An ageing neck, jowls, and the so-called "turkey neck" are among the most common aesthetic concerns that arise with age. These changes occur due to skin laxity, collagen loss, and weakening of supportive structures such as the platysma muscle and SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer. Lifestyle factors, such as sun exposure, smoking, weight fluctuations, and even "tech neck" from prolonged screen time, accelerate the process.
At Skin Renewal, we understand how these changes affect confidence. Our doctor-led, multi-layered approach combines no-downtime solutions, advanced injectables, and regenerative technologies to naturally and safely rejuvenate the lower face and neck.
Causes of Neck Ageing and Jowls
- Collagen & Elastin Loss: Thinning, sagging skin and crepey texture.
- Platysmal Banding: Weakening of the platysma muscle causes vertical neck bands, contributing to turkey neck.
- Fat Redistribution: The descent of fat pads and SMAS laxity can lead to jowls.
- Lifestyle & Environmental Factors: Sun damage, smoking, and dehydration accelerate ageing.
- Genetics: Some individuals are more predisposed to early sagging or banding.
- Tech Neck: Repeatedly holding your neck in a downward posture can create horizontal creases and lead to early laxity.
Preventing an Ageing Neck
While advanced treatments can effectively restore youthfulness to the neck and jawline, prevention plays a vital role in slowing down visible signs of ageing. The delicate skin of the neck is thinner than that of the face, making it more vulnerable to sun exposure, repetitive movements, and lifestyle stressors.
- Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
- Extending skincare products such as retinol, peptides, and antioxidants to the neck and maintaining optimal hydration helps preserve firmness and elasticity.
- Good posture and ergonomic adjustments can help mitigate the effects of "tech neck".
- Avoid smoking.
- Maintaining a stable weight protects both skin and muscle tone.
By caring for the neck as diligently as the face, you can delay sagging, creping, and lines, keeping your profile smooth, youthful, and confident for years to come.
Signature Treatments at Skin Renewal
At Skin Renewal, we believe true transformation lies in the power of combination. Our signature treatments are carefully designed protocols that combine world-class technologies, advanced injectables, and regenerative treatments under the guidance of our experienced doctors.
Our Favourite Signature Solutions:
This unique, doctor-led approach ensures that every treatment plan is not only safe and scientifically sound but also tailored to your individual needs. By layering and sequencing treatments in harmony, we create a powerful multiplier effect, delivering results that are more impactful and longer lasting than any single treatment could achieve on its own.
These treatments can include:
- Botulinum Toxin: Botulinum Toxin smooths platysmal bands, prevents hyperactivity, and restores a defined jawline. Works both as a rejuvenating and preventative treatment.
- RF Microneedling: Endymed Intensif and Secret RF microneedling can tighten and lift sagging skin by stimulating the production of new collagen.
- Titan Skin Tightening: Titan® utilises infrared light to safely heat the dermis, promoting collagen contraction and long-term tightening, ideal for sagging jawlines and “turkey necks.”
- Radiofrequency (RF): Endymed, Titania, Exilis, Slimlux and Accent use heat energy to stimulate collagen and elastin, improving firmness, elasticity, and overall skin tone.
- Laser Rejuvenation: Pico Toning and Laser Genesis stimulate collagen production, resulting in gradual skin tightening and firming.
- Fractional Resurfacing: Endymed FSR, CO2, and Fractional Fusion improve tone, texture, and sun-damaged skin while tightening.
- Biorevitalisation: Improve hydration, elasticity and skin quality.
- Chemical Peels: Chemical peels can resurface sun damage and pigmentation.
- ND:YAG Skin Tightening: ND:Yag laser utilises safe, controlled heat energy to contract existing collagen fibres and stimulate new collagen formation, thereby tightening lax skin on the lower face and neck with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
- Carboxytherapy: Naturally boosts oxygen flow and microcirculation to rejuvenate tired, crepey neck skin and improve firmness and tone.
