With the aging process, men and women can develop loose, wrinkled or sagging skin on the neck. “Turkey neck” as it is often referred to, occurs when the neck muscles start to weaken, and our skin loses elasticity resulting in droopy and wrinkled skin. While aging, years of sun exposure, and smoking are the main reasons individuals have loose sagging neck skin, genetics can also be a major factor.

Prior to the many advances in non-surgical cosmetic treatments, the only way to address sagging loose skin was with a surgical procedure such as, a facelift or neck lift. There are a number of non-invasive aesthetic treatments that can address loose sagging neck skin.

During your consultation with Dr. Rebecca Baxt, board-certified dermatologist, she will examine your neck and review your skin tightening goals to recommend an appropriate treatment.

One skin tightening treatment option available at BAXT CosMedical® in Paramus, NJ is a non-surgical treatment which uses ultrasound energy, Ultherapy®. This treatment lifts and tightens skin on the face, neck, and chest. Ultherapy® treatment “is the only non-invasive procedure FDA-cleared to lift skin on the neck, chin and brow.” It can also be used to reduce wrinkles on the décolleté.

Another possible neck contouring option available to BAXT CosMedical® patients is KYBELLA®, the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness or “double chin.”

While Ultherapy® or KYBELLA® injections are not surgical procedures and neither are a substitute for a facelift or neck lift, these procedures may be a good option for those not interested in or ready for surgery. Dr. Baxt will provide you with an honest answer as to which procedure or treatment can best help you achieve your goals.

What is Ultherapy® and How Does it Work?

Ultherapy® uses micro-focused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin, stimulating collagen production. The thermal effect boosts collagen production resulting in tighter and younger-looking skin.

During your Ultherapy® treatment, which is performed in our Paramus, NJ office, the skin is cleansed, and ultrasound gel is applied to the target area. The Ultherapy® handpiece is placed on the skin, delivering low-level focused heat as it moves over the target area. Mild discomfort may be experienced as the heat is delivered beneath the skin.

Discomfort levels vary from patient to patient, and on the area being treated. Treatment of the eye area “lifts” the brow reducing excess skin on the eyelids, making the eyes look more open. Other treatments can lift and tighten sagging skin on the neck and under the chin reducing a double chin or “turkey neck.”

It takes 60 to 90 minutes to treat the entire face and neck; a partial face or brow treatment usually takes 30 minutes.*
