Cosmetic procedures for the neck, chin and décolleté are simply our salvation from old age; we all know about such a phenomenon, which has a variety of manifestations, such as aging of the skin of the neck, loss and change in its shape, and loss of the condition and shape of the skin of the cervical-mental angle, décolleté and some other areas that are rightfully considered “problematic”, especially with age.
At the same time, both natural and special technologies have long existed to rejuvenate the skin of the neck, maintain or restore its shape, or even give it the shape that will be the most acceptable and graceful.
First of all, we will consider the reasons why the skin of the décolleté and neck may become outdated, and the shape of the neck and chin may be lost. In general, we will give you all the basic knowledge about the problems of these zones and how to eliminate them.
For what reasons and how can the skin of the neck undergo aging?
The main reason for age-related changes in the skin and shape of the neck is the own design characteristics of each organism. You need to adapt to them and take them into account - tracking every part of your body on autopilot will not work, you need to adjust it according to the conditions given to you.
So, your constitutional features. Each type has its own, and accordingly, its own difficulties. If a lady is corpulent and has a short neck, then she is not at risk of loose “turtle” skin, but instead, age can reward her with a double or triple chin and excessive growth of subcutaneous fat.
If you are an asthenic, thin type, then over time you can safely expect some more or less obvious wrinkles, weakening of the muscles and skin of the neck, and sagging and wear of the skin. These are consequences of conditions such as thin skin.
Rejuvenation with collagen
Over time, moisturizing alone becomes not enough to care for your neck. The body produces less collagen, wrinkles become more noticeable. You can strengthen and restore your skin using salon treatments or modern “high-tech” masks, such as Nano Gold Repair Neck and Collagen Mask. Manufacturers promise a wow effect after a single use.
How to first begin the fight against such syndromes in the neck and chin area
Preventive therapy in this area mainly deals with tissue hydration and wrinkle prevention. For this purpose, it is still customary to choose natural peeling technologies, which:
- removes dead layers from the skin, showing symptoms of keratinization;
- stimulates the production, or rather the synthesis, of a substance such as collagen.
This peeling is done using natural fruit acids contained in fruits such as strawberries, avocados, kiwis and other fruits and berries. If we are talking about preventing skin damage in older age, when fruit acids are no longer enough, then a special massage is used that remodels the shape of the neck, and microcurrent therapy of the skin and neck muscles. In general, the following procedures will be useful:
- a modeling massage that visibly improves your appearance in terms of volume and shape of the neck, and increases the metabolism required in the area;
- microcurrent therapy, which deals with tightening, that is, successful tissue lifting, and stimulates muscle tone of the neck and chin;
- and, in the end, both in the early stages, when you are still young, and in later stages, courses of targeted treatment bring certain noticeable benefits.
Other, more specialized technologies involving injections of various substances
- Biorevitalization. The use of various drugs based on hyaluronic acid in the form of injections. Such drugs from this series are known as Restylane Vital Light, Restylane Vital and many others - they are also called skin boosters. During the process of biorevitalization, the water balance of the skin in the neck and chin area is restored, which requires courses consisting of at least three injections.
- So-called “aesthetic injections”, with which homeopathic components and amino acids are introduced into the skin.
- Hyaluronic fillers, or dermal-type HA fillers, work with the layer of dermis that lies beneath other layers of skin. They give you the opportunity to maintain the effect of the injection for six months or more than six months - these are Surgiderm, Juviderm, Restylane, and other substances.
- Botulinum toxin injection is also often used to reshape and reshape the neck and chin, to smooth and eliminate wrinkles and relax the muscles in the neck and chin area. Examples of suitable “neck” drugs from this series include Dysport and Kseomin. Botulinum toxin from one procedure gives you an effect for six or even eight months, which comes into effect approximately on the tenth day after these drugs are administered to you.
- An injection method such as plasma lifting is becoming increasingly popular today. This is a hardware and gentle, correct tightening and rejuvenation of the chin neck by introducing autoplasma, which contains platelets.
Hardware methods for neck and chin correction
“Anti-age”, or saviors from age, which are widely and successfully used today are radio wave lifting technologies. Radio wave lifting has a thermally controlled effect on the skin and subcutaneous fat.
As a result, we get the synthesis of new collagen in your skin, the building material for the skin, and a new twisting of connective tissue fibers that have already been stretched and worn out.
Radio wave lifting is distinguished by the fact that it gives results immediately after the procedures. And also by the fact that these effects after the procedure continue to gradually increase, bringing the neck and chin to an increasingly aesthetic, healthy and rejuvenated state, consolidating and forming a new look for the neck, décolleté and chin over the next few months.
Then, upon reaching the final form, this effect reliably accompanies you for 2-4 years, depending on the details of the procedure and your personal characteristics.
