The skin on your neck is the thinnest on your body, so it’s often the first place to show signs of ageing.
Dr. Mark Hamilton recommends a phased approach to Neck Rejuvenation treatments.
This allows him to see how your skin responds at every step, ensuring you only receive the exact treatments needed to reach your goals. By spacing treatments out, Dr. Mark Hamilton prioritises precision and your budget, giving your skin the best chance to naturally regenerate at every step.
Step 1: The Nefertiti Lift (Month 1)
The journey begins by addressing the underlying muscles. The Nefertiti Lift uses anti-wrinkle injections to relax the vertical platysma bands that pull down on your jawline.
Dr. Mark Hamilton prefers to perform this procedure separately to assess your "natural lift" first. This ensures the treatment "sets" perfectly without interference from other products, giving Dr. Mark a clear baseline for your next steps.
Step 2: Strengthening your Skin (Months 2, 3 & 4)
Once the muscles are relaxed, Dr. Mark focuses on your skin's surface. Depending on your primary concern, you can choose between "Repair" or "Glow."
Option A: Polynucleotides (The "Repair" Choice)
Cost: €300 per session or €850 for a package of 3
Best for: Thickening thin, "crepey" skin. Polynucleotides work at a cellular level to repair DNA and build long-term collagen.
Option B: Neck Profhilo 64 (The "Glow" Choice)
Cost: €350 per session or €660 for a course of 2.
The Science: Profhilo and Profhilo 64 are the same product; the "64" simply refers to the 64mg concentration of ultra-pure Hyaluronic Acid in each 2ml syringe.
The Result: It is designed to hydrate the skin’s surface from within, providing a "crepey- free" glow on your neck and improving overall firmness
Step 3: Neck Hydration (Optional)
After the strengthening phase, Dr. Hamilton will review your progress. Because this phased approach is so effective, many patients find their skin is already significantly firmer. You might find you only need a single Profhilo 64 "booster" (€350) for a final touch of hydration rather than a full second course.
What to Expect During Treatment
With Profhilo 64 Neck:
Immediate: Bee-sting like bumps at the injection sites. These disappear within 24–48 hours as the product spreads. Possibility of bruising: allow 24- 48 hours downtime.
Results: Noticeable boost in hydration and a "lit-from-within" glow within 2–4 weeks.
With Polynucleotides:
Immediate: Bee-sting like bumps at the injection sites. Less visible swelling than Profhilo; some slight redness or minor bruising is possible.
Results: A "slow burn" treatment that grows natural collagen over 3–6 months.
Frequently Asked Questions: Neck Rejuvenation
Why does Dr. Mark Hamilton recommend a phased approach?
By starting with a Nefertiti Lift to relax neck muscles first, Dr. Mark can accurately assess your "natural lift." This ensures you only spend your budget on the exact amount of skin-strengthening (Polynucleotides or Profhilo) actually needed.
How long do the results last?
Nefertiti Lift : 3–4 months.
Profhilo 64: 6-9 months.
Polynucleotides: Since they repair your DNA and build actual collagen, the structural improvements can last 9–12 months or longer.
Is there any downtime?
You may see small "bee-sting" bumps at the injection sites for 24–48 hours (especially with Profhilo). These settle quickly as the product spreads through the skin.
How many sessions will I need?
For best results, Dr. Mark typically recommends 3 sessions of Polynucleotides or 2 sessions of Profhilo 64, spaced 4 weeks apart.
