As I get older, I'm really self-conscious about neck wrinkles. How do you take care of them?
Hello Maypure members! I am posting this because I am feeling down after discovering something truly shocking while looking in the mirror today. I have always prided myself on taking good care of my facial skin, but when I happened to see my neck reflected in the elevator mirror today, I noticed deep horizontal wrinkles! While makeup can cover up my face to some extent, the neck is a part that cannot be hidden and truly reveals one's age.
Come to think of it, I realized that when I did my skincare routine, I would slather on expensive ampoules or creams only on my face, while just rubbing whatever was left on my hands onto my neck. On top of that, I have a habit of looking down at my smartphone all day and sleeping with a high pillow, so I think these are the biggest reasons why my neck wrinkles have deepened, haha. I know it’s too late to regret it now and the wrinkles that have already formed won't disappear, but I felt like I needed to at least prevent them from getting deeper, so a few days ago, I started applying the anti-aging cream I use on my face generously to my neck as well.
But I've heard a lot of people say that deep horizontal neck wrinkles absolutely cannot be smoothed out with cosmetics alone. So I looked into getting some dermatological treatments, but I'm completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of options. There are methods where fillers are injected directly into the neck, and I've seen people getting collagen boosters like Rejuran or Juvelook. I also heard there are lifting devices like Ulthera or Shurink to improve elasticity, but I'm terrified because the skin on the neck is so thin that it hurts much more than facial skin and causes severe bruising.
Has anyone here had any procedures done for neck wrinkles? I'm worried that fillers might become bumpy or look unnatural later on, so I'm curious to know which procedure was the most natural-looking and effective! Also, please share any great tips I can use in daily life to prevent neck wrinkles. I'm going to drastically lower my pillow height starting tonight. I'll be waiting for your valuable advice!!