In addition, such a new product in the field of hardware lifting as Ulthera technology, a new ultrasonic lifting, is currently being developed and improved. It works at the level of the superficial muscular aponeurotic layer, referred to as SMAS, and there it is engaged in successful tissue tightening.
Thermal effects of hardware lifting and concerns related to cancer
Both methods of the most popular modern hardware lifting - the so-called “fractional photothermolysis”, which we have not yet talked about, and the already mentioned “radiofrequency lifting” - work with skin relief and its tightening using thermal methods, heating the tissue.
This raises concerns and questions about the potential for harm to people with cancer or a predisposition to it.
In many cases, Russian and foreign patients and patients wishing to undergo lifting and relief correction procedures do not know everything about their body’s compatibility with thermal effects. Then consultation with experts in this field is necessary.
And in general, when you have thoughts about carrying out more or less complex, and even more so, hardware procedures for correction and tightening, you should first find out everything about yourself from the relevant specialists - an endocrinologist, oncologist, and a neurologist.
As a rule, if you or another possible patient does not have any pathologies, undergoing treatment with any hardware or other methods is considered completely safe. This is confirmed by customer reviews and reports from clinics providing such services.
One of the guarantees of safe service in the field of hardware effects on the rejuvenation of the skin and muscles of the décolleté, neck and chin area is the fact that in this case the influencing waves penetrate exactly those millimeters under the skin that are required for treatment.
There is no systemic effect on the patient’s body; only the work area is affected.
How to properly care for your face and neck?
Often, the neck often reflects the skin of our face. To do this, you need to monitor not only the condition of your face, but at the same time your neck too, since in the future your neck can reveal your true age.
Why does this ugly network of small wrinkles appear on the neck, causing the oval of the face to be disrupted and the cheeks to sag? The answer is simple. If our muscle, which comes from the end of the collarbone (back) and which is attached to the back of the head (occipital bone), is not constantly in action, this results in symptoms of a rapid deterioration in the plasticity of the skin. That is, premature aging.
The reason that this muscle is “lazy” is all because of ourselves. Basically, the actions performed during the day are actions with the head down. At the same time, the very muscle we are talking about does not receive physical activity. As a result, we have: 1) withering of the skin; 2) weakening of the muscles of the neck itself. That is why in the future, a woman’s neck becomes an “Achilles heel”. So the neck also requires individual care.
Do not despair if you have already come face to face with this problem. Several recipes will help you restore the former beauty and youth of your face and neck.
So let's start, how to properly care for your face and neck at home?
Methods: 1) An integral part of care is olive oil (if you don’t have it, you can use cosmetic milk.) 3 - 4 r. per week, regularly wipe your neck with these products. The next step is to wet a little bit of table salt and rub your neck from the collarbone to the chin (in a circular motion until it turns red). Dip a towel in milk (diluted with hot water), place it on your neck, hold for 3-4 minutes. For best results, this method should be repeated two to three times. Upon completion, rinse your neck under cold water and rub in the cream.
2) The recipe for the second method is quite simple. In 1 glass of boiled water, stir 1 tbsp salt, one tbsp. l. vodka and the same amount of lemon juice. After this, moisten a cotton swab and wipe the neck from the collarbone to the chin. Lightly tapping. The final stage, rinse your neck in cold water and apply cream (wipe off anything that is not absorbed with a napkin).
3) This is a way to help remove swelling or bruises. Beat a small amount of parsley and add water. Pour the resulting mixture into an ice tray. In the future, in case of any swelling, you can pour this composition into a napkin and with frequent use, you will get rid of bruises and swelling in the shortest possible time (just do not overexpose).
4) Our grandmothers used this method to smooth out wrinkles on their faces. Yeast mask. One tablespoon, diluted into a thick mass. If you have dry skin, then dilute it with warm oil, normal skin, then milk, if oily skin, then three percent peroxide. Apply the prepared mixture to the face and neck. After 30 minutes, wash your face with water (preferably warm).
5) Compresses help in proper care of the neck and face. The cooking method is simple. We wipe the neck and chin with milk (cosmetic), rub in a small amount of cream. Then we put cotton wool (slightly moistened with emulsion) on the neck, wrap the cotton wool with a sheet of parchment, and wrap it all in an elastic bandage. After half an hour, remove and wash off the residue in cold water. It is useful to do such procedures 3-4 times during the week.
6) A decoction of linden blossom and a little honey is also very good. Add linden juice to two glasses of boiling water. Leave for 20 minutes, add a teaspoon of honey. We wet the face and neck (just don’t skimp) We sit like this for 20-35 m, after which we wash our face with warm water.
