reduces sagging and even prevents additional sagging from occurring. Skin tone is corrected and “evened-out” with this clinically tested and powerful serum specifically designed to target neck aging issues.
Ultherapy
In addition to BroadBand Light Therapy, another viable and FDA cleared treatment to improve the visible signs of an aging neck and sagging skin is Ultherapy. With a 90% patient satisfaction rating in clinical studies, Ultherapy treatment uses ultrasound energy to penetrate to the skin’s foundational level without surgery; a complementary non-invasive cosmetic and aesthetic skin care treatment. Collagen production is stimulated by the “deep” ultrasound waves, the surface layer of the skin is not disturbed, and the result is firmer improved skin. Wrinkles and sagging continue to improve over time after this treatment.
