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.

Neck wrinkle treatment
I think the fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are great for the corners of the mouth. However, there really is nothing that I would inject into the neck. Some people were injecting Botox to help with the platysma bands. However, there were some complications with this including difficulty breathing. The best thing for wrinkles or lax skin of the neck is a neck lift. Some lasers can tighten the skin of the neck but probably by only 15-20%.

The tricky neck
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.

Neck and Facial Lines
Without a picture, I cannot really evaluate what would be best for the lines.

I recommend finding an experienced board certified plastic surgeon in your area and setting up a consult so you can get fully evaluated. “Dr. D”

Neck fillers are tricky, be careful
Hi vlyoung,
There are multiple great fillers for the lines around the sides of the mouth. The lines from the corners of the mouth to the nose are called smile lines. The technical term is called nasolabial folds (naso-nose; labial- lips). From the corners of the mouth down towards the jawline is call the marionette lines.
Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Artefill can be used in these areas.
For the neck wrinkles, there isn't a best option, since...

Best Filler For the Neck
Neck lines can be the result of many causes and the treatment needed for each is dependent on the type and cause. Horizontal neck lines are often the result of flexion and are the least responsive to any therapy. 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...

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