7) Mask of yolk and honey. Take one yolk, add a little olive oil to it (beat). We wait until the mixture thickens a little, then add two teaspoons of honey and mix everything. We apply the mask to the neck (or along with the face), after half an hour, wash off the mask in cool water. And after another two or three minutes we wash ourselves in cold water. To enhance the effect.
And finally, dear women. Beauty requires sacrifice, so don't be lazy to use these methods. And then the man will dress up and sweat, trying to find out your true age.
Why is it especially important to pay attention to the neck and chin area?
..and also the neckline. The fact is that, out of naivety and simplicity of heart, many women pay attention and resources to caring for the beauty and skin of their face, while forgetting about the condition of the chin, cervical-mental angle, neck skin and décolleté.
Such dissonance, which can result from this oversight, partially reduces the effect of properly caring for facial beauty, which is a shame. And I wouldn’t want that. Therefore, we advise you to distribute funds and efforts to evenly take care of all the most desirable problem areas.
Don’t forget the fact that women’s skin on the neck is thinner than on the face. And even more so, it’s worth taking even more careful care of it. So start by analyzing your neck and other high-risk areas.
It’s even better to contact a specialist who will determine the degree of “wear and tear” or the nature of the condition of all the most important areas. And he will be able to offer you the most reasonable strategies for working on correcting your appearance, condition and appearance of the skin, rejuvenating the skin, problem areas and thus your body as a whole.
Since the skin is a conductor of beneficial substances and a guard against the penetration of harmful substances into our body and organism.
Therefore, one should not forget about the condition, elasticity, and conductivity of the skin. If we take care of our skin, as well as our teeth, our body will work and serve us longer, and remain young, healthy and attractive longer. Passing on youth and health to you and us and our loved ones.
The range of possible directions for choosing correction products is really wide
Separately, we consider such techniques that already belong to the field of plastic surgery. They are also often used. But in cases where other, non-surgical methods can be used, it is recommended to use only them.
In particular, the easiest and most useful approach to treatment is with the help of fruit acids and various useful masks. Well, then the special modern and hardware technologies we have already mentioned begin.
Also in the field of lifting and correction, and tightening of skin and muscles, various specialized massages work great. For example, a number of practices of oriental, and more specifically, Chinese massage, from the field of Qigong.
We will be happy to tell you about the amazing possibilities of this area in a separate article. With the help of massage and some qigong practices, many seemingly serious problems can be corrected without resorting to hardware or surgical intervention.
The practices of Chinese qigong gymnastics and its massages can be offered to those who have a desire to correct and change their general health, and join the ranks of not just well-groomed people, but those who choose true youth and longevity. These are the possibilities of this ancient gymnastic and massage medicine.
Just as effective, in a more superficial sense, may be the latest developments in the field of fibroblasts - this is a new discovery that goes even further than the recently sensational technology of using stem cells for rejuvenation procedures.
We will tell you about Chinese gymnastics, Chinese massage, and fibroplastic rejuvenation technologies in separate articles. As well as about simple natural and useful methods of rejuvenating and healing the skin using masks of various types.
Neck skin care rules
To maintain the elasticity of the neck skin, you should use creams containing a high percentage of water. With age, they are joined by fortified and biocreams that stimulate the renewal of epidermal cells, and creams that have a moisturizing effect.
To strengthen and nourish the skin, it is recommended to use masks containing biological extracts, plant substances, vegetable and fruit masks. Masks with added salt are also advisable.
To prevent the formation of a double chin, you should do special gymnastics every day, after which you should whip your neck for a while with a napkin soaked in cold water (preferably salted).
To strengthen the neck muscles (with wrinkles and folds on the neck), before applying the fortified cream, pinches the dry skin for 1-2 minutes across the wrinkles. For dry and aging skin, a course of warm compresses made from vegetable oil is carried out, alternating with contrast washing every other day (10-12 times), after which it is recommended to use nourishing masks.
If fat deposits in the chin area are significant, you should undergo a course of electric massage followed by the application of a paraffin mask-bandage, which has great therapeutic value, activating the work of the sweat and sebaceous glands, increasing metabolism in the skin. A total of 10-12 mask-bandages per course, performed 2-3 times a week, preferably in the spring and autumn seasons.
While at home, you can from time to time apply a bandage made of gauze folded three to four times, 1.5-2 cm wide, moistened in the middle with lemon juice, to a double chin. With this bandage, only the outermost convexity of the chin is tied not very tightly for 20-30 minutes. After removing the bandage, a rich nourishing cream is applied. After 30-40 minutes, the same strip, but already moistened with cold water, is tied again. It is recommended to apply such a small, simple bandage soaked in lemon juice (preferably linen) for a month, every other day at night.
In order not to dry out the skin, you should lightly lubricate this area with a rich cream not only in the morning and evening, but also during the day.
