As with all skin, factors like genetics, extreme weight loss, collagen and elastin breakdown, and sun exposure can affect how your neck ages. However, there are additional factors that can act specifically on the neck to make it look older than the rest of you.
What are the causes of Sagging Neck?
The need to tighten and rejuvenate our necks becomes more of a priority as we age with discoloured and wrinkled or sagging skin starting to appear as we hit the age of 40.
The skin on our neck and décolletage is prone to premature ageing as it’s three times thinner than the skin on our faces. It also lacks the regenerative ability required to bounce back when damaged.
Environmental factors such as excessive UV exposure and over sensitisation from perfume spraying are key causes for our necks and décolletages ageing before their time.
HOW IS THIS TREATED?
Injectable anti-wrinkle treatments involve small amounts of toxin being injected into specific areas of the face and neck to weaken the muscle movement. This prevents the muscles from contracting to form wrinkles, or from bulging to form a ‘turkey neck’ appearance.
CHIN SCULPTING INJECTIONS
This type of cosmetic injectable destroys and permanently eliminates fat cells from under the chin. Containing a synthesised deoxycholic acid, which occurs naturally in the body, it works to reduce fat, tighten, rejuvenate and contour your jawline for a slimmer, more refined appearance.
SKIN TIGHTENING
A skin tightening procedure is phenomenally popular with our patients, with many seeking treatment to rid them of their sagging skin. A simple online search about reducing sagging skin will find many creams claiming to aid this indication but at our clinic, we provide device-based procedures and lasers as opposed to lotions, proven to give the results you desire.
Factors To Consider
UV EXPOSURE – UV exposure, in particular, is harmful to the skin, breaking down collagen and elastin, which keep skin supple and firm. UV rays can be encountered not just when directly in the sun, but also on tanning beds, speeding up the natural ageing process.
Smoking – Smoking, thanks to the effects it has on the supply of oxygenated blood to the upper layers of skin, accelerates skin’s ageing process, and lack of vitamin A in your diet can affect cell turnover, leading to less healthy skin that is more prone to damage as it is dehydrated.
WEIGHT – Changes in weight can alter the appearance of your skin; as you gain weight your skin stretches, and during fast weight loss, it isn’t given the time to adjust and shrink, leaving it saggy or loose, especially in areas that are delicate like the neck and décolletage.
