The neck is one of the main signs of a person’s true age. You can achieve ideal young facial proportions, but if you don’t take care of the skin on your neck, everything will go in vain. Wrinkles, wrinkles, sagging neck skin will still tell others that you are far from 18 or even 25!
Therefore, the neck is the place that needs to be taken care of along with the rejuvenation of the facial skin. After all, the skin of the neck is very thin, it has a minimal number of sebaceous glands, so age-related changes on it often appear much earlier than on the face.
In addition, the female neck has fewer melanocytes (cells that protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation), resulting in more active photoaging.
What is recommended to keep the skin in this delicate spot flawless?
Injection methods for neck rejuvenation
As soon as the skin of the neck begins to thin, dry, wrinkle, it is necessary to immediately replenish the supply of hyaluronic acid. This is done in the following ways:
- introduction of fillers based on natural hyaluronic acid;
- injection skin restructuring assistance (Biorevitalization, Mesotherapy).
Specially designed low-density gels are commonly used to rejuvenate the cervical area. Although liquid preparations usually dissolve faster, this is not the case with the neck. Here, the liquid fillers better model the silhouette, maintain a beautifully filled shape, look natural and last for a long time - at least a year. At the same time, a rehabilitation period after the procedure is not necessary - modern fillers practically do not cause edema and other undesirable side effects.
Perfectly tightens the skin of the neck and a new generation of fillers that start your collagen production process. For example, an innovative Dutch filler.
The effect of this filler on tissues is similar to the effect of suturing, as both the injectable filler and modern sutures contain a component such as caprolactone. It is a completely biodegradable soft medical thread that has been used in medical practice for many decades and gives excellent results. In other words, the filler mainly tightens the tissues.
This filler does not attract moisture and therefore does not cause swelling. Due to this unique property it can be used in such delicate areas as eyes, lips, neck, décolleté. Stimulates the production of type 1 collagen, which creates a velvety skin and excellent lifting effect.
The drug strengthens the collagen framework and has a biological enhancer, making the skin more elastic and toned.
The high-quality carrier eliminates the "migration" of the implant and guarantees complete predictability and stability of the contouring result. It is a biodegradable filler, that is, it is completely removed from the body at the end of its shelf life.
Procedures such as biorevitalization and mesotherapy are recommended for complex skin restructuring.
Biorevitalization is the intradermal microinjection of hyaluronic acid preparations. The procedure quickly restores water balance and normalizes dermal metabolism.
Hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin is used in the procedures. Once in the skin, it is broken down into simple components, from which the synthesis of its own hyaluronic acid begins immediately. The main effects of such injections do not occur immediately, but over time. After all, they do not replace the natural processes of synthesis, but strengthen, accelerate and stimulate them.
The number and frequency of procedures depend on the severity of the problems and the degree of skin dehydration (usually 1 to 2-3 procedures).
Mesotherapy is a similar technique, except that special mini-injections of biologically active "cocktails" are injected into the skin, the composition of which may vary depending on the problem being solved. Mesotherapy procedures allow all the active ingredients to enter the skin and help to renew it from within.
Perfect for rejuvenating the cervical area Plasmolifting. It has long been known that our blood has a powerful resource to restore and heal the body, it is only necessary to activate this potential.
As a result, the skin becomes as elastic, dense, toned, radiant as in youth. Wrinkles, wrinkles, age spots and other aesthetic defects disappear.
Laser technology for sensitive areas
Fraxel laser fractional rejuvenation can be used as a stand-alone neck rejuvenation technique, possibly in combination with injections. American Fraxel is a unique device that rejuvenates human skin and frees it from all defects. A thin (thinner than human hair) laser beam makes up thousands of exposure microsons (microthermal treatment zones) in every centimeter of skin. These microzones destroy old and damaged collagen and excess pigment. At the same time, many viable cells remain around each exposed microzone, which are activated by heat. During this process, which can last from a few hours to a few days, defective skin appears at the site of each micro-zone.
The unique feature of Fraxel is that the laser does not destroy the top layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum. Therefore, the skin looks natural after the procedure.
After the fractional laser rejuvenation procedure, the structure of the skin itself changes. It becomes smoother, moisturized, elastic, less prone to inflammation and rashes. It becomes easier to take care of at home.
The fractional laser acts on the skin subtly, but the number of procedures depends on the initial data and the problem being solved. Someone needs one procedure a year, and someone may need a course of 3-5 procedures.
The result, namely young beautiful skin, can last a long time.
Ultrasound for non-surgical neck lift
Unlike laser technology, which can only be used during periods of minimal solar activity (i. e. , fall, winter, and early spring), modern ultrasound techniques are suitable for use throughout the season.
And they are equated with the effect of surgical lifting, which is known to reduce not only stretched skin but also muscles.
A non-surgical alternative to neck lift at the muscular system level (SMAS level) is the famous Altera therapy, which is performed using the American Ulter system.
The device is based on focused ultrasound, which can penetrate under the skin to a depth of 6 to 8 mm, first reducing the collagen fibers there and providing a lifting effect, and then starting the process of young collagen formation. In this case, the skin surface is not damaged. Approximately one week after the Altera treatment procedure, the synthesis of type III collagen (also called juvenile collagen) is activated, which is then converted to type I collagen not only at the nearest thermal exposure points but also below them.
This results in a non-surgical tissue lifting effect without damaging the skin surface. The maximum effect occurs 3 months after the procedure.
A unique added benefit of using ultrasound for skin rejuvenation is the ability to directly visualize the dermis and subcutaneous structures in real time, which increases the level of safety of the therapy.
As with surgical skin tightening, a single effect is sufficient. The result obtained lasts from 1, 5 to 3 or more years, depending on the individual characteristics of the organism.
Thread technology for neck rejuvenation
For elderly patients, ultrasonic lifting is recommended using suture technology. Use of self-absorbing yarns. Other threads are used to adjust the chin line.
All of these threads have incisions and, once in contact with the skin, begin the process of rejuvenation in addition to the visible tightening of the tissues.
Thus, the combination of ultrasound and thread lifting will provide a powerful double lifting and rejuvenating effect.
