The neck and décolleté are areas often neglected in the beauty routine, yet they play a crucial role in our overall appearance.
As we age, the skin on the neck and décolleté can show the signs of ageing: sagging skin, wrinkles and spots.
These areas are not immune to the signs of time and betray a person's age, not least because of the contrast that often exists with the face.
However, wrinkles and sagging skin can also occur in very young patients.
Aesthetic medicine offers a variety of treatments to beautify and rejuvenate these delicate areas. Lasers, hyaluronic acid and botox injections are all effective treatments.
The neck is an area that is particularly vulnerable to the signs of ageing because of its thin skin and exposure to external aggressors. Aesthetic medicine treats these problems in a non-invasive or minimally invasive way, offering natural results without the need for surgery.
The main unsightly features that can be treated by aesthetic medicine are horizontal neck wrinkles, platysmal bands (vertical lines), sagging skin, age spots, loss of skin density and skin texture.
Radiofrequency uses electromagnetic waves to heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This process firms the skin and reduces the appearance of neck wrinkles.
Mesotherapy is an injection of vitamins, enzymes, trace elements, minerals and hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate and firm the skin. This treatment improves the hydration, elasticity and texture of the skin on the neck.
Chemical peels exfoliate the superficial layers of the skin, stimulating cell renewal and improving texture and pigmentation. They are effective in treating neck spots and fine lines.
Side effects are generally minimal and temporary. They may include redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness in the treated area. These effects usually disappear within a few days.
Aesthetic neck medicine encompasses a variety of non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments designed to improve the appearance of the neck. These treatments can target wrinkles, sagging skin, pigment spots and skin texture.
The most effective treatments for firming neck skin include radiofrequency, laser, tensor threads, peels, hyaluronic acid injections and mesotherapy. These treatments stimulate collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
Yes, Botox injections can be used on the neck to smooth platysmal bands (vertical lines). Botox relaxes the underlying muscles, reducing the appearance of these wrinkles.
How long the results last depends on the treatment carried out and a number of individual factors. They last approximately one year. Regular maintenance sessions are required.
Most aesthetic neck treatments are painless. Patients may experience slight discomfort or a sensation of heat, but these sensations are generally well tolerated and temporary.
To choose the right treatment, it is important to consult a qualified doctor. During the consultation, the doctor will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals, and explain which treatments are best suited to your specific needs.
