In article in Prevention Magazine, Dr. Patel gives tips on reversing signs of neck ageing.
You’ve probably spent most of your adult life taking care of the skin on your face but have you been forgetting about your neck?
Not only is your neck going through the same wear and tear, but it’s also typically the first area of the body to show signs of ageing.
If you have loose skin…
Sagging skin along the jaw, neck, and décolletage occur over time as collagen and elastin start to break down. And as it ages, the skin doesn’t have the ability to bounce back like it used to, says dermatologist Dr Purvisha Patel.
The fix: After applying sunscreen, the neck should be moisturised to maximize collagen within the skin, says Neinstein. No matter the moisturizer you’re using, apply it to the base of the neck up to the jawline, says Patel, which helps stimulate upward direction and prevents more pulling down.
There’s also Ultherapy, a focused ultrasound treatment that stimulates the growth of new collagen deep within the skin, essentially acting as a non-surgical facelift. “It’s the only non-surgical procedure that’s gained approval to lift the skin on the neck, chin and brow,” says Patel. “Just one treatment is required in most cases, and the skin gradually tightens.”
