The neck ages faster than the face. Ultraformer MPT is the non-invasive technology with best documented results for tightening the neck and reducing double chin in patients with mild to moderate sagging. Visible results at 6-12 weeks.
Why Is the Neck So Complicated to Rejuvenate?
The neck has several particularities that make it complex:
- Thinner skin: the cervical dermis is thinner than the facial.
- Less structural fat: there's little subcutaneous support tissue.
- Constant movement: rotation, flexion and extension 24/7.
- Accumulated sun exposure: often neglected in protection.
- "Tech neck": prolonged screen use generates premature lines.
Double Chin Types: Fat vs Sagging
| Double chin type | Cause | Ideal treatment |
|---|---|---|
| By sagging | Loss of dermal/SMAS tone | Ultraformer MPT |
| By fat | Submental accumulation | Deoxycholate or cryolipolysis |
| Mixed (most common) | Sagging + fat | Ultraformer MPT + deoxycholate |
| By muscle excess (platysma) | Hypertonicity | Botulinum toxin + Ultraformer |
How Ultraformer MPT Works on the Neck
On the neck we use the three Ultraformer MPT cartridges in specific order:
- 4.5mm cartridge in submandibular and submental area to treat cervical SMAS and produce structural lifting effect.
- 3.0mm cartridge across entire neck for deep dermal neocollagenesis.
- 1.5mm cartridge in anterior platysma area and horizontal wrinkles to improve superficial quality.
Typical cervical protocol uses 250-400 shots total depending on neck size and sagging severity.
Expected Weekly Results
- Day 1: slight tightening from existing collagen thermal contraction.
- Week 2-4: silent phase, little visible.
- Week 6: notable change. Defined jaw, visibly reduced double chin.
- Month 3: result peak. Smoother neck, attenuated cervical rings.
- Month 6: consolidated result, maintained 12-18 months.
