3 Laser Treatments That Help Improve Neck Wrinkles at a Dermatology Clinic in Seocho-gu

Have you ever looked in the mirror and sighed because your face is firm but your neck has especially deep wrinkles? When discussing lifting or anti-aging treatments in the clinic, many patients invest generously in facial skin care but end up giving up on neck wrinkles, thinking they are simply an unavoidable sign of aging. “My face improved after treatment, but my age still shows because of my neck wrinkles.” “I want to wear necklaces, but I’m worried the wrinkles will stand out.” “I think sleeping on a high pillow made the horizontal lines much deeper.”​

The neck is often called a person’s age rings, and it is indeed one of the first areas to show aging and one of the hardest to improve once wrinkles form. Since they are not easily covered even with makeup, they can be quite stressful for patients. However, neck wrinkles can improve significantly if their causes and types are identified accurately and appropriate energy is delivered to each skin layer.

The neck skin is much thinner and more sensitive than the face, so it needs more delicate care

The reason neck wrinkles form so easily is anatomical. Neck skin is very thin, at about two-thirds the thickness of facial skin. In addition, because the sebaceous glands are barely developed, there is a lack of natural oil, the skin’s protective barrier, so it dries out easily. Dryness is one of the biggest causes of wrinkles. There is also a thin, broad muscle called the platysma in the neck. Every time we make facial expressions or turn our head, this muscle moves constantly and pulls on the thin skin, making wrinkles easier to set in.

Recently, with increased smartphone use, more people in their 20s have been complaining of deep horizontal lines due to the posture of constantly looking down, a phenomenon often called “tech neck.” Because thin skin, muscle movement, and lifestyle habits all work together, it is true that this is difficult to solve with cream alone.

Depending on the type of neck wrinkles, treatment must address the skin surface, the deeper layers, and even the muscles

Neck wrinkles are broadly divided into two types: horizontal wrinkles, which are deeply etched due to poor posture or aging, and vertical wrinkles, which appear like a turkey neck as skin elasticity decreases.

To address both problems at the same time, it is necessary not only to pull the skin surface but also to use a three-dimensional treatment that fills the dermal collagen and supports loosened muscles. Neck wrinkles can be improved through three powerful devices: VirtueRF, Emface, and Onda lifting.

Neck wrinkle treatment: 3 laser treatment methods

[Laser Treatment 1: VirtueRF densely fills the dermal layer to improve its density]

Deep horizontal wrinkles are already in a state where the collagen fibers in the dermis have been broken and the skin tissue has sunk in. What is needed here is VirtueRF. VirtueRF is a device that penetrates fine needles deep into the dermis and delivers radiofrequency energy. As the physical stimulation from the needles and the thermal energy from the radiofrequency act together, aged collagen tissue is coagulated and the regeneration of new collagen and elastin is strongly induced.

Because it works from within the skin, as if filling in sunken ground, it is excellent for softening deep wrinkles and smoothing skin texture. It also has a cooling system, so it can be performed safely on the thin neck skin without worrying about pain or burns.

[Laser Treatment 2: Emface firmly supports loosened neck muscles]

No matter how much you improve skin elasticity, if the muscles underneath are loosened, the neck line will not look beautiful. In particular, vertical wrinkles and sagging under the chin are closely related to muscle aging. Emface is the world’s first device to use radiofrequency energy and high-intensity electrical stimulation at the same time to lift the skin and muscles together. It delivers heat to the skin layer to improve elasticity and provides electrical stimulation to the muscle layer to strengthen and contract the weakened platysma.

It is similar to exercising the neck muscles to make them firmer. As the muscles become taut, the skin covering them naturally follows, creating a lifting effect that smooths out the sagging jawline and neck line. Another major advantage is that there is almost no pain, bruising, or swelling, so you can return to daily life right away.

[Laser Treatment 3: Onda lifting removes unnecessary fat and completes the tightening effect]

Another common concern along with neck wrinkles is a double chin or thick fat around the neck. If fat presses on the skin with weight, wrinkles inevitably become deeper. In such cases, Onda lifting is effective. Onda lifting is a device that uses special microwave energy. It selectively delivers high heat only to the subcutaneous fat layer while keeping the skin surface cool and protected.

Through this process, unnecessary fat cells are broken down to slim down the thicker tissue around the neck, while at the same time the collagen fibers in the dermis are immediately contracted to provide a firm tightening effect. Even right after the procedure, you can feel the neck line becoming more defined, which makes this a highly satisfying treatment.

Lifestyle correction is needed to maintain the treatment effect for a long time

If you have smoothed neck wrinkles with laser treatment, it is now important to manage them so they do not form again. The most important thing is sun protection. Many people apply sunscreen carefully to their face but neglect their neck, even though neck skin is especially vulnerable to photoaging caused by ultraviolet rays. When going বাইরে, make sure to apply enough sunscreen to the neck as well.

Pillow height is also important when sleeping. A pillow that is too high bends the neck and deepens horizontal wrinkles. It is better to use a low pillow that helps maintain the neck’s C-shaped curve. Also, when looking at your smartphone, you should consciously make a habit of holding your head up. Frequently bending your neck backward and opening your mouth for stretching can help relieve tension in the platysma and prevent wrinkles.

Neck wrinkles do not form overnight, so treatment also requires patience. However, if you receive customized treatment for each skin layer based on an accurate diagnosis, you will surely be able to confidently reveal the neck line that you used to hide behind scarves. Rather than feeling upset alone about neck wrinkles deepening like age rings, consult a dermatologist and find the solution that best fits your neck condition.
