Are you noticing sagging skin, horizontal neck lines, or a loss of definition under your jaw—but not ready for a surgical neck lift? A non-surgical neck lift offers subtle, natural-looking improvements without incisions, general anesthesia, or long recovery times. From energy-based devices to injectables and threads, today’s techniques can rejuvenate your neck with minimal downtime.

What Is a Non-Surgical Neck Lift?

A non-surgical neck lift uses minimally invasive or non-invasive techniques to tighten loose skin, reduce neck fat, smooth lines, and improve jawline definition. It’s an ideal option for patients in their 30s to 60s who want a lifted, youthful look without committing to surgery.

Top Non-Surgical Neck Lift Treatments

1. Ultherapy (Ultrasound Skin Tightening)

• Delivers focused ultrasound to the SMAS layer (same as a facelift)
• Stimulates collagen for gradual lifting and tightening
• Best for: Mild to moderate skin laxity
• Results: Peak at 2–3 months; last up to 12–18 months
• Downtime: None

2. Shurink (Korean Ultherapy Alternative)

• Similar to Ultherapy, but more affordable and widely used in Korea
• Uses HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound)
• Customizable depths for layered lifting
• Best for: Early jowls, crepey skin, V-line definition

3. Thermage FLX (Radiofrequency Skin Tightening)

• Delivers RF energy to heat deep skin layers and tighten collagen
• Improves texture, creases, and firmness
• Best for: Fine lines and loose skin on the neck
• Downtime: None; results build gradually over 6 months

4. Thread Lift (PDO/PLLA Threads for Neck)

• Threads inserted under the skin lift and tighten sagging areas
• Boosts collagen and provides immediate contouring
• Best for: Early turkey neck, neck bands, and sagging
• Downtime: Mild swelling/bruising for 2–5 days
• Duration: Lasts 6–18 months depending on thread type

5. Botox for Platysmal Bands

• Injections into the platysma muscles relax tight vertical bands
• Softens “turkey neck” appearance and elongates the neck visually
• Fast results (within a week)
• Duration: 3–4 months

6. Neck Liposuction or Fat-Dissolving Injections

• For patients with a double chin or excess fat, not just loose skin
• Options include Kybella, lipolysis injections, or mini lipo
• Often combined with tightening treatments for best results

7. Skin Boosters / Profhilo / Rejuran

• Injectables that hydrate and improve skin quality
• Helps with crepey, wrinkled neck skin
• Not a lift, but a great complement to energy devices or threads

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A non-surgical neck lift may be right for you if you:

• Have mild to moderate sagging or crepey neck skin
• See early jowling or loss of jawline definition
• Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvements
• Want to avoid surgical scars or long downtime
• Have realistic expectations

Patients with severe laxity or excess skin may still benefit more from a traditional neck lift surgery.

Before & After Expectations

• Immediate improvements with thread lifts and Botox
• Gradual tightening over 2–3 months with HIFU and RF devices
• Long-term skin quality enhancement with injectables
• Maintenance recommended every 6–12 months depending on treatment
