Will dermo needling help jowls and turkey neck?

As much as dermarollers and dermaneedling can be beneficial to rejuvenating the skin by stimulating it's collagen production, it does not lift or reduce excess skin. There are some non-surgical treatments that can improve the appearance of the jowls and neck. However, many non-surgical or non-invasive treatments can only benefit those with minimal laxity/#sagging. Non-surgical procedures can only temporary resolve the issue and require few to several attempts or treatment appointments. Depending on the level of laxity, the effects of a traditional neck lift will certainly outlast the effects of non-surgical treatments such as #laser. The presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin and condition of your skin are among some factors which determine if you are a #candidate for #rejuvenating the neck. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results.
A board certified plastic surgeon should evaluate both your anatomical features and aesthetic goals to suggest which procedure best suits your needs. In some cases there may be more than one option to choose from and and if you are not a candidate at the time of your #consultation, your board surgeon can recommend alternatives to address your concern.

Without photos or an exam it's difficult to make a specific recommendation but I can provide some general information. Depending on the degree of skin laxity you may be a candidate for FaceTite. This minimally invasive treatment can tighten the skin on the face and neck with no general anesthesia required. Another option is Morpheus8. This noninvasive treatment combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture. Dermal fillers can also be used to help the appearance of the jowling. Juvederm Volux is a filler specifically designed to address the jawline. See my website or a provider near you to learn more.

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.
