Your Neck Ages Faster

The skin on the neck is thinner and produces less oil than the face, making it more vulnerable to collagen loss. As collagen declines, the skin can become crepey, lined, and less firm. To improve the neck meaningfully, we need to stimulate collagen deeper within the skin. This is where collagen stimulation treatments like Sculptra & Sylfirm RF Microneedling become important.

Why we love Sculptra for the neck

The neck is often one of the first places to show aging. The skin here is naturally thinner and contains fewer collagen and elastin fibers than the face, making it more prone to crepey texture, laxity, and horizontal lines over time.

Sculptra works differently than traditional fillers. Rather than adding volume, it uses poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate your body’s own collagen production, gradually rebuilding the skin’s internal support. As collagen improves, the neck appears firmer, smoother, and more resilient. Results develop slowly and can last up to two years.

For moderate neck laxity, we typically recommend two treatments to start. After that, maintenance is usually one treatment per year to help offset the natural collagen loss that occurs with aging.

Where Sylfirm Steps In

If you’re noticing crepey skin, early laxity, or visible neck bands, Sylfirm X can help tighten and refine the area. This advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment delivers controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin using ultrafine needles.

This energy stimulates fibroblasts and tightens existing collagen fibers within the dermis, helping improve skin firmness and texture. Because it works by strengthening the skin itself, Sylfirm improves laxity and crepey texture without adding volume.

Most clients begin with a series of three treatments spaced one month apart. For more advanced laxity or banding, up to six treatments may be recommended. Maintenance is typically one treatment every 9–12 months.

When The Neck Starts Pulling Downward

If you notice vertical bands appearing when you speak, smile, or move your neck, the platysma muscle is likely responsible. Over time, this thin muscle can become more prominent and begin pulling downward, contributing to visible neck banding and loss of definition along the jawline.

Botox works by relaxing these overactive muscle fibers, softening the appearance of the bands and reducing the downward pull on the lower face. This helps the neck appear smoother while allowing the jawline to look more supported and balanced.

Results typically appear within 1–2 weeks and last about 3–4 months for most clients. Regular maintenance treatments can help keep the neck looking smooth and prevent the bands from becoming more pronounced over time.

So… which treatment is right for you?

In a perfect world, neck rejuvenation often involves a combination of treatments, because each one targets a different part of the aging process. Botox relaxes the platysma muscle to soften visible neck bands and reduce the downward pull on the lower face. Sculptra works deeper in the skin to rebuild collagen, helping improve thinning or crepey skin over time. Sylfirm X focuses more on tightening and improving skin quality through radiofrequency microneedling, and can also be a great option for clients who may not be candidates for Sculptra, such as those with certain autoimmune conditions.

During your consultation, we’ll look at your skin, muscle movement, and overall goals to determine which treatment, or combination of treatments, will give you the most natural result.

Investment

Treatment pricing varies depending on the approach recommended for your neck.

  • $850 per vial

    Sculptra works by stimulating collagen to gradually improve skin thickness and support in the neck. For moderate skin laxity or crepey texture, most clients require two treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For more advanced laxity, three to four sessions may be recommended.

    Once your initial series is complete, maintenance is typically one vial per year to support ongoing collagen loss.

    Please note: Sculptra is not recommended for clients with autoimmune conditions.

  • $1,200 per treatment
    Series of 3: $3,200 + tax

    Sylfirm X is typically performed as a series of three treatments, spaced about one month apart, to tighten skin and improve texture and laxity.

    We typically treat both the face and neck together, since tightening the neck alone without supporting the surrounding skin can create an unbalanced result. Treating the two areas together allows for a more natural, cohesive lift.

    Clients purchasing the package of three treatments receive a complimentary SkinCeuticals P-TIOX serum to help support results at home.

  • Pricing varies based on units required

    Botox for platysmal banding relaxes the muscles that create visible neck bands and downward pull along the jawline. Most treatments require approximately 20–48 units, depending on muscle strength and the degree of banding present.

    Your injector will determine the appropriate dosing during your consultation.
