What is a Turkey Neck?
A “turkey neck” is a colloquial term used to describe a common aging-related concern involving the appearance of loose or sagging skin and muscle tissue in the neck area. It is called a “turkey neck” because the sagging skin may resemble the loose skin that hangs down from a turkey’s neck. Fortunately, there are turkey neck treatment options to help improve the look of a turkey neck or neck wrinkles.
What can cause Turkey Neck?
Several factors contribute to the development of a turkey neck:
- Aging: As people age, the skin loses elasticity, and the muscles in the neck may weaken. This can lead to sagging and the formation of wrinkles and folds.
- Sun Damage: Prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can accelerate skin aging, including the loss of skin elasticity in the neck area.
- Genetics: Genetics can play a role in determining the rate at which an individual’s skin ages and how prone they are to sagging in the neck area.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, poor diet, and inadequate skincare can contribute to premature skin aging, potentially leading to the development of a turkey neck.
Turkey Neck Treatment
A turkey neck can be a cosmetic concern for many people, as it can make them look older than they feel. Turkey Neck treatment options may include:
- Neck Lift Surgery: A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the neck area, as well as tightening the underlying muscles to improve the contour and firmness of the neck.
- Non-Surgical Treatments: Plasma Fibroblast on the neck is a great way to tighten the neck, increasing collagen production and elasticity smoothing the signs of ageing. Plasma energy arcs create microscopic dots across the skin’s surface. This instantly contracts loose skin to visibly lift and tighten. When administered correctly only grazing the surface layer of the skin using plasma to cause contraction, the controlled minuscule trauma caused to the surface layer of skin will accelerate the bodies healing properties and increase collagen productivity in the area improving the result for 3-6 months post treatment depending on age, lifestyle & severity of the area of concern, results last up to 5 years. Scar treatments using the fibroblast method are permanent.
-
Another great way to tighten the neck is RF Skin tightening. RF skin tightening is a method that uses radio frequency energy to heat the skin which stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production to reduce the appearance of loose skin and fine lines. Between 6-12 treatments are recommended.
-
Lifestyle Modifications: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, staying hydrated, and protecting the skin from the sun, can help slow down the progression of skin aging and may improve the appearance of the neck.
-
Topical Skincare Products: Certain skincare products containing ingredients like retinoids, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants can help improve skin texture and firmness. Shop skincare at Kalana Skin.
