Our jawlines and neck area affect our facial appearance more than we may think. This is especially significant when the signs of aging start being visible around the neck area. Additionally having a double chin also affects your facial proportions and aesthetics. Neck aesthetics are a vital component of beauty and getting rid of loose skin around the neck and under the chin would require a surgical procedure. However, individuals seeking to improve the appearance of their neck contour and chin area but are not ready to go under the knife may want to consider a nonsurgical neck lift.
A minimally invasive neck lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that aims to reshape and rejuvenate the jawline and neck area without surgical intervention.
Benefits of a Nonsurgical Neck Lift
Although surgical neck lift is the gold standard for removing excess skin, tightening the loose skin, and reducing the appearance of bands on the neck area, the number of individuals seeking to change the appearance of their skin without invasive procedures is on the rise.
The results of minimally invasive or nonsurgical procedures are not as dramatic as surgical procedures. However, they can help improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of neck folds and wrinkles, and give the neck contour a more youthful look.
Other benefits of a nonsurgical neck lift include:
- Minimal risks
- Quicker recovery time
- Shorter procedure
- Immediate or almost immediate visible improvement in appearance
- Natural-looking results
Types of Nonsurgical Neck Lifts
The following is a list of nonsurgical neck lift procedures that are often used to improve the contour of the neck area:
- Botox. This is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The injections are used off-label along the neck and vertical neck bands to quiet movement along the neck and relax the downward pulling of the neck muscle. It is a quick painless procedure that does not require any downtime. The results last about 3-4 months and maintenance treatments are required.
- Dermal fillers. These can help to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and restore lost volume to the skin around the neck. They can also be used to rebuild jawline definition. The treatment results on the neck can last anywhere between 6-12 months.
- Kybella. Individuals who have accumulated a mild amount of fat under the chin and in the upper neck can opt for kybella to improve their necks contour. It metabolizes fat deposits. The results start being visible in 4-6 weeks and repeat procedures may be needed to achieve the desired results.
- Radiofrequency-based devices. Combining radiofrequency with microneedling helps to naturally reproduce elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid which improves the appearance of wrinkles and loose skin. Microneedling resurfaces the superficial layer of the skin and enhances the tightening effects of radiofrequency energy.
- Ultherapy. This treatment stimulates collagen production and creates more youthful-looking skin on the chin and neck area. It uses ultrasound energy with focused imaging to bypass the surface of the skin. This allows the skin esthetician to target the right amount, depths, and temperature to lift and support deeper skin layers. There is no downtime associated with Ultherapy and the results appear gradually over the next 2-3 months as the new collagen works to lift skin on the chin and neck areas.
