Is there a less invasive way to treat loose skin only on neck? (photos)

Question

I had a necklift done in 2009 and twice since then asked my Dr. for another and he kept telling me to buy some time. I was wondering if there are any procedures that are less invasive than a traditional neck lift, i.e. skin only? Is a lower face lift and neck done at same time and what exactly is a lower face lift? 65yr.

You may consider FaceTite.  This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology both on the skin surface and just under the skin to tighten tissues.  No general anesthesia is required.  It can be combined with Morpheus8 treatments to optimize results.  Visit my website or a provider near you to learn more.

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.

"A combination approach would give the most improvement. Nonsurgical options such as Kybella, PDO NovaThreads, and Ultherapy do well in combination for skin tightening, but the results are mild compared to surgical options.

I would recommend a VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma) and InMode BodyTite to contour and tighten the chin and neck. A neck lift can be performed at the same time, if you're a good candidate. I suggest seeing a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist to develop a personalized treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer.​"

Hello there! RF microneedling is a great option for treating the neck. It can help reduce fine lines, stimulate collagen, and tighten skin. Another option is the Picosure laser which can help with tightening and fine lines.
