What is the best non-surgical treatment for vertical wrinkles/crepey neck? (photos)

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.

Hello @mbcmbc thank you for your question. There are various treatments to treat the skin of the neck, one of which is Ultherapy is a non surgical procedure with a technology that prevents facial and body flaccidity. It produce a retraction of the skin so that it remains firm against the tissue and optimizes the production of collagen; in addition this treatment produces a greater hydration improving the quality and tone of the skin. Ultherapy makes skin younger, tenser. You need to consult with the specialistYou need to consult with a specialist who will create a protocol especially for your needs. Best wishes!

A combination approach would give the most improvement. Nonsurgical options such as Kybella, PDO NovaThreads, and Ultherapy do well in combination for skin tightening, but the results are mild compared to surgical options.

I would recommend a VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma) and InMode BodyTite to contour and tighten the chin and neck. A neck lift can be performed at the same time, if you're a good candidate. I suggest seeing a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist to develop a personalized treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer.​

It looks like you have had some sort of surgery here already with that one area that looks pulled up. For the skin, you should try some microneedling with radiofrequency as you want to stimulate new collagen growth. It will take a few treatments, but works well for these sort of lines.
