Ever glanced in the mirror and been surprised by the person staring back at you? You know the feeling — you’re still young at heart, but somehow those pesky vertical bands on your neck didn’t get the memo. The truth is, while we spend countless hours (and dollars) pampering our faces, our necks often tell a different story.
But here’s the good news: that telltale sign of aging doesn’t require going under the knife anymore.
The Neck Doesn’t Lie: Understanding Why Your Neck Ages
When it comes to betraying our age, the neck rarely keeps secrets. Those vertical cords that become more visible with time? They’re called platysma bands, and they’re actually muscles that run from your collarbone all the way up to your chin.
As we journey through life, several factors conspire against our neck’s youthful appearance:
- Time Marches On – With age, the platysma muscles can separate and become more pronounced
- Gravity Gets Greedy – The constant downward pull causes skin to lose its tightness
- Weight Fluctuations – Significant weight loss can make neck bands more noticeable
- Sun Exposure – UV damage accelerates collagen breakdown in this often-neglected area
- Tech Neck – All those hours looking down at our phones? They’re not doing our necks any favors
The result? Those vertical bands start to protrude, creating what many describe as a “turkey wattle” appearance. Not exactly the look most of us are going for.
The NeckOver Revolution: Non-Surgical Neck Rejuvenation
Enter the Rivkin Aesthetics NeckOver — a breakthrough procedure that’s changing how we think about neck rejuvenation. Unlike traditional neck lifts that involve scalpels, significant downtime, and a hefty price tag, the NeckOver delivers remarkable results without surgery.
At its core, the NeckOver is brilliantly simple yet effective. The procedure uses precisely administered neurotoxin injections (like Botox®, Dysport®, or Xeomin®) to relax those overactive platysma bands. When these muscles relax, the neck appears smoother, more contoured, and decidedly more youthful.
💡 Quick Fact: The platysma muscle is one of the few muscles in the body that actually becomes more visible as we age, rather than less defined!
Why Clients Are Flocking to the NeckOver
Let’s be real — nobody wants surgery if they can avoid it. The NeckOver has become a signature procedure at Rivkin Aesthetics for good reason:
Pain? Barely There
- Minimal discomfort during the procedure
- No anesthesia required
- Most patients describe only a small pinch sensation
Time? On Your Side
- Appointments typically take less than 30 minutes
- Perfect for lunch break refreshes
- No downtime means returning to normal activities immediately
Results? Absolutely Worth It
- Visible improvement within 3-7 days
- Effects last for several months
- Natural-looking rejuvenation that complements facial treatments
One client put it perfectly: “It’s like I turned back the clock on my neck without anyone knowing I had anything done.”
The NeckOver Experience: What to Expect
Curious about what happens during a NeckOver procedure? Here’s a peek behind the curtain:
Step 1: Consultation Your journey begins with a personalized consultation at Rivkin Aesthetics in Los Angeles. Dr. Rivkin or one of his expert injectors will assess your neck’s condition and determine the optimal approach for your unique anatomy.
Step 2: The Procedure The NeckOver itself is remarkably straightforward:
- Cleansing of the treatment area
- Strategic marking of injection points
- Precise administration of neurotoxin into the platysma bands
- Optional: Complementary treatments like jawline or chin fillers when needed for optimal results
Step 3: Post-Treatment While there’s essentially no downtime, you might receive simple recommendations like:
- Remaining upright for a few hours after treatment
- Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Skipping facial massages for a week
Beyond the Basics: NeckOver+
For those seeking even more dramatic improvement, the NeckOver can be enhanced with complementary treatments:
- Jawline Definition A well-defined jawline frames the neck beautifully. Strategic filler placement along the jaw creates a more sculpted transition from face to neck.
- Chin Enhancement Sometimes a slightly recessed chin contributes to neck bands. Adding volume to the chin can create better proportion and reduce the appearance of neck laxity.
- Skin Tightening For clients with mild skin laxity, energy-based treatments can be added to improve skin tone and texture for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Real Talk: Who’s the Ideal Candidate?
The NeckOver delivers impressive results, but it’s important to understand who benefits most:
Perfect For:
- Men and women noticing prominent platysma bands
- Those seeking neck rejuvenation without surgery
- Individuals with mild to moderate neck aging
- Patients looking for natural-looking results
