Neck Tightening

CONVENIENTLY LOCATED TO SERVE Newport Beach, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Fountain Valley, Aliso Viejo and Laguna Niguel

Over time, aging, sun exposure, and environmental factors can lead to loose skin, fine lines, and wrinkles in the neck area. Because the skin on the neck is thinner and more delicate, it often shows signs of aging earlier than other areas.

At Metropolis Dermatology in Costa Mesa, CA, we offer a comprehensive approach to neck tightening, including Genius RF Microneedling, Platysmal Band Injections, Botox®, and Sculptra® to firm, smooth, and rejuvenate the neck without surgery. Book a consultation today to find the best neck-tightening treatment for you.

What is Neck Tightening?

Neck tightening treatments work to restore firmness and elasticity by targeting skin laxity, wrinkles, and volume loss. Depending on the severity of concerns, we offer non-surgical solutions that stimulate collagen, relax overactive neck muscles, and restore lost volume for a youthful, contoured neckline. Our customized treatment plans may include:

  • Genius RF Microneedling – Tightens and firms skin through collagen stimulation.
  • Platysmal Band Injections (Botox®) – Softens vertical neck bands for a smoother appearance.
  • Sculptra® Injections – Restores lost volume and enhances collagen regeneration for long-term rejuvenation.

 

Benefits of Non-Surgical Neck Tightening

  • Non-invasive or minimally invasive – Achieve visible results without surgery.
  • Long-lasting collagen production – Treatments continue to improve skin over time.
  • Enhances skin texture & tone – Reduces fine lines, crepey skin, and uneven texture.
  • Safe for all skin types – Customizable treatment plans ensure safe, effective results for all skin tones.
  • Natural-looking enhancements – Provides gradual improvements for refined, youthful contours.

Advanced Treatment Options for Neck Tightening

Genius RF Microneedling for Skin Tightening

Genius RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. This process tightens loose skin and improves overall texture for a firmer, lifted neck.

Benefits of Genius RF Microneedling:

  • Tightens loose skin for a more contoured neckline.
  • Smooths fine lines and wrinkles by increasing collagen production.
  • Improves skin elasticity and texture over time.
  • Works beneath the surface for gradual, natural improvements.

This treatment is ideal for reducing mild to moderate neck laxity and providing a more youthful, refined neck contour.

How It Works 

  1. Preparation & Numbing – The neck area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
  2. Microneedling & RF Energy Delivery – Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries, while RF energy penetrates deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
  3. Tissue Tightening & Remodeling – Over time, new collagen tightens and firms the skin, improving neck contour and texture.
  4. Gradual & Long-Lasting Results – Skin continues to improve over several weeks as collagen builds, offering a natural lift without surgery.

 

Platysmal Band Injections (Botox®) for Neck Wrinkles

For individuals experiencing prominent platysmal bands (vertical neck lines that become more visible with age), Botox® injections offer an effective non-surgical solution.

Benefits of Platysmal Band Injections: 

  • Relaxes overactive neck muscles, reducing the appearance of vertical bands.
  • Creates a smoother, more contoured neckline.
  • Enhances results when combined with skin-tightening treatments.

This treatment provides quick, natural-looking results with no downtime, making it a popular choice for refining the neck’s appearance.

 

How It Works

  1. Muscle Relaxation Treatment – Small injections of Botox® or Dysport® are administered directly into the platysma muscle to relax overactive bands.
  2. Reduction of Vertical Neck Lines – As the muscle relaxes, visible bands soften, creating a smoother, more youthful neckline.
  3. Quick & Minimally Invasive – This non-surgical procedure requires no downtime and delivers visible improvements within a few weeks, with results lasting several months.

 

Sculptra® Injections for Neck Rejuvenation

Sculptra® is a biostimulatory filler that enhances collagen production and restores lost volume in areas affected by aging. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® gradually improves skin firmness and elasticity, providing long-lasting rejuvenation.

 

Benefits of Sculptra® for Neck Tightening:

  • Restores lost volume, improving skin structure and support.
  • Stimulates natural collagen growth, leading to progressive skin tightening.
  • Improves skin texture, reducing crepey skin and fine lines.

Sculptra® is an excellent option for patients with noticeable thinning or sagging skin on the neck.

 

How It Works

  • Collagen Stimulation Treatment – Sculptra® is injected strategically into areas of volume loss to restore structure and elasticity.
  • Gradual Volume Restoration – Over several weeks, the treatment boosts collagen levels, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
  • Long-Lasting Effects – Sculptra® provides gradual and natural-looking improvements that can last up to two years.
