Swan neck - an artificial correction or the result of proper care?

Most often, in pursuit of the beauty of the skin of the face, the fair sex is completely forgotten about caring for another part of the body - the neck. Meanwhile, the neck, like a person, is eventually ready to betray the secret of the age of its possessor treacherously, and for a long time it will not be possible to hide it behind a shoe of loose hair or blouses with a high collar. No wonder there is a saying: "Do you want to know how old a woman is? Look at her neck."


The problem of rapid aging of the skin below the chin lies in the fact that it is in this zone that it is the most delicate and exposed to the influence of external and internal factors, which means that there it requires more attention and concern.

And yet, the swan neck is the result of artificial correction or proper care?

To answer this question is unequivocally difficult, because science is not in place and achievements in the field of cosmetology are so far developed that at times women are not concerned with the issue of preserving beauty by resorting to laser rejuvenation, surgical contour plasty or lifting using Botox injections.

Pros and cons of artificial creation of the "swan" neck effect

Surgical contour plastic (platysmoplasty) is nothing more than the banal removal of excess skin and wrinkles through a skewer, in skillful hands. As a result, the flabbiness of the neck is replaced by the contours of the cervico-chin zone and from the "turkey neck" it is transformed into such a desired "swan". Contraindications for this methodic, starting from general problems - blood coagulability and ending with the presence of trauma in the neck. Of course, contour plastic is also non-deficient, the main of which is, of course, the cost, as well as a short-term result if it is impossible to correct it annually.

Laser rejuvenation is suitable not only for the skin of the neck and the zone of the decollete, but even for tightening of tender areas such as the eyelids. The advantages of the procedure are: painlessness, lack of a long-term rehabilitation period, individuality and short duration of the course, absence of age limitations and side effects. It would seem that pritakom set of merits in laser rejuvenation simply should not be flawed, but alas, one of the main, as in the first case, is the price, but additional can be attributed to the presence of a larger list of contraindications, including medical, as well as noticeable dryness and flaking skin at the end of the course. Naturally, it is necessary to repeat such procedures as often as possible, otherwise, as in the first case, money spent for laser rejuvenation will be wasted.

Lifting (tightening the contour) with the help of injections of Botox - a preparation based on natural protein. This is the most popular procedure offered in clinics and medical centers. The secret to the success of this drug is the rapid correction of wrinkles, which occurs after several injections with small doses. The mechanism of action is the relaxation of the overactive muscles and the restoration of the skin, but as such, it does not give rise or reverse the aging. To the minuses of the procedure, one can immediately attribute the extreme morbidity of the procedure, especially it will be too sensitive for those women who have a low threshold. Another of its drawbacks is the inability to completely eliminate deep wrinkles. Consequently, for women with deep ring neck seams, this procedure will be useless, since its effect will have a temporary effect (no more than 6 months) and it only slightly level the skin of the problem zone.

However, beyond any doubt, the result of artificial correction of the hernia is individual and always closely related to the anatomical features of the body of the patient.

If you return to the issue of proper care of the neck, then it should be noted that it effectively improves the tone of the skin of the mask, compresses, massages, physical activities (special exercises and gymnastics), contrasting or dousing with cold water.

In the summer, in no case should not neglect a sunscreen or lotion, so the neck skin will not dry out and irritate due to possible sunburn.

Additional physiotherapy procedures, for example, such as: the course of the D'Arsonval electromassage, ultrasound, hydrotherapy or the use of a special paraffin mask-dressing will be superfluous.

Thus, to achieve the effect of the "swan neck" can be any of the above methods, as they are all reasonably effective, but it is worth considering whether to spend on this part of the body a whole state or zhesrazu start to properly take care of it. It is also worth remembering that it is better to work on preventing the appearance of wrinkles and flabbiness of the neck in youth, but more mature age, of course, it is worth to turn to specialists who can choose an individual program for restoring the tone of the fading skin.
