I’m a 35yr old healthy non-smoker, 5’6 & 150lbs - so a healthy BMI. But over the past year i’ve developed a vertical line of loose skin on my neck. I’ve had a nefertiti botox lift but that made no difference at all. It’d be great to hear some opinions on how to go about eradicating or softening it.
Answer: Help soften harsh lines and wrinkles by doing morpheus8 treatments Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Skin Tightening -- VASER Lipo, ThermiRF, J Plasma, Thermage, Ultherapy, PDO Novathreads and Instalift, Renuvion, Inmode BodyTite Thank you for your question. As we age the skin sags there is nothing you can do that but try preventative treatments or get a neck/facelift earlier in the aging process. There are numerous options and some can be used in combination to get best outcomes but you need a consultation with an expert. Options include for skin tightening : 1. thermage radio frequency to heat skin and tighten it over time and prevent the aging process2. ultherapy high intensity ultrasound to contract muscle and tighten the face and neck and prevent the aging process3. PDO nova threads or instalift threads for immediate lifting without surgery and long term collagen production4. sculptra injections for collagen production to areas of the face and neck with crepe skin or early sagging5. btl exilis ultra, venus legacy, and thermi250 for constant collagen stimulation monthly with facialsfacelift/necklift with fat grafting/fillers if you need a big improvement5. ThermiRF or J plasma or Inmode bodytite internal heating and tightening to long term internal heating and tightening with or without surgery6. Platysmaplasty to tighten the muscles of the neck long term and create contour7. Facial implants or fillers to contour the jawline and chin to improve the appearance of the neckBest, Dr. Emer

Answer: Treatment of vertical neck lines? Although you had a Nefertiti neck lift I still think injection Botox directly into the bands is worth trying.

Answer: Treating the neck non-surgically Thank you for your question. It is well documented how challenging the neck area can be to treat, but the good news is that there are a range of options available for you to try. The treatment I would particularly recommend you investigate is Silhouette Soft, a non-surgical skin lift, which can lift sagging neck skin (and lower face). The results are instant, however they continue to improve over the coming 3 months as the treatment also stimulates the body’s own collagen production, improving the lift still further and improving the quality of the skin. I often use Silhouette Soft in partnership with Botox in the neck area, and I would suggest it would certainly enhance the treatment you have already had. Once the threads have settled you could have a Endymed 3Deep radiofrequency which can maintain the tightening effects of the Silhouette Soft whilst also using an excellent neck cream. One of my personal favourites is IMAGE MAX Stem Cell Lift cream – amazing for tighter skin.

Answer: Option for treating the neck The neck, is notoriously hard to treat non-surgically however, there are non-surgical options available to you which would be more effective. From your picture it looks like you have a prominent platysmal band which is a strong muscle that creates the turkey neck appearance. A simple treatment is to relax the muscle using Botulinim Toxin, a few injections are made down the band. The band will soften at about 2 weeks, but the procedure will need to be repeated after 3-4 months. We would also recommend you consider Silhouette Soft – this provides a skin lift which combines an immediate mechanical lift of the neck skin, as well as a biological lift by stimulating the natural production of collagen in the months that follow treatment. The results are immediate, but what’s even better is that after three months, the Silhouette Soft induces ‘neo-collagenasis’ – a process by which the body produces collagen, the skin’s natural tightening factor. This begins the process of the biological lift, where patients will notice that their skin is firmer and tighter than when they were initially treated. It also improves the texture of the skin. Treatment is, of course, subject to a clinician confirming your suitability, but I would suggest this is something you enquire about.
