Turkey Neck Treatment ā How Does Turkey Neck Develop?
Turkey neck doesnāt appear overnight ā itās the result of biological changes in the skin combined with lifestyle and environmental factors. While some people see early signs in their 30s, it often becomes more visible in the 40s, 50s, and beyond.
The causes are listed below but the reality is you clicked this post because you want a solution. We have you covered.
Surgical and Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation Treatments:
*Surgical Neck Lift:
Considered the gold standard for severe turkey neck. Surgeons remove excess skin and tighten muscles.
Results can last 10 years or more, but at a high cost (Ā£7,000āĀ£10,000 in the UK).
Recovery takes 4ā6 weeks, with risks of scarring, infection, nerve damage, and uneven healing.
*Laser Resurfacing & Microneedling:
These treatments stimulate collagen by wounding the skin surface.
Improvements are mild to moderate, often requiring 3ā6 sessions for noticeable change.
Results are not as dramatic for severe sagging.
*Ultrasound or Radiofrequency Skin Tightening:
Non-invasive treatments like Ultherapy use focused energy to heat the skin and stimulate collagen.
Results appear gradually over 2ā6 months and last 1ā2 years.
Safe, but many clients find results subtle compared to expectations.
*Plasma Pen: The Future of Turkey Neck Treatment
The Plasma Pen is a breakthrough non-surgical device that delivers plasma energy to the skin, creating controlled micro-trauma that stimulates fibroblasts. These cells produce new collagen and elastin, strengthening the skin naturally.
Benefits of Plasma Pen for Turkey Neck
*Non-invasive ā no scalpels, stitches, or injectables
*Precise tightening of jawline and neck
*Minimal downtime (5ā7 days)
*Long-lasting results (2ā4 years or more)
*Safe and natural ā results come from your bodyās own healing response
Causes of Turkey Neck:
Loss of Collagen and Elastin
Collagen and elastin are the two proteins that keep skin firm, elastic, and youthful. Starting in your mid-20s, your body produces about 1% less collagen every year. By the time you reach 50, you may have lost up to 30% of your natural collagen supply. Elastin production also declines sharply and is not replenished as we age.
Weakened Platysma Muscle
The platysma is the broad, thin muscle that runs vertically from the jawline down the neck. Over time, the platysma weakens and begins to separate, forming vertical bands that pull the skin downward. These āneck bandsā are one of the most recognizable signs of turkey neck. This is escalated by use of neurotoxins on the neck.
Gravityās Pull
Gravity is a subtle but powerful force that acts on our skin every day. As collagen and elastin decline, the skin can no longer resist this pull effectively. Studies show that skin elasticity decreases by up to 0.55% per year after age 30, making it less able to ābounce back.ā This explains why sagging accelerates over time, particularly along the jawline and under the chin.
Sun Damage (Photoaging)
Dermatology research suggests that up to 80% of visible skin aging is caused by sun exposure. UV rays damage collagen fibers and trigger the production of abnormal elastin. Over years, this process ā known as photoaging ā results in thinner, weaker, and wrinkled skin.
