Understanding the Neck and Décolletage
At Elevate Wellness and Medspa, we recognize that caring for your skin extends beyond the face to include the neck and décolletage. The décolletage refers to the area of the chest that is exposed by lower necklines, extending from the collarbone to the upper bust. This area is often overlooked but is equally susceptible to signs of aging and damage from environmental factors.
The skin on the neck is thinner and more delicate than facial skin. It can lose elasticity more quickly and tends to develop wrinkles and sagging. Because of these differences, special attention is required to maintain a youthful appearance in both the neck and décolletage.
Top 5 Aging Challenges in the Neck and Décolletage
Skin Laxity
Loss of collagen and elastin leads to sagging skin, resulting in an unflattering contour along the jawline and neck area.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
The neck often develops noticeable lines and wrinkles faster than other areas due to its delicate skin composition.
Sun Damage
Chronic sun exposure can create age spots, discoloration, and a rough texture, particularly visible in the décolletage.
Crepey Skin
A lack of moisture and elasticity results in a crepe-like texture that signifies aging.
Vertical Bands
Many individuals notice the appearance of vertical lines or bands in the neck, caused by muscle tone loss and skin laxity.
