Treatment for Crepey Neck Skin? (photo)

Question

I had microneedling performed on my neck years ago and since then it's had a crepey texture. The skin on my neck has always been sensitive (I've tried mild retinols but there's always been a reaction). Any recommendations? It extends onto my chest too - I'm interested in treating both but more interested in treating my neck.

Suitable for all skin types and backgrounds, Potenza RF Microneedling is perfect for patients seeking skin tightening for dull and crepey skin. Potenza stands out as the first RF microneedling device offering four distinct modes (monopolar, bipolar, 1MHz, 2MHz) and various needle tip options. This versatility allows it to cater to individual needs, providing highly personalized results.

Supplementing RF microneedling with a skin booster such as JUVELOOK (PDLLA) or REJURAN (PDRN) can improve skin texture and elasticity by increasing collagen.

JUVELOOK:  This non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment from South Korea improves skin elasticity, reduces fine lines, and enhances overall skin texture, resulting in gradual, natural-looking results without extensive downtime.

REJURAN: Also known as the salmon DNA treatment, this trending treatment from South Korea stimulates skin rejuvenation, repairs damage, and alleviates inflammation. This original formula provides deep hydration for anti-aging effects, improved and visibly smoother texture, and reduced appearance of damaged skin.

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.

Crepey skin is a common concern for the neck area.  Morpheus8 is a treatment that combines microneedling with RF technology to improve both skin tone and texture.  Three treatment sessions are recommended for optimal results. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.
