With aging comes fat and collagen loss around the neck, leading to permanent wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, and prominent neckbands. A combination of treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, PRP, injectable enhancements, Radio Frequency Skin Tightening and lasers can be used to treat signs of aging like wrinkles, sun spots and skin laxity.
What Are Neck Lines and Laxity?
The skin on our neck is delicate and has fewer oil glands than the rest of our face. This, combined with daily exposure to the sun, can lead to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles on the neck, a condition known as “neck lines.” In addition, as we age, the skin on our neck becomes less elastic and begins to sag, a condition known as “laxity.”
What Causes Neck Lines and Laxity?
The reasons for neck lines and laxity are numerous, including sun damage, weight gain or loss, genetics, and aging.
Sun damage is one of the most common causes of neck lines and laxity. The skin on the neck is thin and delicate, making it susceptible to changes in temperature and UV exposure.
Weight gain or loss can also cause neck lines and laxity. When the skin stretches or contracts due to fluctuations in weight, it can lead to wrinkles and sagging.
Genetics also play a role in the development of neck lines and laxity. If your parents or grandparents had loose, wrinkled skin on their necks, you may be more likely to develop the same condition. Finally, aging is a major factor in the development of neck lines and laxity.
As we get older, our skin loses collagen and elastin, two proteins that help keep the skin firm and elastic. As a result, wrinkles and sagging become more common with age. While there is no single cause of neck lines and laxity, these are some of the most common contributing factors.
You may have heard the term Tech Neck more recently and it is a real cosmetic condition caused by staring down at our cell phones and tablets which causes our necks to wrinkle and the lines to deepen.
