What to do against a sagging neck

Skin aging, unfortunately, we cannot stop, no matter how much we would like to. As a result, our skin begins to sag, lines become more visible and contours diminish. Nowadays, sagging necklines bother more and more people. But what exactly can you do about it? We tell you!

Aging skin in the neck

The neck, unfortunately, is often skipped in the day and night skincare routine. If you condition only the skin of the face properly, you will eventually see that the skin of the neck falls further and further behind it. After about age 25, the amount of collagen and the first fine lines and wrinkles may appear. If there is no longer a proper balance between the production and breakdown of collagen, the skin starts to age and show signs of sagging. Also, the skin becomes thinner. As we age, the body’s own hyaluronic acid is also broken down. Collagen and hyaluronic acid instead provide firmness and volume to the skin. The neck reveals your true age….

This is how you care for your neck:

Start every morning with an antioxidant

An antioxidant ensures that damage to healthy skin cells is prevented, allowing skin aging to slow down. It protects your skin from UV radiation, air pollution, ozone and visible light from computer screens, such as cell phones and tablets. Examples of antioxidants are the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic, Serum 10, Phloretin CF and Dermaceutic C25 serum.

1. Hydration both day and night

Because hyaluronic acid is broken down, it is important to keep the skin well hydrated. If you do not have dehydrated skin, chances are the skin barrier is not in tact. As a result, outside influences have a greater chance of entering the skin. Apply a rich cream, such as the SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 or A.G.E. Interrupter.

2. Exfoliate

Exfoliating the neck? Yes, you can also regularly exfoliate the neck If so, use a glycolic acid-based exfoliant. Glycolic acid stimulates cell division in the skin, causing superficial dead skin cells, as well as superficial pigmentation spots are reduced. The skin becomes fresher and is able to better absorb products applied afterwards. Examples include the Dermaceutic Foamer 5, Foamer 15 and SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal Cleanser.

3. Retinol in the winter months

Does the skin need an extra push? Then a retinol is great to use, especially in winter. Retinol causes the collagen to be stimulated. Especially for the neck, there is now the SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair.

The intensive management of neck laxity:

Microneedling (RF), peelings and the Confidence Booster GLOW

We have been working for many years with microneedling, because it is an effective way to renew the skin in depth. Wrinkles fade, as the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated. We also have microneedling in combination with radio waves that provides an even more beautiful result, because the intense heat additionally stimulates the collagen. Often we combine these treatment techniques with peelings. These peels are tailored to the skin condition and purpose of the treatment. The Confidence Booster GLOW combination treatments can be used not only for the face, but also for the neck! Do you suffer from some pigmentation spots? Then we also treat this with the IPL laser during this combination treatment.
