For many reasons, including aging and significant weight loss, people find themselves with sagging skin around the jowls, chin, and neck. If you’re frustrated by this issue, a non-surgical neck lift at Old Town Med Spa could be the perfect solution. Our team, led by board-certified physicians Drs. Nael Gharbi and Shazel Gharbi, wants you to look and feel your best. We offer personalized face and neck sculpting treatments tailored to your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
What Is a Non-Surgical Neck Lift?
A non-surgical neck lift uses injectables to enhance the appearance of the neck and address mild-to-moderate concerns such as loose skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. At Old Town Med Spa, we use the following injectables for our neck-tightening treatments.
Sculptra®
Sculptra is a popular FDA-approved dermal filler composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that your body naturally absorbs.
This unique filler stimulates collagen production, a protein that gives your skin structure. Collagen production naturally decreases with age, but treatments like Sculptra can help you combat this issue and see a fuller, smoother appearance over time. Treatment typically involves a series of injections spaced a few weeks apart to gradually restore volume, with improvements appearing over several weeks to months as new collagen forms. Results can last up to two years.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Known as the Nefertiti Lift, this treatment uses BOTOX Cosmetic to lift and tighten the neck and soften the appearance of vertical neck bands, which often become more visible with age as the platysma muscles show through the skin. BOTOX is a neuromodulator, meaning it alters how nerve signals interact with muscles. When injected, BOTOX blocks nerve signals to muscles, preventing them from contracting and creating a smoother, more relaxed appearance.
Many patients notice improvement after a single session, with the targeted muscles beginning to relax within a few days and full results visible in about one to two weeks. Because BOTOX results typically last three to four months, most patients schedule repeat treatments several times per year to maintain a refined, smoother neckline.
Ultherapy®
Ultherapy tightens loose skin on the neck using focused ultrasound energy. The energy reaches deeper layers of tissue beneath the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. As new collagen forms, the skin gradually becomes firmer and more lifted, helping reduce sagging along the neck and jawline.
Many patients achieve their goals with just one Ultherapy session, though some benefit from additional sessions to support long-term collagen production. Because the treatment relies on your body’s natural collagen renewal, the tightening effect becomes more noticeable over two to three months, and results may last a year or longer.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Most people unhappy with the appearance of loose skin on their necks may benefit from a non-surgical neck lift or neck-tightening treatment. However, it is important to have realistic goals and expectations for this method. The results may be subtler than those of a surgical procedure and are semi-permanent, so maintenance treatments are typically recommended to help preserve a smoother, firmer appearance over time.
One of the biggest advantages of these treatments is convenience. Most non-surgical neck lift procedures involve little to no downtime, and many patients return to normal daily activities shortly after their appointment. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within a few hours to a few days—making these options ideal for people who want visible improvement without taking time away from work or other responsibilities.
A consultation with our team can help ensure this is the best treatment option for you. We will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and offer personalized recommendations.
