Best Treatments for Turkey Neck

Microneedling is one of the most effective turkey neck treatments without surgery. By stimulating collagen where it naturally breaks down, microneedling helps tighten neck skin, smooth texture, and improve firmness over time.

What Is Turkey Neck and Why Does It Happen?

Turkey neck refers to loose, crepey, or sagging skin under the chin and along the neck. It develops as collagen and elastin weaken due to aging, genetics, sun exposure, and repeated neck movement.

Because neck skin is thinner and more delicate than facial skin, the most effective neck tightening treatments for sagging skin focus on collagen remodeling rather than aggressive resurfacing.

Can Microneedling Tighten Saggy Neck Skin?

Yes. Microneedling for neck tightening works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These trigger the body’s natural healing response, leading to new collagen and elastin production.

Over time, this process helps:

  • Tighten loose neck skin
  • Improve crepey texture
  • Smooth fine lines and wrinkles

Microneedling cannot:

  • Remove large amounts of excess skin
  • Replace surgical lifting procedures

This makes microneedling best suited for mild to moderate sagging rather than severe laxity. As Christina Bell, NP explains, “Patients are amazed by how natural it looks—no scalpel needed.”

What Is the Best Treatment for Turkey Neck?

Microneedling is most effective for mild to moderate sagging neck skin and texture concerns. The best microneedling treatment for turkey neck depends on how loose the skin is and the level of tightening needed.

A professional consultation helps determine the most appropriate approach.

SkinPen Microneedling for the Neck

SkinPen® Precision Elite is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that uses ultrafine needles to stimulate collagen without heat. This makes it a strong option for delicate neck skin and early signs of aging. As Cathryn Alfonzo, BSN, RN at LaserAway notes, “Skin texture improves and becomes so much smoother after just a few treatments.”

SkinPen is best for:

  • Crepey neck skin
  • Fine lines and neck wrinkles
  • Early signs of sagging

Potenza RF Microneedling for Turkey Neck Tightening

For more noticeable laxity, Potenza™ RF Microneedling is often the most effective turkey neck treatment without surgery. Potenza combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered into the dermis, allowing for deeper collagen remodeling and firmer skin. As Arsema Hawariat, LaserAway RN explains, “RF microneedling is like the ultimate two-for-one.”

Potenza is best for:

  • Sagging neck treatment
  • Crepey skin with loss of firmness
  • Deeper neck wrinkles and texture concerns

A free microneedling consultation is essential to determine which neck treatment is appropriate and realistic for your skin.

Can You Treat Turkey Neck at Home?

While skin care for turkey neck at home can support hydration and sun protection, topical products cannot tighten sagging skin or rebuild collagen at meaningful depths.

Professional treatments like microneedling reach deeper layers of skin where collagen is produced. At-home tools and creams may help maintain results but are not a substitute for in-clinic neck tightening treatments.
