Crepe skin on neck - will intense C02 laser help or will I need a neck lift? (Photo)

Question

I am 49 years old. For the significant crepe skin on my neck I have tried 3 sessions of Morpheus 8, 3 sessions of another RF micro needling procedure, and 2 sessions of Fraxel. None of these has made any difference at all. Is it possible that the more intense CO2 laser would help, or is a neck lift the only realistic option?

Neogen Plasma would be a great option for treating the concerns on your neck. This uses a combination of nitrous gas and radio frequency energy to stimulate collagen production to tighten and plump the skin. With Neogen Plasma there is little to no pain or downtime! Results can take 6-8 months to show optimal results leading in a more natural outcome. Neogen differs from other treatments like CO2 as there is no major damage to the epidermis!

For advanced crepey skin on the neck, CO₂ laser treatments rarely deliver noticeable improvement. A surgical neck lift is generally the only option that provides significant tightening and long-lasting results.
