Do you feel that when taking photos, the neck lines on your neck are especially grabbing the mirror? Beauty and skin grinding not only need to grind the face but also the neck?
There are also friends who have faces in their 20s but necks in their 40s. It is cruel to think about it…
Most people pay attention to facial maintenance, but ignore the woman’s second face, the neck.
First, why do neck lines grow?
1. Aging
Neck lines are one of the common wrinkles, and their generation naturally cannot be separated from skin aging.
With the increase of age, the elastic fibers, collagen fibers and other connective tissues and subcutaneous tissues in the dermis gradually decrease, and the metabolism speed of the whole skin slows down. As a result, collagen cannot make ends meet and elasticity decreases, resulting in wrinkles.
In addition, photoaging factors cannot be ignored-skin tissue structure changes due to ultraviolet radiation.
If the neck skin is not well protected from the sun, problems such as skin relaxation, roughness and wrinkles will occur.
Step 2 Dry
In terms of skin physiological structure, sebaceous glands and sweat glands in the neck secrete less than skin in other parts.
Therefore, neck skin is easier to dry and produce fine lines than facial skin.
3. Position, movement
Keeping hunchback posture for a long time will not only cause wrinkles on the neck, but also cause trapezius muscle to become larger and temperament to collapse by more than half in an instant.
For people who like to play with their heads bowed for a long time, their neck skin has been drooping and piling up, and wrinkles will appear in the long run.
Sleeping on your stomach or on a high pillow will also lead to neck lines if your muscles are in a state of tension for a long time.
Frequent nodding, turning head, turning back and other actions are all a kind of pulling for neck muscles, which will also lead to the appearance of neck lines.
Second, how to remove neck lines?
When it comes to removing neck lines, many people think of [neck line cream] at the first time. So, is the neck line cream on the market really useful?
The main components of these neck creams are basically some moisturizing and anti-inflammatory components, such as soluble collagen, asiaticoside, aloe, glycerin, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, plant extract, etc.
They have little effect on removing neck lines.
Ingredients that can really resist aging and reduce wrinkles, such as retinol/retinol (retinol/retinol), have not been added to neck cream.
It is better to directly apply cream/essence containing anti-aging ingredients (such as retinool/retinoaldehyde or nicotinamide, etc.) to the neck without buying a [neck cream] specially.
On the other hand, in order to effectively remove neck lines, we still have to rely on medical and aesthetic means.
1. Photoelectric equipment
Clinically, different types of photoelectric equipment are widely used in skin wrinkle removal, such as radio frequency, ultrasonic scalpel and dot matrix laser.
Radio frequency:
Radio frequency equipment is the main force in skin relaxation treatment, such as thermage, thermal latti, deep blue radio frequency, etc.
Through the action of heat energy on dermis tissue and subcutaneous tissue, after reaching a certain temperature, dermis collagen fibers will shrink and degenerate immediately, and secondary continuous collagen regeneration and remodeling will occur. At the same time, tissue metabolism will be enhanced, the thickness and density of dermis layer will be increased, and the purpose of wrinkle removal will be achieved.
If it is deep blue radio frequency, it usually takes 12 times for a course of treatment, with an interval of about 2-4 weeks. However, hot Maggie recommends once a year.
Although these treatments are non-invasive and basically painless, the cost is relatively high, and the general price is about 20,000 yuan/year. It is suitable for people with neck striations caused by neck fat accumulation and has good effect on improving mandibular margin contour.
Ultrasonic scalpel:
Focused ultrasound, such as the ultrasonic scalpel, is based on the principle that heat energy is generated by ultrasonic wave, which can focus on subcutaneous tissue, lead to local thermal damage, stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen, form strong collagen remodeling effect and lasting clinical effect, and achieve the purpose of repairing wrinkles.
Ultrasonic scalpel is more expensive, about 30,000 to 50,000, and the high-end charges in some areas are 60,000 to 70,000 per time. However, ultrasonic scalpel has not been approved by CFDA in China at present, and domestic treatment must be cautious.
Moreover, the doctor’s technique and experience are also very important, otherwise the effect is not satisfactory and complications will occur instead.
