Suited to those bothered by skin laxity under the chin or along the neck.
A fit for those who want visible firming without incisions or a lengthy recovery.
Most people describe a warming or tingling sensation during treatment rather than sharp pain. Devices that involve small incisions typically use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable, while non-invasive options may only require a topical numbing cream.
Results vary by method and individual skin quality, but many people enjoy firmer-looking skin for a year or more. Since the natural aging process continues, periodic maintenance or repeat sessions may help sustain results over time.
Non-invasive options often involve little to no downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities right away. Treatments that use small incisions may involve several days of swelling or bruising before you feel ready to resume your normal routine.
Neck and jowl tightening uses energy-based devices to stimulate collagen without removing excess skin, making it a good option for mild to moderate laxity. A surgical facelift addresses more significant sagging by removing skin and tightening underlying tissue, typically with a longer recovery.
Some non-invasive devices are designed for a single session, while others may recommend a short series spaced weeks apart for optimal results. Your provider will outline a specific plan during your consultation based on your skin and goals.
People with significant skin excess or more advanced sagging may not see their desired results from these treatments alone and might benefit more from a surgical consultation. A consultation helps determine whether a non-surgical option is appropriate for your anatomy.
