As time marches on, the effects of aging can manifest in various ways, often leaving lines on the delicate skin around the neck. At our Vancouver clinic, we specialize in rejuvenating and restoring the youthful allure of your neck, addressing concerns such as fat and collagen loss, permanent wrinkles, sun damage, and noticeable neck lines.
What are Neck Lines?
Neck lines, often referred to as neck wrinkles or creases, are the subtle rings that emerge on the skin around the neck over time. From fine lines and creases to more distinct bands, various types of neck lines can appear as we age due to natural changes in the skin.
The most common types of neck lines are horizontal lines known as neckbands or “turkey neck,” resulting from muscle and tissue changes. While neck lines are a natural part of the aging process, modern cosmetic treatments offer effective solutions to reduce their visibility and restore a smoother, more youthful appearance.
At our Vancouver clinic, we specialize in personalized neck rejuvenation strategies, utilizing advanced techniques to address the specific concerns of each individual.

What Causes Neck Lines and Laxity?
With fewer oil glands than the rest of our face, the delicate skin on our neck is particularly susceptible to aging. With time and repeated sun exposure, this area can form neck lines and show visible signs of aging. Understanding the root causes provides valuable insights into the aging process.
Collagen Depletion
A primary contributor to the neck lines and laxity is the gradual depletion of collagen, a structural protein responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Reduced collagen production makes the skin less efficient at bouncing back and resisting creasing and more susceptible to forming fine lines and wrinkles.
Fat Loss
Beyond collagen, subcutaneous fat is crucial in maintaining a youthful appearance. This natural cushion beneath the skin provides volume and plumpness, contributing to a smooth and supple texture. Unfortunately, the aging process involves the gradual loss of this vital fat, leading to a reduction in skin volume and the emergence of visible lines and wrinkles.
Sun Exposure and Environmental Factors
Prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful rays can accelerate the development of neck lines and laxity. UV radiation can break down collagen fibres, impair the skin’s regenerative ability, and hasten age. Environmental stressors, such as pollution and harsh weather conditions, further contribute to the wear and tear of the skin.
Genetic Predispositions
Genetics also play a role in determining how our skin ages. Inherited traits can influence the rate at which collagen breaks down, the skin loses elasticity, and wrinkles become more pronounced.

Embrace the confidence that comes with beautifully smooth skin. At Skin Technique in Vancouver, we specialize in neck line treatments designed to rejuvenate and refine your appearance, specifically targeting concerns like necklines.

Botox / Xeomin
Achieve instant and remarkable results with neuromodulators like Botox® and Fillers, a quick solution to soften necklines. Several other brands and products are in the market, such as Xeomin®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau®. They relax the muscles responsible for lines, while fillers plump up the skin, effectively smoothing out wrinkles and lines on the neck. It’s a fast way to regain a youthful, line-free neck appearance.
Microneedling
Revitalize your neck’s skin with our Microneedling treatment, an innovative solution for reducing necklines. This procedure involves tiny needles that create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating natural collagen production. As a result, you’ll see a visible reduction in necklines, leading to a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
Ultherapy
Experience the cutting-edge Ultherapy treatment, a non-invasive approach to reducing necklines. Using ultrasound technology, Ultherapy targets deeper layers of skin to lift and tighten. This process naturally reduces the appearance of necklines, leaving you with firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Chemical Peels
Discover the transformative power of Chemical Peels for necklines. Our expertly formulated peels gently remove the outer layers of skin, revealing a fresher, more even-toned surface. This process not only diminishes the appearance of necklines but also rejuvenates the overall texture of your neck’s skin.