Lattice laser:
Another treatment is dot matrix laser, because dot matrix laser can stimulate collagen remodeling and proliferation of dermis, thus improving our neck lines, but the risk is easy pigmentation after surgery. Suitable for people with fair skin (Fitzpatrick skin photoreaction type I-II).
People with yellow and black skin color (Fitzpatrick skin light reaction type IV-VI), people who are allergic to anesthetic, and people with poor wound healing ability are not recommended.
Generally, it is once every 3 ~ 4 months, 1 ~ 3 times in the early stage and once a year in the late stage. The cost is about 2,000 yuan/time.
2. Injection filling technology
For the already formed and obvious cervical striations, injection method can generally be used for treatment. This is also the first-line treatment method for the treatment of cervical transverse striations.
Injection [hi]:
Among them, hyaluronic acid composite solution for injection is the most widely used (i.e. [Hi], which is also the only CFDA-certified and approved intradermal injection material).
The method is simple to operate, and the treatment can be started after external application of anesthetic for half an hour to one hour, so that the beauty seeker has no obvious pain, and wrinkles are eliminated immediately after injection.
The disadvantage is that there may be transient pi Qiu or bruise reaction after injection, which can generally recover within several hours to several days. Generally, 3 times are a course of treatment, with an interval of 4-8 weeks each time, and the interval should not be too long.
Generally, treatment is the purpose in the early stage and maintenance is the purpose in the late stage. Maintenance can be done 1-2 times a year. The most commonly used brand: Hi-Ti; Prices range from 2,500 to 3,000 yuan per time.
Injection of botulinum toxin:
For the neck with less fat and the neck lines caused by strong neck muscle strength, botulinum toxin injection can be selected.
The therapeutic principle of botulinum toxin is that it can act on peripheral motor nerve endings and neuromuscular junctions to inhibit the release of acetylcholine from presynaptic membrane, thus causing muscle relaxation paralysis.
In the treatment of cervical striation, it relaxes platysma muscle to reduce cervical striation. Botulinum toxin injection is usually used to treat cervical striation with body injection in combination to play a better synergistic role. The price ranges from 5,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan per time.
3. Catgut embedding and pulling
It uses PDO wires containing collagen to be implanted into the deep layer of skin, and achieves the effects of tightening neck skin and fading texture by continuously stimulating collagen regeneration, promoting metabolism, renewing aged skin, promoting the growth of collagen and fibroblasts in dermis layer.
The buried thread will degrade in the human body in 190 ~ 240 days, so the maintenance time after treatment is about 1 year, and then needs to be supplemented. The single price ranges from 6,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.
Three, how can you do to avoid the deepening of neck lines?
No matter our facial skin, neck skin or body skin, we need to do a good job of daily maintenance.
This can not only slow down the generation speed of wrinkles, but also reduce the deepening of wrinkles.
1. Reasonable skin care, moisturizing and sun protection.
When carrying out facial moisturizing care, you should also remember to wear a delicate neck.
Sunscreen is also essential. Sunscreen should be applied not only to the face, but also to the neck, chest, back of hand and other light-exposed parts. It is best to add physical sun protection methods, such as wearing a hat and holding an umbrella.
2. Massage the neck properly, but do not choose moisturizing products with alcohol, acids and other stimulating ingredients.
3. Do not spray perfume directly on the neck skin, because perfume contains alcohol, which will have certain irritation to the skin;
4. Pay attention to posture and posture at ordinary times, do not hunch over your shoulders, do not be a low-head race, use pillows with appropriate height, and do not fall asleep on your stomach.
5. Weight control, reasonable diet, can properly carry out yoga exercises, not only can exercise and relieve neck muscles, but also can help correct posture.
In fact, the principle of wrinkle treatment in other parts of the face is similar to that in neck wrinkle treatment. Of course, there will be some differences in the preferred treatment methods for wrinkles in different parts.
On the whole, there are three main methods to remove wrinkles. The first is local injection, including botulinum toxin injection and sodium hyaluronate injection. The second photoelectric means include radio frequency, lattice laser, etc. The third operation includes line carving or other rhytidectomy.
