Neck looking a little crepey? It happens to all of us.
As we age, our body produces less collagen, the protein that keeps our skin firm, smooth, and youthful. That slow-down usually starts in your late 20’s to early 30’s.
Whether it's from natural aging or after losing weight, the neck is often one of the first places to show changes. You might start to see crepey or thinning skin, fine lines, or deeper horizontal “necklace lines.” Sun exposure and everyday environmental damage only make those signs more noticeable over time.
If your neck and décolletage are starting to feel out of sync with the rest of you, Sculptra could be the secret weapon to help restore a smoother, firmer look by stimulating your skin’s own collagen.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a powerful collagen stimulator. While it’s well known for treating smile lines and deep facial wrinkles, it’s also become a game-changer for rejuvenating the neck and chest.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that just add volume, Sculptra works by stimulating your body to build its own collagen, leading to gradual, natural-looking results that last.
Can Sculptra be used on the neck?
Absolutely! In fact, it’s one of the most effective options we have for:
- Smoothing fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Improving that crepey texture in the center of the neck
- Reversing volume loss from aging or weight changes
- Softening “tech neck” lines from looking down at our phones
We carefully dilute Sculptra to make it safe and effective for use in the neck, especially because the muscles and tissue here are delicate. It’s all about the right technique and the right formulation, and we’ve got both.
How does Sculptra treatment for the neck work?
We use what's called a hyper-diluted technique, which means the Sculptra is mixed with sterile water to allow it to spread evenly across the treatment area. The neck has a muscle called the platysma that’s always moving in one direction, so we have to be strategic about how the product is placed.
There’s also a little homework after your appointment: massage the area 5 times a day, for 5 minutes, for 5 days. This helps distribute the product evenly so you get smooth, natural-looking results.
How much does it cost to have Sculptra in the neck area?
At MD Beauty Lab, Sculptra is $900 per vial. For neck rejuvenation, most people need between 1 and 3 vials, so you’re looking at a total cost of about $900 to $2,700 for a full treatment, depending on your goals and how much collagen support your skin needs.
How long does it take to see results after injecting Sculptra in the neck?
You’ll see an immediate plump effect after treatment, but that’s mostly from the water used to dilute the product. The real results start to show up about 6 to 8 weeks later, once your body has had time to build new collagen.
How long does Sculptra last in the neck?
With proper maintenance, Sculptra results in the neck can last well over a year. Think of it like “feeding the collagen matrix.” If you keep up with yearly touch-ups, those results stay strong and steady. And no, you won’t suddenly “go back to zero” if you stop. It’s a gradual fade over time.
Why get Sculptra injected in the neck?
It’s one of the few treatments that checks all the boxes:
- Minimally invasive
- No downtime
- Safe for thin, delicate neck skin
- Natural, long-lasting results
- Boosts your body’s own collagen production
Why are there so few non-surgical treatments for the neck?
The skin on your neck is different. It has fewer oil glands, less collagen, and doesn’t regenerate as easily as your face. That means aggressive treatments like lasers or deep chemical peels can actually cause scarring here. Hyaluronic acid fillers are not even a good idea in the neck.
That’s why starting early with something like Sculptra—especially in your 40’s—can be a game-changer. You can delay the signs of aging and avoid more invasive treatments down the line.
Bottom line? Don’t forget your neck!
We spend so much time taking care of our faces, but the neck often gets overlooked—until one day, it doesn’t match. Sculptra is one of the best ways to restore balance, smooth texture, and keep your skin looking youthful from the chin down.
