Are you worried about wrinkles on your neck, even though your face looks fine? My face is fine, but the wrinkles on my neck really change my overall impression. Neck wrinkles, once they appear, deepen faster than facial wrinkles and are often more difficult to manage. I've been struggling with neck wrinkles myself, so I've been researching ways to get rid of them.

Today, I'll be explaining everything from the causes of neck wrinkles to how to get rid of them at home and helpful dermatological procedures!

1. Causes of neck wrinkles

Neck wrinkles can appear for a wider variety of reasons than you might think. The causes of neck wrinkles are as follows:

 

1) Aging process

The primary cause of neck wrinkles is said to be a loss of elasticity and changes in skin structure, caused by the aging process, which reduces collagen and elastin. Because the skin on the neck is particularly thin, this loss of elasticity makes it particularly prone to wrinkles.

 

2) Posture problems

These days, we spend a lot of time using our smartphones, and this posture, where we look down at our phones, can cause neck wrinkles. Looking down at our smartphones for long periods of time can cause the skin on the front of our neck to fold, leading to neck wrinkles.

 

3) Effect of ultraviolet rays

It is also said that if you do not apply sunscreen properly to the neck area, photoaging can occur and wrinkles can appear on the neck.

 

4) Repeated friction

It is said that repeated friction and pressure from collars, pillows, etc. around the neck can cause fine lines to form, which can lead to deep wrinkles.

2. How to get rid of neck wrinkles and home care methods

Neck wrinkles, once deepened, are difficult to improve. It's said that managing them to slow their progression is more important than simply eliminating them.

 

1) Use sunscreen

Some people only apply sunscreen to their face, but it is said that thoroughly applying sunscreen to the neck area as well can help manage neck wrinkles.

2) Use a low pillow

It is recommended to use a pillow of an appropriate height to prevent neck wrinkles, as using a high pillow can easily cause neck wrinkles.

 

3) Use moisturizer

The neck has less subcutaneous fat than the face, so it can easily become dry. Dry skin increases the risk of wrinkles, so developing the habit of applying moisturizer evenly to the entire neck after washing your face can help manage neck wrinkles.

3. Dermatological treatments that help manage neck wrinkles

If your neck wrinkles are already deep, it may be helpful to receive dermatological treatments to help manage them.

 

- Eye Shrink

iShrink is a lifting laser that can help improve fine wrinkles around the neck, eyes, and mouth. It's less painful than traditional shrinking and can be used in smaller areas. With three treatments spaced one week apart, the results are said to last for three to six months.

4. Q&A

1) Can neck wrinkles disappear naturally?

Neck wrinkles that already exist are difficult to disappear naturally. Deep, horizontal wrinkles, in particular, are characterized by a combination of decreased skin elasticity and structural changes, so concurrent treatments may be beneficial.

 

2) Does regular stretching help manage neck wrinkles?

Regular stretching of the platysma muscle can help manage neck wrinkles. Here's how to do it:

 

- Straighten your back and look straight ahead.

- Tilt your head up and slightly stick out your lower jaw.

- Exhale slowly through your mouth while tilting your head back.

- Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, then slowly return your head to its original position.

Starting today, after washing your face, reapply the cream you used on your face to your neck, or apply body cream to moisturize your neck as well!
