Get Rid of Your Turkey Neck with Morpheus8™ Treatment

The neck is an area that is often neglected when it comes to skin care and protection, leading to the development of unwanted signs of aging and skin damage for many people. Fortunately, advancements in cosmetic procedures provide effective solutions to address these concerns. At Life Care for Women in Gilbert, AZ, board-certified OB/GYN and aesthetic provider Dr. Linda I. Sodoma offers Morpheus8 radiofrequency (RF) microneedling as an effective option for tightening and smoothing an aged neck.

Why do I have a saggy neck?

A saggy neck, sometimes referred to as a "turkey neck," is a common consequence of aging. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, and the muscles and tissues in the neck area may weaken, leading to the formation of loose and sagging skin. Other factors such as sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle choices can contribute to the development of sagging neck skin.

How can I tighten my loose neck skin?

For those looking to tighten loose neck skin, Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatment presents an innovative and effective solution. This nonsurgical skin rejuvenation treatment is particularly suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity. While RF microneedling can often improve loose neck skin, it is essential to note that patients with a significant amount of excess, hanging skin, or advanced skin laxity may be better suited for a surgical neck lift.

What is RF microneedling?

RF microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Morpheus8, a leading RF microneedling device, uses tiny needles to create tiny, pinpoint injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering controlled radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, promoting skin tightening and rejuvenation.

What is the difference between regular microneedling vs. RF microneedling?

While traditional microneedling creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production, the addition of RF energy in Morpheus8 takes the treatment to the next level. The RF energy enhances the effects of microneedling by delivering heat to the deeper layers of the skin. This not only boosts collagen production but may also provide results that continue to improve over time as collagen supplies build. RF microneedling is particularly effective in addressing skin laxity and promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Will my neck be smoother after RF microneedling?

Yes, one of the primary outcomes of Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatment is the improvement in skin texture and tightness. Patients often experience a noticeable reduction in sagging skin, resulting in a smoother and more rejuvenated neck area. Again, however, patients should keep in mind that a prominent turkey neck with a great deal of hanging skin may be better addressed with surgery.

Where else can Morpheus8 microneedling be used?

Morpheus8 microneedling is not limited to the neck. It can be effectively used on various areas of the face and body. Common treatment areas include:

• Face
• Jawline
• Neck
• Chest
• Arms
• Abdomen
• Thighs

This versatility makes Morpheus8 a comprehensive solution for overall skin tightening and rejuvenation.
