Neck Wrinkle Treatment in Apgujeong, Gangnam
Neck wrinkles at Live Young Clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam are assessed by cause. Horizontal lines and thin, crepey skin may be considered for boosters such as Rejuran Healer or Retigen, laxity for tightening like Thermage FLX, and prominent muscle bands for Botox. Dr. Song decides suitability after an English consultation, and results vary.

Why the neck shows age early
Neck skin is thinner than facial skin and has fewer oil glands, so it tends to lose moisture and elasticity sooner. Horizontal lines can form from genetics and repeated bending, a pattern sometimes linked to looking down at phones and laptops. Over time, laxity and the neck muscle can create vertical bands. Many people also forget to apply sunscreen and moisturizer to the neck, so sun damage accumulates quietly. Because the neck frames the face, it can make an otherwise refreshed complexion look older. Treating it thoughtfully helps the whole appearance feel balanced.
Treatments that may be considered
At Live Young Clinic in Apgujeong, the neck plan is built from the treatments below, chosen after assessment. Because neck skin is delicate, Dr. Song pays close attention to depth, dose and spacing, and may prefer a gentler series over a single intensive session.
- Rejuran Healer to support thin, damaged skin and the barrier
- Retigen to supplement collagen in the dermis
- Belotero Revive for hydration-related fine lines
- Thermage FLX for radiofrequency tightening and collagen stimulation
- Botox for prominent vertical neck bands, where appropriate
- Lephton for tone and fine elasticity
How Dr. Song assesses the neck
During Needs Mapping, Dr. Song looks at whether the lines are fine and crepey, deeply etched, or associated with laxity and banding. She checks skin thickness, since neck skin can be very thin, and observes the area as you move and speak. She also considers the jawline, because loss of support there can change how the neck looks. The Curated Plan may treat the neck alone or together with the lower face. Dr. Song aims for gradual, natural improvement, and she will tell you honestly if a particular concern is unlikely to change much with non-surgical treatment.
Aftercare and expectations
After boosters, small bumps or marks along the lines can be visible for a short time. After tightening, mild redness or tenderness may occur. It is generally advised to avoid saunas, alcohol and very hot showers briefly, and to protect the neck from the sun. A scarf can be useful after treatment if you are traveling. Deep, long-standing neck lines often soften rather than vanish, and a series of sessions may be suggested. Results and timelines vary by person.
Neck care beyond the clinic
Extending your facial skincare and sunscreen down to the neck and chest is one of the simplest habits to adopt. Raising screens to eye level may also reduce constant bending.

Frequently asked questions
Can neck lines be treated with filler?
Neck lines are more commonly addressed with skin boosters, tightening or Botox, depending on the cause. Dr. Song will recommend the approach that suits your skin thickness and the type of lines you have.
Does Botox work for the neck?
Botox may be considered for prominent vertical bands formed by the neck muscle. It is less relevant for fine horizontal lines caused by thin skin. Suitability is decided at consultation.
How many sessions are needed for neck wrinkles?
It varies. Some people notice improvement after one session of a booster or tightening, while deeper lines often benefit from a series. Dr. Song will suggest a plan based on how your skin responds.
Can I treat my neck and face on the same day?
Often, yes. Many people combine face and neck treatments in one visit so the results look balanced. Dr. Song will check that the combination is appropriate for your skin and explain the aftercare for both areas.
