Addressing Neck Laxity at HVME in San Francisco and Marin County

At HVME, we're committed to helping you regain all the confidence that comes with showing the world a toned, elegant neckline. You’ll get to explore a variety of customizable treatment options, each one designed to help you tighten and rejuvenate your neck without any surgery or extensive downtime.

What Causes Neck Laxity?

Neck laxity is often caused by a combination of factors that affect your skin's sense of elasticity over time. As a part of the natural aging process, your body will produce less collagen and elastin, which are key components that help keep your skin firm and resilient. Given enough time, this decline in collagen and elastin production leads to thinning skin and the gradual loosening of supportive tissues.

Environmental factors like sun exposure and pollution can further accelerate the breakdown of your skin’s collagen, while lifestyle choices such as smoking and poor nutrition can also impact your skin’s health. Visiting HVME means enjoying some good news, as we can help address your neck laxity no matter what’s causing it.

PDO Thread Lifting

PDO Thread Lifting offers a minimally invasive solution to sagging neck skin. During this procedure, your provider will insert fine, absorbable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) beneath your skin.

These threads provide an immediate lifting effect while also stimulating collagen production as they dissolve over several months. You’ll discover a firmer, smoother neck with improved skin texture. PDO Thread Lifting requires minimal downtime, and you’ll enjoy results that can last up to a year or more.

Ultherapy: Tighten & Sculpt

Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin on your neck and under your chin. It accomplishes this by stimulating the deep structural support layers of the skin without disrupting its surface.

The ultrasound energy triggers your body's natural collagen production, leading to gradual, natural-looking tightening and lifting over time. With no downtime required, Ultherapy allows you to resume your normal activities immediately.

Attiva RF System

The Attiva RF System is an advanced treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin from within. By delivering controlled thermal energy to the deeper layers of the neck skin, Attiva stimulates collagen remodeling and encourages the production of new collagen fibers.

This process effectively reduces sagging and improves skin elasticity. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be customized to address specific areas of concern. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, Attiva offers a powerful solution for neck laxity without the need for surgery.
