Neck and Décolletage Ageing: Causes and Treatments
The neck and décolletage areas often reveal signs of ageing earlier than other parts of the body. Factors like thinner skin, reduced elasticity, and prolonged sun exposure mean that fine lines and wrinkles can prominently appear, making individuals feel self-conscious about their appearance. At Damalis Skin Clinic in Wimbledon, London, we offer personalised anti-ageing treatments specifically designed to rejuvenate these delicate areas, restoring confidence and promoting a naturally youthful appearance.

What is Neck and Décolletage Ageing?
Neck and décolletage ageing refers to visible signs of ageing on the skin extending from the jawline to the chest area, known as the décolletage. Common issues include fine lines, deep wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of elasticity, uneven skin tone, pigmentation and age spots, and crepey skin texture. These signs result from natural ageing processes combined with environmental exposure, affecting both men and women.
Causes and Risk Factors
Various factors accelerate ageing in the neck and décolletage areas. Sun damage is a major contributor, as the neck and chest frequently receive direct sunlight, leading to pigmentation and collagen breakdown. Genetic predisposition also influences how quickly the skin loses elasticity. Lifestyle choices such as smoking, poor skincare routine, dehydration, and exposure to pollutants can further contribute to signs of ageing.
Symptoms of Neck and Décolletage Ageing
Typical symptoms include noticeable fine lines, wrinkles, vertical neck bands, sagging or loose skin, discolouration, and rough or crepey skin texture. The décolletage area often displays uneven skin tone, redness, and pronounced sunspots, significantly impacting self-esteem and comfort with one’s appearance.
Who is Affected by Neck and Décolletage Ageing?
While anyone can experience these ageing signs, they typically become more apparent after the age of 30 and progressively worsen over time. Individuals with lighter skin tones, significant sun exposure, or genetic predisposition to premature ageing may notice these symptoms earlier and more intensely.
