Neck and Chest Rejuvenation - Treating the Forgotten Areas
You have invested in your face. Skincare, treatments, protection. Your face looks good for your age.
Then you glance down. The neck tells a different story. The chest is covered in sun damage and crepey texture. The disconnect between face and body is obvious.
The neck and décolletage age faster than faces. They are often neglected until the damage is pronounced. But they can be treated.
Why Neck and Chest Age Differently
The skin on your neck and chest is thinner than facial skin. It has fewer oil glands. It is often exposed to sun while being forgotten in skincare routines.
Years of sun exposure create pigmentation, rough texture, and broken capillaries on the chest.
The neck develops horizontal lines from repeated movement, vertical bands from muscle activity, and general skin laxity as collagen depletes.
Most people apply sunscreen and skincare to their face, then stop at the jawline. The neck and chest receive sun without protection and neglect without treatment.
By the time you notice, years of damage have accumulated.

PRP for Neck and Décolletage
PRP is well-suited to treating these delicate areas. It stimulates collagen production without harsh energy-based treatments that can be risky on thin skin.
Growth factors delivered by PRP improve skin thickness and firmness, reduce fine lines and crepey texture, enhance skin quality and radiance, and help even out pigmentation.
Results develop gradually as your skin regenerates itself. The treatment works with your biology rather than against it.
Combining PRP With Microneedling
For neck and chest rejuvenation, we typically combine PRP with microneedling. The combination produces superior results to either treatment alone.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels that allow PRP to penetrate effectively. It also triggers the wound healing response that stimulates collagen.
The neck and chest tolerate this well. Redness lasts one to two days. Downtime is minimal.
What Treatment Involves
Your consultation assesses your specific concerns. Some patients have primarily sun damage. Others have more laxity. Some have both. Treatment is tailored accordingly.
The procedure involves applying topical numbing cream (20 to 30 minutes), microneedling the treatment area, applying PRP throughout treatment, and additional PRP massage after needling.
Treatment of neck and chest together takes approximately 45 minutes to one hour.
A series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart produces optimal results. Maintenance treatments every six to twelve months sustain improvement.

Addressing Specific Concerns
Horizontal neck lines (necklace lines) can be improved with PRP stimulating collagen in the creased areas.
Crepey texture on chest responds well to collagen stimulation. Skin becomes firmer and smoother.
Sun spots and pigmentation improve as skin regenerates and cell turnover increases.
Vertical neck bands may need additional treatments like botulinum toxin for optimal results. We can advise on comprehensive approach.
The Importance of Maintenance
Unlike one-time treatments, skin rejuvenation benefits from ongoing care.
After completing your initial series, maintenance treatments every six to twelve months help sustain results. Your skin continues ageing; regular treatment slows the process.
Daily skincare should now include your neck and chest. Apply your serums, moisturisers, and especially sunscreen below the jawline.
Comparing Treatment Options
Laser treatments can effectively treat the chest and neck but carry higher risks on thin skin, particularly for pigmentation changes.
Chemical peels improve surface texture but have limited effect on collagen.
Radiofrequency treatments provide tightening but require multiple sessions and maintenance.
PRP with microneedling offers natural regeneration with low risk. Suitable for all skin types without pigmentation risk.
Many patients combine approaches. PRP provides foundational collagen stimulation while other treatments address specific concerns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the neck treatment painful? Topical numbing makes it comfortable. The neck is sensitive but tolerable.
How much downtime should I expect? One to two days of redness. Most patients return to normal activities the next day with makeup if desired.
Can you treat the chest if I have freckles? Yes. We treat around significant pigmentation and may recommend complementary treatments for sun spots.
Will this help a sagging neck? PRP improves skin quality and mild laxity. Significant sagging may need surgical consideration.
Should I treat face, neck, and chest together? Ideally yes. Treating only the face creates contrast. Comprehensive treatment produces harmonious results.
Do not let your neck and chest reveal what your face conceals.
