There is no standard definition of what constitutes a "laser lift"
The use of a laser such as internal (lipotherme, smartlipo, etc) or external (fractionated CO2, erbium) etc, especially with the conjuction of liposuction, is sometimes termed laser neck lift.
The term is misleading. While there are many good candidates for such procedures, others need a more traditional neck lift which is distinguished by excisions of skin, usually around the ears.
at $999 you are probably looking at a liposuction based procedure. you should have a...

Laser neck lifts are ideal for many middle aged adults
Laser neck lifts are ideal for many middle aged adults. The laser neck lift can be performed with an internal laser such as smartlipo liposculpture or with a fractional laser which acts externally to tighten the skin.

Laser Neck Lift is Smartlifting Technique
The term laser neck lift has been used to describe tissue tightening by the use of an external laser and more recently the use of an internal laser first FDA approved in 2006. Because the implementation of new technology varies from practice to practice knowlege of some of the new laser assisted procedures may be lacking. In 2008 we introducted Smartlifting to AAFPRS, ASPS and IMCAS plastic surgery conferences. This uses a fiberlaser under the skin to tighten skin and...

Neck lifts
There have been a few reported problems when doctors have done surgical neck lifts and used a carbon dioxide laser to tighten the dermis from within. Some doctors now use laser liposuction to create tightening and call it a “lift.” Make sure you see a reputable surgeon. Check with your general physician if they know of this doctor.

Fat removal by laser, or skin shrinking by laser, or combination
The laser neck lift can mean many things.
While liposuction of the neck does not usually lift the neck, when combined with skin shrinkage either below the skin by the newer laser temperature controlled "skin shrink" there will be the appearance of a lift by creating more definition along the jaw line.
Another way is to do liposuction below the skin and then do a fractional laser treatment of the neck skin such as the Mixto to again create more definition along the jaw line.

Laser neck lift could mean many things
A laser neck lift can mean a form of liposuction that has a laser attached to it that helps shrink the fat, and which can lead to more tightening of the skin. Fair results can be achieved with this technique. It can also mean using resurfacing techniques with CO2 technology that can cause tightening by creating collagen contracture in the more superficial layers of the skin.
The tightening from this can lead to even less neck tightening than the laser liposuction. Lumenis has...

NashvilleFan:
We offer both surgery and non-surgical treatments. We don't promote the non-surgical methods as "lifts," but rather reserve that term for actual surgical lifts (facelift, necklift, browlift, etc.).
When we do surgery such as liposuction of the chin / neck (submental) region, we call it liposuction. However, we realize that the results can visibly enhance the neck and jawline. Some patients feel the results seem like a lift, but no actual lifting is done. We're...

It depends on the surgeon and the surgery.
If you have sagging skin, this will not give you what you want. If someone needs just a small amount of tightening this will give minimal results. You should get another opinion from an experienced facelift surgeon.

Laser Neck lifting
It is tightening of the neck by either using a laser on the neck skin surface such as thermage or Titan. It can also be similar to liposuction where a fiber of laser is inserted under the skin and it burns fat and tightens skin. None of these are as good as the traditional neck liposuction combined with surgical necklift.
