An unfortunate side effect of the aging process is the wrinkles that form around the corners of the eyes, laugh lines and forehead. Though most people seek treatment to keep these wrinkles at bay, there is another area of the body that can show rapid signs of aging as well—the neck. The skin of the neck is delicate and fragile and constant exposure to sun, poor nutrition, certain sleeping positions, dehydration and pollution are some of the variants that can cause lines and wrinkles to appear.

There are ways to alleviate the look of neck wrinkles. Good nutrition, staying hydrated, and adopting a skincare system that includes the oft-neglected neck area are good beginning steps.

Dr. Eun Chun Han of ID Dermatology explains, “because the skin of the neck more delicate and also produces less oil than the skin of the face, aging can accelerate the formation of fine lines so receiving specialist care to combat this is recommended.”

Ulthera Quattro, a laser treatment that is receiving much attention as the secret weapon of celebrities to maintain clean and glowing complexions, goes deep within the skin to stimulate cells that increase elasticity, ultimately giving a lifting effect. With this treatment, results can be seen within 3-4 weeks of treatment and can last 1-2 years.

Han says, “Special attention should be given to the skin of the neck. Ultera helps skin damaged by the elements by restoring elasticity to effectively alleviate neck wrinkles.”
