My face looks fine, so why does my neck look older?
Neck and Décolletage Treatment in St Ives
The neck and chest often show age before the face, partly because they are so easy to forget when it comes to skincare and sun protection.
The skin on the neck and décolletage is thinner than facial skin, has fewer oil glands, and is constantly moving as we look down at phones and screens. Over time it loses collagen and elasticity, leading to horizontal neck lines, crepey texture, loose skin and sun damage across the chest.
Profhilo is one of the most popular treatments for this area. It spreads hyaluronic acid through the skin to improve hydration and firmness, and it suits thin, crepey skin that needs quality rather than volume.
Radiesse can be diluted and used across the neck and chest to stimulate collagen and improve firmness gradually. HIFU delivers focused ultrasound to the deeper supporting layers and can help with early loosening under the chin and along the neck.
Morpheus8 Burst improves texture, fine lines and laxity together, Lumecca Peak IPL fades the sun spots and redness that often show on the chest, and polynucleotides support thinner, weaker skin over a course of treatments. Combining a skin quality treatment with a tightening treatment often gives the most natural improvement.
Neck bands and very loose skin can be hard to change without surgery. We will look at your neck closely, explain what is realistic, and suggest the approach that suits your skin.
When this is not the answer. Significant loose skin on the neck, sometimes called a turkey neck, usually needs a surgical opinion. Non-surgical treatments can improve skin quality but will not remove a large amount of excess skin.
