The skin on the neck and décolleté is very different from that of the face: the dermis is thinner—so more delicate—and ages much faster than facial skin. It’s common to see people with youthful faces but with a neck that looks saggy and wrinkled.
The décolleté, being exposed to the sun, tends to suffer more, with thin skin that shows imperfections like visible capillaries or small and large brown spots.
The aging of the décolleté starts with widespread redness, similar to sunburn, which persists even in winter. Over time, larger capillaries become visible, and later, small, whitish atrophic areas without pigment appear due to free radical damage caused by UV exposure.
The importance of a beautiful décolleté
The décolleté is often displayed in low-cut evening dresses, highlighted with statement jewelry or trendy accessories. It’s a part of the body that contributes to the overall beauty and appearance of women.
Yet, many girls and women don’t realize that the sun affects the décolleté even while simply walking around in an open blouse or strappy dress. And so, many people who are careful to apply sunscreen on their face forget to use it on their décolleté. The result? The décolleté ages even faster.
How to care for your décolleté
Sun protection is key—and it needs to be, let’s say, obsessive!
For example, a woman goes out in the morning without applying any sunscreen on her décolleté because she thinks she won’t need it. Then, she unexpectedly gets invited to an outdoor lunch under the bright summer sun. A stylish straw hat or the shade of an umbrella won’t be enough—the décolleté will still be hit by the sun’s rays.
Always carry sunscreen
My first tip? Always carry a small bottle of high-protection sunscreen in your bag, ready for when you need it. Just a few drops can protect the delicate décolleté skin.
Lots of nourishing cream
The skin on the neck and décolleté needs more nourishing cream than the face. Always remember to apply your regular cream—WiQo’s Nourishing and Moisturizing Cream for Dry Skin is highly recommended—on your neck and décolleté as part of your daily beauty routine.
How to repair damage to the décolleté skin
What are the best treatments to combat aging in this delicate, exposed area?
One of the best options is intense pulsed light (IPL), which helps lighten the skin, removing small spots and capillaries.
For seriously damaged and wrinkled décolleté skin, especially in the sternum area, microfocused ultrasound (HiFu) treatments are very effective. These can even tighten the muscle layer, smoothing out wrinkles.
It’s important not to wait too long to start caring for your décolleté—don’t wait until damage is done. Start early and be consistent!
PRX-Therapy
For ongoing skin care and to fight aging, PRX-Therapy is ideal—not just for the face, but also for the neck and décolleté. This treatment will keep your skin vital and active! Ask your trusted aesthetic doctor about it today.
WiQo Booster
The décolleté is an exposed, delicate area, requiring extra care. WiQo Booster is exactly what it needs. A quick spritz after a shower, followed by WiQo’s Firming Elasticizing Cream, will maintain hydration, restore youthfulness, and help reverse sun damage, wrinkles, and sagging.
WiQo Booster has proven plumping effects, thanks to its blend of four different hyaluronic acids of varying molecular weights. This provides the skin with protection and hydration while stimulating new collagen production. Combined with peptides and acetylglucosamine, it promotes skin regeneration.
