I'm early 30's and have just started to get loose skin on the neck. What is the best treatment for the onset of jowls?

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.

Best,

Thanks for the question and photos. I would recommend a non-surgical treatment like Ultherapy for early signs of aging like these. This procedure is designed for skin tightening and can produce excellent results for younger patients like you. The device delivers ultrasound energy into the deeper dermal structure, where it constricts tissue and promotes collagen production. The result is firmer, smoother skin over time as collagen levels build. The device is completely safe for use on the face and neck and can reduce the jowls that are already starting to appear. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist who has performed many Ultherapy treatments to ensure the best possible results. 

Early signs of aging like yours can be addressed using nonsurgical treatments in most cases. Microneedling is a procedure that creates tiny channels in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing response. As the body boosts collagen production to address the injury to the tissue, the skin becomes smoother and firmer from the inside out. 
I add platelet-rich plasma to my microneedling procedures to further boost the regenerative effects. This plasma is extracted from your own blood through a simple blood draw in my office. Because it contains a high concentration of growth factors, it assists with cell renewal to rejuvenate the skin more efficiently. Make sure you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in skin rejuvenation to ensure your doctor can tailor your treatment to your precise needs for the best possible results.
