Did you know that often it’s the neck, not the face, that gives away one’s actual age? The skin of the neck is thin, does not have a significant layer of fat and therefore loses elasticity quite quickly. Yet many do not have a daily beauty routine dedicated to this body area. Even though all the beauty procedures we perform on the face should also be applied to the neck and décolleté, we must admit that whilst the skin of the face is taken care of much more carefully, the neck and décolleté are often forgotten.
Two horizontal folds formed in the neck area are often called folds of Venus. We usually notice them in younger women who have not yet celebrated their thirties. This is especially true for those whose mothers or grandmothers had these wrinkles at a young age.
Causes of neck wrinkles:
- inappropriate or insufficient skin care;
- irregular posture, hunching;
- the habit of sitting with the head down (for example, looking at the phone or tablet);
- hormonal imbalance;
- lack of moisture;
- excessive weight;
- genetics;
- age.
Cosmetics and attentive skin care can certainly enhance the beauty of the neck, but these are more so preventative measures. However, neck wrinkles can be reduced, sometimes even eliminated, by filling the neck wrinkles with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid fills Venus’ wrinkles, and the skin becomes smooth and moisturised.
What is hyaluronic acid and its fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance present in every human body. It gives structure to the tissues, which affects the optimal functioning of the biological systems of the human body.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are sterile and contain stabilised hyaluronic acids. The filler is intended for injections into different layers of the skin, making it perfect for neck folds. Many aesthetic procedures are performed using hyaluronic acid fillers. They are fast, simple, effective and safe. Currently, there are no other fillers that match hyaluronic acid fillers in terms of their properties and benefits.
Hyaluronic acid injections help to:
- reduce the visibility of neck wrinkles;
- provide moisture and purity to the skin;
- maintain elasticity;
- shape and/or restore facial contours;
- increase and correct the shape of the lips, prevent their ageing.
Hyaluronic acid filler injections are one of the most effective methods for visible reduction of neck wrinkles.
What is unique about filling neck wrinkles with hyaluronic acid filler at the Primum Estetica clinic?
At the Primum Estetica, before neck wrinkles are filled with hyaluronic acid, the doctor carefully assesses the facial area and type of wrinkles, analyses the skin condition, considers the client’s expectations, and discusses the result. After the initial assessment, the procedure is done with the highest quality, best concentration hyaluronic acid fillers that:
- fill neck folds;
- intensively moisturise the skin of the neck;
- preserve the elasticity of the skin of the neck;
- eliminate tissue defects.
How is the filling of neck folds performed with hyaluronic acid filler?
Before the procedure, the neck is gently cleaned and an anaesthetic cream is applied so that you do not feel pain during the procedure. After anaesthesia, a small amount of hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the neck with an extremely thin needle. After assessing the patient’s skin condition and expectations, the doctor decides how many injections will be performed.
Before the procedure, please inform the doctor if you are allergic to lidocaine or other active substances for pain relief.
How long does it take to fill neck wrinkles with hyaluronic acid filler?
At Primum Estetica, the procedure usually takes 30 – 45 minutes and is performed in a designated procedure room.
Do I need to prepare for the procedure if I want to have neck wrinkles filled with hyaluronic acid filler?
Special preparation is not required; however, if you have papillomas, keratomas, warts or other benign skin formations on your neck that grow and stick out, it is recommended to remove them and only then perform the filling of the Venus folds with hyaluronic acid.
If I have hyaluronic acid fillers in my neck, what kind of care will I need after the procedure?
After the procedure, a healing cream should be applied to the injection sites and the skin of the neck. The doctor who performed the procedure will recommend the cream individually.
After the procedure, it is usually recommended to:
- avoid using a sauna for 24 hours;
- avoid contact with water for 24 hours;
- avoid cosmetic and massage procedures for 24 hours;
- avoid using normal cosmetics and make-up products for 24 hours;
- avoid direct sunlight for 2 weeks; always apply a protective cream with SPF 30+ or more;
- take regular and proper care of the skin of the neck.
The hyaluronic acid neck fillers are generally well tolerated by patients, making it possible to return to normal daily activities immediately after the procedure.
How long does it take to see the effect after filling neck wrinkles with hyaluronic acid filler?
The effect is visible immediately after the procedure, with the final result – after two weeks. How long the impact will be visible depends on age, lifestyle, skin type, etc. Usually, the result lasts about 8 – 12 months. During this time, the body naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid.
For the result to be pleasing and the neck wrinkles to be less visible, careful and proper care of the neck’s skin is recommended, which can be discussed with the doctor performing the procedure. We recommend repeating this procedure periodically. If you decide not to, the neck will return to its former appearance.
At Primum Estetica, the neck wrinkle hyaluronic acid filler procedure is conducted by an experienced dermatovenerologist Agne Bartkeviciute.
We guarantee confidentiality, one of the most essential components of the trusting relationship we create between the patient and the clinic specialist.
