“I’ve suddenly noticed my neck looks like it belongs to someone else…a much older someone else. What can I do about my aging neck?”
You and Nora Ephron are in good company in feeling badly about your necks! The prolific author and screenwriter summed up the situation nicely when she wrote, “Our faces are lies but are necks are the truth.”
Need more good company? Remember in Something’s Gotta Give when Jack Nicholson says to Diane Keaton, “It’s the middle of summer, what’s with the turtlenecks?” She shrugs and responds, “I’m just a turtleneck kind of gal.” We all knew exactly why she was suffering through east coast humidity in a turtleneck!
Just like the skin covering our knees and elbows, the skin over our adam’s apples is covering a joint. And what do joints do? The move just about constantly working and stretching collagen and elastin fibers. Eventually, with age, skin stops bouncing back and we end up with that crepey look.
Here’s a better alternative to a turtleneck. A relatively new laser-like treatment, eMatrix, gives the amazing results of the most effective lasers - smoother, tighter skin, reduced lines and wrinkles and increased collagen production. Healing is optimized when used along with the collagen-firming cream Nectifirm between. If we address this area every three weeks with approximately five eMatrix sessions total, we can literally erase that crepey texture in 3 to 4 months.
Winter is the ideal time for eMatrix sessions but it’s something you can choose any time of the year. The downtime from the treatment is minimal, usually about four days during which you may experience some redness and swelling. For the next few months you can easily cover recovering skin and protect it from sun exposure with a scarf, or dare I say, turtleneck?
And one last thought, if memory serves, Diane Keaton’s character loosens up, dresses for summer and has her pick of Jack Nicholson or Keanu Reeves.
