Ladies....I caught a good look at my neck in the sunlight and couldn't believe my eyes! It looks like I have railroad tracks runing vertically on flaccid middle of the neck skin....ewwwwww! Is there any thing that works besides a plastic surgeon? I know this question has been asked numerous times....hope springs eternal! I did buy the Suzanne Sommers gadget she has been using on her face for years...I guess I better open the box and get going! What about an other electronics...anyone having noticable success?

I don't think anything will be a permanent or even improving fix. I do believe that if you apply lotion several times a day it will help greatly until it evaporates and then you need to reapply. Hand lotion is fine. Plump up the crepy skin and it will look firmer.

I know! You reach a certain age and then all of a sudden -- dog years!

So I think the skin and muscles need to be addressed in the neck. I've just begun using a NuFace and am hopeful I'll see results (I'm seeing results on my face -- minimal -- but results), haven't really been paying attention to my neck, though, but I will.

So I would use a gadget (like your Suzanne Sommers) and every potion and cream with the words "tightening", "firming" and "lifting" in the promises. A few people reported they felt the recent SKINN TTV (Dermallift) was kind of impressive (and of course others who said it did nothing), but it may be worth a shot. Let us know how it goes!

I @pply lotion 2 or 3 times @ d@y. You c@n't fight the @Ging process but you c@n keep it moisturized which m@y help little.

Stop looking at it. That's the best solution.

Seriously, I know how you feel. Whenever I lean down to put laundry into my dryer, I can see the reflection of my neck in the knob that sets the temperature. It's not a pretty sight. But I really try not to obsess about it. It is what it is.

I feel bad about my neck.:-(

Well, that's silly. It's a neck. It has lots of blood vessels, a windpipe, a throat ... if all those things are working, you've got it made. Oh, and it allows you to move your head.

That's probably the best thing to do. Wish I would be that wise.

And I wish I were as wise as my own words, MarenSeattle. I sometimes think about getting a dryer without a reflective knob.

It truly is amazing to watch oneself decrepitate. Not a word, I know, but it should be a form of "decrepit."

Oh, wait. It is a word. Haha.

"Decrepitate" -- "to roast or calcine (crystals or salts) until they emit a crackling sound or until crackling stops... to make a crackling sound when roasted."

Here's the deal: I'm in my early 30s and have had them for as long as I can remember. Not sagging, just two fairly deep lines. Nothing works completely, IMO, but that doesn't mean they don't still annoy me. I think moisturizing helps though. My mother is beautiful and looks great for her age, considering they didn't have money for lotions and potions and less info was around when she started using retinol, etc, and she has them. I look at other females in my family and think it's genetic, so I guess I'll put my focus somewhere else!
