what can be done about neck and décolleté wrinkles?
What to do about the neck and décolleté wrinkles that bother us when summer arrives and sweaters and scarves return to the closet, making way for blouses. It’s the perfect time to pay special attention to this often neglected area, which tends to age faster than the rest of the face.
The importance of neck and décolleté skin
The skin on the neck and décolleté is particularly vulnerable, as it is exposed to external aggressors such as UV rays, pollution and temperature differences. This part of the body is all the more fragile because its skin is very thin.
Often overlooked, the neck and décolleté, like the face, require special attention as they are prime targets for the first signs of aging. Wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation spots can appear from the age of 40.
With age and hormonal changes, the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid diminishes, causing sagging skin and fine lines and wrinkles in the neck and décolleté.
How can you prevent aging of the neck and décolleté on a daily basis?
- Moisturize your skin every day from the age of 25 with hyaluronic acid-based creams and serums, in the same way as you moisturize your face, to preserve skin elasticity as much as possible.
- Every morning, protect the neck and décolleté with an anti-UV factor.
- From the age of 30, apply a retinol cream in the evening to accelerate the exfoliation process, brighten the complexion and even out the skin. This molecule stimulates collagen production and contributes to skin firming.
- Use vitamin C-based serums to combat antioxidants. This powerful radiance booster fights free radicals and protects cells from accelerated aging.
Mesotherapy to revitalize the skin of the décolleté and combat neck wrinkles
At our Center for Aesthetic Medicine, we offer mesotherapy sessions to revitalize the skin of the neck and décolleté.
The process involves making multiple perforations in the skin, either with a pen fitted with micro-needles, or directly with a very fine needle to facilitate penetration of active ingredients.
These vitamins, injected into the surface of the dermis, restore radiance, firmness and hydration to the skin.
This non-invasive mesolift technique improves and revitalizes the skin and smoothes fine lines, the first signs of skin aging.
The benefits of mesotherapy for the neck and décolleté area
It’s a light, non-invasive treatment that doesn’t require eviction. Results increase with each session.
We recommend this treatment once every 2 months.
What can be done about neck and décolleté wrinkles once they’ve set in?
Once fine lines and wrinkles appear on the neck and décolleté, the best solution for a smooth, youthful décolleté is Skinbooster.
This non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid with little or no cross-linking using a cannula or micro-needles over the entire surface of the neck and décolleté.
Hyaluronic acid works deep down to restore skin’s moisture and texture, and smooth wrinkles.
What are the benefits of Skinbooster?
Hyaluronic acid is renowned for its ability to attract and retain water on the skin’s surface. As we age, the quantity of hyaluronic acid present in our epidermis diminishes, leading to a loss of hydration in our skin, which is why it is so important to reintroduce it by injecting it.
At the same time, the skin of the décolleté loses its elasticity and tone because elastin and collagen production slows down, leading to the appearance of wrinkles.
It is therefore necessary to boost collagen and elastin production to firm this area and maintain the skin’s structure.
Skinbooster is renowned for stimulating collagen production.
What are the results?
Results may vary from person to person, depending on age, skin condition and lifestyle, but generally speaking, there is a significant improvement in skin quality, as well as a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles on the neck and décolleté.
Skin is smoother and firmer.
Results are natural and visible from the very first session, and improve with each successive session.
We recommend 3 sessions at 6-week intervals, followed by a maintenance session every 6 months.
This treatment is well tolerated and does not require any eviction.
The session lasts 30 min and is painless, since the product contains a local anesthetic.
Some redness may persist for an hour after the session, disappearing completely the following day.
This treatment can be combined with Microneedling or Lamed sessions for a synergistic effect on the texture and quality of the skin on the neck and décolleté.
Focused ultrasound to combat sagging skin on the neck and décolleté
High-intensity focused ultrasound, also known as HIFU, is a solution for combating aging of the neck and décolleté.
This non-invasive technique stimulates the production of collagen and elastin through a thermal effect. By acting deep down, it creates a genuine lifting effect in the neck and décolleté areas.
