How to Get Rid of Turkey Neck Without Surgery
Laser for turkey neck: How to Get Rid of Turkey Neck Without Surgery?
Laser and light-based devices can help mild to moderate looseness by heating the deeper layers of the skin and encouraging new collagen. Results build over several sessions and are more modest than surgery. A laser does not remove skin that already hangs, and it does not fix bands caused by the muscle.
At Dixi’s MediSpa, we offer Candela Gentle Max Pro Plus for neck tightening and we use plasma pen and microneedling for neck tightening because they let us treat crepey skin directly.

Dermal fillers and biostimulators for turkey neck
Biostimulators such as Sculptra and some fillers are sometimes used on the neck to improve skin quality and thin lines. They add support rather than remove loose skin, so they work best for mild laxity. These injectables are available only at our Marshall, TX location. [CONFIRM]
Which treatment fits your neck?
• Mild (fine lines, slight crepiness): a microneedling series.
• Moderate (visible looseness and crepey texture): plasma pen, sometimes combined with microneedling.
• Visible vertical bands: a neuromodulator consultation at our Marshall, TX location.
• Significant hanging skin: a surgical neck lift is usually the only option that fully corrects it.
We confirm the right plan at your consultation, because neck skin varies a lot from person to person.
Turkey neck FAQ
What is turkey neck surgery called?
It is usually called a neck lift or platysmaplasty. A plastic surgeon tightens the platysma muscle and removes excess skin. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons describes the neck contouring procedures surgeons commonly perform. We do not perform it, but many clients choose a non-surgical option first or to delay surgery.
Can you get rid of neck bands naturally?
Creams and neck exercises are popular, but there is little strong evidence that they remove neck bands or tighten loose skin. Daily sunscreen (see the American Academy of Dermatology on how to select a sunscreen) and avoiding smoking help keep the problem from getting worse. The AAD also outlines ways to firm sagging skin.
Can men get rid of turkey neck?
Yes. The causes and the treatment options are the same for men and women. A consultation tells you which one fits your skin and your goals.
How many sessions will I need for neck skin tightening?
It depends on the treatment and how loose the skin is.
