The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Sagging skin, horizontal bands, and crepey texture can appear suddenly, even if the rest of your face still looks youthful. Fortunately, surgery isn’t the only solution. At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, we offer Exilis Ultra—a non-invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to tighten, lift, and smooth the delicate skin of the neck without any downtime.

Whether you’re seeing early signs of aging or you’re looking to improve the firmness and contour of your jawline and neck, Exilis Ultra offers a safe and effective solution.

Why the Neck Ages Differently

The skin on your neck is thinner and more delicate than on your face, which makes it more susceptible to:

• Loss of collagen and elastin

• Sun damage

• Loss of underlying fat and muscle tone

• Repeated motion from turning, looking down, or posture

These factors can lead to:

• Sagging skin (“turkey neck”)

• Horizontal lines or “tech neck” bands

• Wrinkling or crepey texture

• Jawline laxity or jowling

Because the neck is often exposed but not consistently protected (with sunscreen, for example), it frequently ages faster than other areas. Exilis Ultra is a non-surgical option that addresses these concerns effectively and comfortably.

How Exilis Ultra Rejuvenates the Neck

Exilis Ultra is the first and only device to combine radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound in one applicator. This dual energy approach allows for more efficient and deeper penetration into the skin layers—resulting in enhanced collagen remodeling and improved skin elasticity.

Here’s how it works:

• Radiofrequency energy heats the dermis and subdermal layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

• Ultrasound energy assists by allowing the RF heat to penetrate more deeply and more uniformly, improving efficacy.

• The treatment is applied in a continuous, sweeping motion to gently but effectively heat the tissue to a precise therapeutic temperature.

Benefits for the Neck:

• Lifts sagging skin

• Reduces horizontal neck lines

• Improves firmness and elasticity

• Smooths crepey texture

• Defines the jawline

What to Expect During Treatment

At our Cincinnati practice, your provider will begin with a consultation to determine your goals and ensure you’re a good candidate for neck treatment with Exilis Ultra.

During the procedure:

• You’ll lie comfortably while the device is moved over your neck area

• The treatment feels like a warm stone massage

• No anesthesia or numbing is required

• Each session takes about 20 to 30 minutes

• Most patients require no recovery time

Because the treatment is gentle and customizable, it’s safe for all skin types and tones.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

For neck rejuvenation, we typically recommend a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. Each session builds on the previous one, gradually tightening the skin and improving tone and texture.

Results are progressive, with continued improvement over the following 8 to 12 weeks after your final treatment.

When Will You See Results?

You may notice some initial firmness after your first treatment, but the real magic happens over time. As collagen production increases, you’ll begin to see:

• Smoother, tighter skin

• A more youthful neckline

• Reduced visibility of fine lines and wrinkles

Maximum results typically appear within 2 to 3 months, and they can last 6 to 12 months or more with maintenance.

Is There Any Downtime?

No downtime is required after Exilis Ultra treatments. You can return to your normal routine immediately. Mild redness may appear temporarily, but it usually subsides within an hour or two.

There are no needles, incisions, or anesthesia—making it a convenient lunch-hour treatment for even the busiest schedules.

How Exilis Ultra Compares to Other Neck Treatments

There are many neck rejuvenation options, but Exilis Ultra stands out for its:

• Dual-energy approach: Combining RF and ultrasound for deeper, more consistent results

• Comfort: No pain, no recovery, no needles

• Customizability: Adjustable intensity for delicate areas

• Skin safety: Integrated cooling system to protect surface tissue

Compared to other non-invasive technologies like laser or microneedling, Exilis Ultra can be more comfortable and more effective for mild to moderate skin laxity in the neck.

Can It Replace a Surgical Neck Lift?

Exilis Ultra is not a substitute for surgery in cases of severe skin laxity or muscle banding. However, for many patients who are not ready for surgery—or who want to delay it—it can provide noticeable lifting and firming without the risks, cost, or recovery associated with invasive procedures.

It’s also a popular post-surgical maintenance treatment to help extend the results of a neck lift or facelift.
