When it comes to non-invasive treatments that target sagging, loose skin, the secret lies in stimulating collagen and elastin production within the dermis. These two powerhouses are the structural fibres in our skin that keep it looking firm, plump and youthful.
Collagen's main role is to provide structure, strength and support in your body. Elastin's main role is to provide flexibility - its fibres resemble tiny coiled springs when viewed under a microscope, providing the stretching characteristic that allows your skin to spring back into place.
Neck skin is not only thinner than facial skin, but it's also exposed to constant movement and UV rays, making it susceptible to wrinkles and sun damage. We also tend to forget to extend our skincare below our jawline to the neck and chest, making it reflect even a small decrease in collagen support with sagging and crepiness. Common signs of ageing in the neck include jowls, deep horizontal lines, vertical bands, crepey skin and laxity.
Some people may not be ready or willing to undergo a surgical neck lift due to many reasons such as costs of surgery, the downtime needed or merely a lack of interest in cosmetic surgery. If that’s your case, non-surgical options can still provide a great improvement to the neck area, addressing folds and wrinkles to help you achieve more youthful neck skin.
Here are our top 3 treatments recommended to address the neck non-invasively:
Clearlift
This innovative technology utilises non-ablative fractional laser light to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin without damaging the surface. The expected result is a noticeable tightening effect that can help reduce the appearance of sagging skin and lines. The treatment is both gentle and effective, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones, and requires zero downtime, so you can return to your daily activities immediately.
One of the standout features of ClearLift is its ability to deliver results painlessly, without the discomfort typically associated with ablative lasers. Over a series of sessions, ClearLift can improve the firmness, texture and tone of the neck area, creating a smoother appearance.
HIFU
Another great neck tightening treatment for achieving a more defined appearance is HIFU. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound technology targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue regeneration from within. By delivering focused ultrasound energy, HIFU heats the underlying tissue without affecting the surface, resulting in a lifting and tightening effect.
Over the weeks following treatment, the skin continues to improve as collagen production increases, with optimal results becoming visible after a few months. This makes HIFU an attractive option for individuals seeking a long-lasting, non-surgical approach to neck lifting, offering both immediate and progressive benefits in a one-off session.
Secret RF
Secret RF offers a powerful combination of radiofrequency energy and microneedling to rejuvenate the neck skin. This advanced treatment delivers controlled RF energy through tiny needles. The microneedling aspect creates micro-injuries that trigger the body's natural healing processes to stimulate collagen production, while the RF energy heats the underlying tissues to enhance skin tightening. As a result, patients can achieve a firmer, smoother neck with improved skin texture and elasticity.
The treatment is designed to be customisable, allowing us to adjust the microneedling depth and radiofrequency intensity to suit individual skin types and concerns. Over the following weeks, the skin continues to improve as collagen remodelling takes place, revealing a more a firmer neck skin.
ClearLift, HIFU and Secret RF are fantastic technologies that we offer with great visible results. Book your consultation if you'd like to discuss them with one of our experienced practitioners.
