Get Rid of Neck Wrinkles

Vlyoung, It depends on the depth of the fold and wrinkle in the neck but traditionally neck wrinkles are tough to treat as they are created from the dynamic function of a muscle called the platysma which enwraps the superficial structures of your neck and face. Botox has been shown to be marginally effective in treatment to soften the folds but may require a high unit volume. In my experience, if you had a specific area of concern, i.e. a neck scar, filler may be beneficial but if there... more

Most neck creases are fine and the Restylane or Juvederm can create bruising or unsightly lumps in this location if it is not administered in small amounts and carefully. Human collagen can be used (Cosmoderm) for this as well.

Vertical neck lines can be from excess skin, intimate relationship between the platysma muscle and the skin,  strong platysmal bands, sun damage, etc.  Choose a treatment based on the cause of the lines.   In regards to fillers, the neck skin is thin and... more

Hello. Correction of lines around the mouth will depend on the degree of aging. in young individuals with good skin and isolated lines aroun the mouth Restylane is the filler of choice. As for the neck, fillers will not work, Neck Lift remains the only logical answer
