Hot Topics: Preserve Breast Augmentation, Neck Tightening Treatments, Mold in Implants, Sara Foster’s Breast Implant Warning, and More with Dr. Maristella Evangelista

So, uh, we're gonna be talking about some articles here.

The first one is from Harper's Bazaar.

It's written by Katie Intner, and the title is "Yes, You Can Fix Your Aging Neck".

"When it comes to cosmetic treatments, the face may get all the attention, but the neck deserves love too.

Novel technologies that go beyond creams deliver lifted, sculpted necks without surgery.

'There's long been a desire to have a smooth, youthful neck, as the fragile skin in that area shows the first signs of aging.

It's why dermatologists always preach about bringing your skincare as far down as your bra.

The neck area presents a unique challenge because the collagen there is thinner and deteriorates more quickly, causing signs of aging to appear sooner than on the face,' says New York dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss." So Shereene is a, um...

Have you heard of Shereene Idriss? So she's a, a dermatologist, very famous, and I've been...

I've DM'd her twice to see if she would come on my podcast, and like we're a col- like we've DM'd before, but for some reason she is ghosting me on her invite to this podcast.

[laughs]

So Shereene, if you listen to this, I have been DM'ing you, and you have not replied to me.

Would love to have you on.

Uh, so anyways, I digress.

Uh, "Less collagen is why the skin on the neck loses its firmness and elasticity, resulting in crepiness.

As neck care needs have changed, so have the solutions.

What used to be limited to creams that promised to firm the skin but were only so effective now includes ultrasound and radiofrequency devices and new uses for injectables.

Ultherapy is a non-invasive option for lifting skin that uses ultrasound heat and real-time imaging to precisely trigger collagen and elastin production.

The new kid on the block is Ultherapy Prime, a faster, more personalized version of the technology.

Diane's go-to minimally invasive treatment for necks is Quantum RF, which creates short bursts of extreme heat at a boiling temperature of 212 degrees in as quick as 250 milliseconds to trigger an injury at the superficial fascia," and this is a connective tissue directly under the skin, "so that the collagen and elastin rebuild.

Not only is the recovery time as quick as just one day post-treatment, but the results are more immediate as the device's targets are so close to the dermis.

'Only one treatment is needed for long-term results,' Diane says.

One of the most exciting innovations in neck treatments isn't brand new to the scene but rather the u- the new use of a tried and true method.

Botox, a popular neurotoxin, received FDA approval last year for the lower face and neck area.

All these technologies are not intended to replace topical products.
