What Is a Turkey Neck?

Turkey neck is the sagging and wrinkled skin around the neck that occurs with age or excess weight. Most people notice the first signs of turkey neck around forty years old.

Your neck’s shape comes from the muscles, skin, and fat under the skin. As you age, your skin and muscle lose elasticity and strength, causing the skin on your neck to sag. In addition, excess fat can contribute to the sag, making it more noticeable.

Having sagging skin that defines a turkey neck isn’t a medical issue and doesn’t require a medical diagnosis. Instead, people treat turkey neck purely for cosmetic reasons.

What Causes Turkey Neck?

Sagging neck skin comes from two sources: weakened muscles and non-elastic skin. While these occur naturally with age, some contributing factors might make you more susceptible to turkey neck, including:

  • Age: Older people are more susceptible to turkey neck because of weakened muscles and less elastic skin.
  • Sun exposure: Sun exposure dries out the skin, causing it to lose its elasticity sooner.
  • Excess fat: Excess fat will stretch out the skin and make any sagging skin more noticeable.
  • Poor posture: Weakened muscles from poor posture and not using neck muscles are more likely to show turkey neck sooner.
  • Genetics: Some people are more prone to turkey necks because of their genetics.
  • Toxins: Toxins from the air, food, smoking, or lifestyle choices can contribute to turkey neck.
  • Some medications: Some medications cause fat to collect in the face and neck.
  • Bone structure: The shape of your neck bones and spine can make you more prone to developing a turkey neck.

While there are many contributing factors to the unwanted sagging of your neck, there are even more options to treat it, thanks to the help of Dr. Rose.

Can You Prevent Turkey Neck?

While you can’t change age and genetic factors, there are some steps you can take to maintain your skin’s health:

  • Eat Healthily: Maintain a healthy weight by eating a healthy diet.
  • Take Vitamins: Vitamins can improve your skin’s health and keep it elastic for much longer.
  • Exercise Regularly: Exercising reduces excess fat to prevent stretching your skin.
  • Exercise the Neck: Focus on neck exercises to target critical muscles holding your skin and fat in place.
  • Use Products: Protect and moisturize your skin with products to keep it elastic and moisturized.

8 Noninvasive Treatments for Turkey Neck in Vancouver

What is the best nonsurgical treatment for turkey neck?

Dr. Rose and the Hush Beauty Anti-Aging and Skin Care Centre team offer eight noninvasive options for treating turkey neck and its contributing factors.

Thread Lift

A thread lift for your turkey neck is a treatment that uses tiny threads to hold sagging skin around your neck and face in place. The threads also support your skin so it can hold any excess fat under your chin. A thread lift can also promote collagen production, which boosts your neck skin’s elasticity.

Thread lift is a long-lasting procedure that lasts one to two years. By following proper care of your skin and neck, you’ll see results longer. Then, return every few years for a touchup to retain your smooth neck.

FaceTite

FaceTite for turkey neck treatment uses radiofrequency energy to warm up the layers beneath your neck’s skin. This stimulates a natural fat-burning process where your body targets and removes excess fat around your chin and neck contributing to your neck’s sagging. It also stimulates collagen production, which improves your skin’s elasticity.

Over time, your skin will regain its form and smooth texture. In addition, the extra collagen helps your skin gain the elasticity it needs to tighten around the neck.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin

When you hear Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, you probably think of anti-aging facial treatments. However, they can also improve your neck’s appearance.

Injecting neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) in the neck area targets the platysmal bands that run the length of your neck up to your jaw. It helps relax those muscles so they don’t stick out in your neck, creating a turkey neck, and your skin lies naturally flat.

Mesotherapy

With Mesotherapy for turkey neck treatment, Dr. Rose injects vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and other natural, healthy ingredients into the skin around your neck and face to improve its quality and strength. Over time, your skin naturally tightens, reducing the turkey neck appearance.

Mesotherapy also breaks down any excess fat in your neck that might compound the issue of turkey neck to help your skin lay tighter across your neck.

Microneedling

Microneedling for turkey neck treatment creates tiny punctures in the skin around the neck and lower face to stimulate the body’s natural regenerative process. As the body moves to heal the small punctures, it also heals the surrounding skin around the neck by replacing old cells with newer cells. This can restore the neck skin’s elasticity and strength, so there’s less sagging.

Most people require several microneedling treatments to see the full impact on their turkey neck. While microneedling works well on its own, Dr. Rose also uses it alongside other turkey neck treatments to help the other treatments travel deeper within your skin for more effective results.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 treatment for turkey neck combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling for a deeper treatment option, especially for those with more pronounced turkey neck symptoms. The microneedling creates pathways for the radiofrequency energy to go deeper into your tissue for longer-lasting and more noticeable results. Microneedling also stimulates the body’s healing process to encourage it to replace the old cells in your neck skin with newer cells.

The radiofrequency energy heats the tissue below your neck’s skin to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin improve your neck skin’s elasticity and health, so it appears younger and with fewer wrinkles.
