EVERESSE Featured in Marie Claire

The neck has unique aging concerns that have been historically difficult to treat non-invasively. A recent article in Marie Claire highlighted some of the non-invasive technologies that can help firm and tighten the neck area, including the EVERESSE monopolar radiofrequency treatment. Below is an excerpt from 5 Non-Invasive Neck Treatments That Can Help Firm Skin and Smooth Wrinkles, written by Kristin Limoges. 

The neck is a unique part of the body, particularly cruel at spilling the secrets our face is trying to keep. “The neck shows aging more quickly because the skin is thinner, has fewer collagen-producing cells, and is constantly in motion from looking down at devices,” says Rishi Chopra, MD, MS, FAAD.

“These concerns aren’t unique to the neck, but they tend to appear earlier and progress faster there because the skin structure is more delicate and the area is constantly moving,” says Dendy Engelman, MD, FACMS, FAAD.

EVERESSE

EVERESSE is a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin in a controlled way. “When that tissue warms up, it triggers your body to produce fresh collagen, which is what gives skin its firmness and structure,” says Dr. Engelman. “The big difference is that EVERESSE delivers that heat very smoothly and consistently, without the ‘hot spots’ older devices can create,” she adds. It also cools the skin at the same time, so patients note that the treatment feels perfectly comfortable. “The neck responds incredibly well to controlled radiofrequency because it’s an area where collagen loss shows quickly,” says Dr. Engelman. “EVERESSE is a great fit because it treats the full thickness of the skin safely and evenly, precisely what the neck needs to improve crepiness, horizontal lines, and laxity,” she notes.

• Ideal Patient: Since the treatment is gentle but effective, you can tighten and smooth the neck without bruising, swelling, or extensive recovery. It’s ideal for any skin type with mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, or loss of firmness.
• What Does It Feel Like? EVERESSE is easy to incorporate into your daily routine, as there’s no numbing and no downtime. “Patients usually describe it as warm, like a hot-stone massage,” says Dr. Engelman. Skin may look slightly pink for a few minutes, but that fades quickly. Most patients go right back to work or plans, she says.
• Results: Individuals will notice some immediate tightening from the heat effect, but the real improvement comes gradually. “Long-term collagen stimulation will begin at four weeks and peak at 12 weeks,” says. Dr. Henry. A series of two to three treatments yields the best and longest-lasting results.
