The aging process of the decollete area is a combination of biological changes and external factors that affect the skin. The skin in the cleavage is thinner and more delicate compared to the rest of the body. It has fewer oil glands, elastin fibers, and collagen compared to other areas. This makes it more prone to aging.

With age, the production of collagen and elastin gradually decreases. This results in reduced firmness and elasticity and leads to sagging and wrinkles.

Continuous movement, sleep position, loss of moisture can cause wrinkles, fine lines, and sleep lines. Sleep lines are wrinkles and creases that form due to folding of the skin during sleep. They may be worse if you sleep on your sides or stomach. The thinner and dry skin make these sleep lines more noticeable.

Tanning also contributes to skin aging. UV radiation from the sun causes photodamage, collagen degradation, increased elastin breakdown, and the formation of free radicals. This results in premature aging such as pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities.

 

How can you prevent aging of your decollette?

• Skincare products with antioxidants (like vitamin C) and peptides can support collagen production, hydrate the skin, and reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
• Avoid tanning and smoking
• Try sleeping on your back or using a special pillow or a bra that minimises pressure on the breasts and chest.
• If sleep lines have already developed on the cleavage area, non invasive treatments such as RF microneedling, dermal filler or skin boosters improve their look.

 

How collagen and elastin loss impacts your decollete?

Collagen is a protein that gives structural support to the skin. Over time, collagen production decreases, and results in a loss of elasticity and firmness. Elastin is another protein responsible for skin elasticity. Its gradual breakdown with age leads to sagging and wrinkles.

As we age, the production of collagen and elastin slows down (from the age of 25). Tanning damages collagen and elastin fibers. Pollutants and smoking, bad diet and alcohol also contribute to collagen and elastin degradation.

• Skincare containing retinol, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants can help prevent and improve skin thickness and look.
• Mesotherapy and skin boosters, deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen production. These treatments can help improve skin thickness and texture.
• Chemical peels exfoliate the skin layers and stimulate collagen. This improves skin thickness and promotes younger looking skin.
• RF needling, also known as radiofrequency microneedling, is a treatment that can tighten the skin on the cleavage area. This procedure combines the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency, to stimulate collagen and promote skin tightening and body’s natural healing response. Radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin, and generates controlled heat. RF needling is a safe and effective treatment that can improve the texture, firmness, and overall look of the skin in cleavage area.

Preventative treatments like mesotherapy, skin boosters, and chemical peels can help support collagen production, hydration, and skin thickness. Prevention from the age of 30 is the best approach.
