If you get that reference, Friend, then it’s probably time to start paying attention to your neck.

As we age, we take particular notice of changes in our faces—crinkles by the eyes, lines around the mouth, furrows in the brows. It’s only natural, and it’s a part of life. That’s why many focus their aesthetic journey on these areas. However, if you fail to take your neck into consideration too, this area will undermine all your efforts… literally.

We’re here to tell it like it is, and how it could be. Let’s look at some recommendations from the experts about taking care of this oft-overlooked area:

Practice Safe Necks
Preventative measures can literally save your neck. Use sunscreen. Wear protective clothing and scarves to shield yourself from too much sun when needed. Consider your neck as an extension of your face and treat it with the same TLC.

Consider Enhancement Products
There are a variety of creams and skin products available to help, including skinbetter Techno Neck Perfecting Cream. This award-winning treatment enhances the appearance and texture of the neck and décolleté area.

Take It to the Necks Level
When you’re ready to take your relationship with your neck to the next level, we have a wide range of powerful treatment options for improving color, texture, and firmness:

• We often use Botox to relax the platysmal bands in the neck. This relaxation sharpens the appearance of the jawline.
• Our wide range of lasers are great for overall skin appearance. BroadBand Light (BBL) is used for brown and red discoloration, while MOXI™ can address browns as well as texture.
• Combine Sylfirm and Ulthera to tighten up loose skin. Then, stack your results with collagen stimulators like Radiesse.
• Need some support? We can improve the skin on your neck with strategic hyaluronic acid injections, a. k. a. SkinVive, for improved smoothness, skin quality, and hydration.

Everybody has a neck. Whatever your goals are, we’ll work with you on a custom treatment plan that will have you showing off your neck instead of keeping it under wraps. So let’s talk about all the good things (and bad things that may be)! Book a neck consultation today.

RESEARCH CORNER

Our Docs are Rockin' It

Two of Compass Dermatology’s dream team, Drs. Julia Carroll and Sonya Cook, recently presented their latest findings on a new-to-Canada treatment at a clinical research conference in Toronto.

The treatment, known as VAMP™, is a non-invasive skin booster used after microneedling or lasers. It contains a blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and PDRN, a substance extracted from salmon sperm cells—which is why it’s referred to as the “salmon sperm facial.”

Our doctors’ research has shown that VAMP improves results and decreases laser and microneedling recovery time. It also supports collagen growth and restores skin’s glow and hydration.
