30 y/o concerned about skin texture in neck area. Which procedure can help target this? (photo)

Question

Seemingly out of nowhere, the texture on my neck has changed dramatically for the worse. It’s really only visible in direct light, but wondering what I can do to fix this. I’m only 30 and my family members all have great skin. My neck skin feels less elastic now. I wear sunscreen every day.

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.

I recommend Ultherapy because it is the only device FDA cleared to lift multiple levels of skin, including the deepest layer where plastic surgeons would operate during a face lift. Other devices will only tighten.
