Neck Tightening

CONVENIENTLY LOCATED TO SERVE ALHAMBRA, ALTADENA, ARCADIA, BURBANK, GLENDALE, AND HIGHLAND PARK

As we age, environmental factors, sun exposure, and the natural aging process can lead to loose, sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles around the neck area. Since the skin on the neck is thinner and more delicate, it tends to show signs of aging earlier than other parts of the body.

At Metropolis Dermatology in Pasadena, CA, we offer a range of advanced non-surgical neck tightening treatments. Our approach includes options such as Genius RF Microneedling, Platysmal Band Injections, Botox®, and Sculptra® to firm, rejuvenate, and smooth the neck without requiring surgery. Book a consultation today to discover the ideal neck-tightening treatment that fits your needs.

What is Neck Tightening?

Neck tightening treatments are designed to restore firmness and elasticity by targeting skin laxity, fine lines, and volume loss. Depending on the individual’s specific concerns, we offer non-surgical solutions that promote collagen production, relax overactive neck muscles, and restore lost volume for a rejuvenated, youthful neck contour.

Our personalized treatment plans may include:

  • Genius RF Microneedling – Stimulates collagen to tighten and firm the skin.
  • Platysmal Band Injections (Botox®) – Softens vertical neck lines for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
  • Sculptra® Injections – Enhances collagen regeneration and restores lost volume, providing long-term rejuvenation.

 

Benefits of Non-Surgical Neck Tightening

  • Non-invasive or minimally invasive – Achieve noticeable results without the need for surgery.
  • Long-lasting collagen production – Enjoy continued skin improvement as collagen levels rise.
  • Enhances skin texture and tone – Smoothens fine lines, reduces crepey skin, and improves overall texture.
  • Safe for all skin types – Customizable treatments are designed for safe and effective outcomes for all skin tones.
  • Natural-looking results – Experience gradual, subtle improvements for a refreshed, more youthful neck.

 

Advanced Treatments for Neck Tightening 

Microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) for Skin Tightening

RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling. This treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production deep within the skin, tightening loose neck skin and enhancing overall texture.

Benefits of RF Microneedling:

  • Tightens sagging skin for a more contoured neckline.
  • Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles through increased collagen production.
  • Improves skin elasticity and texture over time.
  • Works deep within the skin for gradual, natural enhancements.

This treatment is ideal for patients experiencing mild to moderate neck laxity and looking for a non-surgical way to rejuvenate their neck contour.

How It Works:

  • Preparation & Numbing – The neck area is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
  • Microneedling & RF Energy Delivery – Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries while RF energy penetrates deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
  • Tissue Tightening & Remodeling – Over time, new collagen tightens and firms the skin, improving the neck’s texture and contour.
  • Gradual & Long-Lasting Results – Collagen builds over weeks, leading to a natural lift without the need for surgery.

 

Platysmal Band Injections (Botox®) for Neck Wrinkles

Platysmal bands are vertical neck lines that become more prominent with age. Botox® injections are an effective, non-surgical treatment for relaxing these overactive muscles, softening the appearance of these lines.

Benefits of Platysmal Band Injections:

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

This treatment provides quick, natural-looking results with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for neck rejuvenation.

How It Works:

  • Muscle Relaxation – Small injections of Botox® or Dysport® are carefully administered into the platysma muscle to relax overactive bands.
  • Reduction of Vertical Neck Lines – As the muscle relaxes, the vertical lines soften, revealing a more youthful neck contour.
  • Quick & Minimally Invasive – This procedure is quick, requires no downtime, and provides visible improvements within a few weeks.

 

Sculptra® Injections for Neck Rejuvenation

Sculptra® is a biostimulatory filler that helps restore lost volume in the neck while enhancing collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra® gradually improves the skin’s firmness and elasticity, offering long-lasting rejuvenation.

Benefits of Sculptra®:

  • Restores lost volume, improving the skin’s structure and support.
  • Stimulates collagen growth, leading to progressive skin tightening.
  • Enhances skin texture and reduces crepey skin and fine lines.

Sculptra® is perfect for individuals experiencing thinning or sagging skin in the neck area and is particularly effective in rejuvenating the neck’s appearance.

 

How It Works:

  • Collagen Stimulation – Sculptra® is injected into areas with volume loss, restoring structure and elasticity.
  • Gradual Volume Restoration – Over weeks, the treatment stimulates collagen levels, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.
  • Long-Lasting Results – Results continue to improve for up to two years, with a natural and gradual enhancement.
