When wrinkles begin to appear on the neck, the appearance becomes more aged, which can cause some discomfort and affect self-esteem.
Due to the absence of hair and the lower number of sebaceous glands in this area of the body, the skin becomes more delicate and exposed to external aggressions such as solar radiation and pollution.
Along with this natural fragility, it is common for this region not to be a priority in daily skincare, which is much more focused on the skin of the face. For these reasons, the effects of the loss of collagen and support in the skin of the neck show up earlier.
In this article, we’ll show you some of the treatments that can reduce wrinkles on the neck.
Causes of sagging neck skin
Wrinkles on the neck are natural and can have various origins:
- Ageing: from the age of 25, the skin begins to lose elasticity, which intensifies with the passage of time.
- Genetics: genetic predisposition can have an influence on sagging neck skin.
- Weight change: fluctuations in weight damage the skin, especially in more delicate areas.
- Lifestyle: smoking, a sedentary lifestyle and an unbalanced diet accelerate skin ageing, which manifests itself most quickly in the neck area.
- Hormonal changes: after pregnancy or at the start of the menopause, changes occur in the body which damage the skin and contribute to increased sagging.
Although there are specific creams and serums for neck skin, these may not be enough to achieve the results you are looking for. Medical-aesthetic treatments offer faster and more effective results in caring for this problem.
3 Treatments to minimize neck wrinkles
1. Ultraformer MPT
The Ultraformer III is one of the most effective medical-aesthetic treatments for reducing sagging skin and improving the appearance of wrinkles. Its innovative technology emits ultrasonic waves capable of penetrating the deepest layers of the skin. This technique stimulates the natural production of collagen, improves the appearance of the skin and produces a lifting effect. The skin of the neck is smoother and rejuvenated with visible results after the first session.
This treatment can be done to prevent or attenuate the signs of time. The recommended number of sessions varies according to age and skin condition, and is outlined at the first consultation. After the initial diagnosis, an individual and personalized treatment plan is drawn up according to your needs.
2. Fractional CO2 LASER
LASER Resurfacing (CO2) is one of the minimally invasive treatments responsible for skin rejuvenation. It combats sagging, blemishes and ageing skin. The treatment removes the superficial layer of skin from the neck, giving way to a new, smoother and younger-looking layer. This process stimulates collagen production, improves elasticity and softens creases and blemishes in the skin.
For the CO2 LASER treatment, between 1 and 3 sessions may be recommended to obtain the best possible results. You can invest in this treatment as soon as neck wrinkles and spots become more visible. The results are noticeable about 15 days after the treatment.
3. Hyaluronic acid fillers
As well as disguising wrinkles on the neck, filling with hyaluronic acid deeply moisturizes and improves the quality of the skin. This substance is naturally present in the body, but over time its production decreases and the skin looks dehydrated, flabby and wrinkled.
Through small injections, this substance is infiltrated into the skin of the neck to retain water molecules, giving it more volume and support. The effects of filling with hyaluronic acid are visible immediately after treatment and last between 9 and 12 months.
These medical-aesthetic treatments offer quick and very satisfactory results. If you want to reduce wrinkles on your neck, be sure to consult a professional to find out which treatment is right for you. At Skin Boutique you’ll find a team of specialists in Aesthetic Medicine who will help you achieve a more youthful and natural appearance.
