Treatment Options for Every Stage of Neck Laxity
There’s no single fix for a sagging neck, but there are several effective ones, and the right choice depends on how much laxity you’re dealing with. Some patients see meaningful improvement from skincare and non-surgical treatments alone, while others get faster, more noticeable results from a minimally invasive procedure like MyEllevate.
Start With Prevention
Sunscreen and a consistent skincare routine matter at every stage, but they make the biggest difference before visible sagging sets in. Protecting the neck early on slows down changes that become much harder to reverse later.
For Early to Moderate Laxity: Non-Surgical Treatment
If you’re noticing some looseness but aren’t ready for a procedure, a few in-office treatments can help improve the skin itself:
- Sofwave: an FDA-cleared ultrasound treatment that builds collagen and lifts skin beneath the chin.
- Microneedling with radiofrequency (RF): improves the texture and quality of the skin’s surface over a series of sessions.
- Injectables: certain formulations can support skin quality and texture along the neck.
For More Visible Laxity: The MyEllevate Procedure
When looseness is more advanced, non-surgical treatments alone may not be enough to change the neck’s underlying contour. That’s where MyEllevate comes in. “The quickest and best solution to improve the lower face is the MyEllevate procedure,” explains Dr. Gregory Mueller, the plastic surgeon who invented it. “In properly selected patients, the procedure can be used to reverse the signs of aging of the jawline and lower face.”
MyEllevate uses a patented light-guided suturing technique that lifts and secures the underlying structures of the jawline through minimal incisions. It’s often paired with in-office skin-tightening technologies like Renuvion or FaceTite, delivering long-lasting results that are immediate and significant yet natural-looking, with minimal scarring. The procedure is performed entirely under local anesthesia.
Proper patient selection matters here more than with any of the earlier options, so it’s worth having a qualified surgeon assess your degree of laxity and goals before choosing a path forward.
