Ladies in your late thirties, can somebody please enlighten me when the actual is happening? Right here. What's going on? What's happening? Send help. Hi. I'm a dermatologist, and that's a common question I get from my patients. What about my neck? What should I do there? So here are my top neck tips that I tell my patients. First, it's good to know that your neck starts to age faster than your face. It has thinner skin, so you might start us to notice aging changes there first.

Peptides are cell signaling molecules, so they help signal your skin to stimulate collagen, elastin, better to improve it over time. One of my new favorite neck treatments, if you want a specific product for the neck, is Maylove's new Forever Firm Peptide Neck Treatment. This has a bunch of good peptides in it to help wrinkles, stimulate collagen rank elastin. And the last thing to consider is photobiomodulation or red light therapy. A lot of the companies do make neck and chest devices. This is a a great way to boost the results of everything else you're doing. Hopefully that was helpful. If you have a favorite neck product, let me know in the comments below. And if you have any other questions, I'll try to get
