Why is the decolletage so special to a woman? | Dr Benjamin Cozanet

Most often, women go to anti-age and aesthetic MDs to rejuvenate their faces. The decolletage, the neck and the hands are often neglected. Yet, these delicate zones can betray your age just as much as an aging face. For this reason, hand, decolletage and neck treatments allow you to maintain balance with a younger-looking face.
Dr Benjamin Cozanet can treat the following signs of aging:

•  On the decolletage, vertical and oblique wrinkles will appear between the two breasts and then rise and fan out towards the collarbones.

• On the neck, horizontal wrinkles and skin sagging will appear.

• These wrinkles are due to the natural skin aging process but are worsened by external factors like excessive sun exposure, cigarette smoking, and sleeping positions (on the side or stomach). 

Hyaluronic Acid and the Decolletage 

Dr Benjamin Cozanet uses low-reticulated hyaluronic acids (Skinboosters) to hydrate and “firm” the decolletage, the neck or the hands to correct the signs of aging.  Injections can be performed as the initial signs of aging appear and will be effective and long-lasting on these fragile zones, as a preventative measure.

Types of hyaluronic acid for the decolletage

Dr Benjamin Cozanet uses different types of hyaluronic acid, from the world’s leading laboratories for an effective and natural looking treatment of the decolletage and neck:

• Classic reticulated hyaluronic acids to fill-in the deepest wrinkles, helps keep skin taut and rehydrates.

• Skinboosters hyaluronic acids which are less filling but more moisturizing, to restore radiance and glow and improve skin texture and tone: the equivalent of an ultra-moisturizing cream injected deep into your skin, liberating hydrating agents gradually.

• On the decolletage and neck, hyaluronic acid is sometimes combined with vitamins, oligo elements and minerals providing an optimal restoration of skin radiance and glow.

• Calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse®) or HarmonyCa® or Sculptra®  is equally injected through a layering technique into the decolletage or neck skin (and other body zones) and acts like a tissue inducer to improve collagen and elastin production in the skin.

• All the injection treatments can be combined with Ultherapy Prime®’s lifting and firming treatment of the decolletage and neck, providing full and thorough action on the 3 skin components (hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin), and long-lasting results.

Hyaluronic Acid injection on the decolletage: a step-by-step process 

Dr Benjamin Cozanet welcomes you free of charge for your first personalized medical consultation at his 1st district clinic.

He will analyze your skin quality and identify any contraindications to hyaluronic acid injections and recommend different solutions for the rejuvenation and beautification of your decolletage or neck.

For the decolletage or neck zones, which are particularly thin and delicate, the Doctor may use microcannulas or ultra fine needles.

The injections are virtually painless since the hyaluronic acid contains anesthesia, however for sensitive and anxious patients, anesthesia cream may be prescribed and applied 30 minutes prior to the act.  In this case, a prescription will be provided (Elma) during your 1st consultation.

The risk of ecchymoses and hematomas is virtually non-existent thanks to the gentle injection technique. The safer and gentler the medical procedure, the fewer bruises you'll have. 

After the injections, the hyaluronic acid is massaged into the skin, to distribute it in a harmonious and even manner.

The results are immediate and improve in the 3-4 weeks following the session.

The hyaluronic acid injection to the decolletage or neck lasts anywhere from 20-30 minutes and can be combined with other facial zone treatments like the oval, or even the hands.
