Why Does The Neck’s Skin Get Saggy?

“Turkey neck,” “double chin”, “neck wattle,” – Those are the common nicknames for saggy neck skin. This condition is quite inevitable as it is a result of genetics and aging, the two things we don’t really have control over.

The skin on the neck is muscularly weaker, thinner and drier than facial skin, which means it’s more prone to aging. While most people are particular about caring for their facial skin, not many extend that level of care to their neck. Protecting the skin on the neck from the sun’s UV rays is crucial and this is something most of us neglect as well.

Many people feel that if they have saggy skin on their necks, it’s a lost cause. But that isn’t really the case. The fortunate part is that there are options apart from surgery that can help tighten loose skin and we at Lasair offer some of these.

Treatment Options To Tighten Neck Skin

• Neck Creams-You get creams that are specially formulated for use on the neck. These are far heavier than standard face creams, and their key ingredients are available in higher volumes than the latter. The Amino Acids, Alpha-Hydroxy Acids, and Retinoids in them help to add tone and lift the aging neck skin.

• Silicone Patches- These patches are made of medical-grade silicone that adheres the neck skin. It helps to tone, hydrate and tighten the very delicate skin. You need to apply these patches for up to three hours or overnight for best results.

• Ultrasound Therapy– This is a non-invasive treatment that is effective in tightening sagging neck skin. It works wonders in mild and moderate cases. The healing response that it triggers gives the skin a regenerated and lifted look.

• Microneedling– This is a dermatological treatment in which tiny needles are rolled over the skin repeatedly. It inflicts minimal injuries over the surface of the neck, stimulating healing while encouraging cell turnover and helping to tighten loose skin.

Which Treatment Is Best To Tighten Neck Skin?

While all of these are effective treatments in their own way, you must get advice from a professional about which one would work best for you. Skilled and experienced experts will assess your skin type and understand your lifestyle to help you determine which one is right for your skin. You may have to get some of these treatments at regular intervals for the best results.
