Ageing Neck

While there are many changes that occur in the face as we age, one of the most bothersome to many patients, and one of the first areas to show signs of ageing, is the changes that occur in the neck.

Women often place such focus on treating the skin on their face that they neglect this prominent region, leading to a mismatched skin appearance. Sun damage, together with the prolonged use of perfume on the sun-exposed neck area, are the most profound factors in the development of ageing on the neck.

Signs of an ageing neck are horizontal wrinkles, actinic bronzing (permanently bronzed skin), reddened skin (poikiloderma), patchy pigmentation, age spots, and the development of vertical neck bands, loose sagging skin, loss of a good sharp neck angle and the development of a double chin or turkey neck. Fine textural lines scattered over the skin surface are partly due to the loss of collagen's integrity and the constant loss of hydration (aka trans epidermal water loss). Finally, there is laxity from the weakening and loss of integrity of the skin’s elastic fibres.

In men, the ageing neck poses some different issues. They often have more skin excess resulting in “neck rolls” and double chin. Because they generally tend to be less pedantic with sun protection and sun avoidance, men tend to develop all the common signs of sun damage on the neck and chest.

At Skin Renewal, our neck rejuvenation treatments offer a solution to those looking to restore a youthful appearance to their neck. Because ageing occurs in the skin at multiple levels, all of which exacerbate the problem, it is imperative to target the problem for a variety of levels in order to get excellent results.

Combination therapy is vital in order to correct and restore a youthful appearance of the neck area. Treatments may include a combination of the following:

Every patient is provided with a fully customised solution dependant on expectations, budget, time and medical conditions. A highly professional team led by a medical doctor assesses every patient and an appropriate combination treatment solution, together with long term maintenance program is recommended.

Skin Renewal Tip

To improve a red & brown mottled neck which is distressing to most women, Limelight will shrink the tiny red veins causing the diffuse redness and also destroy the melanin which causes the mottled brown appearance. A series of 3 to 4 treatments are indicated for best results.

frequently asked
questions

I am 69 yrs lost 16 kg and my neck & jawline has a lot of loose skin. What should I do?

In a case like this, it is going to require a combination approach. Firstly, we need to look at treatments to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin, to get the skin's elasticity as restored as possible and to start the action of tightening up the loose skin. treatments such as ND:Yag Skin tightening, Radio Frequency Needling, Carboxytherapy, Needling and Titan are all possible treatment options. The second thing that will need to be addressed is the issue of volume loss. Often when someone loses a lot of weight, they also lose facial volume, causing the skin to sag and look aged, so replacing some of the lost facial volume with dermal fillers, Profhilo and Sculptra can be extremely helpful. Lastly, a good homecare regime needs to be planned for you, in order to hydrate, restore and protect your skin. Good medical topicals go a long way to reinforce and maintain your treatment results. 

I have lost more than 30kg. How do I deal with the skin that's sagging where my double chin used to be?

Well done on your weight loss achievement! Unfortunately, it does take a very long time for the skin to recover after such weight loss, and in some cases, it will not fully recover at all unless you are prepared to have some skin tightening treatments. There are quite a few options available to you, including: Radio Frequency Needling; Carboxy Therapy; Titan Laser; and Laser Genesis (to name but a few).

I would give this 10 stars if I could. I'm extremely happy with the service from Dr. Lestonn Lawn. I basically got a far better service for half the price of what I would usually get it for overseas. He and his shadowing doctor were extremely professional and competent. Honestly I cannot reiterate enough that I got better results in Sandton than I did in Manhattan for half the price. Highly recommend.
