Nonsurgical Approaches to the Aging Neck

Nonsurgical neck rejuvenation treatments can create meaningful differences for patients while having less recovery time and risk of adverse effects when compared with surgical treatments. The choice of nonsurgical treatment should be tailored to the patient’s specific concerns, which can be categorized as (1) dyschromia, (2) horizontal neck lines, (3) platysmal banding, (4) skin laxity, and (5) submental fullness. The options for treatment are numerous and include cosmeceuticals ; chemical peels; intense pulsed light ; ablative and nonablative lasers; energy-based devices including microfocused ultrasound with visualization, monopolar capacitive-coupled radiofrequency, and radiofrequency microneedling; neuromodulators; fillers; deoxycholic acid ; cryolipolysis; and laser lipolysis .
