The Neck Knows: Best Treatments for Sagging Skin and Wrinkles

Aren't you always wondering how to care for your neck and fight sagging skin? I get asked all the time by my friends, so here are some deets on neck care. 

The neck often reveals what the face may hide—age. With thinner skin, less elasticity, and fewer oil glands, the neck is more susceptible to sagging and wrinkles. Thankfully, targeted treatments and proper care can restore confidence and help you maintain a youthful appearance. Here’s your ultimate guide to caring for the neck.

Why the Neck Needs Special Care

The skin on the neck is thinner and lacks the structure and oil production of facial skin, making it prone to:

• Sagging due to collagen loss.
• Wrinkles caused by repetitive motions like looking down at screens ("tech neck").
• Sun damage, often exacerbated by neglecting sunscreen.

Best Treatments for Sagging Neck Skin

1. Pellevé: Non-Invasive Tightening

• What It Does: Pellevé uses radiofrequency waves to gently heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production. This leads to tighter, smoother skin on the neck and jawline.
• Benefits: No downtime, suitable for mild to moderate sagging, and painless.
• How Often: A series of 3–5 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 6–12 months.

2. Ultherapy: Ultrasound Precision

• What It Does: Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas.
• Benefits: Non-invasive, long-lasting results (up to 1 year), and no downtime.
• Ideal For: Addressing mild to moderate sagging in the neck, under the chin, and along the jawline.

3. Thread Lifts

• What It Does: Dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin to lift and reposition sagging areas while stimulating collagen production.
• Benefits: Immediate results with collagen-building benefits over time.
• Ideal For: Moderate sagging and contour definition.

4. Neck-Specific Skincare

• Retinol: Boosts cell turnover and improves texture and elasticity.
• Peptides: Stimulate collagen production to firm the skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Deeply hydrates and plumps fine lines.

At-Home Tips for Neck Care

1. Extend Your Skincare Routine
   Always include your neck and décolletage in your cleansing, serum, and moisturizing steps. Products likeCaire’s Theorem Serum Boost andGrownup Moisturizer are excellent for stimulating collagen and locking in hydration.
   
   
2. Gua Sha for the Neck
   Using a gua sha stone or roller can enhance lymphatic drainage, boost circulation, and relax neck muscles, improving skin appearance over time.
   
   
3. Sunscreen Is Non-Negotiable
   The neck is often exposed to harmful UV rays. Make applying SPF 30+ to your neck a daily habit to prevent sun damage.
   
   
4. Posture Awareness
   Avoid looking down at screens for prolonged periods. Instead, hold devices at eye level to reduce strain on the neck.
