Neck Tightening in NYC

Achieving a youthful, firm neck is a common aesthetic goal for many individuals. While severe cases of neck sagging may necessitate traditional plastic surgery—a procedure often associated with significant costs and extended recovery periods—there are numerous minimally invasive treatments available that effectively address mild to moderate skin laxity under the chin and along the neck. At our New York dermatology office, we specialize in advanced non-surgical neck tightening procedures designed to rejuvenate your appearance with minimal to no downtime.

Non-Surgical Neck Tightening Treatments

1. Laser Skin Tightening: This non-invasive procedure utilizes the Aerolase Neo to deliver targeted laser energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result is a gradual tightening and smoothing of loose skin under the chin and neck area. Laser treatments are safe for all skin types and typically require no downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately.
2. Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling: With the Cutera Secret RF we combine the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency energy.  This treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin while delivering RF energy to deeper tissues.  It promotes collagen remodeling, effectively tightening sagging skin and improving overall skin texture. RF microneedling is suitable for various skin types and tones, with minimal to no downtime.
3. Kybella Injections: Excess fat on the upper neck behind the chin can given an aged appearance to the neck. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat—the fat beneath the chin. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, breaks down fat cells, leading to a more contoured jawline and neck. Once destroyed, these fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat, resulting in a permanent improvement. Kybella treatments involve minimal downtime, making them a convenient option for those seeking non-surgical solutions.

Addressing Neck Sagging After Weight Loss

Significant weight loss can lead to excess, sagging skin under the chin and around the neck. Non-surgical treatments like RF microneedling and laser skin tightening can effectively improve skin elasticity and firmness in these areas, helping to restore a more youthful contour without the need for invasive surgery.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Neck Rejuvenation

• Minimal to No Downtime: Most patients can return to their daily routines immediately following treatment.
• Safety Across Skin Types: Advanced technologies ensure treatments are safe and effective for individuals with diverse skin tones and types.
• Gradual, Natural-Looking Results: Collagen stimulation and fat reduction occur over time, leading to subtle and natural enhancements.

Neck Tightening: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

Can I tighten my saggy neck without surgery?

Yes, non-surgical treatments such as laser skin tightening, RF microneedling, and Kybella injections can effectively address mild to moderate neck sagging, providing a firmer and more youthful appearance without the need for surgery.

How does laser tighten a saggy neck?

Laser skin tightening works by delivering targeted heat to the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. They also address creepy skin. This process leads to gradual skin tightening and improved elasticity in the neck area.

Can RF microneedling tighten a saggy neck?

Absolutely. RF microneedling combines microneedling (which releases growth factors) with radiofrequency energy to create controlled micro-injuries and deliver heat to deeper skin layers. This dual action promotes collagen remodeling, effectively tightening sagging skin on the neck.

How much does a neck lift cost in NYC?

The cost of a traditional surgical neck lift in New York City varies, typically ranging from $5,000 to $15,000. The cost will depend on a variety of factors such as the surgeon’s expertise and the complexity of the procedure. Non-surgical alternatives are generally more affordable, though prices vary based on the specific treatment and number of sessions required.

How can I get rid of saggy fat under my chin?

Kybella injections are an effective non-surgical option for reducing submental fat (the fat beneath the chin). The treatment involves injecting deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells, resulting in a more contoured neck and jawline. Additional skin tightening treatment may or may not be needed.

How does Kybella tighten a saggy neck?

While Kybella primarily targets and eliminates fat cells under the chin, the reduction of submental fullness can lead to a more defined and tightened appearance of the neck area. However, Kybella does not directly tighten loose skin; combining it with skin-tightening treatments may yield optimal results.

Is there a permanent non-surgical neck lift?

Non-surgical treatments can provide long-lasting improvements, but results may not be as long-lasting as those from surgical procedures.  Maintenance sessions may be necessary to sustain the desired outcome. Consulting with a qualified dermatologist can help determine the best treatment plan for your goals. Keep in mind, even after surgery, we continue to age.
