Saggy Neck Treatments

When the skin on our neck loses its firmness and elasticity, folds or wrinkles may appear and the skin can start to droop, leading to a condition known as saggy neck. Ageing is the primary cause of saggy neck, however there are treatments available to roll back the years and support your skin.

What is a Saggy Neck?

Also known as ‘Turkey neck’ a saggy neck is the wrinkly, saggy skin on our necks which tends to develop as we age. As the muscles in our neck become weaker and skin loses its ‘tightness’, our neck can appear droopy and even our jawline may appear less defined.
The primary cause of a saggy neck is ageing. Over time, the amount of collagen and elastin in our skin declines, causing skin to become looser and saggier. Genetics also play a part and influence the rate at which skin ages as well as the likelihood of sagging skin. Another cause of saggy neck is weight loss, particularly a significant and speedy weight loss which results in sagging, loose skin. Excess sun exposure and smoking can contribute to a saggy neck too as both of these accelerate skin ageing and contribute to the breakdown of structural proteins, collagen and elastin.

If you often find yourself looking down at your phone, or hunched over a keyboard, then you may be more likely to develop saggy neck due to the postural change which weakens neck muscles.


At Dr David Jack, we have a number of treatments which can help improve the appearance of a saggy neck. Get in touch to find out how we can help.

TREATMENTS FOR SAGGY NECK

01MORPHEUS8
+

Morpheus8 is an effective treatment for a saggy neck due to its unique combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy. The microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body's natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Simultaneously, the radiofrequency energy tightens and contours the skin by heating the deeper layers. This dual approach not only tightens and lifts the saggy neck area but also improves skin texture and tone, resulting in a smoother and more rejuvenated appearance. The minimally invasive nature of Morpheus8 allows for a quick recovery, making it a popular choice for neck rejuvenation.

02FORMA
+

Forma is a treatment we may recommend to patients in their 20s and early 30s to help improve the appearance of a saggy neck. Forma utilises radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, which are the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. As new collagen forms over time, the neck skin becomes tighter and more lifted, reducing sagginess and improving contours. Forma treatments are painless and require no downtime, making them a convenient option for gradually improving a saggy neck appearance without surgery. Multiple sessions provide cumulative tightening effects for optimal neck rejuvenation.

03ENDOLIFT

Endolift is an advanced and minimally invasive approach to tighteting and lifting the neck muscles and skin from within, effectively reducing the appearance of a saggy neck. During the procedure, specialised devices are inserted through tiny incisions, allowing the practitioner to tighten and reposition the neck muscles and remove excess fat and skin. This internal tightening and contouring of the neck area achieves a more youthful, defined jawline and smoother neck contour without the need for extensive surgery or long recovery times associated with traditional neck lifts. Endolift provides natural-looking neck rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
