In an earlier article, we elaborated upon the latest cosmetic evolutions in the last decade (Read our article on Top Cosmetic Evolutions Of The Last Decade).
In today’s article, we will help to educate you further on various cosmetic procedures for treating the neck area.
About aging neck
The neck and décolletage are often among the very first areas to be affected by the various visible signs of aging. Even those who follow a complete skincare regimen often commonly forget to apply moisturizer or sunscreen to the neck area. As a result, collagen and elastin in the skin may be broken down at a faster rate than they are created, which leads to the development of wrinkles, skin laxity, and other signs of premature aging of the neck area.
Treatment choices for the neck area
There are many non-surgical options that can help rejuvenate the appearance of the neck –
Botox
Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species. The neurotoxin targets the nervous system, disrupting the nerve signaling processes that stimulate muscle contraction.
The clinical effects of Botox are visible after 1-4 days of injection. The duration of the Botox effect varies among individuals due to differences in muscle arrangements in individuals. The effect usually lasts up to 120 days which may again differ depending from person to person.
Skin-needling
During the skin-needling treatment procedure, a pen-like device with several tiny needles is used. This device punctures the dermis (superficial layer of the skin) and helps promote collagen production, while healing the skin, resulting in a more even and rejuvenated skin of the neck region. Skin-needling is relatively safer because the microscopic punctures from the device are minor and do not tend to cut into the dermis.
Chemical peeling
Chemical peeling is a method of targeted cutaneous chemo-exfoliation by specific agents that allows for a rapid, predictable, and uniform thickness of exfoliation resulting in an improved appearance of the skin of the neck region. This cosmetic procedure is ideal for all skin types.
Intense pulse light therapy (IPL)
Intense pulse light therapy (IPL), also known as photo rejuvenation or the photo facial, is a non-ablative procedure that effectivelystimulates new dermal collagen and elastin development. It helps reorganize structural scaffold proteins and dermal connective tissue and regenerate new keratinocytes.
Fractional Lasers
Fractional lasers play an important role in rejuvenating the skin over the neck. The lasers create microscopic thermal zones which leaves behind minute punctures at a controlled depth on the skin. Thus, while healing, the skin is rejuvenated with new collagen production.
