Precision Tx™ Neck Lift AT DERMACARE MEDICAL AESTHETICS
As we age, our skin loses its structure, causing it to no longer feel as tight as it once did. Wrinkles begin to form due to the loss of collagen, and the jowls become more pronounced with the lessening production of elastin. When this happens, the skin in the face and neck begins to sag, causing you to look older than you care to admit.
This is where the Precision Tx™ treatment comes in. This procedure is an effective option for facial and neck contouring. With only one session, you can enjoy a healthier, more youthful look that brings you more confidence and comfort. At Dermacare Medical Aesthetics, anyone looking for facial contouring can enjoy the benefits provided by the Precision Tx™ treatment.
Candidates for Precision Tx™
The best candidate for a Precision Tx™ is someone with mild to moderate skin laxity on the lower face, jowls, and neck. Considering it is a minimally invasive treatment, your skin laxity should not be bad enough to require a surgical facelift.
Good candidates also have stubborn fat deposits underneath their chin, which do not respond to exercise or dieting. If you want a more contoured jawline and youthful appearance, then the Precision Tx™ treatment can be beneficial to you.
Patients should be in good overall health before considering this procedure. They should not have any pre-existing conditions that compromise healing, such as autoimmune diseases or diabetes. Ideally, you should be a non-smoker, as the habit can also compromise the healing process.
Patients should have realistic expectations, as the results may differ based on the quality of their skin. Since the procedure is non-surgical, it is important to understand that the final look may not be as dramatic as surgical options. A consultation with our providers can help determine whether or not you are a good candidate for this treatment.
How Precision Tx™ Works
Precision Tx™ Neck Lift uses a unique laser contouring system to treat the lower face, neck, and under the chin. Through a few tiny incisions, the liquefied fat is removed from the body with a medical suction device. The procedure improves your skin quality while removing excess fat pockets.
On the day of the procedure, the treatment area is marked and pictures are taken. In some cases, the patient will be provided a mild sedative to make the experience more comfortable. After local numbing is done at the predetermined sites, small, concealable incisions are made.
To increase comfort, our provider uses one cannula to infuse a dilute anesthetic fluid throughout the area of concern. A second cannula is for the laser, which liquefies the fat in the targeted area. Finally, the melted fat is eliminated through a medical suction device.
Recovery from Precision Tx™
Precision Tx™ Neck Lift is gentle on the body, and only local anesthesia is used, allowing you to stay awake and quickly resume your normal daily activities after the procedure. Patients can return to work almost immediately following their treatment. However, most people wait two to three days, perhaps even up to a week, if their job involves intensive, sweat-inducing labor.
Slight swelling and irritation may occur at the incision site but will quickly resolve within a few days. These side effects are normal, as the laser causes minimal trauma to your dermis to trigger the body’s healing response. Minimal bruising and tenderness can also occur, especially within the first three days. Additionally, you may be asked to wear a compression garment during this time.
You should be able to feel more like yourself within three to seven days (depending on the severity of the corrected features). There may still be some lingering tenderness and bruising during this time, but it should not affect your ability to return to your daily routine. However, you should avoid intensive exercise and drink plenty of water, as this helps your skin recover.
Precision Tx™ Results
The results provided by Precision Tx™ are designed to be long-lasting, as the treatment works with your body to trigger new collagen production. These results are often concealed by the recovery symptoms, which is why it might take up to two weeks to see some improvement in the skin.
The body starts producing more collagen from the moment of the procedure, but it might take up to a month for those cells to mature. The lingering fat cells targeted by the laser are also gradually eliminated by the body, taking a few weeks until the healing is completed.
Noticeable results should appear in six to 12 weeks, especially regarding fat loss and initial contouring. After that time, new collagen will continue to form over the next few months, tightening the skin and improving facial contour in the process. To maintain these results, you should have a healthy lifestyle and avoid excessive sun exposure.

1. Does The Precision Tx™ Neck Lift Treatment Hurt?
A local anesthetic is used so that patients feel little discomfort during treatment. Dr. Birchall may also prescribe pain medication based on the patient’s level of discomfort.
2. What Treatment Areas Are Usually Targeted with Precision Tx™?
Precision Tx™ is quite a versatile treatment, so it can be used on numerous areas where you notice sagging skin and excess fat. However, the unit is more useful in smaller areas, including your lower face, neck, jawline, and arms.
3. How Long Will It Take to Perform the Treatment?
Precision Tx™ is an outpatient procedure and lasts about one hour. After this time, you will be allowed to go home. Keep in mind that local anesthesia is still used, so, while you won’t feel as groggy as with general anesthesia, it is recommended that you have someone take you home afterward.
