Unless you live your life exclusively in turtleneck sweaters, your neck is as visible and prominent as your face. That means the imperfections that appear on your neck can be as troublesome, frustrating, or embarrassing as those on your cheeks, eyes, lips, chin, or forehead.
Sagging skin is perhaps the biggest complaint people have about the look of their neck as they age. Loose skin and thick banding of the platysma muscle (which runs from clavicle to the chin) result in the issue often called “turkey neck.”
Surgical neck lifts, as with facelifts, are common ways to minimize the appearance of turkey neck and restore volume and firmness to the skin. But as badly as some folks want to address the less than ideal appearance of their neck, the thought of invasive surgery can be even less attractive.
Fortunately, non-surgical and minimally invasive alternatives exist that can dramatically improve the look of your neck without surgery. At Dr. Mariano Busso’s aesthetic dermatology clinic in Miami, we offer two effective, safe, and non-surgical neck tightening options: laser skin tightening and ThermiTight.
Laser Skin Tightening
Laser skin reduces the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging while tightening and lifting the skin on the neck for a younger and fuller appearance.
One of the advantages of laser skin tightening is the minimal amount of discomfort involved. That said, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to the treatment area to further reduce any pain.
In a laser neck tightening procedure, the physician uses a precision handpiece to apply short bursts of laser light to the neck. As noted, while laser tightening is significantly less painful than more invasive procedures, you may still experience some brief discomfort or a warming sensation around where the laser is applied. To make things more comfortable, we continually apply cool air to the skin.
In most cases, the physician will use the laser over the treatment area more than once, usually three times each session, which typically lasts from 30 minutes to an hour.
ThermiTight
ThermiTight uses thermal energy rather than laser light to reduce sagging and smooth the texture of the neck. The ThermiRF machine’s radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen production beneath the skin, and is the first aesthetic technique to reverse the effects of aging by delivering precision-controlled thermal energy beneath the surface of the skin.
Painless and minimally invasive, ThermiTight offers results comparable and often superior to other non-invasive procedures. We introduce a small radiofrequency fiber under the skin to safely heat target tissues in a controlled manner tightening skin and diminishing lumpy fat pockets. The procedure usually takes less than an hour, the results are immediate, and the appearance of your neck will continue to improve over time.

Cellulite is an insidious enemy. It can seem like no matter how much you exercise or how healthy you eat, those bumps, lumps, and dimples simply will not go away.

For the over 14 million Americans who live with rosacea, facial redness is a far cry from blushing. Rather than a reaction to embarrassment, this chronic condition is often a cause of it. Worse, rosacea is uncomfortable, often painful, and can be a regular and recurring annoyance, especially if you don’t do the right things, and avoid the wrong things, in your skincare, diet, and lifestyle.

You look at your lips and decide that you would like to enhance their volume and improve their appearance.

We’re pretty confident in guessing that if 100 guys are reading this post, only a handful of them at most have considered getting a facial, and even fewer have actually had one. For men, the idea of going to a spa – where new age music, mystery creams, serums, and masks, and who-knows-what-else awaits you – may have never crossed their mind. Or maybe the idea of improving their appearance does sound appealing, but the idea of getting a facial doesn’t square with their concept of masculinity.
Valentine’s Day may be all about love, but plenty of folks are not in love with their appearance as the holiday approaches. That doesn’t necessarily mean hating the way you look, but instead wanting to look your best for V-Day by reducing the visible signs of aging and other imperfections that all of us develop over time.

That why it remains the most common minimally invasive cosmetic procedure performed in the United States. Americans received 7,437,378 Botox injections in 2018, according to the
