Loose, sagging, or crepey neck skin from collagen loss and sun damage is firmed non-surgically with collagen-stimulating treatments — thread lifts, energy-based tightening like Ultherapy, Sofwave, or Thermage, RF microneedling, and skin boosters like Profhilo. Results build over a few months. Advanced sagging may eventually be better suited to a surgical neck lift.
Neck laxity, or loose neck skin, is the sagging, crepey, or wrinkled skin that develops from aging, collagen and elastin loss, sun damage, weight changes, or genetics. It often appears as lax, drooping skin with horizontal lines and a blurred jaw-to-neck transition.
For a practice, the neck completes a facial-rejuvenation result and is an area patients increasingly ask about. The clinical goal is to firm and lift the skin by stimulating collagen with threads, energy devices, and skin boosters. Showing the patient the projected, firmer neck on their own photo frames it as part of a complete plan and supports a treatment series.

Explore treatmentsCommon questions patients ask about neck laxity — and what practices should be ready to answer.
Collagen and elastin loss with age, sun damage, weight fluctuations, and genetics cause the neck skin to sag and crepe and the jawline to lose definition.
Thread lifts, energy-based tightening (Ultherapy, Sofwave, Thermage), RF microneedling, and skin boosters firm the skin and stimulate collagen for a lifted, smoother neck.
Collagen-stimulating treatments build over 2–3 months and typically last a year or more with periodic maintenance.
Non-surgical options are best for mild to moderate laxity. Significant excess skin and banding may be better corrected with a surgical neck lift.
Numbing and cooling keep discomfort manageable. Microneedling-based options may cause mild redness for a day or two.
