At Absolute Cosmetic, we understand the surgical route is not what everyone wants to do, and a lot of the time, we will recommend looking at non-surgical or preventive options first.
A non-surgical neck lift may be considered by those looking for treatments designed to assist with skin laxity and contour without invasive procedures.
In this article, we explore what a traditional neck lift involves, available non-surgical procedures for neck tightening, and what to expect from non-surgical before and after results.
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to reposition and support the skin and underlying tissues of the neck and jawline. It is typically performed to address changes in neck contour, skin laxity, and the structure beneath the chin.
Preventative Non-Surgical Treatments for the Neck
For individuals looking to maintain skin firmness and support collagen production before significant laxity develops, there are several preventative non-surgical options available at Absolute Cosmetic:
-
Morpheus8 RF Microneedling:
A combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy is designed to stimulate collagen deep within the skin layers, supporting structural integrity and helping to delay visible signs of laxity. -
Vivace RF Microneedling:
A minimally invasive treatment that uses microneedling combined with radiofrequency and LED light therapy to promote collagen production and improve skin tone and texture. -
Skin Boosters:
Treatments that improve overall skin hydration and elasticity, helping to strengthen the skin barrier and maintain firmness over time. -
Rejuran Polynucleotides:
Polynucleotide-based injectables are designed to improve skin health, elasticity, and resilience by promoting cellular regeneration.
Preventative treatments are generally recommended for those seeking to maintain their neck profile and delay the need for more intensive interventions.
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatments for the Neck
For individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who are seeking visible tightening without surgery, several non-surgical options are available:
-
Ultraformer MPT (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound – HIFU):
A non-invasive ultrasound-based treatment that targets deep layers of skin to promote lifting and firming, beneficial for the jawline and neck. -
Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening:
Treatments using controlled RF energy to heat deeper dermal layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production, leading to gradual skin tightening over time. -
Laser Skin Treatments (e.g., Fractional CO2, Enlighten III):
Specific laser treatments can improve surface texture, promote collagen renewal, and assist with overall neck skin firmness. -
Injectable Collagen Stimulators (e.g., biostimulating injectables):
Injections that help encourage the body’s own collagen production in the neck area to improve skin structure and support.
The best non-surgical procedure for neck tightening depends on your individual anatomy, skin quality, and treatment goals. A consultation with one of our nurses is essential to develop a tailored plan.
Is a Non-Surgical Neck Lift Right for You?
Choosing between surgical and non-surgical options depends on:
-
Degree of skin laxity
-
Anatomical considerations
-
Desired outcomes
-
Recovery preferences
A comprehensive consultation can help assess your needs and recommend a tailored plan. In some cases, non-surgical treatments may be a suitable alternative to surgery, while others may benefit more from surgical intervention if they are comfortable with this approach.
