Is Your Neckline Aging You?

In our last blog post, we explored how you can address an aging neckline through surgical techniques. Yet, we understand that not all of our patients are ready nor need surgical rejuvenation. Many patients are bothered by their skin’s appearance and feel it makes them appear older. When wanting to address the skin itself, non-surgical rejuvenation is a wonderful way for patients to restore their skin to a younger and healthier appearance.

Non-Surgical Options for Neckline Rejuvenation

Chemical Peels

By deeply exfoliating the outermost layers of the skin, a chemical peel removes damaged surface skin cells—revealing a fresh and vibrant complexion. Chemical peels can be applied to the face, neck, and chest, and are perfect for those with rough, dry, dull, or uneven skin.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Using laser technology, skin resurfacing removes and rids your skin of damaged skin cells. Stimulating the body’s natural production of new skin cells, laser resurfacing helps to refine fine lines, tighten crepe-like skin, and remove sun (brown) spots. We have a number of different laser treatments available at our multiple Southern California practices, including laser skin resurfacing, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), and V-Beam® Laser.

Medical Skincare

UCI Plastic Surgery’s skin specialists remind patients that good skin is made at home. Fortunately, skincare products from Obagi® make for the perfect complement to your in-office treatment. To combat fine lines and wrinkles, look for higher concentration of age-reversing ingredients like retinol. Make sure you are keeping your skin protected from the California sun. We recommend that you apply Obagi’s Sun Shield Tint. Offering natural coverage, Sun Shield’s broad spectrum SPF 50 protection will defend your skin from both UVA and UVB radiation.
