Like the face, the neck and décolleté age. While it's possible to conceal these parts of the body during the winter, the presence of wrinkles in these fragile areas can be a source of complexes during the summer. The contrast with a well-kept face can be stark.
The treatment of neck wrinkles and décolleté is a frequent request. Taking care of these areas allows them to be rejuvenated in a harmonious and overall way. It is important to look after the neck and décolleté in the same way as the face.
Simple gestures, such as apply the cream on the neck and décolleté and the back of handsshould be part of your skincare routine.
In fact, the anti-ageing care can rejuvenate the skin on the neck and décolleté and eliminate wrinkles and fine lines.
There are effective solutions for treating these sensitive areas: injections ofhyaluronic acidthe fractionated laserthe mesotherapy and the PRX-T33 peel. These techniques not only make it possible to reduce wrinklesbut also rejuvenate and firm up the skin on the neck and décolleté.
Over time, the skin on the neck and décolleté becomes thinner and wrinkles appear.
The natural ageing of the skin is the main cause of wrinkles on the neck and décolleté. Over time, the production of collagen and elastin diminishes, leading to a loss of skin firmness and elasticity.
The speed and importance of this process depends on :
With age, many changes occur in the neck and décolletage.
A severity scale for the phenomenon has been established.
Neck wrinkles are not just a concern for women. More and more men are concerned about the appearance of these signs of ageing on the neck, an area often neglected in the skincare routine.
Neck wrinkles in men can be particularly pronounced because their skin is thicker.
The treatment is identical to that for women, but a few extra sessions are required.
By taking care of this area and consulting a doctor for a personalised treatment plan, men can maintain a youthful, dynamic appearance.
Certain habits and behaviours improve wrinkles and prevent them from getting worse, but it is not possible to erase wrinkles naturally.
Neck and décolleté wrinkles are often the first signs of ageing. Treating them is important if you want to achieve harmonious, all-round rejuvenation.
The choice of treatment will depend on the patient's specific needs, the depth of wrinkles, skin type and personal preferences in terms of length of time out of the community and duration of results.
To choose the most suitable technique, a preliminary consultation is necessary.
After a medical analysis, Dr Romano proposes a treatment plan to patients and announces the expected result.
The laser used is a fractional ablative laser. The principle is to remove microscopic pits of skin to stimulate the cells to synthesise denser skin.
An anaesthetic cream is applied before the session.
This treatment cannot be carried out on tanned skin, and it is recommended not to expose yourself to the sun for two months following the session.
The after-effects are marked by intense redness lasting between seven and ten days.
It is advisable to carry out four sessions at two-month intervals, followed by one maintenance session per year.
The result is denser skin and the reduction or disappearance (depending on the degree of severity) of wrinkles.
Injections ofhyaluronic acid give an immediate result that improves in the three weeks following the procedure.
The aim of the treatment is to densify the skin and improve superficial and deep, vertical and horizontal wrinkles. Depending on the degree of severity, it may or may not be possible to make the wrinkles disappear completely.
Injected directly into the wrinkle using a cannula on disinfected skin. One or more sessions may be necessary as an initial treatment. A maintenance session every year is recommended to maintain the results.
The after-effects are simple, sometimes marked by the appearance of temporary haematomas.
Le mesolift is an injection of a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and hyaluronic acid.
The treatment is painless and can be carried out :
The protocol involves an initial treatment of 3 sessions three weeks apart and a maintenance treatment with one session every three to four months.
The result is hydrated skin and the disappearance (transient if not maintained) of superficial fine lines.
Le PRX-T33 peel is an innovative treatment that combines the effects of chemical peels and biorevitalisation, without the drawbacks of traditional peels.
Composed of TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and hydrogen peroxide, PRX-T33 penetrates deep into the skin without causing peeling.
This treatment stimulates cell renewal and collagen production, improving the firmness and elasticity of the skin on the neck and décolleté, and therefore reducing wrinkles.
The procedure is fast, and the patient can resume his or her usual activities immediately afterwards.
Results are visible from the first session. The protocol involves one to three sessions, one month apart.
The results can be seen at several levels:
The duration of the results varies according to the treatments carried out and the characteristics of each patient.
The average treatment lasts for one year, so maintenance sessions are necessary to maintain the benefits of the treatment.
For laser and hyaluronic acid injections, one session per year is sufficient.
The PRX-T33 peel and mesotherapy are performed three to four times a year.

What patients think about aesthetic medicine to remove wrinkles from the neck and décolleté are positive.
Many patients describe a visible and lasting improvement in wrinkles, skin texture and firmness.
Patients who have opted for hyaluronic acid injections, mesotherapy or peels appreciate the fact that the results are immediate and natural, and that they can resume their usual activities immediately after the session.
Patients who have chosen fractional ablative laser treatment describe a significant reduction in deep wrinkles and a marked improvement in skin radiance, despite 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.
