Introduction
Neck care is often overlooked, yet the neck is one of the most revealing areas when it comes to aging. Neglected neck skin gradually develops wrinkles and begins to sag with age. Even if your facial skin looks youthful, once your neck is exposed, your true age becomes apparent, instantly adding years to your appearance.
At Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic, we understand that neck care often takes a back seat in skincare routines, making it one of the most overlooked areas when it comes to aging. Yet, the neck is a prominent indicator of age. Neglecting neck skin leads to the gradual emergence of neck wrinkles and sagging. Even if your facial skin is as youthful as can be, your neck can instantly give away your age, making you look years older.
Visible Signs of Neck Aging
Our neck rejuvenation services are designed to address various signs of neck aging, including:
Horizontal Neck Lines
These are circular lines that can encircle the neck. Horizontal neck lines can be a result of natural aging and are often one of the earliest indicators of neck aging.
Vertical Neck Lines
These typically appear in individuals over the age of 40 as vertical, fine lines extending from the neck down to the throat and collarbone.

Loose and Sagging Neck Skin
The neck has minimal subcutaneous fat and strong platysma muscles. With age, neck skin can begin to sag and may lead to the appearance of a loose double chin.
Platysmal Bands/Turkey Neck
These bands, also known as neck bands or turkey neck, develop when horizontal and vertical neck lines have become prominent, and the skin of the neck sags. They are often observed in individuals over the age of 46.
Factors Contributing to Neck Aging
-
Congenital Factors: Some individuals may have noticeable neck wrinkles from childhood, often due to fetal muscle development.
-
Thinner Skin: Neck skin is thinner than facial skin and contains less collagen. Its greater elasticity, designed to support head movement, results in more frequent collagen loss, leading to an increased formation of wrinkles.
-
Skin Aging: Neck aging is predominantly due to skin aging. Collagen reduction in both the epidermal layer and subcutaneous tissues and connective tissues plays a significant role. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and supporting connective tissues, and as it diminishes, elastic fibers in the skin break, causing sagging.
-
UV Damage: Prolonged exposure to UVA rays from the sun accelerates skin aging, causing photoaging. These rays deform and damage elastic fibers in neck skin.
-
Obesity: Excess neck fat increases the thickness of subcutaneous neck tissue due to fat accumulation, which adds more skin folds and worsens neck wrinkles.
-
Neck Movement Habits: Prolonged periods of desk work, smartphone usage, reading with the head down, poor posture, and using high pillows while sleeping can cause neck skin's elastic fibers to break and become lost.
Treatments
Profhilo®
Profhilo® is the latest-generation hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable filler, known for its remarkable purity. It stimulates fibroblast cells within the dermal layer, promoting increased collagen and elastin production. This treatment enhances the skin's elasticity and firmness, effectively rejuvenating the neck from within.
Dermal Filler for Neck Lines
Our Dermal Filler for Neck Lines addresses deep neck wrinkles by injecting hyaluronic acid or other dermal fillers beneath the neck skin. This replenishes the lost subcutaneous volume, smoothing out neck wrinkles.
Soft Thread Lift
The Soft Thread Lift offers an immediate skin-tightening and wrinkle-removing effect. This procedure involves implanting thin, absorbable PDO protein lifting threads deep into the skin to lift sagging skin, tighten loose neck skin, and smooth neck wrinkles.
