Our neck is worthy of wearing pearl necklaces or diamond necklaces. Instead, it is often “decorated” with various kinds of wrinkles and folds. In order for the skin on the neck to remain tight, it needs to be provided with regular and proper care. The skin on the neck is thin and does not have a thick subcutaneous fat layer. Insufficient hydration, lack of care, abuse of tanning - all these factors lead to the fact that by the age of thirty your neck can take on a rather unaesthetic appearance. If you notice the appearance of wrinkles in the neck and décolleté, take action, because with age they will also be joined by natural aging.
Techniques for eliminating wrinkles on the neck
Even the most beautiful woman will not make a pleasant impression if she has folds on her neck and wrinkled décolleté. It must be said that there are few ladies who would pay due attention to these places on the body. But they are the ones who give away age.
If you notice that your neck is starting to become wrinkled, get to work! Modern cosmetology will help eliminate these shortcomings.
Proper home care: 4 rules
In order for the “neck + décolleté” area to look impeccable, you need to provide them with proper care. Remember four important rules.
- Cleanse - tone. These are two mandatory stages of daily care. It is recommended to rinse the neck and chest area with cool water every morning during hygiene procedures. You can use cosmetic milk for cleansing. Don't forget about tonic: use lotion for normal or dry skin, but always alcohol-free.
- Remove the excess. To keep the décolleté area looking young, you need to regularly remove dead dermal cells. Peeling is done twice a week. The procedure is carried out using soft means, because the dermis below the neck is sensitive. Peeling improves blood circulation, and when using subsequent “care” products, it promotes the penetration of beneficial substances at the cellular level.
- Moisturize, nourish, protect. The “care” axiom is also relevant for the décolleté area. In the morning, moisturize the neck and areas below it with cream. Make sure it has UV protection. The sun's rays are the main enemy of the décolleté area. In the evening, nourishing emulsions are applied to this area. You need to adhere to the basic rule of application: carefully distribute the product in a circle, moving from the bottom to the top (collarbone - chin).
- Pamper. Various procedures (applying cosmetic mixtures, massages, body wraps) are the main condition for maintaining the youth of the sensitive area. You need to pamper the dermis weekly, then it will respond with gratitude.
New product in the field of cosmetology
Until recently, the most reliable way to get rid of the problem was simple injections and plastic surgery.
Today, an equally effective procedure has appeared - an injection based on protein, which is obtained from beneficial bacteria. Such injections can only be done in a salon.
The main thing about this procedure is that swelling and deep wrinkles disappear in almost a few minutes. The effect occurs on the cells from the inside, so the effect appears very quickly.
Methods to combat wrinkles
To prevent the occurrence of wrinkles in the neck area or make them invisible, the following methods will help:
- Physical exercise will help keep your neck muscles toned, blood circulation will improve, and your skin will become more flexible.
- Massage is a pleasant procedure; if you complete a full course using aromatherapy from a specialist, then at the end of the procedure the skin will tighten, become more elastic and firm.
- Folk remedies based on the beneficial properties of plant and essential oils.
- Cosmetic procedures - used for deep wrinkles of the dermis.
- Plastic surgery.
New cosmetics
How can I remove or reduce wrinkles in the décolleté and neck area?
- Hyaluronic acid from Cosmedica Skincare will moisturize and nourish the skin.
- Resilience Lift cream tightens and smoothes the epidermis of the neck even after one application.
- Coherence Cou anti-wrinkle cream with vitamins C and E and hyaluronic acid smoothes out wrinkles from the inside.
- Lifting cream “Tightening Effect” is a good Russian product that can be used to restore a clear contour to your face at home.
Prevention
Preventing the appearance of wrinkles is much easier than fighting them later. Simple steps will help keep your skin in excellent condition for as long as possible. The first thing that is recommended to do is to get rid of smoking and other bad habits, and reduce alcohol consumption to a minimum. Changing your diet can also be effective. Include foods rich in antioxidants in your daily menu. Compliance with the drinking regime also remains relevant. In the absence of kidney problems and other contraindications, it is recommended to drink a certain amount of clean water daily at the rate of 30 grams per 1 kg of weight. Getting enough sleep and protecting your skin from the sun will also help maintain youth. A set of preventive measures may additionally include any home procedure. To rejuvenate and improve the condition of the skin, you can apply tapes to your neck at night. It's easier than daily massage, neck exercises for wrinkles or other techniques and at the same time effective and safe. To learn more about the action of tapes, we recommend watching the recording of a master class on aesthetic taping:

Non-surgical correction methods
Contour plastic
Contour plastic surgery is an effective method of injection correction of wrinkles, which is based on the intradermal injection of sterile dense gel fillers into the skin of the neck.
