Tighten and rejuvenate your neck with NeckTite, a minimally invasive procedure that treats sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area. Using radiofrequency energy, NeckTite contours and firms the neck, giving you a more defined appearance with minimal downtime.
Overview
NeckTite is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten loose skin and reduce fat in the neck area. It is ideal for those looking to address sagging, wrinkles, or excess fat under the chin without needing a traditional neck lift. NeckTite delivers heat energy beneath the skin through a small probe, stimulating collagen production and melting fat for a more contoured, youthful neck. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort and a quicker recovery than surgery.
Indications for NeckTite:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity in the neck
- Excess fat under the chin or along the neck
- Early signs of aging, such as sagging skin or wrinkles in the neck area
- Desire for a more defined jawline and neck contour
Procedure Details
Dr. Elmaraghy begins by administering local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. Small, strategically placed incisions, typically just a few millimeters in size, are made beneath the chin or behind the ears. Through these incisions, a thin, specialized cannula (probe) is inserted. The cannula delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy both internally and externally, targeting the deep layers of skin and the underlying fat. This heat liquefies fat cells while simultaneously tightening the surrounding tissues by stimulating collagen production.
As the RF energy is applied, Dr. Elmaraghy continuously monitors the temperature and energy levels with real-time feedback to ensure precise and safe treatment. The liquefied fat is gently suctioned out through the cannula while the heat causes the skin to contract and tighten. The entire procedure typically takes about one to two hours, depending on the extent of the treatment area, with minimal downtime required for recovery.
Recovery & Results
After your NeckTite procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which typically subsides within 3 to 5 days. Dr. Elmaraghy may recommend wearing a compression garment to support healing and enhance the results.
Most patients return to normal activities within a week. Over the following weeks, as your body heals and collagen production increases, you’ll notice gradual tightening and improved neck contour. Optimal results typically appear within 3 to 6 months, revealing a more defined neck and jawline.
NeckTite FAQs
How Long Does the NeckTite Procedure Take?
The NeckTite procedure typically takes between one to two hours, depending on the size of the treatment area and the amount of fat being removed. Dr. Elmaraghy will provide a more specific time estimate based on your individual needs during your consultation.
Will I Experience Any Pain During the Procedure?
You won’t feel pain during the procedure because it is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report feeling only mild warmth or pressure as the radiofrequency energy is applied. Dr. Elmaraghy ensures your comfort throughout the entire process.
How Long Will the Results Last?
Results from NeckTite can last for several years. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, the natural aging process will continue. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper skin care and avoiding excessive sun exposure, can help prolong your results.
When Will I See the Full Results?
You will notice some improvement immediately after the procedure, but the full results develop gradually. Over the course of 3 to 6 months, as collagen production increases and the skin tightens, the final contour will become more visible.
