The neck ages differently from the face and is usually treated later. The skin is thinner, it has less support beneath it, and it folds horizontally every time you look down. Sun reaches it at a different angle, so pigment and rough texture often show there before anywhere else.
RIN treats the neck two ways. Which one suits you depends on what is actually bothering you, and that is what the consultation is for.

The Candela 1940 and 1550 fractional laser heats narrow columns of skin and leaves the skin between them untouched, so the area repairs from the inside out. On the neck the settings are more conservative than on the face, because the skin there is thinner and takes longer to recover.
With a hyperdilute biostimulator
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite product. Diluted well past the concentration used to add volume, and placed just beneath the skin, it stops behaving like a filler and works as a stimulant instead, prompting the skin to build its own collagen over the following weeks. It treats skin quality rather than shape, which is usually what the neck needs.
What it helps with
- Horizontal lines across the neck
- Crepey, thinning texture
- Loss of firmness along the jawline and under the chin
- Sun damage carried down onto the chest
Before your visit
With a hyperdilute biostimulator
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment.
- Stop fish oil, vitamin E, ibuprofen and other blood thinners for three days beforehand if your doctor says it is safe to pause them.
- Come with clean skin.
- Let Jyl know if you have a dental appointment or any vaccination booked within two weeks either side.
With fractional laser
One week before
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and self-tanner.
- Stop retinol and retinoids, exfoliating acids and chemical peels.
- Wear SPF daily.
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or lotions.
The day before
- Your appointment is tomorrow.
- Come with clean skin, free of makeup, moisturizer and sunscreen.
- No sun, no self-tanner.
- If you have had any sun exposure since we spoke, or if anything has changed with your skin, call us today rather than tomorrow so we can decide together whether to go ahead.
After your treatment
With a hyperdilute biostimulator
- This treatment works slowly, so there is very little to see yet and that is exactly as expected.
- Your own collagen rebuilds over the coming months, and the change will be gradual enough that you may notice it first in a photograph.
- Your next session in the series is the point at which we build on this one, so keep that appointment even though you cannot see much yet.
With fractional laser
Today
- Cleanse gently with your fingers only, no cloths and no brushes.
- Apply the moisturizer you were given and nothing else.
- No retinol, no acids, no vitamin C and no scrubs.
- Skip makeup today.
- Avoid exercise, saunas, hot showers and direct sun.
- Redness, warmth and tightness are normal today.
- Call the practice if you have blistering, severe pain, or anything that looks infected.
Tomorrow
- Your skin will feel rough and tight today, and may look slightly bronzed or sandpapery.
- That is the treated tissue working its way out and it is exactly what should be happening.
- Keep cleansing gently and moisturizing often.
- SPF every single day from now on.
- Makeup is usually fine from today if you want it.
- Do not scrub, pick or exfoliate.
- Let everything come away on its own.
In three days
- The roughness should be settling and new skin coming through.
- You can usually bring your normal cleanser back now.
- Wait until the skin is completely smooth and calm before restarting retinol, acids or vitamin C, which is typically around a week.
- Keep wearing SPF daily.
- The result keeps improving for several weeks as collagen rebuilds.
- Call the practice if any area is still raw, painful, or has not healed.
