What in the World is a Wattle?

 

According to Wikipedia, a wattle is defined as “a fleshy caruncle hanging from various parts of the head or neck in several groups of birds and mammals.” While a wattle may be cute on your Thanksgiving turkey, it certainly isn’t cute on any human mammals I’ve ever met. Even the word sounds unattractive…..

Let’s face it. There’s nothing that betrays a woman’s age more quickly than a crepey, sagging neckline. This delicate area develops wrinkles faster than anywhere else on the body, so it would only make sense that we would all be paying it plenty of attention by now…….But we’re not!

While the face gets pampered with pricy products, the neckline is sadly ignored. Over the years, we begin to resemble the famed Thanksgiving bird- necks sagging and flapping with little memory of the firm, supple neck of our youth.

Left to sag and hang without soaking up any serum for support, this area’s been paid too little attention for far too long. We all know: As we age, collagen production slows and gravity begins to take its toll. Skin elasticity suffers, and, worse yet, it seems even our fat distribution is lacking. Too much fat in some place, but not enough in others. Woe is me!

For the neck area especially, the suppleness of our youth quickly fades without proper care. But it’s never too late! If you want to turn back the hands of time and you yearn for the tight silhouette of your youth, follow tnt’s steps to tighten even the saggiest turkey neck.

For fine wrinkling of the neck, you absolutely MUST use a product with alpha hydroxy acids. This super ingredient will help smooth fine lines and brighten your skin. Retinol is another surefire way to revitalize your sagging neck. tnt Vit A Serum contains both of these powerhouse ingredients and tops our list of best products for fine lines and pigmentation!

For those of you who require the big guns, there are lasers that can actually help tighten the skin for more dramatic results. Performed in the office, you can expect no downtime, no pain, and noticeable results after just one treatment! For more information check out this video of Clear Lift and schedule an appointment with me at my enter City or Mainline Philadelphia office. 

Stick your neck out, and start your complete skincare routine before that wattle gets worse!

Science. Truth. Results.
