How MyEllevate™ Can Help Achieve Youthful Neck Appearance
Aging doesn’t just affect the face—it shows up around the neck, too. Wrinkles, sagging skin, and fullness caused by fat deposits can make the neck look older, sometimes even before the face. For many, this area becomes a significant concern as it plays a large role in our overall appearance.
Enter MyEllevate™, a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck and restore that youthful, contoured look we all desire. If you are worried about your neck showing signs of aging or excess fat, you are not alone—and MyEllevate™ may be the solution you are seeking.
Keep reading to learn how this innovative treatment works and why it might be the answer to your aesthetic goals.
Neck—A Subtle but Significant Area of Aging
When it comes to aging, we often focus on the face, but the neck is just as susceptible to the visible signs of time. Over the years, the skin in this area loses elasticity and collagen, which can lead to sagging, lines, and bands forming around the neck, creating an aged appearance.
What Causes Aging in the Neck?
The skin around the neck is thinner than other parts of the body, which means it is more prone to showing signs of aging. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, gravity, and lifestyle habits can lead to a weakened support structure in the neck.
This includes the platysma muscle, a thin layer of muscle running from the jawline to the collarbone. As this muscle weakens over time, it can result in the turkey neck appearance many individuals experience as they age.
Additionally, weight fluctuations and the natural fat that accumulates under the chin and around the neck can cause further concerns.
At this point, many begin looking for ways to tighten and rejuvenate their neck—this is where MyEllevate™ shines as an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that delivers stunning results without the need for extensive surgery.
What is MyEllevate™?
MyEllevate™ is a revolutionary neck contouring procedure that is quickly becoming the go-to solution for those seeking to enhance the appearance of their neck without undergoing a full surgical lift. The procedure is designed to lift and tighten the neck and jawline, creating a youthful, contoured look that lasts.
Science Behind It
Unlike traditional neck lifts, which involve larger incisions and extended recovery times, MyEllevate™ focuses on precision. This procedure uses the ICLED® light-guided suture system, allowing your cosmetic surgeon to carefully place sutures under the skin without needing to make large incisions.
These sutures provide support to the underlying structures in the neck, lifting sagging skin and muscles for a refreshed, natural look. Because it is minimally invasive, MyEllevate™ delivers results with little downtime and minimal scarring, making it an appealing option for those who want to avoid the invasiveness of a traditional neck lift.
Maintaining the Youthful Appearance of the Neck with MyEllevate™
The benefits of MyEllevate™ go beyond its minimally invasive nature. Here’s how it helps restore the neck’s youthful appearance:
1. Lifts and Tightens Sagging Skin
As we age, the skin around the neck loses its elasticity, leading to drooping, fine lines, and wrinkles. MyEllevate™ provides an effective solution by lifting and tightening the sagging skin in this area.
The light-guided ICLED® system used during the procedure allows for the precise placement of sutures beneath the skin, which acts as a support system to pull the skin upwards. This results in a smoother, firmer neck that looks refreshed and more youthful.
The immediate skin-tightening effect helps address issues like horizontal necklines and mild to moderate skin laxity, offering noticeable improvements right after the procedure.
2. Supports and Rejuvenates the Platysma Muscle
One of the most significant contributors to an aging neck is the platysma muscle, which can weaken over time, leading to the appearance of vertical bands and loss of firmness. MyEllevate™ targets this critical muscle by repositioning and supporting it with sutures, providing a more youthful and contoured structure.
This technique works to lift the platysma back into place without requiring large incisions or invasive surgery. By reinforcing the muscle, MyEllevate™ helps to eliminate the turkey neck effect, restoring the neck’s natural definition and smoothness.
3. Enhances Jawline Definition
The neck and jawline are closely connected when it comes to facial harmony. A sagging neck can diminish the sharpness and definition of the jawline, leading to an overall older and less contoured appearance.
MyEllevate™ helps improve jawline definition by lifting the tissue around the neck and tightening the surrounding skin. The result is a sleeker, more defined jawline that complements the overall facial structure, giving you a more youthful profile.
This enhancement is particularly beneficial for those experiencing fullness under the chin or sagging along the jawline due to aging.
4. Minimally Invasive, Quick Recovery
Unlike traditional neck lift surgeries, which involve large incisions and significant recovery time, MyEllevate™ offers a minimally invasive approach with minimal scarring and downtime. The procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete, and most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
There is no need for lengthy recovery periods or the use of general anesthesia, making this a convenient option for those seeking quick yet transformative results. Because the incisions are small and hidden, scarring is minimal, which is another reason why MyEllevate™ is preferred by many patients.
5. Stimulates Collagen Production for Long-Lasting Results
One of the unique benefits of MyEllevate™ is its ability to stimulate collagen production in the treated areas. Collagen is a vital protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin, but its production declines with age.
By triggering the body’s natural collagen production process, MyEllevate™ encourages long-term improvements in skin tone, texture, and elasticity. Over time, this increased collagen helps the skin maintain its lifted and youthful appearance, providing results that last several years when combined with proper skincare and maintenance routines.
These combined benefits make MyEllevate™ an excellent choice for individuals looking to address signs of aging in the neck while achieving a natural, refreshed look. Whether you are aiming to tighten loose skin, enhance your jawline, or improve overall neck contours, MyEllevate™ provides a comprehensive solution without the need for invasive surgery.
Importance of Proper Aftercare
Like any cosmetic procedure, achieving the best results with MyEllevate™ requires proper aftercare. Patients are often advised to wear a neck support garment to assist in healing and reduce swelling.
Additionally, it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions closely to ensure the longevity of your results. Avoiding strenuous activity and protecting the neck from sun exposure are two key steps in ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal outcomes.
