How to remove wrinkles on the neck? All about available methods 2022

The human neck is a real heroine. How much does this finely organized worker have to endure, and all in order to hold her head (which is about 6 kg!), deliver blood to it and drive the lymph away from it through her lymphatic channels and nodes!

At the same time, we hardly take care of our neck, and we also ruin it with poor posture. By the age of 30, the skin of the neck can become flabby, and at 35-40 it can become covered with age-related wrinkles. And this is not to mention the fact that some women’s necks are ringed with transverse wrinkles (rings of Venus) from birth, or they appear very early, even in teenage girls.

Are you looking at a necklace of grooves and folds, deep creases or vertical cords on your neck? In just three weeks, a completely different reflection may appear in the mirror - with a young, smooth and toned neck.

Read how to achieve this.

Causes of wrinkles on the neck

Wrinkles on the neck are the result not only of age, but also of our negligent attitude towards ourselves. Compared to the face, we hardly do anything about the neck. Even if we take care of this area, we do it insufficiently and incorrectly, plus we underestimate the destructive influence of ultraviolet radiation.

And our main mistake is that we don’t pay attention to our posture. Wrinkles on the neck appear primarily from a crooked back.

Although, it would seem, we should tremble over our necks, like over royal porcelain. She is just as fragile and valuable. Look at her anatomy: the bones are only vertebrae, the muscles are not attached to the bone tissue, the skin is very delicate, and there are also vital vessels and arteries. How does it all work, and even hold a heavy head?!

It is not surprising that the impact of loads on such a vulnerable structure leads to early aging. The neck may become covered with a necklace of horizontal wrinkles, cords and folds, when the face has not yet been touched by age.

In general, wrinkles on the neck are an unusual phenomenon.

Look at babies, they already have wrinkles on their necks. These are the so-called “constrictions”. They are noticeably expressed because babies have a well-developed layer of subcutaneous fat. Then these folds straighten out, but the memory of them remains forever, and wrinkles form in their place. For some, infantile folds do not fall completely, but leave behind grooves - circles for life, the same rings of Venus.

Where do these horizontal wrinkles and folds on the neck come from? They form in places where the superficial fascia on the muscles is connected to the skin by fibrous bands. Fascia is a connective tissue sheath that covers muscles. On the neck, it does not look like a single sheet, but as if it is divided into zones by cord fibers, which attract the skin to the muscles a little stronger. In the place of greatest attraction, grooves and folds appear.

They begin to look like a flaw in appearance when they produce a “quilted” effect on the skin, acting as a border between the more convex areas of the neck. Excess lymph and adipose tissue aggravate the picture.

And now imagine that with such an anatomical predisposition to wrinkles, the neck also has other weak points: the skin and the muscle frame. We will also tell you more about them.

A systematic approach will help remove wrinkles

There is a whole complex designed specifically to get rid of wrinkles on the neck. It is quite simple and can be performed at any time of the day and in any conditions.

Throwing back and slowly lowering the head (6-10 repetitions).
Tilt the head alternately to the right and left shoulder. In this case, you should try to reach your ear to your shoulder (6-10 repetitions).
Turn your head to the right and left until it stops.
Pulling forward the lower jaw and chin.
Circular movements of the head.

It must be remembered that when performing gymnastics for wrinkles on the face, it is mandatory to follow certain precautionary rules.

Sudden movements should be avoided and each exercise should be performed gently. Otherwise, it may well be that the pressing question for you will not be how to get rid of wrinkles on your neck, but how to get rid of pain in it.

These are not the only ways to keep your skin young and elastic. There are other options. You just need to remember that you need to use them all in a comprehensive manner.

Hypertonicity of the muscles of the face and neck

First about the muscles. What happens to them?

We remember that the task of the muscles is to help the cervical spine support a heavy head. When the posture and statics of the neck are correct, the load is distributed evenly. But who in the modern world has preserved all the natural curves of the spine, and the neck remains in place without moving forward? Besides ballerinas and athletes?

