An injector’s top picks for neck rejuvenation.
Next to your face, your neck is one of the first areas that can begin to show signs of aging. Don’t stress because we’ve got the 411 on three minimally invasive rejuvenation treatment options that’ll take years off your neck!
1. Timeless Neck- Restorative Treatment
Timeless Neck-Restorative Treatment uses Hyperdilute Radiesse, which is Radiesse diluted with a specific ratio of lidocaine and saline. Radiesse is a collagen biostimulator: this filler is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which makes it different from hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in that CaHA works with your body over time to restore collagen and elastin.
Why choose Timeless Neck- Restorative Treatment?
According to research, Hyperdilute Radiesse in the neck can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin quality, and promote skin tightening. Studies show that patients treated with Hyperdiluted Radiesse in the neck show “increased collagen and elastin production [and] improved skin elasticity.”¹ The procedure is minimally invasive and requires no downtime, and your body continues to stimulate collagen for 12-18 months.
Who is the Timeless Neck- Restorative Treatment for?
Patients who are beginning to see loose skin in the neck and patients who have mild to severe photodamage in the neck area.²
How does Hyperdilute Radiesse work?
When Radiesse is injected, its calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) gel matrix “create[s] a ‘scaffold’ that stimulates production of collagen and elastin. After injection, “the gel carrier breaks down [and] a firm network of collagen fibers form. Formed collagen and elastin replaces the correction provided by the gel carrier, smoothing lines and promoting renewed skin structure.”³
How often are Timeless Neck- Restorative Treatment sessions required?
1-3 treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome. Maintenance injections are recommended every 12-18 months.
What can I expect to spend on Timeless Neck- Restorative Treatment?
You can expect to spend $1,450+ at CULT Aesthetics.
2. Platysma Band Botox
The platysma bands are two muscles that run vertically down the neck. In some patients, these bands can become more prominent as a natural result of the aging process in conjunction with an overactive platysma muscle. We inject Botox, a neurotoxin, into the bands to decrease muscle activity and reduce movement and prominence.⁴ ⁵
Why choose Platysma Band Botox?
Studies show that Botox produces excellent results when treating the platysma bands, significantly lessening their appearance; the Botox procedure is easy, quick, and requires no downtime.
Who is Platysma Band Botox for?
Patients who are primarily concerned with hyper-prominent platysmal bands.
How does Platysma Band Botox work?
When Botox is injected into the bands, it temporarily paralyzes this area of the muscle and decreases the prominence of the bands.
How often are Platysma Band Botox required?
Expect maintenance appointments every 3-4 months.
What can I expect to spend on Platysma Band Botox?
Botox priced by unit; average cost is $468+ at CULT Aesthetics.
3. Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation technique that creates micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin repair without damaging the epidermis.⁶
Why choose Microneedling?
Microneedling improves the appearance of neck wrinkles and the overall appearance and texture of the skin.
Who is Microneedling for?
Patients concerned with skin texture and skin laxity should opt for this treatment combo.
How does Microneedling work?
Microneedling is performed using microneedles that penetrate the stratum corneum layer of the skin, which is deep in the epidermis. These micro punctures become collagen and elastin stimulation sites as the body releases growth factors as part of the wound-healing process.⁸
How often is Microneedling required?
Microneedling treatments are recommended at 4-6 week intervals. Multiple sessions are required for maximum results. Results will continue to develop over the next 6 months.
What can I expect to spend on Microneedling?
Microneedling starts at $499 at CULT Aesthetics.
