TURKEY NECK HELP

10 replies

I’m 39 and been through a lot besides the ordinary ageing process which has resulted in the skin under my chin starting to lose elasticity, and I’m considering getting threads. Before I do, has anyone found any products that genuinely make a noticeable difference?

It IS the ordinary ageing process! Have you tried Tretinoin, LED mask, or other devices?
The recommended creams and serums just moisturise.
I would never have threads, too many bad reviews, short lasting , expensive.
You haven’t got a turkey neck! I’ve never tried it, but some recommend microneedling.

It’s normal to loose elasticity as you age. Just moisturise.

I’ve found that over the years I suddenly notice wrinkles appearing. I seem to stay the same for a few years and then suddenly ‘age’. It’s an on-going process obviously but I think we just suddenly notice the change. Your neck looks fine.

Looks fine to me

Threads made zero difference to me, apart from leaving me looking bruised for 2 weeks.
Threw away £600.
That was just my personal experience.

Too many bad reviews, threads are out for me!

You seriously do not have a turkey neck. Your neck is just a normal neck. Lots of necks you see on line that are tight and shiny have had some sort of cosmetic procedure, are photo enhanced, or are taped back for photos!

Most skin issues are genetic and there is not much you can do about that, other than embrace it.

Vitamin C serum made a huge difference to mine

This is utterly normal. I started feeling self conscious about that area too and recently switched to a specific neck moisturiser, I might be delusional but I feel like it's making a nice difference. I did a fair bit of research (certainly didn't want to pay hundreds for something which might not even work) and the best reviewed budget cream I found is YEOUTH Neck Firming Cream, got it off Amazon.

Im bit older than you and I’ve been using l’oreal revitalift peptides serum. No idea if I’m optimistic and imagining it but I think it’s made a difference!
