Ageing Décolletage
The décolletage is a part of the body that ages quickly. Sun-exposure and skin creasing during sleep result in pigmentation, skin thinning and wrinkles. There are a number of treatment options that are well-suited to rejuvenating the Ageing Décolletage to make it smoother, tighter and brighter.
Treatment Options
Biorevitalisation is the injection of light hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants under the skin surface to rehydrate, brighten and smooth the skin. When treating the décolletage, small droplets of biorevitalisation liquid are injected across the décolletage. These droplets gradually diffuse throughout the upper layers of the skin, plumping the creases, delivering nutrients to the cells and improving skin microcirculation. For optimal results, we recommend a course of 2-4 treatments (1 per month).
Biostimulation involves the use of external stimuli to harness the body’s own regenerative capabilities to promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and promote overall rejuvenation. By activating cellular mechanisms, biostimulation can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and thicken and hydrate the skin. At Drs Tatiana + Rishi Advanced Aesthetics we use biostimulators including Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP), those that contain poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), e.g. Sculptra and those containing polynucleotides.
CO2 laser skin rejuvenation is a powerful treatment. The laser is used to heat the skin and cause tiny pin-point burns. The skin responds to the treatment by rapidly repairing and remodelling. This creates new collagen, elastin and hydrators within the skin across the décolletage, producing excellent results.
Morpheus 8 is a device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency heat energy to smooth and firm the skin. As the small needles enter the skin, the tips of the needles heat up with radiofrequency energy. This sends controlled heat energy into the upper layers of the skin and stimulates collagen production, thus tightening, firming and smoothing the skin over several months after the treatment. Morpheus 8 is safe for any skin type and can be used alongside other treatments such as dermal fillers.
SecretRF is an evolution of microneedling with radiofrequency. This device works by precisely inserting small needles into the skin (at gradations of 0.1mm), creating microchannels, with the subsequent delivery of radiofrequency heat energy to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This makes the skin more plump, hydrated and tight. The motor mechanism of the SecretRF is extremely smooth and it’s needles particularly precise and well-insulated, resulting in minimal downtime and being suitable for all skin types.
This dynamic, non-ablative treatment, pairs RF microneedling with an erbium glass laser. The RF microneedles deliver heat to the deeper layers of the skin via precise needles, whilst the laser gently delivers powerful beams to the skin in microcolumns, creating bulk heating. This works to effectively target common signs of ageing and skin concerns in any skin type, with almost no downtime and an instant glass-like glow to the skin.
Exosomes are a topical gel applied to skin following microneedling, SecretRF, or CO2 laser treatments. The gel is made from billions of exosomes, micro-vesicles that contain thousands of growth factors, cytokines and nutrients that help to boost collagen, elastin and natural hydration. Exosomes work to regenerate skin cells, reduce inflammation and pigmentation, improve immune function and accelerate skin healing.
Polynucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA – nucleic acids that give the instructions for cell function, regeneration and gene expression. As polynucleotides are broken down in our body, they promote DNA synthesis, increase cell regeneration and the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in tighter and fuller skin.
Unlike traditional lasers, which use nanosecond pulses, picosecond lasers deliver laser energy in extremely short picosecond pulses. This ultra-short pulse duration allows precise targeting of pigment particles with a photo-acoustic effect, working to shatter pigment particles with minimal heat and damage to the surrounding skin. An added benefit of picosecond lasers is that they generate collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid due to their photo-acoustic effect, thereby working to improve fine lines and skin plumpness.
At Drs Tatiana + Rishi Advanced Aesthetics, we use the gold standard vascular laser, ExcelV+ to improve redness, fine lines and skin plumpness in the decolletage region. This laser works in 3 modes: LaserGenesis for gentle reduction of redness, rosacea, acne, melasma, fine lines, scars, and wrinkles; CoolView for targeted vessel treatment; and DermaStat for small thread vein treatment.
