I'm Not Happy with My Sagging Neck: Can You Help?

There's no shortage of anti-aging treatments that target loose and wrinkled skin around the face, but these efforts can seem incomplete if you don’t get your neck in on the action.

An aging neck is equally as exposed as your face, so anti-aging treatments targeting this area can deliver great overall results that brilliantly support your efforts everywhere else.

The good news is that, when it comes to aging necks, the Skin Shop MedSpa team, including Dr. Tiffany Su and Dr. Hui “He” Kang, has you covered. In the following, we take a brief look at some of the amazing ways that we can lift and tighten aging necks.

Collagen-stimulating fillers

One of the main drivers of sagging skin in your neck is the natural loss and breakdown of collagen as you age. This loss only worsens, so taking action now to re-establish support through new collagen is an excellent approach for sagging neck skin.

This next step is where our collagen-stimulating filler — Radiesse® — comes in. This collagen stimulator includes ingredients that add volume to the skin and create a scaffold on which new collagen can adhere, lifting and tightening the skin around your neck and jowls for longer-lasting results.

Thanks to this dual action, collagen-stimulating fillers are becoming more popular — nearly one million of these treatments were performed in 2024 alone.

We also offer Rejuran® treatments, which are derived from salmon DNA. These injections also stimulate collagen production that can improve sagging skin.

Microneedling

Another way to tackle sagging neck skin is through microneedling, a procedure using tiny needles to stimulate collagen. We take microneedling to the next level with our Sylfirm X® and Venus Versa Pro™ radiofrequency (RF) microneedling systems, which deliver RF energy simultaneously as we make the tiny microchannels to lift and tighten aging skin in your neck.

PDO threads

At our practice, we’ve had great success using PDO threads to lift sagging neck skin. As the name suggests, we insert biodegradable surgical threads beneath the skin’s surface to lift sagging skin. 

Not only can PDO threads lift skin, they also create a framework of support under the surface where collagen can gather to provide further support.

Collagen peptides

Tackling aging necks from another angle, we can use collagen peptides, including PDRN and Ariessence™ pure PDGF+, across the surface of your skin to lift and tighten from the outside.

These collagen peptides stimulate skin regeneration and collagen.

Botox® injections

If the problem in your neck involves increasingly pronounced platysmal bands, Botox was recently approved by the FDA to reduce their appearance. With Botox, we can get rid of that ropey look in your neck that often develops with age.

So, you have plenty of options for addressing signs of aging in your neck, and we’re happy to discuss which treatment will work best for you.
