As we age, our necks tend to be the first part of the body that shows lines and wrinkles and sagging skin. A “turkey neck” and crepey skin are common occurrences we see in our patients at Key Laser Institute. Luckily, we offer a wide range of treatments that can help you look and feel your best.

Causes of Turkey Neck

There are a number of causes for the sagging and crepey skin that are often associated with a “turkey neck.” Some of the causes include sun exposure, aging, genetics, and changes in weight.

How to Treat a Turkey Neck

At Key Laser Institute, we offer a variety of different skin-tightening and skin-smoothing neck treatments to address a turkey neck, including everything from Kybella injections to laser treatment to ultherapy. You don’t need surgical procedures to achieve amazing results. You’ll see significant improvement after only one treatment.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production. With an increase in collagen, your skin will tighten, lift, and smooth, reducing the appearance of a “turkey neck.” Treatment typically takes 30 minutes to an hour.

ThermiTight

ThermiTight uses radiofrequency energy to heat the tissues under the skin to increase collagen production. The collagen provides more structure to the skin, allowing the treatment to address skin laxity issues and tighten and firm loose skin, leaving you with a younger-looking appearance.

ThermiSmooth

ThermiSmooth also uses radiofrequency energy to smooth and tighten sagging skin. The heat of the energy penetrates the skin, promoting collagen production. We typically recommend three treatment sessions, each taking 30-60 minutes.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

IPL treatment is also highly effective at addressing lines and wrinkles, dull skin, sun-damaged skin, and redness in the neck area. With our BBL treatment, you can finally have the younger-looking neck you’ve been dreaming of.

Fraxel

Fraxel is a laser skin resurfacing treatment that uses light energy to stimulate collagen and rejuvenate the skin cells. By precisely targeting areas of the skin, it can eliminate lines and wrinkles and leave the neck with smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.

CO2 DOT Laser Therapy

Looking to address deep lines? CO2 DOT ablative laser resurfacing is the perfect solution! The laser resurfacing treatment takes a few hours but provides exceptional results in the months after treatment. It stimulates collagen production, promotes cellular renewal, and can give you the smoother and more youthful-looking neck you desire.

Picosure Focus

PicoSure FOCUS uses skin cell activation. What is that? It causes the skin cells to release proteins that trigger the body’s natural healing response. This increases the production of collagen and elastin and can address many visible signs of aging, like wrinkles and sun damage.

Kybella

Kybella is made up of deoxycholic acid and is injected into the subcutaneous fat in the treatment area under the skin, destroying fat cells. The body will then absorb and eliminate the fat cells over time, leaving you with a more defined jawline. If you’re struggling with a double chin, this is the perfect solution!

Am I a Candidate for Neck Treatment?

Ideal candidates for neck rejuvenation treatments are typically adults who are generally healthy, have realistic expectations, aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding, and are nonsmokers. You should also be looking to address fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging in the neck area.

What to Know About Neck Treatment

Before Your Neck Treatment

Your provider will let you know what to do to prepare for treatment. Instructions may differ depending on the type of treatment that’s right for you. We typically recommend not wearing any makeup on the day of treatment and avoiding alcohol, blood thinners, and sun exposure in the week before treatment.

During Your Neck Treatment

What occurs during your treatment session will differ depending on the treatment that’s being done. With Kybella, you will simply have a few injections, which are placed around the neck and jawline.

For laser therapy, radiofrequency treatment, and ultherapy, you may experience some warmth or a tingling sensation, but most patients tolerate it quite well. How long your session lasts will depend on the results you’re looking for and the size of the treatment area.

After Your Neck Treatment

No matter what treatment you have, afterward, you’ll want to limit your exposure to the sun, avoid strenuous activities, stay hydrated, and avoid smoking and alcohol. Your provider will give you full, detailed aftercare instructions, and you’ll want to follow those to ensure you achieve optimal results.
