Neck lines treatment in London

Neck lines are creases across the front of the neck, and neck wrinkles the finer, crepey lines between them. The skin of the neck is exposed to the sun for decades, often with less protection than the face, and loses collagen and elasticity as it ages, so it creases more easily and holds the creases where the neck folds.

Profhilo treats the skin quality part of that picture. Profhilo for the neck places the gel at ten points across the front and sides of the neck, and the skin holds more water and makes more collagen over the following weeks.

Fine, crepey lines respond best: better hydrated, denser skin looks smoother, especially in the low light where neck creases show most. Deep horizontal lines soften only slightly, because they form where the neck folds every day, and no injection stops it folding. Daily sunscreen on the neck slows the skin changes behind both. The assessment tells you which kind of line you have and whether Profhilo, another treatment or a combination suits it.

Crepey neck skin, thin and finely wrinkled like tissue paper, is the part of neck ageing Profhilo suits best. Studies of Profhilo have measured better hydration, elasticity and density on the neck. Practices at UNTIL clubs publish the neck from £240 a treatment, and the course is two sessions about four weeks apart; Profhilo prices in London lists every figure.

A turkey neck, loose skin hanging under the chin and down the front of the neck, is a different problem. Profhilo improves the quality of the skin; it does not lift tissue or remove excess skin, so it will not correct a turkey neck. Surgery is the treatment designed to tighten pronounced neck laxity, and a practitioner who tells you so at the assessment is helping you avoid a course that cannot work.

Practices at UNTIL Marylebone, 4 minutes on foot from Marble Arch, and UNTIL Soho, 2 minutes from Tottenham Court Road, publish Profhilo for the neck. Ask about price and availability and UNTIL Health Concierge will arrange an assessment.
