Treatments For Neck Wrinkles
In the war against aging, many people underestimate or outright neglect one of the most prominent enemies: neck wrinkles. It's not that they go unnoticed. In fact, scores of aging men and women complain of multiple chins, folds, lines, creping and the well-known "turkey gobbler" look. In truth, the neck is one of the areas most prone to the signs of aging--not only because the skin is thinner than on other parts of the body, but because of its constant battle with gravity and exposure to the sun. Luckily, the enemy can be subdued.
What Causes Neck Wrinkles?
Contrary to popular belief, neck wrinkles aren't always the result of chronological aging. It's true that the neck is one of the places hardest hit when fat is redistributed during aging, but there are other contributing factors, too. Poor nutrition, excess exposure to UV rays and a neglectful skin-care routine can also be causes of the unfortunate "gobbler" look. Ironically, while this look is due to the lack of an underlying fat structure, multiple chins and rings of neck wrinkles can be caused by too much fat.
Skin-Tightening Treatments
There are many treatments available to tighten sagging skin and wrinkles. Tightening procedures like Thermage, ContrAge and Titan all work on the same principle to tighten skin. Using lasers to stimulate collagen growth and contraction, these treatments successfully restore a look of youth and help to create a firmer jawline. The Chicago offices of AZSkinnovations.com offer the ContrAge tightening procedure and many other anti-aging treatments to combat neck wrinkles. Patients can schedule a free consultation to determine an individual treatment plan.
