Neck wrinkles~

Taking a Closer Look at Neck Wrinkles

Neck Wrinkles?

They can be considered just as important as facial wrinkles when it comes to estimating age.

That is why they need just as much attention as the face,

but many people overlook them and are shocked when they notice lines that have already become deeply etched.

Why Do Neck Wrinkles Develop?

Aging _ As we age, collagen and elastin in the dermal layer of the skin decrease, reducing elasticity.

As the skin stretches and sags, wrinkles develop.

In addition, the platysma muscle in the neck weakens and separates, creating vertical wrinkles.

Genetic factors _ In some cases, deep horizontal wrinkles are present from birth in areas where the skin naturally folds (oh... no...)

Poor posture _ Bending the neck excessively forward when looking at a smartphone or reading a book

can deepen horizontal wrinkles in the neck skin.

UV exposure _ The skin on the neck has fewer sebaceous glands than facial skin, so it is prone to dryness.

Neglecting sun protection can also easily lead to photoaging and reduced elasticity.

Two Types of Neck Wrinkles

Horizontal Neck Lines _ Horizontal wrinkles that encircle the neck

They are associated with congenital factors and poor posture involving bending the neck forward.

Vertical Neck Bands _ Vertical wrinkles extending from below the center of the chin toward the collarbone

They mainly develop as the platysma, the muscle at the front of the neck, weakens and stretches with age, making the muscle bands more prominent.

They become more noticeable from middle age onward and stand out more clearly when the neck muscles are tensed.

Treatments for Neck Wrinkles?

The appropriate treatment varies depending on the type of neck wrinkles [horizontal / vertical], their depth, and the degree of skin sagging.

Neck Wrinkle Filler

Useful for deep horizontal wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid filler is injected beneath the wrinkle lines

to immediately fill sunken areas and make the grooves of the wrinkles shallower.

A notable feature of the treatment is that

the procedure is brief and the effects are immediate, but the duration is limited.

Neck Wrinkle Botox

Effective for vertical wrinkles [platysma bands].

Botox is injected into the platysma at the front of the neck to ease excessive muscle contraction,

relaxing the stretched vertical bands and improving wrinkles.

The key point is that

it works by weakening muscle strength to smooth wrinkles, and its effect on horizontal wrinkles is minimal.

Radiofrequency / Ultrasound Lifting

Effective for reduced skin elasticity and fine wrinkles.

Devices such as Ultherapy and Thermage deliver thermal energy to the deeper layers of the skin,

stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin to improve elasticity.

Its notable features are that it is

noninvasive, requires a short recovery period, and is more suitable for improving fine wrinkles and elasticity than deep wrinkles.

Thread Lifting [PDO / PLLA Threads]

Primarily used for wrinkles accompanied by sagging.

Dissolvable threads are inserted beneath the neck skin to lift sagging skin,

stimulate collagen production around the threads to strengthen elasticity, and smooth wrinkles.

A notable feature is that

it is effective for improving a loose neck contour and may improve naturally over time.

If symptoms are severe,

it is advisable to consult a professional, receive an accurate diagnosis, and then take appropriate action!
