Aside from your face, it is also essential to take good care of your neck to prevent it from aging. In fact, it can be caused by environmental factors and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Many people have complaints about their neck and upper body aging. The most common complaints are wrinkles, crow’s feet, and sagging skin.
For people who want to improve the appearance of their skin, a neck lift may be a good option. But, getting rid of loose skin on the neck and under the chin can be very risky. Doing so can involve various surgical procedures. This is why many people consider neck lifting a non-invasive procedure.
Non surgical neck lift is generally considered safer and less invasive than traditional procedures. They can also help improve the appearance of certain areas of the neck.
Benefits Of Having A Non-Surgical Neck Lift
A surgical neck lift is a procedure that can remove excess skin and improve the appearance of the neck. It can also reduce the bands around the neck. In 2019, around 55,000 people had a neck lift procedure. The number of people who want to improve their appearance without going under the knife has been on the rise. In fact, non-invasive procedures such as laser hair removal and cosmetic surgery are not as dramatic as traditional procedures.
They can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. They can also reduce the appearance of neck folds and give a more youthful look.
Aside from being more effective, non-invasive cosmetic procedures can also help improve a person’s appearance, and it includes:
- Quick Recovery Time- For most non-invasive neck lift procedures, recovery times can range from a few hours to a few days. Although there are some side effects associated with certain medications, such as soreness and irritation, they are usually minor.
- Less Expensive- A neck lift typically costs around $5,000. On the other hand, non-surgical procedures can range from $400 to $2,000 depending on the treatment.
- The procedure is Short- Most non-invasive procedures take around 30 to 90 minutes. Compared to surgical procedures, which can take several hours, these procedures generally take less time.
- Overall Risks are Fewer- Since non-emergency procedures such as cosmetic surgery do not require general anesthesia, they are less likely to affect your health. (1)
Other Types Of Non-Surgical Neck Lifts
Aside from cosmetic procedures, there are also non-invasive techniques that can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the neck.
Botox
Botulinum toxin type A is commonly used to treat facial problems. It can be injected into the skin helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help prevent them from reappearing. Although Botox is usually not approved for use on the neck, many dermatologists still perform it. It is used to improve the appearance of wrinkles and relax the neck muscles.
It is very easy to get and is less painful than other procedures. The cost of a treatment is around $400. It takes around 3 to 4 months to maintain its result (2)
Fractionated Ablative Laser Treatment
Palm says that with the use of fractionated technology, a portion of the skin is treated while the adjacent skin is still healing, which can lead to faster healing. CO2 and erbium laser treatments can stimulate the growth of new collagen for skin and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They can also create selective destruction of the first two layers of skin, which can lead to skin texture improvement.
According to professionals, this procedure requires regular anesthesia and is usually performed under local anesthesia. It can be effective for patients with moderate to severe neck laxity. Although laser treatments are generally more effective for people with moderate to mild aging, downtime can last for up to 10 days, and the average cost of a treatment is around $2,000.
Kybella
Some people have excess fat under their chin and in their upper neck. If this is causing them to have a roughneck contour, their doctor may suggest removing this fat using a non-invasive treatment called Kybella.
Deoxycholic acid is a kind of substance that breaks down and destroys fat cells. The treatment, which is usually performed in 30 minutes, works by removing fat cells from the upper and lower portions of the body. It can be very fast and effective, but it can cause minor bruising and swelling.
Ultherapy
In 2009, this technology was approved by the FDA for the treatment of various conditions, such as neck and chin lifts. Also, it can be used to treat lines and wrinkles in the chest area. Through focused imaging, Ultherapy can stimulate the production of collagen and improve the appearance of the skin on the neck and chin. It can also be used to support deeper layers of the skin. Unlike other procedures, Ultherapy doesn’t require downtime and can be performed in an office. It works by creating new collagen that will lift and tone the skin on the neck and chin. Results usually appear around two to three months after the procedure.
Final Words
As you get older, your skin loses its volume and begins to look thinner on the neck. Unfortunately, traditional methods such as wearing clothing that conceals the area aren’t very effective. Fortunately, there are various non-invasive treatments that can help restore the appearance of your neck.
These procedures are more affordable and can be performed safely. They can also help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. To get the most out of these procedures, consult with board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
