Botox for the Neck: A New Indication
Botox isn’t just for wrinkles—it’s now the first and only product of its kind that is FDA-approved to treat the neck. Over time, vertical neck bands (also known as platysmal bands) become more pronounced, creating an aged appearance. Botox injections relax these muscles, smoothing the bands and providing a tighter, more youthful look. This non-surgical treatment can significantly enhance the neck’s contour and improve overall skin laxity with little to no downtime.
IPL for Sun Damage & Color Correction
Poikiloderma, a mix of brown and red pigmentation caused by sun damage, is commonly seen on the neck and chest.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment that will reduce discoloration. Light energy is absorbed by the brown spots and broken blood vessels in the skin bringing the discoloration to the surface and causing it to peel away and restore an even skin tone. A series of IPL sessions can reverse years of sun damage and enhance the skin’s overall radiance.
Microneedling for Collagen Stimulation
As we age, collagen production slows down, and elastic fibers break down from sun damage, leading to thinner, less elastic skin on the neck and décolletage.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that causes micro-injuries to the skin that lead to the production of your skin’s growth factors, stimulating natural collagen production. This process leads to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling is an excellent option for those looking to improve fine lines, skin laxity, and overall texture without the need for more invasive procedures.
Kybella for Neck & Submental Fullness
A well-defined jawline and smooth neck contour are essential for a youthful appearance.
Kybella, an FDA-approved injectable treatment, targets and dissolves stubborn fat under the chin (submental fullness) for a more sculpted profile. By permanently destroying fat cells, Kybella provides long-lasting results without the need for surgery.
This treatment is ideal for those looking to refine their neckline and achieve a more contoured appearance.
