What are the causes? How to treat it?

Typically, we are more concerned with treating the skin of the face, leaving aside that of the neck and décolleté. But the latter are the contour of our face and like it they age and need care so as not to create the contrast that would highlight ageing! What are the main causes of ageing in this area? Certainly in first place is advancing age, then we find UV rays and age-related hormonal changes. In addition, we must consider the fact that the skin of the neck is much thinner, lacks sebaceous glands that guarantee its hydration, and is constantly subjected to movements that can worsen the formation of wrinkles.

The first thing we must remember to do, especially during our daily skincare, is to extend the application of facial products to the neck and décolleté as well, from serums with vitamin c or hyaluronic acid to moisturising cream and sunscreen!

There are also specific treatments for this area that improve imperfections such as laxity, wrinkles, dyschromia and spots. At our Lugano centre we offer various non-invasive treatments such as the Fotona 4D laser for neck rejuvenation, and in some cases we also combine hifu treatment to treat laxity and superficial wrinkles.

We also offer injection treatments such as bio-revititalising collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamins... to improve skin tone and firmness, or botulinum toxin to reduce the contraction of the platysmal bands.

If you are interested in these treatments, understand which one is suitable for you or have any questions for us, please do not hesitate to contact our practice!
