The neck is one of the main indicators of a person's true age. You can achieve the ideal age proportions of the face, but if you do not take care of the skin of the neck, then everything will be in vain. Wrinkles on the neck, wrinkles, sagging skin will tell others that you are far from 18 or even 25!
Therefore, the neck is an area that needs to be taken care of while rejuvenating the skin. Because the skin of the neck is very thin, there is a minimal number of sebaceous glands, so age changes often occur much earlier than the face.
In addition, a woman's neck contains fewer melanocytes (cells that protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation), which means that she is exposed to active photorejuvenation.
What is recommended to keep the skin in perfect condition in this sensitive area?
Injection techniques to rejuvenate the neck
When the skin of the neck becomes thin, dry and wrinkled, it is necessary to immediately replenish the reserves of hyaluronic acid. This is done in the following ways:
- introduction of fillers based on natural hyaluronic acid;
- by injection skin reconstruction (Biorevitalization, Mesotherapy).
For cervical rejuvenation, specially designed low-density gels are usually used. Although liquid drugs usually dissolve faster, it is not for the neck. The more liquid fillers here model the silhouette better, retain their beautifully filled shape, look natural and last a long time - at least a year. At the same time, after the procedure, a recovery period is not required - modern fillers do not actually cause swelling and other unpleasant side effects.
Perfectly tightens the skin of the neck and fillers of the new generation, which begin the process of developing its own collagen. For example, the innovative Dutch filler.
The effect of this filler on the tissues is comparable to the effect of thread placement, as both the injection filler and modern threads contain a component such as caprolactone. This is a completely biodegradable soft medical suture that has been used with excellent results for many decades in medical practice. In other words, the filler works mainly to strengthen the tissues.
This filler does not absorb moisture and therefore does not cause swelling. Due to this unique property, it can be used on delicate areas such as the eyes, lips, neck and décolleté. Stimulates the production of type 1 collagen, which creates velvety skin and an excellent lifting effect.
The drug strengthens the collagen base and has a biologically enhancing effect, making the skin supple and elastic.
The high-quality carrier gel eliminates the "migration" of the implant and guarantees complete predictability and stability of the contouring result. This biodegradable filler is completely eliminated from the body at the end of its shelf life.
Procedures such as biorevitalization and mesotherapy are recommended for complex skin restructuring.
Biorevitalization - microinjection of hyaluronic acid drugs into the skin. The procedure quickly restores water balance and normalizes dermis metabolism.
Animal-derived hyaluronic acid is used for the procedure. Once in the skin, it breaks down into simpler components, from which its hyaluronic acid is immediately synthesized. The main effect of such embroidery is not immediate, but over time and has a long-term nature. This is because they do not replace the natural processes of synthesis, but intensify, accelerate and stimulate them.
The number of procedures and their frequency depends on the severity of the problem and the degree of skin dehydration (usually 1 to 2-3 procedures).
Mesotherapy is a similar technique, only mini-injections are introduced into the skin of special "cocktails" of biologically active drugs, the composition of which may vary depending on the problem. Mesococktails usually contain vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, plant extracts, and other valuable elements. Mesotherapy procedures allow the introduction of all active substances into the skin and help to rejuvenate it from within.
Plasmolifting is ideal for rejuvenating the cervix. It has long been known that our blood has a powerful resource for restoring and healing the body, we just need to activate this potential.
As a result, the skin becomes as supple, dense, toned and radiant as when it was young. Wrinkles, creases, age spots and other aesthetic imperfections disappear.
Laser technology for sensitive areas
Fraxel laser device fractional rejuvenation can be used as an independent method of neck rejuvenation, possibly in combination with injections. American Fraxel is a unique device that rejuvenates human skin and frees it from all imperfections. A thin laser beam creates thousands of micro-thermal zones (microthermal treatment zones) in every centimeter of skin. These microsons destroy old and damaged collagen and excess pigment. At the same time, many viable cells remain around each microzone, which are activated by heat. During this process, which can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, flawless skin is formed at the site of each microenvironment.
The unique feature of Fraxel is that the laser does not destroy the top layer of the epidermis - the stratum corneum. Therefore, the skin looks natural after the procedure.
After the laser fractional rejuvenation procedure, the structure of the skin changes. It is smooth, hydrated, flexible, less prone to inflammation and rashes. It is easier to take care of her at home.
Fractional lasers have a gentle effect on the skin, but the number of procedures depends on the initial data and the problem to be solved. One procedure per year is enough for someone, and someone may need a course of 3-5 procedures.
The result can last a long time, especially young beautiful skin.
Ultrasound for neck surgery without surgery
Unlike laser technology, which is used only during periods of low solar activity (ie, autumn, winter, and early spring), modern ultrasound techniques are suitable for use in all seasons.
And they can be compared 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 elevation at the muscular system level (SMAS level) is the famous Altera therapy performed in the American Ulthera system.
The device is based on focused ultrasound, which is able to penetrate under the skin to a depth of 6-8 mm, where it first reduces collagen fibers, gives a lifting effect, and then begins the process of formation of young collagen. In this case, the surface of the skin is not damaged. Approximately one week after the Altera therapy procedure, the synthesis of type III collagen (also called young collagen) increases with its subsequent conversion into type I collagen, not only in the immediate vicinity of the thermal effects, but also under them.
This leads to the development of the effect of lifting non-surgical tissues without damaging the skin surface. The maximum effect occurs 3 months after the procedure.
A 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 level of safety of therapy.
As with surgical skin tightening, a single exposure is sufficient. The result lasts from 1, 5 to 3 years or more, depending on the individual characteristics of the organism.
Thread technology for neck rejuvenation
Elderly patients are recommended to perform ultrasonic lifting using filament technology. Use of self-absorbing threads. Other threads are used to repair the jaw line.
All these threads have holes and penetrate the skin, in addition to the visible tightening of the tissues, in which the process of rejuvenation begins.
Thus, the combination of ultrasound and thread lifting gives a strong double effect of lifting and rejuvenation.
