Topical products can be an effective and non-invasive way to reduce signs of aging in the neck. Products such as serums, creams, and masks containing active ingredients like vitamin A (retinol), antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid can help boost collagen production while providing hydration to the skin.
To help with reducing the appearance of turkey neck, topical products can be very effective, particularly ones containing collagen. This is because collagen forms the foundation of skin, so topping it up will not only prevent the appearance of turkey neck forming but also minimise its appearance.
BBL or broad band light is a type of gentle, non-invasive laser treatment that can be used to improve the appearance of age spots and discoloration on the neck. The HALO laser skin resurfacing technology will improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as create a smoother overall appearance.
While neck surgery may be an option for you, by incorporating targeted exercises, a good skincare routine, and healthy lifestyle choices, you can effectively tighten and tone your neck naturally. Remember, consistency is key, and results may take time.
Do neck firming creams actually work? Yes — to an extent. In GH Beauty Lab testing, some neck creams and treatments (like the winners above) have produced visible and measurable results in firming and smoothing neck skin. But consistency is key: The products were used daily for twelve weeks for best results.
The skin on our necks is one of the thinnest on the body, so the breakdown of collagen and elastin, loss of hyaluronic acid, and photoaging occurs more quickly and noticeably than on most other parts of the body, including the face. So, yes, the neck area can quickly show signs of aging—faster than the face.
Radiofrequency (RF) treatments

As for the claim that a cream or lotion can lift sagging skin, dermatologists say that's not possible. A cream or lotion cannot penetrate the skin deeply enough to do this. Still, you may see a small change if a product contains a retinoid, such as retinol, which can help your body make more collagen.
Treatment: Ultherapy
The result of this process is smoother, tighter and healthier looking skin without surgery. Best area to treat: While Ultherapy can be performed on many areas of the face and neck, one of the most commonly treated areas is the jowls (loose skin along the jawline).
