Neck

While skin care products help maintain a youthful face, an individual’s age is all too often revealed by unsightly changes that are seen in the neck. In fact, many dermatologists believe that the neck has become one of the most neglected parts of the body.

The skin of the neck is very thin, and is constantly exposed to the merciless pounding of environmental agents and pollutants, including the ultraviolet (UV) rays that are primarily responsible for premature aging. Despite these ubiquitous stressors, many of us stop our skin-care regimes at our chins.

That’s why so many of us end up with youthfullooking faces sitting on top of older-looking necks.

As you grow older, your accumulated exposure to UV radiation and environmental pollutants cause the breakdown of healthy collagen fibers and the production of abnormal elastin. When enough of this damage accumulates, special enzymes called metalloproteinases are released.


These enzymes help remodel your sun-traumatized skin by manufacturing and rebuilding new collagen. Unfortunately, they do not always work very well, and some of them actually end up breaking down collagen instead. When your skin repeats this process over and over, it results in the formation of weak, disorganized collagen fibers that eventually collapse, causing your skin to droop.

All too often, the result is wrinkling and sagging skin, particularly in the neck.

The neck and jaw line are critically important features of the adult face, and telltale signs of advancing age are often first noticed in these areas. For this reason, the uniquely elegant procedures discussed below are targeted to produce a more youthful and natural look with minimally invasive, targeted therapy.
