EVERESSE Featured in Goop
The neck can be a common area of concern for many women. A recent article in Goop highlighted the various ways to prevent and correct skin aging in the neck area from at-home skincare to in-office treatments, including EVERESSE monopolar radiofrequency. Below is an excerpt from Nora Ephron Warned the Neck Reckoning Would Come. I Wish I Had Listened Sooner., written by Didi Gluck.
The truth is, most of us don’t think about our necks until it’s too late. We can position our faces just so for a selfie, but once movement enters the picture—talking, laughing, looking both ways before crossing the street—every bit of looseness shows. And while I’d been faithfully hyaluronic acid-ing, vitamin C-ing, and SPF-ing everything north of my jawline, I’d largely ignored the real estate south of it. Add in thinner skin, fewer oil glands, and constant motion, and I came to realize I had practically been courting a turkey neck for the last 10 years.
Explore in-office treatments
At a certain point, many women consider seeking more intensive treatments that can only be found at a dermatologist’s or plastic surgeon’s office. And it makes sense anatomically, says Ahmedli. “Once you hit 45, you begin to experience bony reabsorption,” she says. This scary-sounding term refers to the gradual loss or breakdown of bone tissue that naturally occurs with aging. But in the face and neck, this can result in what we so lovingly refer to as turkey waddle.
For this population, “My patients can’t get off the Everesse machine.” The monopolar (single continuous pulse) RF treatment delivers heat deep in the dermis to spark collagen production. Unlike energy-based treatments that go this deep on bonier areas of the face, this treatment can go deeper on the neck because there’s more fat. Continuous water cooling protects the skin’s surface, so you don’t feel the heat. [Quote attributed to dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman, MD, FAAD, FACMS.]
