LIFTING & TIGHTENING

As we age, the skin on the face, neck, and décolletage can naturally change in texture, elasticity and appearance. Some people may notice sagging, fine lines, wrinkles, or differences in skin tone. Common observations include the appearance of vertical bands on the neck, variations in skin firmness and stretch marks.

COMMON CONCERNS 

• Changes in skin firmness or elasticity
• Appearance of the neck and jawline
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Stretch marks or skin texture variations
• Natural signs of ageing in the face, neck, and décolletage

 POSSIBLE CAUSES 

Sagging skin: Skin elasticity naturally decreases with age, which can affect the firmness of the face, neck, and décolletage. Environmental factors such as sun exposure and lifestyle habits can also influence skin appearance over time. The skin on the neck and chest is thinner than facial skin and may show visible changes sooner.

Poikiloderma: Some individuals may notice areas of uneven skin tone or texture on the neck and chest. This can be influenced by cumulative sun exposure and natural changes in skin structure.

Neck lines and bands: The neck may develop visible lines or bands due to natural changes in underlying muscles and skin elasticity as we age. This is due to a muscle called the platysma becoming more prominent, resulting in vertical band formation.

Stretch marks: Stretch marks can appear when the skin stretches rapidly, such as during growth spurts, weight changes or pregnancy. They often present as lines or streaks on the skin and differ from cellulite, which creates a dimpled appearance.
