With masks coming off and summer approaching, people will start wearing V-necks or showing their necklines more often.
The cases prepared for today are about neck wrinkle concerns in a woman in her 40s and a woman in her 50s.
She had always been concerned about her neck wrinkles, and after making up her mind, she searched blogs and found my previous posts, which led her to visit the clinic.
(Thank you!)
Case. Woman in her 40s – Neck wrinkle filler & Ulthera
Front-view photo.
This is how it looks with the chin relaxed and the muscles gently released.
Overall loss of elasticity from the lower jaw makes the wrinkles appear deeper.
Now, let’s lift the chin fully.
Even when the chin is lifted, the neck wrinkles appear as deep grooves, like furrows after rain.
Left side / Right side view.
First, to fill the deep grooves in the neck wrinkles,
- Filler is essential.
Next, there are areas where skin elasticity has decreased, causing slight sagging,
- A firming laser is necessary—I always use Ulthera here!
Additionally, to improve the fine, crepey neck wrinkles,
- Rejuran and Skin Botox were also applied.
So, what’s the result?!
Before and after – Premium neck wrinkle treatment
Two weeks later, the remaining bruising and swelling are at this level.
As you can see in the photos above, I take the “before” photos with the neck angle slightly raised (which can actually make wrinkles appear less severe). In the “after” photos, the neck is kept more relaxed.
For the “before” photos, I use the brightest and most flattering shot (sometimes making it look better than it actually is). For the “after” photos, I use the darkest and sharpest image.
If the “after” photo were adjusted to match the original skin tone exactly, the wrinkles would almost disappear, leading some to wonder, “Was this edited? Can it really look like that?” I prepare the photos this way to show a more realistic sense of the results.
If you brighten the right-side photo to match the original skin tone, you can better gauge how good the actual results were.
Two weeks later, our client mentioned that her mother was thrilled, asking why she hadn’t done it sooner, which made me even happier.
Next, I’ll show Case 2.
Case 2. Woman in her 50s – Neck wrinkle filler & Ulthera
Recently, due to significant weight gain, she was concerned about her double chin and neck wrinkles.
In the relaxed front-view photo, the areas of concern are clearly visible.
Before – side view photo
If you notice areas where weight has increased or skin has lost elasticity, using a firming laser to improve these areas is absolutely essential!
Specifically, it’s important to receive Ulthera rather than just any laser.
When I first opened my clinic and decided to purchase Ulthera, many colleagues advised against it, saying, “Why spend on that expensive machine? We’re not even in Gangnam; who would do it?”
From a business standpoint, even if it might be a financial loss, I believe what matters more than cost is achieving reliable results.
Since lifting treatments are not performed frequently, it’s important to choose a procedure that delivers definite effects. Good lifting treatments also don’t require frequent repetition.
Perhaps because of this philosophy, I find myself performing Ulthera more often now in Incheon/Gimpo than I did while working in Gangnam.
Before and after – Neck wrinkle filler, Ulthera, and Botox
Before the procedure: 2023.03.17 – After the procedure: 2023.04.01
This photo was posted with consent and is the original, unedited photo of the same person taken in the same location.
The effects of each procedure may vary, so please consult thoroughly about potential side effects (such as pigmentation, bruising, swelling, etc.) before undergoing any treatment.
Similarly, the deep neck wrinkles before the procedure have become shallower and less noticeable. The after photo was taken slightly darker and more clearly to highlight the results.
One drawback is that the wrinkles just below the necklace line were deep and also improved, but they are less visible in the 2-week follow-up photo (sigh).
While neck wrinkle treatments are important, the “double chin line” is especially critical for everyone, regardless of gender or age. The sharper, the better—so it’s recommended to treat and refine this area before removing your mask.
Thank you.
