The face often gets all the attention—but the neck tells the real story. As collagen declines and skin loses elasticity, the neck can show signs of aging even earlier than the face. Think sagging, crepey texture, horizontal neck lines, and fullness under the chin. Sound familiar?
At Greenspring Medical Aesthetics, we offer a range of non-surgical neck rejuvenation treatments to tighten, smooth, and lift the neck area—restoring youthful definition from chin to collarbone.
TLDR – Quick Guide
- The neck ages due to collagen loss, sun exposure, repetitive motion, and weakened muscles.
- Non-surgical treatments like Ultherapy, injectables, RF microneedling, and skin tightening lasers can effectively address sagging and lines.
- A customized combination of therapies often delivers the best, most natural-looking results.
Why the Neck Ages Faster Than You Think
The skin on your neck is thinner and has fewer oil glands, making it more prone to dehydration and breakdown. Combined with constant movement (hello, tech neck) and sun exposure, this area is highly vulnerable to:
- Fine lines and horizontal creases
- Skin laxity and “turkey neck” appearance
- Vertical banding due to platysma muscle strain
- Submental fullness (double chin)
