SAGGING NECK

WHAT IS A SAGGING NECK?

When the skin around your neck starts to become loose it can lead to the appearance of a sagging neck. This concern may also be referred to as ‘turkey neck’ and is often experienced by adults as they get older, which can be accompanied by long, horizontal wrinkles (known as neck bands).

Many people take steps to maintain a youthful look to their face, whether that is through a great skincare routine, or with the support of in-clinic treatments. So when a sagging neck starts to develop, it can be the factor that gives away your age.

WHAT CAUSES A SAGGING NECK?

As with the ageing-related concerns that affect your face, a sagging neck is also the result of the changing structure of your skin. Collagen and elastin decreases in all areas of the face and body, including the neck, which leads to weak, less volumized skin. Getting older will also see the muscles tire, which provides less support to the underlying structure of the skin.

When the skin loses elasticity, it loses its ability to stretch and contract. The skin becomes less taut, and when helped along by gravity, will start to hang off the neck.

HOW CAN I TREAT A SAGGING NECK?

At The Facebible, Nefertiti Neck lift may be an effective method of creating a more youthful appearance of the neck. This treatment is a non-invasive procedure that involves the application of multiple anti-wrinkle injections around the neck and jaw to help reverse the signs of ageing.

Alternatively, a skin tightening treatment such as Clearlift, a laser treatment that can create a firmer, lifted appearance to mild or moderate loose skin. This innovative treatment applies a fractional laser to the surface of the skin, which penetrates to the deeper levels and stimulates the production of collagen, to naturally lift and tighten the skin.
