A wild turkey is instantly recognizable for many reasons.
These birds are big, sometimes tipping the scales at more than 20 pounds — but what most often catches our eyes is the bright red skin that hangs from the birds' necks.
This fleshy, bumpy skin has a name: the wattle.
Much as it looks beautiful on these birds, its not so attractive on humans!
From the age of about 40, neck skin and muscles become loose and the skin becomes less able to shrink due to neglect, weight loss and weakened muscles. This can also create a lined, banded appearance.
As the neck is also one of the bodys most neglected areas, it can add years onto our true age.
Fat deposits under the jaw can cause sagging and loss of tone which exacerbate the look of the neck.
If your aging neck is truly bothering you, we offer a few non-surgical treatments worth considering. For optimal results, courses of treatments are always advised but if followed properly, the treatments can help to improve the quality and appearance of the skin on your neck:
