What are necklines and what can we do to treat them?
Neck lines are the lines and wrinkles that form around the neck area. This area, like all skin is subject to ageing with issues arising like deep neck wrinkles. This can can give of an older appearance than you actually are due to the inconsistent texture. Sun damage is the biggest culprit when it comes to necklines. Sun damage from ultraviolet radiation causes premature ageing due to the change in DNA structure. Although it is possible to soften the effects of sun damage, you cant reverse the changes which have occurred within your DNA structure. It is therefore vital to protect your skin by wearing factor 50 when needed and avoiding direct sun exposure as much as possible.
Anti-wrinkle injections - this anti-wrinkle treatment works by relaxing the platysma muscle which is located in the neck. The weakening results in decreased formation of 'neck bands' giving a smoother and tighter looking neck area.
Radio frequency/hifu - non invasive treatment to tighten and lift the skin.
M22 laser resurfacing - removes the top layer of skin to stimulate collagen procuction for ultimate skin rejuvenation.
Radiesse - A biostimulate which acts as a skin booster providing the skin with increase hydration and improved skin texture.
