Quick answer: Neck and jawline rejuvenation focuses on three common concerns: loose or crepey skin, horizontal “tech neck” lines, and a softer jawline. Non-surgical options at a med spa include radiofrequency skin tightening for firmness, microneedling for texture and fine lines, and fractional CO2 resurfacing for deeper lines and sun damage. Many plans combine them. At Oxygen Med Spa in Orland Park, skin tightening starts at $150 per session, a series of four to six sessions is typically recommended, and most clients return to normal activities right away.
The face often gets most of the attention in a skincare routine, while the neck and jawline quietly show signs of aging. Thinner skin, years of sun exposure, and hours spent looking down at phones and laptops all leave their mark. This guide explains what causes neck and jawline changes, which non-surgical treatments can help, and how to build a plan that fits your goals.
Why the Neck and Jawline Show Age
| Concern | Common Causes |
|---|---|
| Loose or sagging skin | Gradual loss of collagen and elastin |
| Horizontal neck lines (“tech neck”) | Repeated looking down, natural skin folds, and aging |
| Crepey texture | Thin skin, dryness, and sun exposure |
| Softer jawline | Changes in skin firmness and facial structure over time |
| Sun spots and uneven tone on the neck and chest | Years of sun exposure, often without sunscreen |
Neck skin is thinner than facial skin and often gets less daily care and sun protection, which is why changes can appear sooner than people expect.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening uses gentle heat energy to stimulate collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. It is often used on the jawline, chin, and neck to improve firmness. At Oxygen Med Spa, treatment sessions take about 30 to 45 minutes, there is no downtime, and many clients notice a firmer look within one to two sessions, with full collagen remodeling over the following weeks. See our skin tightening service.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates tiny controlled channels in the skin that prompt a natural repair response, which can improve fine lines, crepey texture, and overall smoothness on the neck. It is commonly done as a series. Learn more on our microneedling page.
Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 resurfacing treats deeper lines, texture, and sun damage. It involves more downtime than RF tightening or microneedling, often several days of redness and peeling, and neck skin needs careful settings and aftercare. See our laser skin resurfacing (CO2) service and our CO2 resurfacing aftercare guide.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can brighten dull skin and soften uneven tone on the neck and chest. Neck skin can be more sensitive than facial skin, so peel strength is chosen carefully. Explore our chemical peels.
Comparing Your Options
| Treatment | Main Benefit for Neck and Jawline | Typical Downtime | Often Done As |
|---|---|---|---|
| RF skin tightening | Firmness and a more defined jawline | None | A series of 4 to 6 sessions |
| Microneedling | Texture, crepiness, and fine lines | A few days of redness | A series of sessions |
| Fractional CO2 resurfacing | Deeper lines, texture, and sun damage | Several days of redness and peeling | One deeper or a few lighter sessions |
| Chemical peel | Brightness and uneven tone | Minimal to several days | Single or series |

Matching Treatment to Your Concern
| Your Main Concern | Treatments Often Considered |
|---|---|
| Jawline looks softer than it used to | RF skin tightening |
| Neck skin feels loose | RF skin tightening, sometimes with microneedling |

| Spots and uneven tone on the neck and chest | Chemical peels, resurfacing, pigmentation treatment |
Many people have more than one concern, which is why combination plans are common. Your provider will recommend a plan after assessing your skin.
Building a Neck and Jawline Plan
- Start with a consultation to assess skin laxity, texture, and tone.
- Address firmness with a series of skin tightening sessions.
- Improve texture with microneedling or resurfacing, spaced appropriately.
- Treat tone with peels or pigmentation treatments where needed.
- Maintain results with occasional touch-up sessions and daily sun protection.
Combining treatments in a planned order can deliver a more complete result than any single treatment. Our skin rejuvenation approach builds custom plans around your goals.
Daily Habits That Protect Your Results
- Apply sunscreen to your neck and chest every day, not just your face
- Extend your skincare routine below the jawline
- Raise screens to eye level to reduce how often you look down
- Moisturize daily to support the skin barrier
