Just like the face, the neck and décolleté also age. While it is possible to conceal these areas during winter, the presence of wrinkles in these fragile zones can become a source of insecurity during the summer months. The contrast with a well-maintained face can sometimes be striking.
The treatment of neck and décolleté wrinkles is a common request. Addressing these concerns ensures a harmonious and comprehensive rejuvenation of these areas. It is essential to care for the neck and décolleté just as one does for the face.
Simple habits, such as applying cream to the neck, décolleté, and the back of the hands, should be part of a regular skincare routine.
In fact, anti-aging treatments can rejuvenate the skin of the neck and décolleté while eliminating wrinkles and fine lines.
There are effective solutions for treating these delicate areas: hyaluronic acid injections, fractional laser, mesotherapy, and PRX-T33 peeling. These techniques not only reduce wrinkles but also help rejuvenate and firm the skin of the neck and décolleté.
Over time, the skin of the neck and décolleté becomes thinner, and wrinkles begin to appear.
The natural aging process of the skin is the primary cause of neck and décolleté wrinkles. With time, collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to a loss of skin firmness and elasticity.
The speed and severity of this process depend on :
With age, several changes occur in the neck and décolleté.
A severity scale for the phenomenon has been established.
Neck wrinkles are not exclusively a female concern. More and more men are becoming aware of these signs of aging, as the neck is often overlooked in skincare routines.
Neck wrinkles in men can be particularly pronounced because male skin is thicker.
The treatment approach is identical to that for women, but men may require a few additional sessions.
By taking care of this area and consulting a doctor for a personalized treatment plan, men can maintain a youthful and dynamic appearance.
Certain habits and behaviors can improve the appearance of wrinkles and prevent them from worsening, but it is not possible to erase wrinkles naturally.
Neck and décolleté wrinkles are often among the first visible signs of aging. Their treatment is essential for achieving a harmonious and comprehensive rejuvenation.
The choice of treatment depends on the patient’s specific needs, the depth of the wrinkles, skin type, and personal preferences regarding downtime and result longevity.
A prior consultation is necessary to determine the most suitable technique.
After a medical assessment, Dr. Romano provides patients with a treatment plan and explains the expected outcome.
The laser used is a fractional ablative laser . The principle involves removing microscopic columns of skin to stimulate cellular regeneration and promote the synthesis of denser skin.
A numbing cream is applied before the session.
This treatment cannot be performed on tanned skin, and it is recommended to avoid sun exposure for two months after the session.
Post-treatment effects include intense redness lasting between seven and ten days.
A total of four sessions spaced two months apart is advised, followed by one maintenance session per year.
The expected results include skin densification and a reduction or disappearance (depending on severity) of wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid injections provide immediate results, which continue to improve over the following three weeks.
The goal of the treatment is skin densification, improving both superficial and deep wrinkles, whether vertical or horizontal. Depending on the severity, it may or may not be possible to completely eliminate the wrinkles.
On disinfected skin, the injection is performed using a cannula, directly into the wrinkle.
One or several sessions may be required for initial treatment. A maintenance session once a year is recommended to preserve the results.
Post-treatment effects are minimal, occasionally marked by temporary bruising.
Mesolift is an injection of a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and hyaluronic acid.
The treatment is painless and can be performed in two ways :
The protocol includes an initial phase of three sessions spaced three weeks apart, followed by a maintenance session every three to four months.
The results include deep hydration and the temporary disappearance of superficial fine lines, which will return in the absence of maintenance treatments.
PRX-T33 peel is an innovative treatment that combines the benefits of chemical peels and biorevitalization, without the drawbacks of traditional peels.
Formulated with TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and hydrogen peroxide, PRX-T33 penetrates deep into the skin without causing visible peeling.
This treatment stimulates cellular renewal and collagen production, improving the firmness and elasticity of the skin on the neck and décolleté, effectively reducing wrinkles.
The procedure is quick, and patients can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
Results are visible from the first session. The protocol typically includes one to three sessions spaced one month apart.
The results can be observed on multiple levels :
The duration of the results varies depending on the treatments performed and the individual characteristics of each patient.
The average duration is one year, meaning maintenance sessions are necessary to preserve the benefits of the treatment.
For laser and hyaluronic acid injections : one session per year is sufficient.
For PRX-T33 peels and mesotherapy : three to four sessions per year are recommended.

Patient feedback on aesthetic medicine treatments for eliminating wrinkles on the neck and décolleté is overwhelmingly positive.
Many patients report a visible and long-lasting improvement in wrinkles, skin texture, and firmness.
Patients who opted for hyaluronic acid injections, mesotherapy, or peels appreciate the immediate and natural results, along with the fact that they can resume their usual activities immediately after the session.
Patients who chose fractional ablative laser describe a significant reduction in deep wrinkles and a noticeable improvement in skin radiance, despite experiencing a few days of redness.
Wrinkles can start to appear as early as your thirties, but this varies from person to person. They generally become more pronounced in your forties or fifties. This will depend on lifestyle, skin care and sun exposure.
To slow the appearance of these wrinkles, which cannot be prevented, it is advisable to use sun protection on a daily basis, moisturise these areas with appropriate creams and maintain a healthy lifestyle (balanced diet, hydration, avoidance of smoking). Specific skin care products such as antioxidant serums or retinol creams help to prevent the signs of ageing.
There are several treatments available to reduce wrinkles.
Most treatments are painless and well tolerated. Anaesthetic creams can be applied to make the treatment more comfortable. Patients usually feel a slight tingling sensation or warmth during and after treatment.
Pour atténuer les rides du cou et du décolleté, privilégiez des produits contenant des rétinoïdes (comme le rétinol) qui stimulent la production de collagène, des peptides qui renforcent la structure cutanée, et de l’acide hyaluronique pour une hydratation en profondeur.
Oui, les peelings chimiques peuvent être utilisés pour améliorer la texture et l’apparence de la peau du cou et du décolleté en stimulant le renouvellement cellulaire. Toutefois, il est essentiel de consulter un médecin qualifié pour déterminer le type de peeling approprié à votre peau.
Une mauvaise posture, comme le fait de pencher fréquemment la tête en avant (par exemple, en regardant un écran), peut favoriser l’apparition de rides horizontales sur le cou, souvent appelées « tech neck ». Maintenir une posture droite aide à prévenir ces plis.
La pollution et le tabagisme accélèrent le vieillissement cutané en générant des radicaux libres, responsables du stress oxydatif. Cela entraîne une dégradation du collagène et de l’élastine, rendant la peau du cou et du décolleté plus sujette aux rides, au relâchement et à une perte d’éclat.
