Neck and Décolletage concerns
What are the concerns?
- Lines and Wrinkles: The delicate skin of the neck and décolletage is prone to fine lines and wrinkles, often accelerated by sun exposure, ageing, and neglected skincare routines.
- Sagging Skin: Loss of collagen and elastin fibres over time can result in sagging skin, creating a less defined and youthful contour along the neck and décolletage.
- Sun Damage: The neck and chest areas are frequently exposed to the sun's harmful UV rays, leading to sunspots, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging.
- Crepey Skin: The thin and fragile skin in these areas may develop a crêpey texture, characterized by fine lines and a crinkled appearance.
- Neck Bands: Bands or vertical lines that appear on the neck, often referred to as platysmal bands, can contribute to an aged and less firm appearance.
Effective Treatments for Neck and Décolletage Rejuvenation
- Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botox injections temporarily relax muscles, preventing the formation of dynamic wrinkles. In the neck it is particularly effective on platysmal bands that cause a ‘stringy’ or ‘turkey neck’. It can help with jowl formation and is also referred to as a ‘Nefertiti neck lift’.
- Medical Grade Skincare: A comprehensive skincare routine that includes a personalised programme of actives and sunscreen can help maintain skin health and prevent further wrinkle development. Dr Sarah can guide you to a wide variety of carefully curated skincare brands including Alumier, SkinBetter and Neostrata to get the best out of your skin.
- Microneedling: Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates collagen production and can improve the appearance of lines, skin laxity and pigmentation. This can further be enhanced using exosomes.
- Polynucleotides: At the forefront of regenerative medicine, this novel injectable contains fragments of DNA which act as messenger signals on skin to trigger cell regeneration. It harnesses the body’s own healing mechanisms to rejuvenate the skin and can help improve the appearance of lines, skin laxity and pigmentation.
- Skin booster: Dr Sarah offers both Profhilo and Sunekos, which are essentially injectable moisturisers to rejuvenate the skin and improve skin quality and laxity. They also stimulate the body to produce more of its own collagen and elastin.
