Hello, everyone.

Dr. Hime of BIANCA CLINIC, also known as Senki Akashi.

 

Did you know that winter, when you can cover your neck with scarves and high-neck tops, is the best season for neck care?

Today, we'll explain the causes of neck wrinkles by type. We'll discuss care methods tailored to horizontal wrinkles, vertical wrinkles, and crepe-like wrinkles.

 

 

Neck wrinkles can be broadly categorized into three types.

Even though we call them “neck wrinkles,” they actually form in completely different ways.

Broadly speaking, these three.

 

① Horizontal wrinkles

This type is common among people who spend long hours looking at their smartphones or frequently adopt a downward-facing posture.

Habits, posture, and weakening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle are among the causes.

These wrinkles tend to appear regardless of age.

 

② Vertical wrinkles

This is a wrinkle that appears as a line in the center of the neck due to the contraction of the platysma muscle with aging.

When the neck muscles appear strongly defined, it can sometimes give the appearance of sagging along the jawline.

 

③ Crepe wrinkles

As skin loses its firmness due to dryness and UV damage, fine wrinkles appear all over the neck.

This type requires moisturizing and skin regeneration as the key factors.

 

 

How do you care for neck wrinkles?

The approach to neck wrinkles varies depending on the type.

At Bianca Clinic, we approach care from three directions: enhancing firmness, aligning muscles, and boosting hydration.

 

TrifilPro

This treatment involves injecting a small amount of carbon dioxide gas into the dermis to plump up wrinkles from within.

Stimulates fibroblasts to promote a firm neckline.

It is oriented toward the deep horizontal wrinkles.

 

Bolaite (Hyaluronic Acid)

Bolaite is a hyaluronic acid variant specifically designed for superior moisturizing power.

Reduces the appearance of crepe lines caused by dryness in the neck area.

Skin feels more moisturized!

Vertical neck wrinkles are often caused by contraction of the platysma muscle, so Botox is used to relax the muscle's movement.

It's popular among those who are concerned about the appearance of veins on the back of their neck.

Don't forget to take care of yourself.

Since we often get asked, "What can I do before going to the clinic?", we've compiled some neck care tips you can do at home.

 

  • Skincare goes all the way down to your neck! Apply toner, lotion, and cream just like you would on your face.

  • Don't forget to apply sunscreen all the way up to your neck! UV rays deepen neck wrinkles.

  • Mind your posture! Don't look down too much; raise your phone.

  • Finish your moisturizing routine with night cream. Simply preventing dryness makes a big difference.

 

Let's start steadily from today!

 

 

Summary|Winter is the perfect time to start! Boost your impression with neck care

The neck area is surprisingly prone to showing your age.

But with consistent care, you can achieve a youthful appearance all the way down to your jawline. Since high-neck styles make it easy to conceal downtime this season, start your care routine now.

 

At Bianca Clinic, we offer customized neck care plans tailored to your skin's specific needs.

If you're thinking, "I really want to do something about these neck wrinkles," please feel free to come in for a consultation.
