How to Treat Signs of Aging on the Neck & Décolleté

Often, the neck and décolleté (and even the hands!) give our age away sooner than our face does, due to the thinness of the skin and neglect over time. The simplest way to prevent signs of aging on your neck and décolleté is to treat them the same way you treat the skin on your face. That’s why we offer neck and décolleté treatments such as SkinPen® microneedling and more at SkinReMEDI by Natural Body in Atlanta (Morningside) and Alpharetta, GA.

Read on to learn more about our favorite treatments for rejuvenating the neck and chest for a healthy, younger-looking appearance that lasts.

SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen microneedling is one of our most popular treatments to reverse the signs of aging in these areas of the body. Did you know we produce 1% less collagen every year after age 20, according to Scientific American? That's the protein responsible for keeping our skin thick, elastic, and young-looking, so, naturally, the loss of it leads to crepiness and wrinkles. (Learn more about the science behind aging in our recent blog post, “Here Are All the Ways Your Skin Changes Over the Years.”)

Just one SkinPen microneedling treatment stimulates the reproduction of collagen lost in an entire year. Backed by an unparalleled commitment to safety and efficacy, SkinPen is an FDA-cleared device used by leading healthcare providers and individually customized to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out.

IPL Photofacial

IPL stands for “intense pulsed light,” and that’s exactly how the treatment works. Intense pulses of light deliver energy that the blood vessels and excess pigments in the skin absorb. This breaks them down and removes them from the skin’s surface, leaving behind a clearer and more even complexion.

We love using IPL on the neck and décolleté to treat sun spots, freckles, and other signs of sun damage that can be so common in these areas.

Chemical Peels

There's no better way to peel away damage and imperfections than a chemical peel. We offer a range of SkinMedica® peels designed to exfoliate the skin and lift away fine lines, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and more. We’re happy to recommend the perfect peel for you based on your unique skin concerns and goals.

At-Home Skincare

It's important to implement the right skincare products to heal and protect these areas post-treatment. Some of our top-selling skincare products to treat the neck, décolleté, and hands can be found and ordered straight to your door at our online skincare shop.

When in doubt, the easiest ways to protect the skin from signs of aging are scheduling regular treatments with a licensed provider and creating an effective at-home skincare routine. Your routine should consist of a cleanser, treatment, moisturizer, and, most importantly, sun protection with SPF 30 or higher.
