Neck Laxity (“Tech Neck”) → Exion Face + Emface Submentum + RF Neck Tightening

Problem: Neck laxity, tech neck, crepey loose skin, deep lines, early jowling. Solution: Exion RF + Ultrasound + Emface Submentum + RF Neck Tightening

Problem: Neck Laxity (“Tech Neck”)

Between smartphones, laptops, Zoom meetings, and years of sun exposure, the neck takes a beating.

While the face gets most of the attention, the neck often tells the real story of aging.

Tech Neck shows up as:

  • deep horizontal “neck rings”
  • crepey, thinning neck skin
  • sagging or loose skin under the chin
  • early jowling
  • deep vertical “accordion” lines
  • a softer, looser jawline
  • visible banding

The neck has less collagen, fewer oil glands, and thinner tissue, which means it ages up to three times faster than the face — and responds poorly to most topical treatments.

But here’s the good news:

You do not need surgery to tighten your neck.

You just need the right combination of collagen rebuilding, muscle support, and targeted skin tightening.

Solution: Exion Face + Emface Submentum + RF Neck Protocol

Pollard Preventative uses a strategic, physician-designed protocol that lifts, tightens, and firms the entire neck + under-chin region from multiple angles.

Emface Submentum (Under-Chin Lift)

The submentum applicator uses synchronized RF + HIFES™ to:

  • tighten under-chin skin
  • tone the platysma and lower-face muscles
  • improve early jowling
  • sharpen the jawline
  • reduce “double chin” softness
  • improve overall contour and lift

This gives the neck structure — the foundation needed for a youthful profile.

Exion Face RF Microneedling (Skin Quality + Neck Lines)

This strengthens and thickens delicate neck skin, improving:

  • neck rings
  • crepey texture
  • skin laxity
  • tone and firmness
  • fine vertical banding

RF Neck Protocol (Non-MicroRF Neck Tightening Protocol (Deep Support)

Uniform thermal energy tightens the deeper collagen layers for:

  • long-term firmness
  • improved elasticity
  • smoother neck contour

Together, these three technologies deliver a non-surgical “airbrushed neck” effect that looks natural, firm, and beautifully youthful without the surgical “over-pulled” look and feel.

How the Exion + Emface Neck Protocol Works

  • Emface Submentum — Structural Lift & Muscle Support: By toning the muscles under the jawline and tightening the submental tissue, Emface Submentum restores definition that softens with age and screen posture.
  • Exion Face — Deep Collagen Remodeling: RF microneedling increases collagen + elastin density, transforming thin, crepey neck skin into firmer, smoother tissue.
  • RF Neck Protocol — Thermal Tightening: Uniform heating tightens existing collagen fibers and stimulates new structural support in deeper layers that microneedling alone cannot reach.
  • Lift + Tighten + Firm: Each modality reinforces the others, delivering a comprehensive neck transformation.

The result? Smoother, firmer skin that doesn’t look like you need a screentime alarm.

Why Choose Pollard Preventative?

The neck requires a specialized approach — not the same settings or techniques used on the face.

Our three-modality protocol doesn’t just tighten skin — it lifts the jawline, restores structure, and rejuvenates the entire neck for results that look naturally firm and balanced.

Physician-Led Aesthetic Expertise

Under Dr. Pollard’s guidance, treatments are designed to lift the neck while keeping the results natural and balanced with the face.

Triple-Modality Treatment for Best Results

We combine muscle lifting, skin tightening, and collagen remodeling for deeper, longer-lasting improvement.

No Surgery, No Threads, No Downtime

Just safe, targeted regeneration that leaves your neck smoother, tighter, and more defined.

Frequently Asked Questions

When the protocol includes Emface Submentum, we follow the same accelerated schedule used for all HIFES™ muscle-building treatments. That means you’ll complete 4 sessions over about 2-4 weeks, usually at a pace of 1-2 treatments per week.

Why so fast?

The submentum applicator strengthens and lifts the muscles under the jawline — and muscles respond best to frequent, clustered stimulation, not treatments spaced weeks apart. This schedule gives you faster tightening under the chin, better jawline definition, and more noticeable lift.

Exion Face and RF Neck Tightening layer beautifully into the same timeline, allowing us to treat the skin, muscle, and deeper collagen all within a short, high-impact rejuvenation window.

Most patients notice early tightening quickly, with full results building steadily over the next 8–12 weeks. Maintenance is typically every 6–12 months, depending on how your skin responds.

Yes — this is one of the biggest benefits.

Emface Submentum targets the muscles under the jawline, which improves definition and helps lift early jowling. Exion Face tightens the skin above it, and RF deep tightening supports everything underneath.

It’s a three-layer upgrade for the jawline — no threads required.

Absolutely. The neck is more delicate than the face, which is exactly why we use controlled, measured, physician-guided energy. Exion Face stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid without overheating the fragile neck tissue, and RF tightening is carefully adjusted to your tolerance and skin condition.

Many patients with thin neck skin notice the biggest improvements because collagen rebuilding makes such a dramatic difference.

Exion RF + Targeted Ultrasound is often compared to Ultherapy, which is painful and has limited effect on thin neck skin. Exion is a more advanced, safer technology than Ultherapy. Exion combines RF + Targeted Ultrasound. Ultherapy is ultrasound only. Studies show vast improvement with RF combined technologies.

Many patients see early tightening within a few weeks, but the real transformation unfolds over 8–12 weeks as collagen & elastin increases and muscles strengthen.

Results typically last years with regular maintenance, prodigious sunblock use, limiting environmental factors like smoke, a healthy diet of high protein and low sugar, and good skincare habits.
