Treatments that Prevent Aging of the Décolletage and Neck

>> Discover the best treatments for the areas that reveal age and learn how to take advantage of them for your benefit.   In most cases, by the age of 40, the signs of skin aging start to become more evident, and to preserve a younger-looking image, it is not enough to have a wrinkle-free face; one must pay close attention to the aging of the décolletage and neck, as they reveal age. The good news is that there are now treatments that help maintain collagen reserves in these areas.   According to biomedical expert César de Alencar, polydioxanone suspension threads, known as PDO threads, are a great option for treating the décolletage and neck areas, as they promote a lifting effect and stimulate collagen.   Doctor Jordana Jantorno stated that these threads are made of biodegradable synthetic fiber and are completely absorbed by the body. In addition to stimulating collagen production, they restore skin tone.   The technique is minimally invasive, allowing the person to return to their normal routine quickly. It only requires specific care at the beginning. "Avoid touching, massaging, or handling the treatment area for 12 hours after the procedure. Be gentle when washing the area. Avoid physical exercise in the first few days. Other activities can be resumed immediately," she said.   Another treatment that has been winning the hearts of women is collagen biostimulators. César explains that a few days after the first application, the thickening of the skin in the area becomes noticeable, making it firmer. This happens because the substance applied stimulates the body to produce natural collagen.   "These substances are applied through very fine needles, causing minimal discomfort. The applications are done in the office, and the patient can return to normal activities right after the session," he said.   The results of collagen biostimulators come over time and are not immediate. The substance continues to act in the medium term, stimulating collagen production until it is absorbed by the body.   Jordana mentioned that the results of biostimulators are promising. They can last up to four years. However, the doctor recommends that an additional application be done annually to ensure the collagen bank.   The main collagen biostimulators recognized in the market are Sculptra, Radiesse, and Ellansé. The latter has a dual action; Ellansé is also a filler in addition to being a biostimulator.   To prevent aging, it is important to apply sunscreen to these areas from an early age, use good moisturizers, and drink plenty of water. Thus, aging will obviously happen, but it will occur later.
