NECKLACE LINES

Is your neck revealing your age?

Horizontal “necklace lines” develop from repeated neck flexion (“tech neck”), sun exposure, and gradual collagen and elastin loss in the thin neck skin. Vertical platysma bands form when underlying neck muscles become overactive, pulling downward on the jawline and creating visible cords or creases through the neck.

Because the neck has fewer oil glands and thinner skin than the face, it often shows aging earlier and responds best to a multimodal approach. Our treatments focus on improving skin quality, softening etched lines, relaxing muscle activity when needed, and restoring support—always tailored to your goals, timeline, and downtime tolerance.

Not sure where to begin?

Every treatment begins with the right conversation. We’ll help you choose the most appropriate next step based on your goals, timeline, and comfort level.

POSSIBILITIES

Horizontal necklace lines can soften and become less noticeable as skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness improve. Crepey texture can be refined, and the neck can appear smoother and more even in tone.

Overactive vertical platysma bands can be relaxed to reduce visible cords and subtly enhance jawline definition. With the right plan, both horizontal lines and vertical bands can appear less prominent, creating a smoother, more youthful, and better-balanced neck profile.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Neck aging is strongly influenced by daily habits, posture, and environmental exposure:

  • Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect thin neck skin from UV-driven collagen loss
  • Mindful posture and device habits to reduce repeated downward flexion (“tech neck”)
  • Consistent use of medical-grade skincare including retinoids, peptides, antioxidants, and barrier-supporting moisturizers
  • Avoiding harsh exfoliation and fragrance-heavy products that compromise the delicate neck barrier

These measures help slow the progression of lines and preserve skin resilience over time.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Micro-Injections for Fine Necklace Lines

Tiny, precise injections placed superficially help soften etched horizontal lines by improving hydration, elasticity, and dermal support—smoothing creases without adding bulk.

Neuromodulators for Platysma Bands

Small, targeted doses relax overactive vertical neck muscles, reducing band visibility and subtly improving jawline contour while preserving natural movement.

Collagen Stimulation (Hyper-dilute Radiesse® / Biostimulators)

Hyper-dilute Radiesse® strengthens thin neck skin by stimulating new collagen and elastin. This improves crepiness, firmness, and overall skin quality gradually over time.

Ultherapy® (Micro-Focused Ultrasound)

Ultherapy tightens and lifts deeper support layers of the lower face, under-chin area, and neck, counteracting laxity that can exaggerate lines and bands.

Laser & Light Therapies

  • HALO®: Improves deeper texture changes, etched lines, and sun damage
  • NanoLaserPeel®: Smooths surface roughness and brightens dull or crepey skin with short downtime
  • BBL® HEROic™: Targets redness, pigmentation, and uneven tone for a clearer, more even neck appearance

Medical-Grade Skincare (Home Care)
Neck-specific retinoids, peptides, antioxidants, and daily SPF help maintain results and slow the formation of new lines and bands.

Combination Planning
Because necklace lines often result from multiple factors—skin quality, muscle activity, posture, and collagen loss—a customized combination approach usually delivers the most natural and long-lasting improvement.
