How to De-Age Your Neck: Top Treatments and Skincare Essentials

Environmental factors like sun exposure accelerate neck ageing. The neck is frequently overlooked when applying sunscreen, even though UVA rays penetrate deeply, breaking down collagen and elastin over time. This can lead to pigmentation, fine lines, and a weakened skin structure. Daily application of SPF 30 or higher can help to protect against these effects.

Genetics and hormonal changes, especially during the menopause can further reduce collagen levels, making the skin on the neck thinner and more prone to wrinkles and that’s when you might find the “crepey” texture often associated with ageing. Despite these factors, with the right treatments and consistent care, it’s possible to maintain a firmer, more youthful-looking neck for longer.

Recommended Aesthetic Treatments for Neck Ageing

When it comes to reversing signs of neck ageing, our professional aesthetic treatments at Appearance Based Medicine can provide impactful, targeted results. Here are three of the most effective treatment options:

1. ENDYMED Intensif: Endymed Intensif is a minimally invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency with microneedling to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. By delivering controlled heat energy below the surface, this treatment tightens and firms loose skin on the neck, improves skin texture, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Ideal for those experiencing sagging and ‘crepey’ skin, Endymed Intensif is a course of three treatments that works to rejuvenate the neck with visible, lasting results.
2. Profhilo: Profhilo is an injectable treatment that deeply hydrates and remodels the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Made with hyaluronic acid, Profhilo spreads evenly beneath the skin’s surface, plumping and firming the neck for a smoother, more youthful appearance. This treatment is particularly effective for improving elasticity and reducing the crepey texture that often appears with ageing.
3. Wrinkle Relaxing Treatments for Necks: A highly effective injectable treatment for relaxing the platysma muscle, which can become more pronounced with age and create visible bands on the neck. This non-surgical treatment is called the ‘Nefertiti lift’ and is named after the Egyptian Queen Nerfertiti who was known for her sculpted jawline and elongated neck. By softening the muscle’s tension, the treatment minimises these lines and restores a smoother, more streamlined neck contour. This treatment can also reduce the appearance of sagging, offering a refreshed look. 

5 Quick Tips for a Youthful Neck:

Cleanse Daily
Keep your neck fresh by cleansing each evening to remove daily pollutants and impurities. A gentle, hydrating cleanser works best to prepare the skin for treatments.

Apply SPF Daily
Sun exposure is a top cause of neck ageing. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day to protect against UVA rays which break down collagen and elastin, leading to sagging and wrinkles.

Hydrate with Hyaluronic Acid
Keep your neck moisturised with a hyaluronic acid serum to encourage hydration, reducing fine lines and creating a smoother, plumper skin texture.

Boost Collagen with Retinol
Retinol stimulates collagen, helping improve elasticity and smooth out fine lines. Start with a gentle formula, as neck skin is delicate, and build up usage gradually.

Use a Neck-Specific Cream
A cream formulated specifically for the neck often contains peptides and ceramides to support elasticity and strengthen the skin barrier—something regular face creams may not provide. We recommend NeckPerfect Complex, a revolutionary anti-ageing formula that transforms the neck, jawline, and décolleté, making them appear more lifted, tightened, and defined. With regular use, it visibly smooths lines, enhances skin tone and texture, and creates a contoured, youthful look. 

Achieving a youthful neck is achievable by combining advanced treatments such as Endymed Intensif, Profhilo, and Wrinkle Relaxing Treatments with daily skincare habits. These approaches, tailored to your unique needs, will help to both rejuvenate and protect the delicate neck area.