For the procedure, fillers are usually used, which include hyaluronic acid (Restylane Vital, Juvederm Volbella, Hyaluform, Surgiderm, Teosyal) and calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse); less often, the doctor fills wrinkles with gels prepared on the basis of polycaprolanctone (Ellanse).
Intradermal introduction of gels of dense consistency helps to instantly smooth out the skin's relief, so the effect of the procedure becomes noticeable immediately.
The estimated cost of one contouring session is 100-200 USD.
Botulinum therapy
Botulinum therapy (Dysport, Xeomin injections) is an injection technique for smoothing out cervical wrinkles, based on the intramuscular injection of drugs that contain purified botulinum toxin type A.
Injections of botulinum toxin cause temporary paralysis of the fusiform cervical muscle (platysma) and promote its relaxation, and temporary absence of muscle activity leads to smoothing of wrinkles. The effect becomes noticeable a few days after the procedure, the result lasts for 8-12 months.
In order to get rid of wrinkles on the neck for a long time, botulinum toxin injections are recommended to be combined with mesotherapy and contouring.
The estimated cost of the procedure is 100-200 USD.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is an injection rejuvenating procedure, which is based on the intradermal injection (to the depth of the mesoderm) of preparations enriched with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other substances beneficial to the skin.
The active ingredients that are included in the solutions intended for mesotherapy administration activate the process of synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibers, improve the miotic activity of epidermal cells and help smooth out wrinkles.
The doctor makes injections using a syringe (classic method) or a special roller, the head of which is equipped with thin short needles (fractional mesotherapy). The course consists of 7-10 sessions, and the result after them lasts 6-12 months.
The estimated cost of the procedure is 30-70 USD.
Thread lifting
Thread neck lift is a non-surgical neck lift procedure during which the doctor inserts absorbable (mesothreads) or non-absorbable (gold, Aptos) threads under the patient’s skin. They create a strong frame in the dermis, which helps smooth out skin folds and holds the soft tissues of the neck in a new position. The result after thread lifting is noticeable immediately, and it lasts for 1-2 years.
The estimated cost of the procedure is 300-500 USD.
Laser skin resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a low-traumatic technique for smoothing out neck wrinkles, based on intensive heating of the deep layers of the epidermis and dermis with high-frequency laser energy. Laser beams heat the skin, trigger the process of evaporation of moisture from the upper layers of the epidermis and provide a lifting effect (skin tightening). The result after the procedure lasts 1-3 years.
The estimated cost of one session of laser skin resurfacing is 120-140 USD.
Myostimulation
Myostimulation is a hardware technique for smoothing wrinkles, based on electrical stimulation of the fusiform muscle of the neck. Electrical impulses cause contraction of muscle fibers, improve their tone and help smooth out skin folds. The course consists of 5-7 sessions of myostimulation, the effect of which lasts for 6 months.
The cost of one procedure is 30 USD.
Radio wave lifting
RF lifting is an effective method of non-surgical skin tightening, based on deep heating of the dermis with monopolar low-frequency radio wave energy.
Intense heating of the skin increases the elasticity of collagen and elastin fibers and stimulates the process of their synthesis, and this leads to the smoothing of “old” neck wrinkles and prevents the appearance of new ones.
To obtain a pronounced rejuvenating effect, it is recommended to take a course of 6-12 RF-lifting sessions, the results of which last for 1-2 years.
The estimated cost of one procedure is 60-80 USD.
Is it possible to get rid of Venus rings on the neck?
Almost all women, starting from 35 years old, have rings of Venus on their necks. For some they are pronounced, for others they are barely noticeable.
What causes this defect:
- Heredity and the special structure of the neck.
- The dermis of the neck contains an insufficient number of melanocytes. If there are few of them, then the epidermis undergoes very rapid fading.
- Thin people have insufficient neck fat. Over time, this area begins to age.
- Fluid deficiency in the body, malocclusion, lack of sex hormones, osteochondrosis of the cervical vertebrae.
- Incorrect body position while sleeping and working at the computer.
There are other reasons, for example, poor care, poor nutrition, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Can't do without a massage
Do you want others not to know your real age? Get a neck massage for wrinkles! This method works for the long term: there will be no immediate noticeable effect, but by the end of the month course the elasticity of the dermis will increase significantly, elasticity and tone will return, and small folds will disappear. How to massage? Follow the simple instructions.
- Moisturize the dermis of the neck and décolleté with cream.
- Using simple strokes, warm up the skin, thereby preparing it for the massage procedure.
- Start by tapping with your fingers. Move from the ears to the neckline.
- Move the inner part of your palm along the neck, especially carefully massage the vertebral part.
