Understanding the Ageing Neck
Signs of ageing in the neck manifest in two primary ways, often simultaneously:
The skin on the neck is thinner and has fewer oil glands than the face, making it more susceptible to environmental damage and dehydration. Over time, collagen and elastin break down, leading to a loss of firmness and the formation of fine, crepey lines and deeper horizontal wrinkles.
These are the vertical bands that become more prominent with age. They are caused by the underlying platysma muscles, which can thicken and separate over time, creating a “turkey neck” appearance.
Effective rejuvenation requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses both skin quality and the underlying muscle structure.

How we at Shumaila’s can treat this
We provide a full spectrum of care for the ageing neck, from advanced non-surgical skin tightening to definitive surgical solutions, allowing us to create a truly bespoke treatment plan.

3 days agoI cannot recommend Hadiya highly enough! I had a course of three treatments combining radiofrequency, microneedling, and polynucleotide therapy after the clinic recommended it to treat the loose skin and loss of elasticity on my neck following weight loss. The results have been incredible. After just the second treatment, the loose skin had virtually disappeared and the texture and firmness of my skin improved beyond my expectations. This treatment really does work! Hadiya is professional, knowledgeable and made me feel completely at ease throughout the whole process. Her expertise and attention to detail have delivered amazing results and I can't thank her enough. I'll definitely recommend both Hadiya and the clinic to anyone considering these treatments.

284 days ago⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I honestly can’t recommend Simi enough for my laser treatments! From the very first session, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease — which can be such a big thing when you’re getting laser done. She’s incredibly professional, but also genuinely warm and friendly, which makes the whole experience so much better. The results have been amazing — I’ve noticed such a big difference since starting with her, and my skin has never looked or felt this good. You can tell straight away that she really knows her stuff; she’s super knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly, so you always know what’s happening and why. On top of that, she’s also brilliant at eyebrows. Every time I leave an appointment, I feel so confident because she goes that extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in giving the best service possible. If you’re thinking about laser or any beauty treatments, Simi is 100% the person to go to. She’s experienced, caring, and truly dedicated to her work. I always look forward to my appointments with her and couldn’t be happier with the results!

288 days agoShumaila staff at the Chigwell branch are friendly, very professional and know what they a are doing. I went with skin concerns and they recommended the right treatments (things I didn't even know about), they took their time to talk me through the treatments, time to consider and answer all my questions. I get a range of treatments and recommend them all highly, in particular Bushra at the Chigwell branch who is very patient and knowledgeable. My skin is always glowing, its tightened and wrinkles are massively reduced. I feel 10 years younger.

455 days agoI've had 4 rounds of Lemon Bottle fat dissolving injections in the back of the neck (buffalo hump) area which is basically impossible to reduce with excercise and I'm already noticing a big difference. The receptionist and doctor are very friendly and welcoming, and the environment is very clean and relaxing even for someone with anxiety.

790 days agoI would like to share my whole journey I had a skin which I never understood what it is exactly. It has a shattered pigmentation, especially my neck area. when I was searching for my skin condition I came across Shumaila. I have checked their Instagram page and all those before and after were so attractive. I have decided that yes I have to come to these guys, then I sent an enquiry and I was called by a lady Nazia who is the head of treatment. She has explained to me and booked me in for a face-to-face consultation. it was a very detailed consultation and I was convinced they have started me for my de-pigmentation journey. I have followed every step and I had throughout the process guidance. All the staff are extremely friendly and definitely they are the best even my kids love them I am here for my skin checkup today and I am surely jumping to the moon. I am very happy and I’m really really pleased that I have chose right people, even though it was my first time and I trusted them I made this journey, everything was worth it. Thank you, Nazia and thank you Shumaila you guys are the bestest

976 days agoI recently had the pleasure of experiencing anti-aging treatments with Nazia, and I must say it was a wonderful journey from start to finish. The hospitality and service provided were exceptional, making me thrilled to be a part of this clinic. Nazia's expertise and the overall atmosphere made me comfortable, and the added benefit of discounts for booking multiple sessions at once was a fantastic bonus. I am excited to continue my sessions with confidence. Sandra Bell

