    The Neglected Neck

    The skin on our neck is among the most neglected on our bodies. It's often the most exposed part of our skin and can be subjected to the sun's unrelenting rays daily. Many people who never go outside without putting sunscreen on their face will often forget to put the sunscreen on their neck as well.

    The sun, not chronological aging, is directly responsible for about 90 percent of the wrinkles and skin problems we physicians treat on the neck. We have performed studies comparing the skin on the neck with that on the buttocks, because the buttocks are generally covered (let's hope so!) and the neck is typically exposed. We've found that neck skin generally exhibits all the signs of aged skin , while buttocks skin rarely does.

    Treatment Is Available

    A variety of treatments are available for people who want to improve the look and feel of the skin on their necks. Laser treatments are among the most effective. The best course of action is to consult with a physician who is an expert in skin care. Discuss all your treatment options. And to prevent further damage to your skin, be sure to wear sunscreen on your neck!

    Treatment options for your head and neck include the following: Laser Skin Resurfacing, Fractional Laser Resurfacing, IPL, Radiofrequency Rejuvenation, Plasma Skin Regeneration or Injectables/ Dermal Fillers.
