Introduction
Introduction to Neck Fillers
Neck fillers can correct a range of age-related imperfections that interfere with a vibrant appearance and healthy self-confidence. Whether you are troubled by stubborn submental fat or you wish to eradicate horizontal “tech lines” and vertical muscle banding, our skilled providers at Facial Aesthetic Concepts in San Clemente, Aliso Viejo, and Rancho Santa Margarita (Orange County), CA, can create a customized treatment plan using today’s most advanced, cutting-edge injectables.
What Are Neck Fillers?
Like the face, the neck can also be significantly impacted by the decline in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production that occurs with aging. Without a steady supply of these vital compounds, the neck can succumb to wrinkles, crepe-like skin, sagging, prominent muscle banding, and the accumulation of exercise-resistant fat beneath the chin.
At our world-class practice in San Clemente, Aliso Viejo, and Rancho Santa Margarita, we offer an array of non-invasive solutions to correct imperfections in the neck and restore a youthful, rejuvenated appearance you will love. Some options for treating the neck non-surgically include the following:
- Kybella – Works to trim excess fat under the chin, reshaping the profile without surgery.
- Juvederm Ultra XC – Improves skin tone while erasing wrinkles and lines, creating a smoother, more revitalized appearance in the neck.
- Restylane Contour – This product reduces wrinkles and sculpts the neck’s contours non-invasively
- Restylane Lyft – Lyft is known for making the neck appear firmer, smoother, and more refined
- BOTOX – While technically not a dermal filler, BOTOX can be injected to help relax prominent vertical neck bands, leading to a more attractive, inviting look

Who Are the Best Candidates for Neck Fillers?

Once more pronounced skin sagging is present, consider a surgical neck lift. Good candidates for neck fillers are healthy individuals with realistic expectations for their results. To make sure that no contraindications are present and that your unique goals will be achieved with neck fillers, we will meet with you for a private consultation in San Clemente, Aliso Viejo, or Rancho Santa Margarita, CA.
Neck filler first step
What’s the First Step?
Your treatment journey begins with a private consultation that involves an in-depth skin evaluation and review of your health history and current medication schedule. During this initial meeting, we will listen carefully to your goals for improvement and translate them into a success-oriented treatment plan that will achieve your vision of a more refreshed and vibrant appearance. Once your treatment date has been set, we will provide you with guidelines to follow to ensure your session is seamless and stress-free.
What to Expect on the Day of Neck Filler Treatment
Sessions with neck fillers usually last around 30 minutes, making it possible to undergo your injections over your lunch break. Prior to receiving neck fillers, your skin will be cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic to ensure your treatment is pain-free. Additionally, many neck fillers like Juvederm and Restylane contain built-in lidocaine, which can further enhance your peace of mind during your session.
Once you are relaxed and ready, your practitioner will map out the specific injection points in the neck according to your predetermined treatment plan. This helps to enhance precision and ensure all targeted areas are uniformly addressed. Next, your provider will strategically inject the neck filler, being careful to avoid asymmetry and optimizing a natural-looking outcome through meticulous attention to detail.
Neck Filler Recovery
After neck fillers, no recovery time is necessary. You will be able to resume your normal activities with minimal restrictions. You may notice slight swelling, bruising, and tenderness where the needle enters the skin. This is normal, and these symptoms will fade quickly. You can use an ice pack to alleviate any lingering soreness and over-the-counter painkillers if needed. It’s important to follow a few simple guidelines after neck fillers to optimize your outcome:
- Avoid rubbing, massaging, or touching your neck after your session
- Don’t engage in strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours
- Steer clear of blood-thinning medications and alcohol for 24-48 hours after treatment
- Avoid intense heat for a day or so, including hot tubs, tanning beds, saunas, steam rooms, etc.
- Be sure to wear sunblock when outdoors and protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
