Turkey Neck explained
Turkey neck describes sagging neck skin, often with vertical cords called platysmal bands. It comes from loss of skin elasticity, a weakening of the platysma muscle, sun damage and fat changes. Non-surgical treatments improve mild to moderate cases.
How Turkey Neck works
Neck or Nefertiti Botox relaxes the platysma bands so they look less prominent. HIFU and RF heat deeper tissue and skin to stimulate collagen and firm the neck over months. Skin boosters such as Rejuran, PN or neck-specific boosters improve thin, crepey skin, and fat-dissolving injections reduce fat under the chin if present.
