At Transcend Rejuvenation, we believe in combining science, aesthetics, and care to help you restore confidence. Let’s explore the causes, non-surgical options, and advanced treatments available for turkey neck.
What Is Turkey Neck?
Turkey neck refers to loose, sagging skin and weakened neck muscles that create a wrinkled or drooping appearance.
- Causes include: natural aging, loss of collagen and elastin, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors.
- It can affect both men and women, often appearing earlier than facial wrinkles.
Can You Prevent Turkey Neck?
While aging is inevitable, preventive steps can slow down its progression:
- Sun protection: Daily use of SPF on the neck and décolletage.
- Healthy lifestyle: Balanced diet, hydration, and avoiding smoking.
- Skincare routine: Incorporating retinoids, peptides, and firming creams.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Turkey Neck
Neck Exercises
Gentle exercises may help strengthen neck muscles, though they cannot remove excess skin. Still, they can complement other treatments.
Cosmetic Treatments
- Botox or Dysport: Relax platysma bands that contribute to neck lines.
- Dermal Fillers: Restore volume and smooth wrinkles.
- Radiofrequency & Ultrasound Therapy: Stimulate collagen production for tighter skin.
Advanced Medspa Non-Surgical Treatments for Turkey Neck
At Transcend Rejuvenation, we offer non-invasive skin tightening treatments tailored to your needs. These procedures deliver gradual, natural-looking results without downtime.
Why PDO Threading Matters for Turkey Neck
- What it is: PDO (Polydioxanone) Threading involves inserting dissolvable sutures under the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas.
- Benefits:
- Immediate lifting effect with continued collagen stimulation over time.
- Minimally invasive, with little downtime compared to surgery.
- Works well for mild to moderate sagging under the chin and jawline.
- What it is: CO2 laser uses targeted beams to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate new collagen growth.
- Benefits:
- Improves skin texture, tightens loose skin, and reduces fine lines.
- Can be combined with other treatments (like fillers or threads) for enhanced results.
- Effective for patients with significant sun damage or crepey skin.
Surgical Options for Turkey Neck
For more dramatic improvement, plastic surgery may be recommended:
- Neck Lift: Removes excess skin and tightens underlying muscles.
- Liposuction: Targets stubborn fat under the chin.
- Combination Procedures: Often paired with facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Choosing the Right Treatment
The best approach depends on:
- Severity of sagging
- Skin quality and elasticity
- Desired results and recovery time
