Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt frustrated by the appearance of stubborn neck fat? Many people struggle with excess fat accumulation around the neck, which can make you look older or heavier than you are. While it can be frustrating for self-confidence, the good news is that there are advanced medical treatments that help you get rid of neck fat and restore a youthful, sculpted neckline. At Evenly Skin and Hair Clinic, our expert dermatologists are here to guide you through the best fat removal options, so you can regain your confidence and feel great in your skin.

In this blog, we’ll explore why fat accumulates around the neck and discuss effective neck fat removal treatment options and how a neck lift can redefine your profile.

Neck fat: Why does it accumulate?

Neck fat, or submental fat, is a common concern for many individuals, and it can be stubborn and challenging to eliminate. Before knowing the treatment options to address, let’s find out why it accumulates. And what factors contribute:

  • Aging: As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and the muscles in the neck begin to weaken. This can lead to sagging of the skin and the accumulation of fat in the neck area.
  • Genetics: Your genetics play a significant role in where your body stores fat. If your family members tend to have fat in the neck area, you are prone to fat accumulation around the neck area.
  • Weight gain: An increase in overall body weight often results in fat accumulation in various body parts, including the neck area. This is particularly common in individuals with a high body mass index.
  • Posture: Constantly looking down at your phone or an object while working can lead to poor posture, which can weaken the neck muscles and lead to fat accumulation.
  • Hormonal changes: Hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause, can lead to fat redistribution around the neck.
  • Lack of exercise: Regular physical activity helps burn calories and tone muscles, reducing fat accumulation.

Understanding the root causes is vital to choosing an effective neck fat removal option to address this concern.

Can you reverse neck fat?

It is possible to eliminate fat accumulation and neck lifting with the help of advanced skin tightening treatment options available at Evenly Clinic. Skin tightening treatments not only tighten the sagging skin; with their effectiveness, they also remove the fat beneath the skin. Neck exercises can help to sculpt the neck to some extent, but they do not eliminate the fat.

Neck Fat Removal Treatments Offered at Evenly Clinic

When it comes to neck fat removal, Evenly Clinic offers a variety of treatments to choose from. Each treatment is designed to target fat in the neck area effectively, and the best option for you will depend on your specific needs. Below are the most popular neck fat removal options available:

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

HIFU is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target and reduce fat cells while tightening the skin. It’s an excellent option for those looking to address both neck fat and skin laxity without surgery.

  • Procedure: HIFU delivers ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, where it heats the targeted fat cells and stimulates collagen production. This dual action results in fat reduction and skin tightening.
  • Recovery: There is minimal downtime with HIFU. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment, with some mild redness or swelling that typically resolves within a few hours.
  • Results: The results of HIFU develop in one single session, and optimal results can take over 2 to 3 months as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells and new collagen forms. This leads to a slimmer, more defined neck.

RF (Radiofrequency) Tightening

RF tightening is another non-invasive treatment that effectively reduces neck fat while tightening the skin. It works by delivering radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas, heating the fat cells, and stimulating collagen production.

  • Procedure: During the RF tightening procedure, a handheld device delivers controlled RF energy to the neck area. The heat generated by the RF energy breaks down fat cells and encourages collagen production, which tightens the skin.
  • Recovery: RF tightening has no downtime, and most patients can return to their regular activities right after the treatment. It’s possible that some people will feel a slight redness or warmth where the treatment was applied, which normally fades away quickly.
  • Results: Patients can expect gradual improvements in both fat reduction and skin firmness over the weeks following treatment. Optimal results are usually seen after multiple sessions, depending on the severity of the neck fat and skin laxity.

What is a neck lift, and how can it be achieved?

A neck lift involves removing excess skin and fat from the neck and tightening the muscles to create a more defined and youthful appearance. This can be achieved by performing an advanced procedure like HIFU and RF tightening. This helps to address skin laxity and fat accumulation.

Prevention and maintenance

After undergoing neck fat removal treatments or a neck lift, maintaining your results is crucial. Here are some tips to help you maintain a youthful and sculpted neck:

  • Eat a balanced diet rich in nutrients that helps maintain a healthy weight and prevents fat accumulation.
  • Engaging in regular physical activity, especially exercises that target the neck and jawline, can help keep the area toned.
  • Incorporate products that promote collagen production and skin elasticity, such as retinoids and hyaluronic acid, into your skincare routine.
  • Protect your skin from sun damage by wearing sunscreen, and avoiding excessive sun exposure can prevent premature aging and skin laxity.
