I don’t have turkey neck, my jow still look ok. I know some electrical devices can cause more skin sagging. Is J plasma a good option?

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.

An in person evaluation is best, but you may be a candidate for FaceTite or Evoke Neck.  FaceTite would be a one time treatment.  It is minimally invasive and uses RF technology to stimulate collagen and elastin, tightening the skin.  Evoke Neck is non invasive with no downtime.  Typically six treatment sessions are recommended for optimal results.  Another option to consider is Morpheus8 which combines microneedling with RF technology to improve skin tone and texture.

HA fillers can work well for treating next skin laxity. Robust HA fillers injected properly on the sides, for example, can be used to lift, pull and refine the contours of the neck, and resilient, low viscosity, cohesive HA fillers can be used to improve the appearance and skin quality of the central portion of neck. Treatment generally should take no more than a fifteen minute session in experienced hands and engender little to no significant downtime.  However, these are advanced injection technques that should not be left to the hands of novice injectors accustomed only to using simple Juvederm or plain Restylane for smile lines. These are advanced injection techniques and you would be wise to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Hope this helps and best of luck.

"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.​"

Desheva Thank you for sharing your photos. From your photos it appears that you have fairly mild skin laxity, some platysma bands and tissue crowding under your jawline. These imperfections can be well addressed with MyEllevate and some skin tightening with FaceTite or J plasma/ Renuvion.  I agree with you that you do not need a full face and neck lift. Wishing you the best of health, Dr Wright.
