Due to the loss of collagen and elastic fibres, the skin on the neck loses its elasticity and appears saggy and wrinkly. This is sometimes referred to as “turkey neck”. Often, the “sagging” of the soft tissues in the lower third of the face is accompanied by a loss of regular jawline and the formation of sagging cheeks.
Until recently, the only treatment for this was a surgical neck lift. Recently, microfocused ultrasound (Ultherapy) has become an effective, completely non-invasive method to treat mild to moderate cases. In individual cases, it is decided according to the findings whether only the neck or also the lower half of the face needs to be treated. After the treatment you will not see anything except for a slight swelling. The effect gradually becomes more noticeable from the 3rd month onwards.
In addition – as with the décolleté – the endodermal radiofrequency therapy Attiva can be used. It uses heat to promote the formation of collagen under the skin and leads to a significantly firmer neck. In addition, it can be used to lift sagging tissue and improve skin wrinkles.
In the case of pronounced neck bands (platysma), we advise an additional treatment with botulinum toxin. The transverse neck wrinkles can be softened by injecting thin fluid hyaluronic acid fillers that integrate particularly well into the tissue.