At Shumaila’s, we understand that every double chin is unique, requiring personalised treatment approaches.
Our comprehensive range of solutions allows us to recommend the most appropriate option based on your specific concerns, lifestyle, and desired outcomes.
Non Surgical
First-Line Treatments

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin’s foundational layers, including the SMAS layer targeted in surgery. This creates thermal coagulation points, triggering a powerful collagen-building process that tightens and lifts the skin from within.
Ideal for
Mild to moderate skin laxity, jowling, and improving the overall neck contour
Results
A noticeable lifting and tightening effect that develops over 2-3 months as new collagen is produced
Management
Typically a single session is required, with results lasting over a year

Morpheus8
Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to remodel tissue at a subdermal level. It is exceptionally effective for treating crepey skin and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production in the dermis, resulting in significant textural improvement and skin tightening.
Ideal for
Improving crepey skin texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality on the neck.
Results
Firmer, smoother, and thicker skin, with results building over a course of 3 treatments
Management
Some redness and swelling for a few days post-treatment. Annual maintenance is recommended

RF Microneedling
This treatment creates controlled micro-channels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency heat to stimulate collagen and elastin. It is excellent for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and mild skin laxity on the neck.
Ideal for
General rejuvenation of neck skin texture and addressing early signs of ageing
Results
Gradual improvement in skin firmness and smoothness over a series of 3-6 sessions
Management
Minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for ongoing skin maintenance
Progressive Treatments
Advanced & Combination

PDO Thread Lift
A PDO Thread Lift provides an immediate mechanical lift while also stimulating long-term collagen production. Absorbable threads are strategically placed under the skin to lift sagging tissue and redefine the jawline and neck contour.
Ideal for
Patients with moderate skin laxity who desire an immediate lift without surgery
Results
An instant lift is visible, with further skin tightening and rejuvenation over the following months
Management
A minimally invasive procedure with a few days of social downtime

Profhilo®
Profhilo is an injectable “bio-remodelling” treatment that delivers a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin. It is perfect for treating crepey, dehydrated skin on the neck.
Ideal for
Improving skin quality, hydration, and elasticity, specifically targeting crepey texture
Results
Skin appears more hydrated, plump, and smooth. Two sessions are required one month apart
Management
Maintenance sessions are recommended every 6 months to preserve results
Definitive Treatments
Surgical Solutions

Face and Neck Lift
For patients with significant skin laxity, jowling, and prominent platysmal bands, a surgical neck lift (often combined with a facelift) offers the most dramatic and long-lasting solution. The procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening the underlying muscles (platysmaplasty), and re-draping the skin for a smooth, youthful contour.
Ideal for
Significant “turkey neck,” deep wrinkles, and severe skin sagging
Results
A transformative and permanent improvement in the neck and jawline contour
Management
This is a surgical procedure requiring significant downtime for recovery, performed by a specialist plastic surgeon

Frequent Asked Questions
For mild to moderate laxity, a combination of HIFU to lift and Morpheus8 to tighten the skin is highly effective. For prominent platysmal bands, anti-wrinkle injections can also be used to relax the muscles, often in conjunction with skin tightening treatments.
Horizontal neck lines are best treated with a combination of skin resurfacing (like RF Microneedling or Morpheus8) to build collagen and injectable treatments like Profhilo or very soft dermal fillers to plump out the lines.
For treatments like HIFU and Profhilo, there is virtually no downtime. Morpheus8 and PDO Threads may involve a few days of mild swelling, redness, or bruising. Your clinician will advise you on the specific recovery for your chosen treatment.
A surgical neck lift is best for individuals with significant skin excess and muscle laxity that cannot be adequately addressed with non-surgical methods. A consultation with a plastic surgeon is required to determine your candidacy.
Daily application of broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen to your face, neck, and chest is the single most important step. Additionally, using medical-grade skincare containing retinoids and antioxidants, and maintaining good posture to avoid “tech neck” can help preserve a youthful appearance.