Massage movements accelerate metabolic processes at the cellular level and improve blood flow. This helps smooth out furrows and prevents the formation of new ones. It is important to do the massage correctly: pulling the skin, pinching, and strong pressure can only aggravate the situation.
How to get rid of skin defects on the neck
Some women go to beauty salons, while others try to get rid of this problem at home. It is advisable to start anti-aging procedures immediately after 25 years. But at any other age it’s not too late to start taking care of yourself.
From personal experience. A friend of mine has been doing one single exercise to strengthen her neck muscles for 10 years. Being at a respectable age, she still does not have a single wrinkle.
Exercise: place two fingers on the corners of your lips to prevent wrinkles from forming here. Start tightening your neck muscles so that the skin on it rises up. To feel this, place your palm on your neck and tense your muscles. It is enough to do this movement 30 times a day to have a youthful neck.
There are other exercises:
- While sitting on a chair, slowly rotate your head 10 times in each direction.
- The following movement will help to engage the deep neck muscles: move your head left and right. The movement is reminiscent of oriental dance. You need to do 4 sets of 10 times in each direction.
- Make 5 circular movements with your neck in each direction. The head should remain motionless.
- Stand near a wall with your shoulders pressed against it. Smoothly turn your head 10 times in each direction. The chin should not go beyond the shoulder line.
- Turn your head towards your shoulder, try to tilt it low. Do the exercises 15 times in each direction.
- Lower your head to your chest and relax. Slowly roll your head from one shoulder to the other.
- Grasp your upper lip with your lower teeth and tilt your chin as high as possible to tighten the muscles under your chin. Hold for 20 seconds. Perform 20 times in 3 sets.
Daily gymnastics, which you only need to spend a few minutes on, will save you from premature aging of the neck, which is so revealing of a woman’s age.
This complex for the neck is shown by Elena Pyatibrat. She is already over 60, and she is happy to share her methods of maintaining beauty and youth.
Contraindications, possible complications
The question of contraindications arises mainly in relation to salon procedures. Each has its own nuances, but there are also general prohibitions on their implementation:
- carrying a child and breastfeeding it;
The body of a pregnant woman is radically restructured; it is very difficult to predict how it will react to any outside intervention in this state.
- oncology and benign tumors;
- any chronic diseases, especially during exacerbations;
- autoimmune diseases;
- inflammatory processes, colds;
A cold or even just feeling unwell is a reason to postpone a visit to a cosmetologist
- unhealed mechanical damage to the epidermis;
- low blood clotting, thinness and high sensitivity of the skin, tendency to form rough scars.
Massage and gymnastics are prohibited in case of pathologies of the nervous and lymphatic systems, the presence of wounds, burns, abrasions on the skin (until they heal). The last contraindication also applies to cosmetics. Individual intolerance is also added here. To avoid allergies, test any new product on the skin of your hand, rubbing a little into your forearm from the inside. Wait half an hour, if during this time the skin condition has not changed (no rash, swelling, itching, redness), the cosmetics can be safely used for their intended purpose.
The development of allergies can be triggered by both organic and synthetic ingredients in home and commercial cosmetics.
Anti-aging masks
To slow down the aging of the delicate area, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive care, which includes massage, gymnastics, masks, and wraps.
If you regularly carry out the proposed manipulations, then within a month you can get rid of wrinkles and prevent further aging of the skin.
There are also many anti-aging masks in the people's collection:
Mask with gelatin
Gelatin perfectly eliminates fine wrinkles, makes the skin smooth and elastic. Take 1 tsp. gelatin, dilute in 1 tbsp. l. cold water, heat until gelatin dissolves.
Pour in 1 tbsp. l. milk, add 1 teaspoon of starch. Apply the paste to the problem area with a brush. Next, alternately apply a towel soaked first in hot and then in cold water.
Classification of wrinkles
Types and types of wrinkles. By depth:
- superficial - they are also called epidermal. Such wrinkles often occur at a young age as a result of improper care, as well as with certain types of dermatitis;
- medium depth - or dermal wrinkles, as a result of the appearance of fine wrinkles. Wrinkles affect the deeper middle layer, forming grooves;
- deep wrinkles form in the lower layers of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, the firmness and elasticity of the skin is lost, and the shape of the face is deformed.
By nature of appearance:
- facial (dynamic) - occur mainly in very emotional people who tend to express their feelings with the help of facial expressions. Such wrinkles appear at an early age;
- static (gravity) – wrinkles occur when the skin on the face and neck sagging. Basically, such wrinkles occur with a sharp decrease in weight; the skin, due to gravity (gravity), sags and becomes flabby;
- age wrinkles associated directly with the aging process of the body as a whole.
The possibility cannot be ruled out that wrinkles can be combined - they have signs of both dynamic and static.