We constantly pull our heads towards the computer, press our chin into our chests to look at smartphones, and walk with our eyes on the ground.

The neck is pushed forward - the weight of the head falls on the seventh cervical vertebra, and the entire natural configuration collapses. The neck shortens, its muscles spasm, the withers grow at the back (connective tissue that “ossifies” and is strengthened by stagnant lymph), the blood vessels are blocked (which means the delivery of nutrients and oxygen through the blood to the neck and face deteriorates).

Look at the anatomy of the neck muscles.

The main “muscle of youth” is platysma. This is a wide subcutaneous muscle that lines the anterior surface of the neck. Its main problem is that it is not attached to the bone tissue, that is, it does not receive additional support. The skin here holds together only due to the elasticity of the platysma, as well as due to its own elasticity. But these resources do not last long: the muscle spasms and shortens, the skin withers. And here they are: wrinkles and sagging neck.

The condition of platysma also depends on the healthy tone of the masticatory muscles, with which it is closely intertwined. If they are spasmodic (and this is the case in 9 out of 10 people), they overload the platysma and provoke the formation of cords in the neck.

The appearance of the neck is also reflected in the hypertonicity of its other muscles.

The muscles of the anterior part, which are located behind the platysma, spasmed - the hyoid bone began to descend and pull the skin behind it, transverse folds formed on the neck, and fat deposits appeared under the chin.

The lateral muscles of the neck spasmed - wrinkles and folds appeared on the side, lymph flow was disrupted, and this resulted in swelling, sagging skin, and increased wrinkles.

The trapezius muscle, which extends on the back of the neck from the upper back, is tightened - the reason for the withers to grow.

And we are only talking about neck defects.

Although spasms of the neck muscles are a problem that “climbs” higher. A pinched and stiffened platysma pulls the entire face down, especially the depressor muscles (the corners of the lips go down). And any cervical muscle in spasm leads to a disruption of the blood supply to the head and a deterioration in the outflow of lymph. Blood does not reach the face in the required volume, that is, the main condition of youth is crossed out. The result is all the known signs of aging: a “floating” facial contour, loose and dull skin, swelling, wrinkles, creases, ptosis (drooping) of tissues, nasolabial lips, jowls, double chin.

What about health? On the neck there is a whole network of nerve endings, vessels, the most important jugular veins, which are responsible for the blood supply to the head. If the configuration of the cervical spine is disturbed, this leads to cervical osteochondrosis and hyperlordosis, headaches, blurred vision, poor health, etc.

How age-related skin changes affect the neck and décolleté

Now about the features of the skin.

In the neck and décolleté area it is thin, delicate and sensitive. Its structure resembles the skin around the eyes.

What distinguishes the skin of the neck and décolleté:

A very small number of sebaceous glands that produce sebum.
This means that the skin is almost devoid of the first skin barrier, which protects against external damaging influences and helps retain moisture inside.
Almost complete absence of fat in the neck area
(there is a little more of it in the décolleté area, but it disappears over the years). This leads to sagging and laxity.
Deficiency of melanocytes in the epidermis.
These cells produce the pigment melanin, which protects against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. If there is little pigment, the skin is more susceptible to photoaging.
Reduced level of distribution of the calcium gradient, on which skin regeneration depends.
Because of this, the integument becomes thinner, covered with wrinkles and creases.

There are also more blood vessels in the neck and décolleté area, so it is susceptible to the appearance of age-related red spots and hyperpigmentation.

By bowing our heads all the time, we constantly load not only the muscles, but also the skin. Wrinkles are formed on it, which become deeper over time, and the breakdown of elastin and collagen fibers intensifies.

What do a tense neck pressed into the shoulders and poorly saturated with blood, withering skin add up to?

Loose skin (“turkey neck”), wrinkles, rings of Venus.

