There are a few different reasons why your neck skin might start to sag, with ageing and gravity making the top of the list.
As you get older, your skin loses elasticity and collagen – the agents that keep it looking firm and youthful. Plus over time, gravity pulls on your skin, causing it to sag.
However, it’s possible to tighten the skin in this area. What’s more, Dr Sarah Tonks, a cosmetic physician from The Lovely Clinic, has revealed a non-surgical procedure that could do this immediately.
She recommended Aptos thread lift for early neck sagging. Dr Tonks told MailOnline: “These particular threads are made of a very strong, flexible material.
“They give a really good lift, then dissolve over time while visibly boosting collagen production.”
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic and it involves five barbed threads being injected on each side of your neck bone.
The expert shared “it’s not painful” and you can see tightening immediately. However, there can be some swelling or bruising for a week.
If you’re looking for a more affordable option, Skin Cancer Specialists share that regular exercise is actually one of the “best” ways to tighten your neck skin.
Physical movement helps to build muscles in your neck, which will help support the skin and prevent it from sagging.
There are a few specific exercises you can do to target the muscles in your neck, with one option including face yoga.
Face yoga uses specific facial muscles to tone and tighten the skin. “There are a variety of different exercises you can do, and you can find tutorials online or from a personal trainer,” the portal adds.
Some of them are very easy to incorporate into your daily routine like the Double Chin Lift with Tongue. This exercise helps to reduce saggy neck and tone muscles in this area.
Face yoga app Luvly explains you need to drop your shoulders, while holding your back and neck high, and move your gaze upwards towards the ceiling.
Then, you lift your head up, following your gaze. Stick your tongue out and point it upwards and hold for five seconds.
Then, you move your tongue to the right and hold for another five seconds. After repeating this on the left side, you can come out of the pose.
