Loose skin on neck - nonsurgical options? (photo)

Question

Do you think a neck lift is necessary?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

When correcting loose skin on the neck there are surgical and non surgical options.  
You can consider minimally invasive procedures such as FaceTite to tighten skin.  This uses RF technology just under and on top of the skin.  It is best for those with mild to moderate skin laxity.  No general anesthesia is required.
A surgical neck lift is for those with moderate to severe skin laxity.  It is designed to remove excess skin and recontour the neck line for a more youthful look.

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.
