The neck is one of the main markers of a person's true age. You can achieve perfect youthful facial proportions, but if you do not care for the skin of the neck, then everything will be in vain. Wrinkles, wrinkles, sagging neck skin will still tell others that you are far from 18 or even 25!
Therefore, the throat is the place that needs to be cared for in combination with facial skin rejuvenation. After all, the skin of the neck is very thin, it has a minimal number of sebaceous glands, so age-related changes often appear much earlier than on the face.
In addition, a woman's throat has fewer melanocytes (cells that protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation), which means that it is more active in photoaging.
What is recommended to keep the skin in this delicate area in perfect condition?
Injection methods for neck reconstruction
As soon as the skin of the neck begins to thin out, dry out and become wrinkled, the stocks of hyaluronic acid in it must be replenished immediately. This is done in the following ways:
- introduction of fillers based on natural hyaluronic acid;
- by injection skin restructuring (Biorevitalization, Mesotherapy).
Specially designed low-density gels are usually used to regenerate the cervical region. Although liquid preparations usually dissolve faster, this does not apply to the throat. Here, liquid fillers better model the silhouette, retain a beautifully filled shape, look natural and last a long time - at least a year. At the same time, the rehabilitation period after the procedure is not necessary - modern fillers practically do not cause edema and other side effects.
Perfectly tightens the skin of the neck and a new generation of fillers that start the process of producing their own collagen. For example, an innovative Dutch filler.
The effect of this filler on the tissues is comparable to the effect of threading, as both the injectable filler and modern threads contain a component such as caprolactone. It is a completely biodegradable soft medical suture that has been used in medical practice for many decades with excellent results. In other words, the filler works mainly to tighten the tissues.
This filler does not attract moisture, so it does not cause swelling. Thanks to this unique feature, it can be used in such delicate places as eyes, lips, neck, décolleté area. Stimulates the production of type 1 collagen, which creates a velvety skin and excellent lifting effect.
The drug strengthens the collagen framework and has a biologically enhancing effect, making the skin more elastic and toned.
High-quality carrier gel prevents "migration" of the implant and guarantees complete predictability and stability of the contouring result. It is a biodegradable filler, that is, it 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 is an intradermal microinjection of hyaluronic acid preparations. The procedure quickly restores water balance and normalizes dermal metabolism.
Hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin is used for the procedures. Once in the skin, it is broken down into simple components, from which hyaluronic acid itself is immediately synthesized. The main effect of such injections is not immediate but over time and is more of a long-term nature. After all, they do not replace natural synthesis processes, but enhance, accelerate and stimulate them.
The number of treatments and their frequency depend on the severity of the problems and the degree of skin dehydration (usually 1 to 2-3 treatments).
Mesotherapy is a similar technique, only mini-injections of "biologically active" cocktails are injected into the skin, the composition of which may vary depending on the problem to be solved. "Mesococci" usually contain vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, plant extracts and other valuable elements. Mesotherapy procedures allow all the active substances to be injected into the skin and help to restore it from the inside.
Perfect for regenerating the cervical region Plasmolifting. It has long been known that our blood has a powerful resource for rejuvenation and healing, we just need to activate this potential.
As a result, the skin becomes as elastic, dense, toned, radiant as it was when it was young. Wrinkles, wrinkles, age spots and other aesthetic defects disappear.
Laser technology for sensitive areas
Fraxel fractional regeneration with a laser device can be used as an independent technique for neck regeneration and possibly in combination with injections. American Fraxel is a unique device that regenerates human skin and frees it from all defects. A thin (thinner than a human hair) laser beam forms thousands of impact microzones (microthermal treatment zones) on every centimeter of skin. These microzones destroy old and damaged collagen and excess pigment. At the same time, many viable cells remain around each exposed microzone, which are activated by heat. During this process, which can last from several hours to several days, defective skin appears in place of each micro-zone.
A unique feature of Fraxel is that the laser does not destroy the upper layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum. Therefore, the skin looks natural after the procedure.
After the laser fractional restoration procedure, the structure of the skin itself changes. It becomes smoother, hydrated, supple, less prone to inflammation and rashes. It becomes easier to take care of them at home.
The fractional laser acts on the skin delicately, but the number of procedures depends on the initial data and the problem to be solved. Some people need one procedure a year, and some may need a course of 3-5 procedures.
The result, namely new beautiful skin, can last a long time.
Ultrasound for non-surgical neck lift
Unlike laser technology, which can only be used during the period with the least solar activity (ie autumn, winter and early spring), modern ultrasound techniques are suitable for use throughout the season.
And they are comparable to the effect of surgical lifting, which is known to reduce not only stretched skin, but also muscles.
A non-surgical alternative to lifting the neck to the muscular system level (SMAS level) is the famous Altera therapy, which is performed with 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, first reducing the collagen fibers and providing a lifting effect, and then starting the process of new collagen formation. In this case, the skin surface is not damaged. About a week after the Altera treatment procedure, the synthesis of type III collagen (also called new collagen) increases as it becomes type I collagen not only in the direct thermal zones but also below them.
This leads to the development of a non-surgical tissue lifting effect without damaging the skin surface. The maximum effect occurs 3 months after the procedure.
A unique additional benefit 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 the treatment.
As with surgical skin tightening, a single exposure is sufficient for 1, 5 to 3 years or more, depending on the individual characteristics of the body.
Thread technology for neck restoration
Ultrasonic lifting using filament technology is recommended for elderly patients. Use of self-absorbing threads. Other threads are used to adjust the chin line.
All of these threads have notches and, when they enter the skin, in addition to the visible tissue contraction, they also begin the process of regeneration.
Thus, the combination of ultrasound and thread lifting will provide a strong double lifting and recovery effect.
