Researchers grapple with devices to firm neck skin


AgeZone for saggy jowls.

Many people find that neck lifts, Botox injections and small-scale liposuction are not viable options for a younger looking decolletage considering the high cost and potentially serious risks involved in the procedures.


As a result, researchers at Tulane University have been looking into whether devices that use electrical impulses may help provide a youthful look in a non-invasive manner.


"As dermatologists, we use electrical devices daily in our practices when removing unwanted growths and stopping bleeding after surgery. Based on these proven medical capabilities, electricity has been studied in the cosmetic arena to further improve aging skin," said dermatologist Patricia K. Farris, M.D.


So far, the technologies have not been tested thoroughly or have shown to be relatively ineffective. Authors of the study noted that current devices sold online typically have no scientific research to back up their claims.


As a result, ladies may want to stick with the best neck creams that contain antioxidants and rich, high-quality ingredients. Moisturizing and proper skin care are tried and true methods toward a healthy complexion.
