Just as each person is different, so is the way that they age. Some people get older, yet you would never actually know it since they still look pretty much the same. Then there are people who do not age as well, and sagging skin becomes one of the main indicators of this fact.
This is why some people consider getting a necklift. This is a surgical procedure in which small incisions are made and the skin and muscles are tightened. In order to determine whether or not you would be a good candidate for a necklift, it is important to keep several things in mind.

Thermage is a single-treatment, non invasive procedure that helps smooth and tighten the skin for a naturally younger looking appearance – without surgery or injections and little to no downtime.
With Face by Thermage you can have: Smoother and tighter skin, contouring along the jaw line and under the chin, and softening of wrinkles around mouth, eyes and forehead. Thermage can be used to tighten skin of the face, neck, forehead, eyes, and various parts of the body.
The facial skin is made up of three distinct layers: a visible outer layer on the surface called the epidermis, a collagen-rich underlayer beneath the surface called the dermis, and an inner layer beneath the dermis called the subcutaneous layer, also known as the fat layer that has a web of collagen fibers running through it. When the collagen in these three layers breaks down due to sun exposure, family heredity, or the normal aging process, your face begins to sag and wrinkle. Naturally, treatments that work on just the surface can’t do anything to restore the collagen in the underlayer or the innerlayer of your skin. Thermage tightens existing collagen and stimulates new collagen growth for skin that looks and feels noticeably smoother and tighter. Results vary from subtle to dramatic. Generally improvements are immediately visible and continue for up to six months. Results are long lasting depending on your skin condition and the aging process. Individuals 35-60 normally have the best and most predictable results. If your skin is too lax, the results will not be as dramatic – and may be better treated by rejuvenation surgery.
