Although Sandy Romero, in her 50s, feels energetic, she never believed her reflection in the mirror matched up with her youthful vigor.

"I'm starting to see a little bit of a turkey neck," the stylist and mother-of-two explained.  "I think it's showing my age much more than the rest of me is."

According to Dr. Matthew Schulman, a plastic surgeon in New York City, this is a common problem as women age, because the skin in the neck area is very thin.  In addition, it's constantly exposed to the elements and the sun, all of which make it prone to sagging and wrinkling.

Schulman is helping patients like Romero tighten up the skin around the neck - without going under the knife.  Instead, Schulman uses a unique combination of internal and external lasers that sculpt and tone the neck, as well as tighten the jawline.

"The [internal] laser will melt the fat that's there, then I suck out the fat with traditional liposuction," Schulman said.
