You may get some appreciable tightening with a combination of Thermage and Fraxel Re:store or Fraxel Re:pair (the former has less down time but is done in several treatments a few weeks apart and the latter is done once but has more down time and some greater risks).
Laser treatment for crepey neck skin?
I am 57 yrs. old with a thin build. I don't have excess fat on my neck but do have what I refer to as 'crepey' skin in the center.
Can this skin be tightened via a laser procedure, or am I doomed to undergo some type of invasive procedure to improve the appearance? (I don't have a sagging jaw line, or jowls so am not considering a mini facelift.) Thanks!

A: Lasers are a good non-surgical alternative for skin tightening in the neck
The gold standard for tightening the skin in the face and neck is a neck lift or facelift. In these procedures the skin is elevated and the excess removed. No other procedure even comes close to tightening the skin as well as these procedures. As an alternative, you can consider a laser... more
A: Invasive vs Non-Invasive
There is a lot of research currently being done to find a way of consistently tightening the skin of the neck without having to do a Necklift but so far I think all treatments have proven inconsistent at best. We are just starting a study on a new Radio-Frequency Technique and it shows some promise but I... more
A: Crepey Neck Skin
There are many lasers like Thermage and Titan that help tighten some of the skin but the effects are minimal. The best solution would be to get Sculptra injections which can thicken the skin and make it look smoother, fuller and younger. HOWEVER, BE VERY VERY CAREFUL IN CHOSING A PHYSICIAN WHO IS COMPLETELY... more
