Décolletage

Décolletage is the upper chest and lower neck (décolletage), in women.  The décolletage is an area that is often ignored in the rejuvenation process, but it can be treated easily and should be a part of any rejuvenation program.

Often, the most dramatic premature aging is expressed in fair-skinned individuals. A combination of factors are usually involved: loss of collagen and elasticity leading to lines and wrinkles; development of brown/age spots, broken blood vessels, and rough spots leading to uneven texture and pigmentation; and changes in the underlying muscles leading to bands in the neck.

Since so many changes are occurring, multiple treatment modalities are needed to completely rejuvenate this area. Luckily, there are many options that can be done with little or no downtime.

A modality for the loss of collagen and elasticity can be addressed with laser and can be far more cost effective. Newer treatments may have play a positive role, but they are currently expensive relative to their results.

Prevention of further damage is through any future sun protection.  Judicious use of sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher and topical preparations containing Antioxidant properties are helpful.
