A wrinkly neck, also known as 'turkey neck', is a common cosmetic concern characterised by sagging and wrinkled skin on the neck and under the chin. This condition can make a person look older and more tired than they actually are, and can be a source of self-consciousness for many people. Fortunately, there are several treatments available to improve the appearance of a wrinkly neck. These include surgical procedures such as a neck lift, which involves tightening the skin and underlying muscles on the neck, as well as non-surgical treatments such as injectable fillers, laser resurfacing, and radiofrequency therapy. In addition, lifestyle changes such as protecting the skin from the sun, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking can help prevent or slow down the development of a wrinkly neck. By addressing this cosmetic concern, individuals can improve their overall appearance and boost their self-confidence.
A wrinkly neck is caused by a combination of factors such as ageing, genetics, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, and poor lifestyle habits. As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and collagen, causing it to sag and wrinkle. Genetics can also play a role in how our skin ages, including how much collagen and elastin we produce. Sun exposure can cause premature skin ageing, including the development of wrinkles and sagging skin. Weight fluctuations, particularly rapid weight loss, can also contribute to the development of a wrinkly neck. Poor lifestyle habits such as smoking and not getting enough sleep can also accelerate skin ageing and contribute to the development of a wrinkly neck.
Some natural ways to improve the appearance of a wrinkly neck include practicing good skincare habits such as keeping the skin hydrated, using sunscreen, maintaining a healthy weight, performing neck exercises, staying hydrated, and eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins.
While a wrinkly neck cannot be completely prevented, certain measures such as protecting the skin from the sun, maintaining a healthy weight, staying hydrated, and not smoking can help reduce the risk of developing a wrinkly neck.
There are several treatment options for a wrinkly neck. These include surgical procedures such as a neck lift as well as non-surgical treatments including injectable fillers, laser resurfacing, and radiofrequency therapy. In addition, natural remedies such as neck exercises, maintaining a healthy weight, and keeping good skincare habits can also help improve the appearance of a wrinkly neck.
Surgical procedures such as a neck lift typically require a significant amount of recovery time. Non-surgical treatments such as microcurrent face lifts and radiofrequency treatments have much less downtime, meaning patients can usually resume their normal activities very quickly.
When performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner, neck rejuvenation treatments are generally safe and effective. However, as with any procedure, there are some risks and potential side effects associated with these treatments. These should be discussed with the practitioner beforehand.
Our neck is often a forgotten part of our face, and therefore often starts to show the signs of ageing quickly due to the lack of care it is given.
At RSA, all of our facial treatments include the neck, although we do offer specific treatment packages which target skin tightening and contouring on the neck alone.
Radiofrequency and nanofractional radiofrequency (Venus Legacy and Venus Viva) are usually our go-to treatments to deliver optimum results on the neck area.
