Neck wrinkles happen as we age due to the loss of skin strength and elasticity. The neck skin is not attached to any bones, and therefore will be one of the first areas to display the natural progressive pull of gravity. There are many different issues that we can address:
Vertical wrinkles occur as a result of reduced collagen production in the skin due to natural ageing process combined with less estrogen produced in women, long-term exposure to the sun and aggravated by smoking and poor hydration. Using Ultrasound technology, we are able to tighten your connective tissue to improve fine lines and texture. For more about Ultherapy, go to https://mdaesthetics.ca/products/ultherapy
Horizontal wrinkles caused by keeping the head in the same position over long periods of time, which usually occurs when working with a computer, or when you sleep. We often call these necklace lines. Using a combination of Filler and neuromodulators like Botox, Dr. Copeland is able to soften neck lines that often come with age.
Strong platysmal bands can also be an issue for some people. When the platysmal muscle contracts—like when you grimace or make certain facial expressions—it can cause vertical bands to form. To soften Platysmal Bands, we use neuromodulators like botox.
If you are suffering from thin skin, we can inject diluted Radiesse Filler superficially under aging skin in a scaffold-like pattern. These injected lines provide a stronger structural support system for the skin. More importantly, this diluted filler acts as a biostimulator. This means that the filler stimulates the body’s own biomolecular mechanisms to create and lay down new collagen, elastin and create new capillaries for the purpose of rejuvenating skin and underlying tissue. This is great for thinning neck skin. For more information about Collagen Builder Treatments, go to https://mdaesthetics.ca/products/collagen-builder
One thing that will help immensely is a neck-specific cream or serum. Many people swear by simply taking the product that you’re using on your face onto your neck too, but that could be doing more harm than good. The skin on the neck and décolletage is so thin, fragile and delicate, that using ordinary creams and lotions will only pull and drag the skin and create even more creasing and sagging. VIVIER GRENZCINE NECK is our go to neck cream: It is formulated to help increase the firmness of skin around the neck, while providing the benefits of diminished fine lines and wrinkles, increased luminosity and improved skin tone, texture and elasticity. Ideal for all skin types.
