OFF YOUR DÉCOLLETÉ.
3. Skin sagging
We cannot envisage treating the neck without first treating
the face, particularly the middle and lower third. The superficial
cutaneous layers are mobile, so we must first reposition
the volumes in the middle and lower thirds of the face.
For the neck, biodegradable PDO (polydioxanone) threads,
inserted transversally into the dermis (CROMA ® Aqualift ® )
block any dynamic wrinkles and, secondly, bring about collagen
synthesis. The firming effect is undeniable and long-lasting
on the neck. The winning formula is: HA injections into
the wrinkle + horizontal insertion of PDO threads vertically
for a “corset” effect.
On the décolleté, we need to insert the threads transversally
in a mesh pattern.
More severe skin sagging in the neck can be treated using
polylactic acid or caprolactone suspension threads, either
with barbs or cones (SINCLAIR Silhouette Soft ® , CROMA ® ,
APTOS ® ).
These new materials and more advanced insertion techniques
allow us to achieve a visible lift without surgery for
one or two years, depending on the number of threads fitted.
The treatment can also be repeated.
and creates a unique combination of therapeutic ingredients
(UNIVERSKIN ® ).
2. Fine lines and wrinkles
Just like in the face, a loss of proteins (collagen and elastin) in
the dermis plus the effects of gravity lead to horizontal wrinkles
on the neck and fan-shaped wrinkles on the décolleté.
Depending on the severity of the wrinkles, treatment involves
hyaluronic acid injections:
• A medium cross-linked product along the wrinkles or in
papules on the décolleté
• An intensely-hydrating product as a skin booster
(RESTINAL Vital ® )
• Or the mesolift technique (FILLMED ® )
“Mesobotox” may be recommended to smooth the décolleté.
Tissue regeneration:
• HA + PRP – Matrix Cellular ® RegenLab
• HA + Amino Acids – SUNEKOS 200 ® or SUNEKOS 1200 ®
• Topical growth factors with microneedling – AQ SKIN
SOLUTIONS ®
The new packaging in 2ml syringes or 3ml bottles allows us
to cover larger areas.
The patient can now maintain the effects at home by applying
hydrating, anti-aging and anti-blemish active ingredients -
BIOCYTE ® décolleté mask, CROMA ® .
The “Nefertiti lift” involves botulinum toxin injections under
the chin, into the platysma muscle and its cords.
It is recommended for the oval and the lower third of the face,
providing there is no ptosis or accumulation of fat, no double
chin, and no significant jowls.
4. How to treat a double chin and jowls
Radiofrequency is always a good, straightforward solution.
Treating skin sagging and fatty deposits makes the oval look
more defined.
New: Kybella ® DEOXYCHOLATE lipolysis, however a decree
issued by the French health authority (HAS) prevents it from
being used in France.
A gentler option is a mesotherapy cocktail with a firming and
draining effect (mesoestetic ® ), lipo-regulating peptides and,
best of all, cryotherapy to melt away a double chin (DELEO ® ,
cryosculpt).
New, must-try treatment: HIFU focused ultrasounds. Fractional
technology that acts upon the proteins in the deep dermis
and the hypodermal tissues. A painful but effective way of
tightening up the skin for the long term.
There is no maximum age for showing off your décolleté.
Older ladies no longer need to hide their chest with a scarf or
polar neck jumper: women have the freedom to choose what
they wear and which parts of their body they want to flaunt!
The face, décolleté and legs are the hallmarks of femininity!
