How Long Does It Take Before You See Radiofrequency Tightening of Neck Results?

Radiofrequency treatmetns to the neck vary in the amount of treatments necessary to the time in which you will see results.  Machines like Pelleve require 6-8 treatments on the neck and you will start seeing some results around the fourth treatment.. Vivace is microneedling combined with radiofrequency and this is better for patients with textural issues as well as laxity.  Usually 4 treatments are best of this.  More invasive treatments like FaceTite are one and done and you will see some results as early as 6 weeks but continued improvement up to one year.My best,Sheila Nazarian

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.

Your main result is going to come from the neck lift.  Though I am not sure what type of procedure was done and how 'mini' the lift was.  RF skin tightening does work but the results aren't the same as surgery, and it helps to do a series of treatments and then maintain them to improve the result.  It is a good option when there is not a lot of neck sagging and in patients who do not wish to undergo surgery.  

Don't hold your breath.  You are not going to see a significant result.  The result you received from the actual surgical procedure is likely the result that you are going to have.  The current radio-frequency skin tightening procedures produce mild, if any, and only temporary skin tightening.  If any of the "swelling" that your doctor says you have goes away, you may actually end up with looser appearing skin than you do now.

 

Good Luck.

Usually after 2 to 3 treatments you can see a good difference, even after one treatment, the measurements do change, however it varies on the individual.
