The neck is one of the most delicate and difficult areas to treat, affected by a variety of reasons, it is becoming a crucial index of the ageing appearance along with dorsal hands.
Age, which is responsible for severe collagen and elastin reduction, combined with other factors, such as photoaging, genetic predispose, laxity, projection of platysma muscle bands and fluctuation of body weight, especially during midlife age, are the main reasons for the aged appearance of the neck. The neck, unlike the rest of the face, is proven harder to repair and restore.
Non-surgical treatments, alone or combined, such as Profhilo treatment, targeted fibroblast stimulation with hydroxyapatite, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, autologous cellular rejuvenation (PRP), threads, radio frequency, botulin toxin, nanofat grafting are effective and useful but when skin laxity appears to be more advanced, surgical intervention with face lift is needed.
