As we age, our skin loses the firmness and elasticity that it used to have when we were younger. This is due to decreased production of collagen in the skin, along with a number of environmental and lifestyle choices. Turkey neck is a common sign of ageing that can appear abruptly. The skin around the neck begins to sag and droop beneath the chin, which can have a negative impact on people’s self esteem. So, can you get rid of turkey neck?
It is possible to get rid of a turkey neck using a number of different methods. The most effective method to get rid of turkey neck is to undergo aesthetic treatment, such as with radiofrequency treatment. Anti ageing creams have also been proven to deliver noticeable results at reducing loose or sagging skin, and the least effective method is to carry out facial exercises.

Can You Get Rid of Turkey Neck?
Turkey neck can appear suddenly, leaving people looking for effective ways to get rid of the loose skin on their neck. The saggy or wrinkled skin can affect people’s self esteem, but can be treated in a number of different ways. The method that people use to reduce turkey neck will be dependent on how much money they are willing to spend, whether downtime is acceptable, and how many times they want to be receiving treatment.
How to Get Rid of a Turkey Neck
With the right turkey neck treatment and preventative care, it is possible to improve the appearance of the neck significantly. Below are some of the main methods of improving the appearance of skin in neck:
Aesthetic Treatments
Aesthetic treatments and surgeries are by far the most effective turkey neck treatment. While more traditional surgery often requires cutting and leaves scars, more recent options are far less invasive and are still very effective at reducing turkey neck. For example, using radiofrequency technology combined with Radiesse can achieve significant improvements without the need for more invasive surgery.
Anti Ageing Cream
There is scientific evidence to show that using cosmetic creams can improve the appearance of a turkey neck. This is due to the fact that using anti ageing cream will help to keep the neck skin firm by stimulating collagen production. By regularly applying cosmetic creams, it has been found that 94% of people experienced an improved neck appearance.
Facial Exercises
It is worth noting that there is no reliable evidence to prove that facial exercises have any impact on the reduction of turkey neck, however certain exercises can improve muscle tone. This can tighten up the muscles in your neck, but won’t reduce any of the excess skin that actually causes turkey neck.
Will Turkey Neck Go Away with Weight Loss?
When the fat under the skin increases in volume, this causes the skin to stretch. This can cause the framework of elastin and collagen to be permanently damaged. If there is then dramatic weight loss, it is likely that excess skin will form on the neck, and skin will not return to its original taut state. In fact, dramatic weight loss can cause premature signs of ageing to appear.
