You practice good skin care and guard against facial and neck wrinkles in your daily regimen. At some point, you might notice the skin on your decolletage area also succumbs to aging and sun damage, causing lines and wrinkles to form. Find out what products and procedures will plump up the skin on your chest, smooth lines and prevent future damage for a supple looking decolletage at any age.
Apply a wrinkle cream to your chest each day. Though creams won't necessarily remove wrinkles from your decollete area, look for products made with the active ingredients of alpha hydroxy, retinol, vitamin C, kinetin, copper peptides or coenzyme Q10 to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Try decollette pads for more intensive treatment. Apply these self-adhesive strips, typically used to heal scars, for one hour to help stimulate collagen along your neckline.
Try using Botox on deep wrinkles. While Botox is typically used for facial lines and wrinkles, it may help to lessen the appearance of wrinkles on your chest. The Cleveland Clinic asserts that Botox works by inhibiting the contractions of the muscles. Botox should be administered by a licensed professional by injection to provide a more youthful look that lasts anywhere between three and four months.
Consider soft tissue fillers. Soft tissue fillers fill in deeper lines and wrinkles by injecting collagen or fat under the skin. Much like Botox, it's often reserved for facial imperfections, but it should help to remove wrinkles from the decollete area. Select a doctor or dermatologist trained to do this procedure and expect the effects to last as long as six months.
Undergo skin resurfacing of the decollete area. Skin resurfacing is administered by a licensed professional through the processes of dermabrasion or chemical peel. Both treatments remove the top layer of the skin, either with a wire brush or chemical agent, respectively. When the skin is removed, new skin is able to form that is healthier and often containing less wrinkles, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Talk to your dermatologist about laser resurfacing. In this form of skin resurfacing, a laser is used to remove the epidermal layer of the chest as well as heat the dermal layer of the skin. This two-fold process not only provides healthier looking skin, but it also stimulates the production of both collagen and elastin. When collagen and elastin build under the skin, they work like soft tissue fillers, filling in deeper lines and wrinkles.
