Talking Turkey

Many men and women are shocked to hear that there is no such thing as a “neck lift.” Unfortunately, as with many things in life, there’s no “quick fix” procedure for that area. Reversal of the sag requires an invasive face lift (a minimum of 2- 3 weeks to heal) and won’t  improve the overall quality of skin. 

In addition to the loose skin, lines, wrinkles, and splotchy pigmentation is often visible along the sides of older necks. It’s a condition dermatologists call “poikiloderma,” resulting from chronic sun damage. Because most of us forget to slather the sunscreen on our neck daily, the sides are always exposed. The middle of the neck is a different story– like a visor on a baseball cap, it’s protected. 

The good news is that a topical, medicated skincare regimen will greatly improve the appearance of the skin. Micro-needling is non-invasive and clinically proven to safely and effectively improve the appearance of skin firmness and reverse sagging. See the before and after below showing a great reversal of this consultant’s “turkey neck”. I use my micro-needle roller daily and have been very pleased with the results on my neck. I also use a skincare regimen that contains retinol and peptides to improve wrinkles and texture and make sure to bring my skincare products all the way down onto my neck and décolletage both AM and PM!
