Rejuvenating the Décolleté and Aging Neck

The décolleté-the skin of your neck, chest and upper cleavage- is one of the first areas to show signs of ageing. It is thin, exposed, and subject to constant UV damage, repeated movement and loss of structural support over time.

Common changes include:

Skin laxity / sagging

Fine lines and deep wrinkles

Crepey texture and thinning

Discolouration / pigmentation changes

Loss of volume and definition

To restore radiance, firmness and hydration to this delicate area, a tailored, multi-modal approach is often required. We can combine Botox,TM bioremodelling injectables and collagen-stimulating treatments to restore the skin’s natural luminosity, firmness, and smoothness:

Treatment Summary

Botox™ Minimal (small bumps for up to 24hrs) Lifting, tightening and vertical bands 14 days 3–4 months
Profhilo™ Minimal (mild redness for 24 hrs) Dehydration, fine lines 4–6 weeks 6–9 months
Polynucleotides (Plinest™) Minimal (small bumps for 24 hrs) Crepiness, loss of elasticity 3–8 weeks 6–12 months
SkinPen™ Microneedling Mild redness 24–48 hrs Texture, firmness, tone Gradual over 4–8 weeks Ongoing collagen renewal

BotoxTM Neck Lift-The ‘Nefertiti Lift’

The BotoxTM neck lift, often called “the Nefertiti Lift”, is a precise technique that uses small doses of botulinum toxin to relax the platysma muscles of the neck and jawline. This creates a subtle lifting and tightening effect, refining the jawline and softening the appearance of vertical neck bands. Benefits:

Lifts and defines the jawline

Reduces neck banding and wrinkles

Creates a smoother, younger-looking profile

Results develop within two weeks and last around 3-4 months, with regular maintenance recommended.

ProfhiloTM-Deep Hydration and Collagen Remodelling

ProfhiloTM is an award-winning injectable treatment made from ultra-pure hyaluronic acid, designed to deeply hydrate and remodel the skin. Unlike traditional fillers, it doesn’t add volume- instead, it spreads evenly beneath the surface, stimulating collagen and elastin for improved tone and texture.

Benefits for the décolletage:

Intensely hydrates thin, crepey skin

Improves elasticity and firmness

Reduces the appearance of fine lines

Restores a natural, dewy glow

Treatment plan:

Usually a course of two sessions, four weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6-9 months. Results develop gradually as your skin renews itself from within.

Polynucleotides-PlinestTM-Regenerative Skin Boosting at a Cellular Level

Polynucleotides (often referred to as “skin regeneration injectables”) are the next generation of biostimulatory treatments. Derived from purified DNA fragments, they work by stimulating fibroblasts-the skin’s repair cells-to improve texture, elasticity, and overall quality.

They are ideal for this area as they:

Encourage collagen and elastin production

Improve hydration, tone, and pigmentation irregularities

Soften crepey lines and sun-damaged skin

Support long-term tissue regeneration

Polynucleotides can be used alone or as part of a combined plan with ProfhiloTM or SkinPenTM Microneedling for enhanced rejuvenation and radiance.

SkinPenTM Microneedling-Precision Collagen Induction

Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin, triggering a natural healing response and new collagen production. When combined with targeted serums or skin boosters, it delivers impressive improvements in texture, firmness and overall quality.

Ideal for:

Fine lines and mild wrinkling

Uneven tone and texture

Loss of elasticity

Early sun damage

For best results, we often recommend a course of 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every few months.

Combination Therapy for a Youthful Decolletage

For many patients, combining BotoxTM, ProfhiloTM, Polynucleotides, and Microneedling gives the most transformative yet natural results. The synergy of lifting and tightening, deep hydration, cellular repair and collagen stimulation restores smoothness, plumpness and luminosity-while maintaining the skin’s natural movement and texture.

Results you can expect:

Firmer, smoother, more hydrated skin

Reduction in fine lines and crepiness

Brighter, more even tone

Soft, healthy glow that lasts

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Profhilo suitable for the décolletage?

Yes. Profhilo is particularly well suited to the décolletage because it improves hydration, elasticity and skin quality without adding volume. The chest has thin, delicate skin, and Profhilo® works by remodelling the skin from within rather than filling lines, making results look natural and refined

Polynucleotides are regenerative injectables that work at a cellular level to improve skin repair and collagen production. While Profhilo primarily focuses on hydration and bioremodelling, polynucleotides actively stimulate tissue regeneration, making them ideal for crepey skin, sun damage and early ageing changes. The two treatments are often complementary to each other.

Absolutely. Combining Profhilo, polynucleotides and SkinPen microneedling often produces the best overall rejuvenation of the décolletage.

Each treatment targets a different layer and mechanism of ageing-hydration, cellular repair and collagen induction-resulting in smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin.

Yes, when performed by a trained medical professional. The décolletage requires specific settings and techniques due to thinner skin, which is why practitioner expertise is essential. When done correctly, microneedling is a safe and effective way to improve texture, firmness and fine lines in this area.

This depends on your skin quality and goals, but typical plans include:

  • Profhilo: 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart
  • Polynucleotides (Plinest): 2-3 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart
  • SkinPen Microneedling: 3-4 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart

Maintenance treatments are usually recommended every 6-12 months.

Results are gradual and natural.

  • Skin hydration and glow often improve within 2-4 weeks
  • Firmness and texture continue to improve over 2-3 months
  • Collagen stimulation progresses for several months after treatment

This gradual change is what keeps results subtle and elegant.

Downtime is minimal.
You may experience mild redness, swelling or small injection bumps, which typically resolve within 24-48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities the same or next day. We advise avoiding sun exposure and applying high-factor SPF during healing.

Discomfort is usually mild. Topical numbing cream is used where appropriate, and treatments are well tolerated. The décolletage can be sensitive, but most patients describe the sensation as manageable and short-lived.

These treatments may not be suitable if you are:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Experiencing active skin infections or inflammation
  • Undergoing certain medical treatments

A full medical consultation is always carried out to ensure safety and suitability.

Results vary depending on skin type, lifestyle and sun exposure. On average:

  • Profhilo: 6-9 months
  • Polynucleotides (Plinest): up to 12 months
  • SkinPen Microneedling: ongoing collagen benefits with maintenance

Regular skincare, SPF use and maintenance treatments help prolong results.

While medical-grade skincare is important, it cannot penetrate deeply enough to stimulate collagen or repair structural ageing. Professional treatments work beneath the surface, addressing the root causes of ageing rather than just the appearance.
