Don’t neglect your neck! Did you know that your skin is the body’s largest organ? Knowing this, it's so important to direct skincare and clinical treatments to more than just your face. Think of your neck as a literal extension of your face—generally speaking, you should extend your facial treatments down to your neck.
Your neck tends to age faster than your face because the skin is thinner. That means the natural loss of collagen and elastin can lead to sagging, loose skin (laxity), and wrinkle formation much quicker. We often hear the buzz phrase: if you want to know someone's real age, look at their neck! At PHI, we offer the best anti-aging treatments in Calgary, and yes, that includes your neck. As a premier medical aesthetics clinic, we're always updating our treatments with the best clinical options on the market.
The treatment protocol for the neck and décolletage is the same as it is for the face—the goals are to protect, prevent, renew, and restore.
We offer four primary treatments to restore and maintain the youthful, smooth appearance of your neck:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP uses your body's natural platelets to improve skin texture and tone. It's highly effective for addressing crepey skin and promoting overall tissue renewal on the neck and décolletage.
Collagen Biostimulators: Treatments that stimulate your body’s own collagen production help restore underlying structural support. It's an ideal solution for improving laxity and firming up sagging neck tissue over time.
Hyaluronic Acid Skin Hydration: Using specialized hyaluronic acid designed for deep internal moisture, this approach improves elasticity and smoothness. It actively softens horizontal neck lines while delivering a healthy, hydrated glow.
Neuromodulators: Precise placements of neuromodulators (wrinkle relaxers) help soften prominent vertical neck bands and reduce the depth of horizontal lines by gently relaxing the targeted neck muscles.
We always preach that good skincare is the envelope of what we do, so remember to use high-quality, medical-grade skincare on your neck as well. ZO Skin Health’s Firming Serum with a beautiful sunscreen on top is a perfect place to start.
