Décolletage (upper chest area)
Overview:
The skin on the décolletage (chest area) produces less oil than the skin on the face, making it more delicate and prone to damage. It also receives a high amount of sun exposure, as we forget to apply SPF protection on areas other than the face, and is therefore one of the first areas on the body to show the premature signs of ageing. There are several treatments that can maintain the youthful look to the skin on your décolletage, including IPL or laser skin rejuvenation for sun spots and hyperpigmented areas, fractional radiofrequency for fine lines and wrinkles, as well as LED light therapy, extended microdermabrasion and skin peels for various cosmetic concerns. Another great treatment option is injectable skin boosters, which can immediately increase hydration and reduce lines on the décolletage, often referred to as “sleep wrinkles”.
