I have a "Sagging neck" I want treated?

QUESTION

"I have a saggy neck I want treated. can you please give me some advice"

ANSWER

"If your double chin is not related to your weight, it may be genetic in origin. Since Plasma Fibroblast unfortunately does not eliminate fat pockets under the neck, you can look at the following alternative treatments"

Neck and jaw lift

General - PLASMA - FIBROBLAST Tips for Neck and Jaw lift treatments

In depth explanation

Plasma fibroblast will be good for skin rejuvenation and some tightening for anti-aging. This treatment is specifically to tighten lose skin; therefore, you will see the best improvements on creepy loose skin. Sadly, it doesn't get rid of the fatty parts under the skin. But if there is any loose skin present, the skin layer over the fat areas will tighten.

If you do have loose skin in this area, Plasma fibroblast procedure for a jaw and neck lift will vary from person to person as healing and skin of each person are not alike. Some clients’ needs 2 to 3 sessions before they are satisfied with the result.

Loss of elastin and collagen

Over time, the skin in the cheeks and below the jawline loses much of its collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein that makes up the connective tissue in the body. Elastin is another connective tissue protein that lets the skin return to its normal shape even after being stretched.

As these proteins are lost, the cheek / neck skin surrounding this area loses its firmness and tightness. Once this happens, gravity causes it to sag and descend to the area on either side of the mouth/chin and neck area.

Genetics

Your genetics can also determine whether or not you develop jowls/double chin and how noticeable they become over time. If either of your parents have jowls/double chin, you’re more likely to develop them. If you naturally have thin skin or limited amounts of collagen and elastin in the skin, you may start to notice jowls/ double chin early in life. It’s possible to develop this as early as your teens or twenties.

Environmental and lifestyle factors

Other causes of jowls/double chin either come from your environment or result from your lifestyle choices.

‘These include:
  • · Facial expressions: Frequently making certain facial expressions can stretch out the face or neck skin.
  • · Weight loss: When you gain weight, your skin stretches to cover increased body mass. If you lose the weight, the stretched skin may sag.
  • · Sun exposure: Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight can damage the collagen in your skin. This can cause your skin to sag earlier.
  • · Smoking: Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes can damage collagen and elastin. Smoking can also cause your blood vessels to become narrow. This limits your blood’s circulation and prevents the skin from getting enough nutrients like vitamin A to keep it healthy.
  • · Using computers or phones: Using a computer or looking down at a smartphone for long periods of time can make the skin around your neck lose its elasticity over time. These jowls have been called “tech neck.”

What can I do to reduce my risk?

You may develop jowls/double chin because of factors out of your control. But there’s plenty you can do to help prevent jowls/double chin from developing or from sagging prematurely.

To prevent jowls/double chin

  • · Avoid smoking. The chemicals in cigarettes and other forms of tobacco can damage your skin.
  • · Limit your exposure to the sun. You should always apply sunscreen to your face and neck before heading out for the day. Make it a part of your morning routine to minimize damage from UV rays.
  • · Limit your screen time. Try to keep your head at a natural, comfortable angle when using a computer or phone to keep your neck skin from getting bunched up or stretched out. You can also protect your muscles by taking a 10-minute break for every hour of computer work that you do.

What if I already have jowls/double chin?

There are several options for treating sagging jowls/double chin or reducing how saggy or droopy they appear.

Surgical procedures, such as neck lifts, can tighten your skin and make it look less saggy. Nonsurgical procedures, such as Thermage, lasers, plasma fibroblast and peels, can change the composition of the collagen in your skin (but the skin tightening will be minimal). Fillers can be used to camouflage hollow areas around the jowls. You can also use clothing and makeup to conceal your double chin when you go out.

Surgical options

Surgical procedures to reduce the appearance of jowls/double chin are usually done in a hospital or the office of a cosmetic surgery specialist. Make sure to consult with the surgeon before scheduling your appointment so that you can get to know them and be confident that they’re qualified to do the procedure.

Surgical Neck lift or face lift


You’re placed under general anesthesia; Recovery takes a few days to a couple of weeks.

A neck lift, also called a lower rhytidectomy, is done by removing fat, tightening muscles, and rearranging the skin around your neck to shape the jawline.

In some cases, you may want to do a full facelift. This procedure removes fat, tightens muscle, and rearranges skin also on the lower part of your face so that your neck and face appear the same.

As with any surgical procedure, risks can include:

  • · bruises
  • · damage to nerves or muscles
  • · internal bleeding
  • · complications from anaesthesia
  • · swelling or improper healing
  • · sepsis

Liposuction

With liposuction, your surgeon uses a microcannula to remove fat from your chin area. They also reshape the skin and jawline to prevent future sagging.

You’re placed under general anaesthesia for this surgery and will likely spend a few days to a couple of weeks recovering from the procedure.

Risks can include:

  • bruises
  • · damage to nerves or muscles
  • · internal bleeding
  • · complications from anaesthesia
  • · swelling or improper healing
  • · sepsis

Nonsurgical options

Some treatments don’t require any surgical procedures and can be done in an outpatient facility. to address the fat pockets, e.g., Cool sculpting noninvasive or invasive surgery such as. Mesotherapy: Mesotherapy involves injecting compounds into the chin that dissolve fat.

These procedures typically have fewer risks. However, the results may not be as drastic.

Thermage jawline tightening

This procedure uses heat and radio frequency energy from a tool called the Therma tip to tighten the skin around your neck and chin. It can be done multiple times to ensure that the collagen in your skin stays tight. Recovery time is minimal, and the procedure can be done in a single day.

Risks of complications associated with this procedure, including infections, are low, but they may increase as you get older

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are made of a material called hyaluronic acid. This material can be injected into your neck and chin to fill in jowls and make them look less saggy. Some fillers can help your body produce more collagen to keep your skin-tight.
There are few risks associated with fillers besides infection.

Plasma Fibroblast jawline / neck tightening

This procedure is performed using a plasma pen using topical anaesthetic cream to numb the area. An electrical arc is discharged from the plasma pen without actually touching the skin. At the multiple places on the treated area where the plasma pen is used, the discharge leaves micro craters in the skin which heal in form of dots. The skin around the dots naturally shrinks to heal the micro craters. and help to produce more collagen which causes to tighten the skin around the neck and chin

It can be done multiple times to ensure that the collagen in your skin stays tight. Recovery time is minimal 5 to 10 days, and the procedure can be done in a single sitting.

While plasma fibroblast therapy can offer results, they aren’t likely to be as dramatic as a surgical procedure.

In addition, the procedure isn’t without side effects. Examples of normally temporarily side effects include:
  • · mild hypopigmentation (light spots)
  • · mild hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
  • · skin peeling, crusting and redness
For best results, you could combine plasma with radio frequency and microcurrent, and possibly HIFU.
