The neck and décolleté are often overlooked in beauty routines, yet they play a crucial role in our overall appearance.
With age, the skin in these areas can show visible signs of aging, such as skin laxity, wrinkles, and pigmentation spots.
These regions are particularly prone to revealing a person’s age, especially due to the contrast often seen with the face.
However, wrinkles and skin sagging can also appear in very young patients.
Aesthetic medicine offers a variety of treatments to enhance and rejuvenate these delicate areas. Lasers, hyaluronic acid injections, and Botox are highly 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.
