The Lifter: Ultherapy Surgery used to be the only option for a saggy turkey neck. But the latest treatment, Ultherapy, uses ultrasonic waves to noticeably tighten skin by triggering the body's healing process to build new collagen over time. Unfortunately, it's not for the impatient: It takes two to three months for results to gradually appear. But when those results do appear, they're dramatic. "The compliments we're hearing are, 'It's how I used to look,'" says Day. "You'll look like a better version of yourself."

Best for: Sagging lower face, chin, and neck.

Pain level: Minimal -- like a warm buzzing sensation on your skin.

Time: 60 to 90 minutes per treatment; one treatment suggested.

Cost: about $3,500 for full face

I see a few things I'd love to have done.

The reason I gave this article only 6 stars is because I've heard from several dermatologists that Ulterapy can be extremely, extremely painful, and it's described here as a walk in the park.

Interesting. I have been looking at many new anti-aging procedures, and these are all new to me! Glad I could learn about them. Thanks/
