Don't Forget Your Neck When Receiving Treatments

The skin on your neck covers an array of muscles that are constantly in motion, stretching and contracting thousands of times per day as we move our heads around. This constant motion is the main reason why we should pay special attention to our necks in order to avoid premature wrinkles.

The skin surrounding the neck tends to lose firmness and moisture more quickly than the rest of our bodies. To prevent saggy skin and wrinkles, the neck needs to be adequately treated when receiving laser or other facial treatments. Many patients do not treat their neck and age will show quicker in later years.

Finally, don't forget that nourishing is as important as moisturizing to keep the skin on your neck firm and youthful.

As we age, the skin cells ability to retain nutrients decreases. The best way to counteract this is by giving the skin additional nutrients. Using a vitamin C serum is the best way to boost your skin's healthy look.

Having strong, smooth and healthy skin around your neck will help you regain that youthful look. Recommended treatments would be resurfacing lasers, radio frequency, needling and peels.
