I am 57 yrs. old with a thin build. I don't have excess fat on my neck but do have what I refer to as 'crepey' skin in the center. Can this skin be tightened via a laser procedure, or am I doomed to undergo some type of invasive procedure to improve the appearance? (I don't have a sagging jaw line, or jowls so am not considering a mini facelift.) Thanks!
Answer: Crepey Neck Skin There are many lasers like Thermage and Titan that help tighten some of the skin but the effects are minimal.

Answer: Crepey neck skin can be treated with lasers such as Resurfx and clear & Brilliant along with Melapeels to help tighten the skin Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Skin Tightening -- VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction, ThermiRF, Renuvion, Thermage, Ultherapy, Novathreads / Instalift, BodyTite "These are all natural parts of the aging process. What we can do is try preventative treatments or get a neck lift / face lift earlier in the aging process. There are numerous non-surgical options available, and some can be used in combination to get best outcomes, but you would need a consultation with an expert.

Answer: Look at these options for your skin The neck ages rapidly compared to other parts of the face. This is because the fan like platysma muscle is extremely mobile and the constant turning and lifting of the head and neck leads to redundant skin, fat and muscle.

Answer: Laser treatment for neck skin In some cases, laser treatments on the neck can be helpful to improve the overall skin quality and can offer a small degree of tightening. If there is significant neck laxity, laser resurfacing will not be adequate, and there is no substitution for a surgical neck lifting procedure. Each patient is obviously unique, so the procedure should be tailored to the individual.All the best,

Answer: Laser Treatment for Crepey Neck Skin? Lasers Can Help Crepey Skin But Loose Skin Requires Surgery Although there are a great many noninvasive skin-tightening modalities out there, nothing can come close to achieving the results of a good neck lift with platysmaplasty (tightening of the neck muscles). Because you didn't provide photos, it's hard to understand what you mean by “crepey” skin. If it's just a matter of texture, then perhaps you would benefit from a combination of laser resurfacing, microneedling and chemical peels to stimulate more collagen and elastin. If there is any loose skin, however, a neck lift would give you a dramatic and long-lasting improvement that you could enjoy for 5 to 8 years or more. Ultimately, this might feel like less of a “doom” than constant maintenance with less effective noninvasive treatments. I hope this helps.
