What Is a Laser Neck Lift?

      Double chins and turkey neck tend to make you look overweight and frequently older than you really are. Until the advent of the laser neck lift, the only real solution to this problem was to undergo a surgical neck lift. Today Dr. Marc Taylor offers the laser neck lift that can help to reduce small amount of fat pockets and loose skin restoring a more youthful look to your neck without the need for surgery.   What Does a Laser Neck Lift Involve? Dr. Taylor utilizes SmartLipo laser liposuction, which is a special laser designed to perform two basic functions. The first function is to dissolve the fat around the neck. The second function is to stimulate the collagen in the overlying skin to help tighten and remove wrinkles. The results of this procedure will continue to improve over the course of the next 6 to 12 weeks. Over this time, you should see significant improvement to the treated areas, without the need for any type of surgical procedure.   How Long Does the Procedure Take? The average laser neck lift treatment takes approximately 1 hour and is considered perfectly safe. Typically, the average patient is able to return to their normal activities within 1 to 2 days. You can expect to have very minor swelling and bruising after the treatment.   Am I a Good Candidate for a Laser Neck Lift Treatment? In order to be considered for a laser neck lift, you should be in reasonably good health and have average body weight for your height and age. You should have body fat deposits that are stubborn and cannot be removed by diet alone.   To learn more about laser neck lifts, contact Dr. Marc T. Taylor to schedule a free initial consultation.
