There are fantastic non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures available that are affordable. We can tailor a treatment plan specifically for you and your budget. Treatments are usually done at 2-3 week intervals. At Atlantic dermatology & laser we also offer Face, neck and Chest Packages as a combo price, because we understand the importance of treating the whole area.
WHEN SHOULD I START?
Starting at an early age (I’m talking thirties) is the optimal age, however improvement can be made at ANY age. ( I always say you are never too young or too old to take good care of your skin) Unfortunately, most of us only start to think about treating our decollete and neck areas when the skin is severely damaged. Starting at a younger age with non-invasive light and laser therapy is a very effective method for stimulating the collagen and improving the overall texture, colour and tone of the neck.
SIGNS THAT YOUR SKIN IS STARTING TO LOOK AGED:
Pigmentation/ Redness and Veins Poikiloderma/Turkey Neck
Lines and Wrinkles
Sagging skin
HERE ARE THE LATEST TREATMENTS TO KEEP YOUR NECK LOOKING SMOOTH AND TIGHT!
Cherie Cochrane – Founder of Atlantic Dermatology and laser, describes her GO-TO procedure to tighten her neck. This involves 3 powerful rejuvenating treatments all combined together AND done on the same day!
The aesthetic industry has evolved so much over the last decade, there is now “combination treatment” for the neck which ensures great results with minimal recovery time.
BBL FOREVER YOUNG. This is a world-class procedure with NO DOWNTIME. A clinical study was done on BBL Forever Young, proving that patients treated with only 2x BBL treatments per year, for a 10 year period, all showed significant signs of delayed skin ageing, in fact after the 8 year clinical trial, all patients actually looked younger than when they had started! I have currently been BBL’ing my own skin for 10 years and counting!
NANO LASER RESURFACING – If your neck needs a little something extra, then this one is for you. This laser gently heats and tightens the skin as it works. It also removes dead, dull skin from the surface, forcing regeneration of a new healthier skin.
DERMAPEN 4 is the gold standard in dermal needling and a cutting-edge skin treatment designed to improve the look of wrinkles, scarring, pigmentation, stretch marks for the face and body and also reduces acne.
DOWNTIME
If you start at an early age with preventative treatments, your downtime won’t be as long, as your treatments will be less aggressive.

WHAT CAN I DO TO TREAT NECK WRINKLES AND SAGGING?
Prevention is better than cure, so start early! RETINOIDS and SUNBLOCK. These two important products are vital in preventing damage and maintaining healthy tight skin. Read my article here on choosing the right type of sunscreen and how retinol is used to rejuvenate the skin.
If you are concerned about your skin and you want to improve your skin texture and appear more youthful, especially for this upcoming summer, book a skin consultation with one of our AD&L Skin & Laser Specialists. We will help you get rid of years and years of sun damage.
