The neck is one of the main signs that reflects a person's true age. You can achieve the ideal young proportions of the face, but if you do not take care of the skin of the neck, then everything will be in vain. Wrinkles, wrinkles, skin around the neck will still tell others that you are far from 18 or even 25!
The neck is therefore the area that needs care 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 often appear on it earlier than on the face.
In addition, a woman's neck has fewer melanocytes (cells that protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation), which means she experiences more active photogenic aging.
What is recommended to keep the skin in perfect condition in this delicate place?
Injection technique for neck rejuvenation
As soon as the skin of the neck begins to thin, dry, wrinkle, it is necessary to replenish the supply of hyaluronic acid in it. This is done in the following ways:
- Introduction of natural hyaluronic acid-based fillers;
- With the help of skin restructuring injection (biorevitalization, mesotherapy).
Specially designed low-density gels are usually used to rejuvenate the cervical region. Although liquid preparations usually dissolve faster, this does not apply to the neck. Here more liquid fillers better shape the silhouette, maintain a beautifully filled shape, look natural and last longer - at least a year. At the same time, there is no need for a rehabilitation period after the procedure - modern fillers practically do not cause swelling and other unwanted side effects.
Perfectly tightens neck skin and a new generation of fillers that begin the process of producing their own collagen. For example, the innovative Dutch filler.
The effect of this filler in fabrics is comparable to the effect of thread installation, as both the injection filler and the modern yarn composition include a component such as caprolactone. It is a fully biodegradable soft medical suture that has been used in medical practice for many decades with excellent results. In other words, the filler mainly works to tighten the tissues.
This filler does not attract moisture, so it does not cause swelling. Because of these unique properties, it can be used on delicate areas such as eyes, lips, neck, décolleté. Stimulates the production of type 1 collagen, which creates a velvety skin effect and excellent lifting.
The drug strengthens the collagen framework and has a bio-enhancing effect, making the skin more elastic and toned.
The high quality carrier gel eliminates the "migration" of the implant and ensures full predictability and stability of the contour result. It is a biodegradable filler, ie it is completely removed from the body at the end of the 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 for the procedures. Once in the skin, it is broken down into simple components, from which it immediately begins to synthesize its own hyaluronic acid. The main effect of such injections occurs not immediately, but over time and is of a more long-term nature. They do not alter the natural processes of synthesis, but rather enhance, accelerate and stimulate them.
The number of procedures and their frequency depends on the severity of the problems and the degree of skin dehydration (usually 1 to 2-3 procedures).
Mesotherapy is a similar technique, in which only small injections of special "cocktails" of biologically active drugs are injected into the skin, the composition of which may vary according to the problem. "Mesococktails" usually contain vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, plant extracts and other valuable elements. Mesotherapy procedures allow you to inject all the active ingredients into the skin and help rejuvenate it from within.
Ideal for plasmolifting to rejuvenate the cervical region. It has long been known that our blood has a powerful resource for the recovery and recovery of the body, we just need to activate this potential.
As a result, the skin becomes just as elastic, dense, tonic, radiant as in youth. Wrinkles, creases, age spots and other aesthetic defects disappear.
Laser technology for delicate areas
Fractional rejuvenation with the Fraxel laser apparatus can be used as an independent technique for neck rejuvenation and possibly in combination with injections. American Fraxel is a unique device that refreshes human skin and frees it from any defects. A thin (thinner than a human hair) laser beam forms thousands of microzones of impact (microthermal processing zones) on every inch of skin. Old and defective collagen and excess pigment are destroyed in these microzones. At the same time, many viable cells remain around each microzone of exposure, which are activated under the influence of heat. During this process, which can last from a few hours to several days, skin without defects appears at the site of each microzone.
A unique feature of Fraxel is that the laser does not destroy the upper layer of the epidermis - the corneal layer. So after the procedure the skin looks natural.
The skin structure changes after the laser fractional rejuvenation procedure. It becomes smoother, moisturized, elastic, less prone to inflammation and rash. It becomes easier to take care of it at home.
The fractional laser works delicately on the skin, but the number of procedures depends on the initial data and the problem solved. For some, one procedure a year is enough, while for others, it may take 3-5 courses.
The result, namely young beautiful skin, can last a long time.
Ultrasound for non-surgical neck lifting
Unlike laser technologies, which can be used only during the period of the least activity of the sun (ie autumn, winter and early spring), modern ultrasound equipment is suitable for all seasons.
And they are comparable to the effect of a surgical lift, which, as you know, reduces not only stretched skin but also muscles.
A non-surgical alternative to neck lift at the musculoskeletal system (SMAS level) is the well-known Altera Therapy, which is performed on the American Ulthera system.
The device is based on focused ultrasound, which can penetrate subcutaneously to a depth of 6-8 mm, first reduces the collagen fibers there and provides a lifting effect, and then begins the process of formation of young collagen. In this case, the skin surface is not damaged. About a week after the Altera therapy procedure, the synthesis of type III collagen (also called young collagen) increases to its subsequent transformation into type I collagen not only in the immediate areas of thermal exposure but also below them.
This leads to the development of a non-surgical lifting effect of the tissue without damaging the skin surface. The maximum effect is achieved 3 months after the procedure.
The unique additional advantage of using ultrasound for skin rejuvenation is the ability to directly visualize the dermis and subcutaneous structures in real time, which increases the safety level of the therapy.
As with surgical skin stretching, a single exposure is sufficient. The result obtained lasts from 1, 5 to 3 or more years, depending on the individual characteristics of the body.
Thread technology for neck rejuvenation
Elderly patients are recommended to undergo ultrasonic lifting using thread technologies. Use of self-absorbing yarns. Other threads are used to straighten the chin line.
All of these threads have wounds and when they get into the skin, in addition to the noticeable stretching of the tissues, they also begin the rejuvenating process.
Thus, the combination of ultrasonic and thread lifting will give you a strong dual effect of lifting and rejuvenation.
