With the increasing popularity of anti-aging knowledge, more and more people are becoming concerned about maintenance. We often take precautions against the appearance of wrinkles on the face, but often turn a blind eye to the appearance of neck lines. If the delicate and beautiful features are the beauty bearer, the tender and firm neck is undoubtedly the youth bearer. The most exposed age in this photo is really the neck. According to statistics, neck lines can appear in people of any age, and there is a clear trend of lowering the age. So, what makes the neck also grow wrinkles? To sum up, the main reasons for the formation of neck lines are the following: 1, congenital neck skin relaxation or fat accumulation Even the naturally beautiful Fan also said in the program that she was born with obvious neck lines. In addition, some people will also be due to genetics, obesity and other factors, resulting in subcutaneous fat accumulation, in the middle of a circle of flesh, of course, there will be lines. 2, the passage of time, aging caused by this is the most important reason for the appearance of neck lines. The skin will age due to sun, dryness, friction and other factors, resulting in mild horizontal neck lines; the loss of collagen and elastin in the dermis will naturally produce depressions and aggravate the performance of neck lines. 3, the neck long-term forced body position caused by skin folding This is the most common and best understood but also the most easily ignored cause. Believe me, if you’re not a low person when you play with your phone but hold your chest and head up, you’ll be much younger. The neck is not “relatively fixed” by bones and ligaments like the face, the subcutaneous fat layer is thin and the gap is small, and the irreversible loss of subcutaneous tissue during the aging process makes it extremely difficult to treat. The various “creams” and “health exercises” widely circulated on Weibo to remove neck lines can only play a very limited role in prevention and improvement. To be honest, from a medical point of view, it is much more difficult to improve neck lines than facial wrinkles. The main method of treatment for neck lines is local lifting, braking and filling by different means. Local lift — Ultrasound knife treatment Through high-intensity focused ultrasound non-invasive to penetrate the skin surface, heat directly to the subcutaneous SMAS fascia, can effectively stimulate the treatment level of fiber contraction and collagen increase, suitable for mild neck skin laxity, sagging and early neck line prevention treatment. For severe neck lines, the effect is limited. Sagging and pronounced neck lines require the help of a facelift to remove excess skin in order to reshape the tightness of the neck. Local Braking – Botox Treatment Multiple injections of micro Botox have been proven to be an effective treatment for neck lines by blocking the action of the motor nerve on the broad cervical muscle as well as the subcutaneous muscle fibers, and is the best solution for dynamic neck wrinkles and to prevent and reduce the development of static wrinkles. The broad cervical muscle is not only in the neck, but its coverage covers upward to the jaw and corners of the mouth. Braking the broad cervical muscle will not only reduce the production of neck lines, but also reduce the downward pull on the face. In other words, with Botox injections in the neck, the face can be lifted upward and the jawline will become clear. Notice in the picture before and after the treatment, the reduction of neck lines and the change in the jawline edge Filler – Hyaluronic Acid When the wrinkles in the neck develop from dynamic to static wrinkles, the strategy of treatment has to be changed. Filling the neckline depressions with bright hyaluronic acid directly into the subcutaneous collagen loss is theoretically the ideal neckline treatment. It directly replenishes the volume of the subcutaneous tissue, and because hyaluronic acid itself is a component of the skin, it has a strong water absorption capacity and can also play a role in improving skin texture. However, the disadvantage of non-permanent hyaluronic acid fillers is that they need to be refilled periodically, resulting in high treatment costs as well as poor comfort. Filler – Fat Grafting Fat grafting works on the same principle as hyaluronic acid above, and is permanent when it survives. There is a lot of data to show that fat fillers can provide some improvement in skin quality. However, traditional autologous fat transfer, with large fat particles, is difficult to inject into the dermis through fine needles, making it difficult to perform fine filling operations on areas such as fine lines around the eyes and neck lines. The advent of Nanofat hints at the possibility of fine fat injection, but it has no volume retention. For dermal filling, it has to be said that autologous fat stem cell gel (SVF-gel) is the best choice, which can be precisely injected into the dermis by fine needles and has very good results for static wrinkles around the eyes and neck lines. This is one of our neckline treatment cases, you can see a slight redness and swelling immediately after the procedure, which will subside in about 1 week, and the neckline will be completely improved in 3 months after the procedure. It is best to combine the fat stem cell gel transplantation with Botox injections to improve the survival rate of the fat as well as to improve the dynamic wrinkles caused by the neck muscle movement to get a 1+1>2 effect.
