The Precision TX non-surgical neck lift is an innovative solution for those who want to address sagging skin and fat deposits without undergoing major surgery.
What Is the Precision TX Non-Surgical Neck Lift?
Precision TX is a minimally invasive laser treatment that targets sagging skin and fat in the neck, jawline, and lower face. Precision TX offers a faster recovery and natural-looking results than traditional surgical solutions, making it ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity or excess fat.
The treatment requires inserting a tiny laser fiber through tiny incisions behind the ears and under the chin. The laser energy targets and heats the underlying tissues, eliminating targeted fat cells and stimulating collagen regeneration for tighter skin over time. Your provider will then suction excess fat, resulting in a more defined and youthful contour. The procedure typically takes less than an hour.
Benefits of Precision TX
Precision TX tightens and contours your neck and jawline area, allowing you to delay or avoid a traditional surgical procedure. The treatment is especially effective for those who have:
- Loose or sagging skin in the neck and jawline
- Excess fat under the chin or around the neck
- Early signs of aging, such as jowls or a turkey wattle
Precision TX offers multiple advantages.
- Minimally invasive: Tiny incisions eliminate the need for general anesthesia. The resulting scars will be discreet and inconspicuous.
- Quick recovery: Most patients can return to their typical daily activities within a few days.
- Long-lasting results: The treatment stimulates ongoing collagen production, so results continue to improve over time.
- Natural-looking outcome: Because Precision TX tightens the skin and gradually removes fat, the results are subtle.
- Versatility: You can pair Precision TX with complementary procedures to further enhance your outcomes.

How Precision TX Compares to Surgical Solutions
While Precision TX offers excellent results, it’s not substitute for traditional surgical techniques. Facelifts remain the gold standard for people with significant skin laxity, deeply etched wrinkles, or more advanced signs of aging. Still, Precision TX offers a compelling alternative for patients who are not ready for surgery.
A traditional facelift involves larger incisions, more downtime, and a more extensive recovery. However, it also provides more dramatic results for people with more severe signs of aging. Precision TX is ideal for patients with early signs of aging or who want to refine their neck and jawline without undergoing a full facelift.
Those who want the best of both worlds can combine Precision TX with a conventional facelift to enhance their results and maintain their skin’s firmness over time.
What to Expect From the Precision TX Procedure
Precision TX is a relatively simple and quick procedure. Before the treatment begins, we use a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Your provider will make the tiny incisions necessary to insert a thin laser fiber. The laser energy heats the underlying tissues, melting fat and triggering collagen production.
Your provider will gently suction away excess fat while the laser energy tightens the skin and connective tissue. The procedure typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, and you can go home the same day.
Most people experience mild swelling or bruising after the treatment, but these effects typically resolve within a few days. Your skin will gradually become firmer and tighter as your body continues to produce collagen, revealing a more defined neck and jawline in the weeks and months following your treatment.

Precision TX Neck Lift FAQs
How long do the results of Precision TX last?
This treatment stimulates collagen production, gradually tightening and firming your skin over time. Many patients notice improvement for a year or longer, though the exact duration of results varies from person to person. Maintaining healthy skin with advanced facial treatments can prolong your results.
Is Precision TX painful?
We administer local anesthesia before beginning treatment, so patients typically do not feel any pain during the procedure. You may experience mild discomfort and a heating sensation, which are generally easy to tolerate. After the procedure, there may be some swelling or tenderness, but these side effects usually subside within a few days.
How soon can I return to normal activities?
One of the advantages of Precision TX is its relatively quick recovery time. Most patients can return to their daily schedule, including work, within two to three days. Please follow all provided post-treatment instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
Can I combine Precision TX with other treatments?
Precision TX pairs well with injectables and other advanced facial treatments to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation. It can also complement a surgical facelift to maintain firm, resilient skin.
Who is a good candidate for Precision TX?
Precision Tx™ treatments are effective for treating small areas of fat around the face, under your chin, the lower third of the face, neck, arms, and loose skin that will not respond to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are in good health, near their normal body weight, and have realistic expectations for the results.
How does Precision TX compare to other non-surgical skin tightening treatments?
Precision TX is uniquely effective for re-contouring the neck and jawline. Similar procedures may improve skin texture and firmness without addressing fat deposits. Precision TX offers a more comprehensive solution for patients seeking a more defined, youthful neck and jawline.
How does the Precision Tx™ in Chicago, IL treatment work?
To begin your procedure, a laser fiber housed in a small cannula (tube), approximately 1.0mm in diameter, is inserted under the skin. Your provider will use the cannula to administer the laser’s energy directly to the fat cells, causing them to rupture and easily drain away. The laser energy also interacts with the dermis, resulting in skin tightening.
Due to the small size of the cannula, Chicago Precision Tx™ is considered a minimally invasive procedure and may be performed under local anesthesia. As the laser causes small blood vessels to coagulate immediately on contact, the procedure results in less bleeding, swelling, and bruising. Precision Tx® also offers a quicker recovery time than conventional liposuction. Because general anesthesia is unnecessary, the procedure is extremely safe with minimal potential side effects.
What are the benefits of Precision Tx™?
With less trauma and a faster recovery time than traditional liposuction, Precision Tx in Chicago, IL also offers other benefits, including:
- Treating unwanted fat and fat tissue irregularities
- Promoting tissue coagulation, tightening skin
- Improving flabby or lax skin and areas of high vascularity
- Minimal edema and bleeding due to the laser’s hemostatic properties
- Minimal bruising
Has the Precision Tx™ procedure received FDA Clearance?
Yes, the FDA has cleared the Precision Tx™ laser for laser-assisted lipolysis.
Does laser-assisted lipolysis with Precision Tx™ produce lasting results?
Yes! Laser-assisted lipolysis with the Precision™ procedure can permanently destroy the treated fat cells. However, the remaining fat cells will react to weight fluctuations. By maintaining your current weight, you will experience long-lasting results.
What body regions can be treated with Precision Tx™?
Precision Tx lipolysis in Chicago is ideal for treating small areas of the face, neck, arms, and loose skin.
How many Precision Tx™ treatments are required?
Typically, for most patients, only one Precision Tx™ treatment is required to achieve ideal results. The session may last 45 minutes to 2 hours for each area treated. Laser lipolysis is also an optimal choice for “touch-ups” and revisions.
What should I do after Precision Tx™ treatments?
After the Precision Tx™ treatment, patients should wear a compression dressing for 5 to 7 days. Most patients need to rest for several days following the procedure but may gradually resume normal activities as the body recovers and feels more comfortable.
When can I expect to see results from my Precision Tx™?
Generally, Precision Tx™ results are visible immediately and improvements will continue for up to 6 months.
