What's precision TX & does it work for the turkey neck? (Photos)

Precision is a 1440nm Nd:YAG laser by Cynosure.  I used to have this device but I got rid of it because the results were not very good, especially given the amount of postop downtime.  For skin tightening, jowels and "turkey neck," in the non-invasive technology realm, you're much better off with radiofrequency treatments such as ThermiTight/ThermiSmooth or Viva.  I hope this helps!

It's difficult to tell from your pictures. I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for improving a turkey neck, in those who are candidates and depending can be combined with a neck lift at the same time. Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The PrecisionTx treatment is performed by using a very small cannula inserted under the skin. A unique SideLaze800™ laser fiber inside the tube delivers energy directly under the skin. The precise laser energy improves the quality of patients’ skin, while simultaneously disrupting and eliminating fat cells in selected areas of the face, including under the chin and neck.

Thanks for your question. I think that PrecisionTx would be a reasonable solution for you. PrecisionTx uses a laser to remove excess fat and stimulate collagen production in your skin to tighten up the neck. While the results are not as good as you would get with a formal face lift, may patients experience a nice improvement. There is a lot less down time than with a traditional lift, it costs a lot less, and it can be done under local anesthesia. Good luck!

Precsion Tx is an internal laser similar to the Smartlipo laser designed to tighten skin and remove small amounts of fat from the neck.With two to four tiny incisions under the chin or behind the ears a very fine Laser fiber is inserted beneath the skin.  The Laser separates the skin from the underlying muscles, thickens and tightens the skin by building new collagen and removes unwanted fat.yyThis office procedure is perfomed under local anesthesia with no significant pain during or after the procedure.  Results are noticeable after one week with additional skin tightening occurring over  months.In the proper hands this technology is as good or better than any "non surgical" neck tighening.  In patients who do not have excessive amounts of loose skin, fat and muscle this is an excellent alternative to a neck lift.  No nonsurgical procedure will give results lasting as long as long a properly performed neck lift operation.Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.
