NECK & DECOLLETAGE
By Sally Ann Dolan , SDS Rejuvenate
When it comes to reversing the signs of ageing and fixing our imperfections , we tend to focus on the face sometimes forgetting about the neck and decolletage . While complexions get treated to high tech treatments , tailored facials and thorough daily skincare routines , this TLC often stops at the chin . But taking your skincare all the way to your décolletage is crucial to keeping the skin healthy and looking it ' s best .
The neck and decolletage area deserves just as much attention because the skin here is much more delicate , perhaps even more so as the neck and chest area contains less sebaceous glands ( which leads to drier skin ) and less melanocytes , which are cells that naturally protect the skin from UV rays . Plus , spritzing perfume with high alcohol content on your neck and then heading out into the sunshine without SPF on that area can also lead to skin sensitivity and sun damage , which in turn leads to pigmentation , fine lines and dry patches .
Here at SDS Rejuvenate MediSpa we believe in treating the skin as one and this means giving the neck décolletage the same level of care as the face . Discover my expert tips to encourage a healthier-looking décolletage and neck .
IN CLINIC TREATMENTS : Treatment : MORPHEUS8 A minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure combining microneedling and radiofrequency that can achieve remarkable results in anti-ageing , lifting , and tightening of loose skin . The treatment promotes a smoother , more contoured , lifted and more youthful appearance . Great for : Improving unwanted sagging and contouring around jawline area , smoothing fine lines and wrinkles . What Happens : The procedure is simple , safe and causes minimal discomfort with minimal downtime . ( Numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area for additional comfort ). The therapist will then apply the Morpheus8 applicator on the skin . The 24 coated pins penetrate into the subdermal tissue to correct lines , wrinkles and sagging tissue . Results : Most clients will see an immediate improvement which continues to tighten and lift over the upcoming 6 months as collagen rebuilds and replenishes . Number of treatments : Course of 3 treatments , 1 month apart .
Treatment : Collagen Biostimulator Treatment ( Skin Boosting ) Skin boosting is an aesthetic injectable treatment using a product made of Hyaluronic acid ( HA ), which is a soft gel like substance famed for their skin revitalising and rejuvenation properties that can improve skin texture , elasticity , hydration , and overall appearance . This involves a series of tiny injections , strategically placed around the treatment area , under the skin , which improves the skins elastic , firmness and radiance giving an overall skin quality . Great for : Dry , crepey skin , fine lines , especially necklace lines . What Happens : Small amounts of hyaluronic acid are injected into the skin at various points . This natural substance penetrates the skin ’ s innermost layers to revitalise it from within . After the treatment has been administered , there may be some initial swelling . As the skin gradually absorbs the gel , the swelling decreases within 24 – 48 hours . Results : Most clients will see an immediate improvement , the skin feels super hydrated , smooth , looks brighter , luminous , and radiant . Number of treatments : Depends on the skin booster used and your concern , it could take 1 or 3 sessions .
Treatment : Fotona Laser Tightsculpt A non-invasive treatment for body sculpting and skin tightening . The procedure has two parts . In the first , the long Nd : YAG PIANO ® pulse laser targets adipose tissue beneath the surface of your skin , sending subtle heated energy that stimulates adipocyte ( fat ) cell metabolism . The second part of the procedure uses the Er : YAG SMOOTH ® wavelength to heat surface tissue to initiate collagen remodelling and new collagen growth , improving your skin ’ s laxity . Great for : Turkey neck , double chin , crepey and uneven skin . What Happens : You ’ ll likely feel some gradual warming , and maybe short hot sensations in the area being treated . In the second part when the laser heats the skin superficially , the sensations might be a little warmer , but they ’ ll still be controlled and tolerable . The Fotona machine we use has an innovative temperature monitor that lets us effectively target specific tissue and keep you comfortable . Results : Most patients experience immediate tightening in the treated area . In the days and weeks that follow , you should notice improvement in contour and tighter elasticity as your newly refreshed skin develops . Number of treatments : 3 to 6 monthly sessions .
