Solving the problems of restoring beauty in such a delicate zone will help the contouring of the neck.
No matter how young the face looked, the woman's age often betrayed her neck. Wrinkles, loose skin on the neck worry not only the ladies, but also the men who are watching their appearance. Skin covers in the neck are considered one of the most delicate areas, since they practically do not have a layer, fatty tissue.
How is the contour plastic neck?
Most often in the correction of wrinkles in the neck and neck area is carried out with the help of fillers based on hyaluronic acid. Fillers are perfectly perceived by the skin, spreading along its specific loose layer. In addition to the pronounced cosmetic effect, GC preparations are able to activate the regenerative properties of the dermis and even stimulate the production and synthesis of natural, natural tissue fibers. In practical cosmetology it is believed that the neck zone is well amenable to correction with the help of biorevitalization and reinforcement.
Let us consider these procedures in more detail:
- Biorevitalization in the last ten years has been deservedly recognized as the most demanded and effective procedure in the category of anti-aging manipulation. Its essence lies in stimulating the body's own reserves to restore the normal water balance of the skin, in activating the production of collagen and elastin. As a filler, hyaluronic acid preparations are used which are not subjected to chemical modification, the so-called unstabilized GC. The course of contour plastic neck neck fillers is designed for 3-5 procedures depending on the skin condition, the result is noticeable immediately after the first manipulation, and the effect lasts up to 12 months.
- Bioarchivation of the neck can also be considered one of the most effective procedures that can provide not only skin lifting, but also prevent their early aging. Soft tissues are subjected to reinforcement, the procedure uses biosynthetic GC preparations that act in this way:
- perform a skeleton function. The drug is administered intradermally and lasts up to 12 months in the tissues, forming a kind of skeleton, fixing the matrix and keeping the skin from sagging.
- activate the production of collagen, due to the fact that hyaluronic acid releases molecules that stimulate the process of neocollagenesis.
- have a pronounced lifting action due to activation of intradermal microfibrosis.
Results of contour plastics of the neck
The optimal period of treatment for a cosmetologist to care for the neck area with contour plasty is age 40-55 years. The results that a woman receives are visible to the naked eye:
- The neutralization of wrinkles, including deep wrinkles.
- A tightened face oval.
- Restoration of skin turgor.
- Reduction of the so-called "double" chin.
- Significant improvement in skin color.
Correction of the skin of the neck with Botox
It should be noted that in the correction of the skin of the neck, injections of Botox can also help, especially if wrinkles are associated with the subcutaneous muscle - platism. Such wrinkles appear even in young women, causing many problems with absolutely young skin of the face. If platism is prone to excessive tone, Botox helps to relax it, reduce mobility.
The procedures are carried out with a course of several weeks to allow the body to get used to the change in the mode of the swallowing function. The effect of the introduction of Botox persists for 8-12 months, depending on the depth of wrinkles and the individual characteristics of the client. The procedure for introducing botulinum toxins into the neck is absolutely safe, provided that the expert competently selects the dosage of the drug and masterfully owns the technique of performing the manipulation.
Neck contouring with Botox should not be performed more than three times during the year, otherwise the risk of an aggressive response from the immune system, muscle atony and impaired conduction of the neuromuscular impulse may occur. In general, Botox injections are considered effective, but not universal, so the method and method of restoring the skin turgor should be chosen by the cosmetologist, taking into account the age and physiological characteristics of the client.
Contour plastic neck - this is not the only solution to the problems of aesthetic order, if a woman has pronounced muscular cords, gravitational ptosis of tissues, a significant accumulation of the subcutaneous fat layer, it is possible that the doctor will advise a more extensive and serious procedure from the category of plastic surgery.
Causes of aging of the neck skin
Over time, the skin becomes thinner, dehydrated and loses its elasticity, sags. In addition, wrinkles can also form for other reasons that are not related to age-related physiology:
- Saddle, wrong position of the body, violation of posture.
- Sharp weight gain or loss, weight loss.
- The habit of sleeping lying on the stomach.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Endocrine diseases.
There are also quite objective factors affecting the appearance of early wrinkles on the neck, among them doctors note the following:
- The property of the skin of the neck is easy to move relative to muscles and tissues.
- Increased mobility, the volume of movements of the cervical vertebrae, which are labile in relation to each other, which has not only a positive effect (the ability to move and rotate the head), but also a negative effect on the skin of the neck.
- Anatomical feature of the blood flow in the neck, which is due to a good blood supply of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, larynx, esophagus, trachea, but insufficient blood flow to the skin.
- The presence of a specific subcutaneous muscle - platisma, which is not attached to the skin, but is able to drive it due to a thin layer of striated muscle (mimic muscles). Рlatisma quickly grows old and provokes loss of turgor, elasticity of the skin adjoining to it.
