How to Tighten Crepey Skin in the Neck?

Loose skin on the neck can be a challenge to rejuvenate, but some people do respond well to thermage or titan, which are external energy based tightening devices. Often a neck lift is required to give sufficient improvement, and this can be combined with external tightening devices. I have seen patients who have consulted me for scarring produced by various fraxel laser treatments, so it is wise to be cautious about this approach to neck rejuvenation.

Both of the non-invasive treatments you describe will leave you unhappy with the very minimal result they provide, if any change occurs at all. What you need to do is visit an excellent plastic surgeon and be evaluated for a neck lift. This will remove fat, tighten the muscles and either the extra skin will be allowed to shrink or it will be removed. You will wind up with a restored youthful angular neck line.

Hi. Men tend to be specifically bothered by their neck (not their face). Unfortunately, in my rather long experience, non invasive procedures are not effective in the neck. This is specially true in men, who have thicker skin. Thermage can be good for the jawline, but not the neck. Of course, I haven't examined you, and I might tell you to leave things alone for a while. Or you might be a good candidate for an isolated neck lift, which we do much more frequently in men than in women.... more

Without a picture is hard to give specific advice for your situation. However, depending on the severity of laxity in your neck, you may need anything from laser to a neck lift. You can have external laser such as Fraxel or internal laser such as Smartlipo or Acculift. If you need surgery, a neck lift would involve an incision behind your ears and a small one under your chin. I hope this is helpful.