Types of aging of the neck area

There are only two of them, and they are easily distinguished from each other:

Folds and strands located vertically. The main and main reason for their formation is usually the improper functioning of the platysma - the subcutaneous muscle of the neck.
Horizontal folds, bearing the very poetic name “rings of Venus”. They can be acquired or congenital, that is, genetically determined. As a result of changes in posture, poor lifestyle, unhealthy diet, and lack of proper physical activity, they become significantly worse, and then themselves become the cause of spasms and sagging.

To protect yourself from different types of wrinkles, experts recommend using the Moist Cream Mask Pro, a moisturizing and restorative cream mask that can provide the missing hydration to aging skin. It is suitable for any type of dermis, including even delicate, sensitive and subject to constant stress.

Main risk factors

Let's summarize.

The appearance of wrinkles on the neck is provoked by:

Poor posture and neck statics
Sun
Lack of proper care

And the first problem is the main one. Curvature of the spine is the scourge of the modern world. A world of people bent over gadgets. Have you heard of such a thing as a tech neck? If you constantly look at your computer and smartphone screen, you have it. Wrinkles and sagging have either already appeared or will appear soon.

Also, the appearance of wrinkles on the neck is caused by incorrect posture during sleep (chin pressed to the chest), the habit of slouching, walking with a bowed head and other manifestations of poor posture.

Prevention of neck folds

Do you want to keep your neck youthful for as long as possible?

The main advice is to watch your posture and don’t drop your head (in the literal sense of the word: the crown and tailbone should be on the same line).

How we achieve this:

We position the computer monitor so that you do not need to bend over to it.
We don’t bow our heads to the smartphone, but raise it to eye level.
We don’t put a tablet or laptop on our laps – we work at a table, or, as a last resort, we come up with a footrest (pillow, books) for the gadget.
We read while sitting, not lying down, so as not to create an excessive bend in the cervical spine.
We pay attention to our posture when we sit at the computer, when we rest, when we walk. The angle between the chin and neck is 90˚.

And don’t forget about the base necessary to prolong the youth of the skin on any part of the body: minimal and protected insolation, proper nutrition, sufficient drinking, rest, mental calm, etc.

Professional techniques

Just a spoiler. Most salon techniques:

Ineffective.
They may briefly create the appearance of rejuvenation, but from the inside the body will rapidly age. The causes of age-related changes will not be eliminated, but will worsen. When the effect of the procedure subsides, the skin on the neck will become even more flabby and wrinkled.
Dangerous.
Any invasive intervention (associated with penetration through the membranes of the body) is a traumatic procedure. Threat to skin, muscles, blood vessels, nerve endings. The tissues run the risk of becoming infected, becoming inflamed, festering, and dying. You need to be doubly careful with the neck, because it carries the head and provides blood supply to the brain.

What techniques do cosmetologists use to remove wrinkles on the neck:

Injections
Most often this is hyaluronic filler (contour plastic, that is, filling the skin with gel). Sometimes - Botox (muscle paralysis). Less popular (provides a weak effect) is mesotherapy - multiple punctures of the neck with needles and the formation of fibrous compactions due to numerous injuries.
Hardware techniques
Mainly laser and radio waves are used. They create high temperatures in the dermis, causing internal burns to the tissue.
Thread lifting
There are many different options for threads: absorbable and not, with and without notches. To install some, you need to make incisions, while others do not (the mesothreads are inserted using guide needles). The essence of thread lifting is the artificial creation of a framework for tightening and smoothing the skin. Even if the threads dissolve and in their place a “reinforcement” is formed from the patient’s own fibrous tissue, this is also a forced reaction to invasion and injury.
Surgery
Plastic surgery is the most radical method.

Contraindications, possible complications

The question of contraindications arises mainly in relation to salon procedures. Each has its own nuances, but there are also general prohibitions on their implementation:

carrying a child and breastfeeding it;
The body of a pregnant woman is radically restructured; it is very difficult to predict how it will react to any outside intervention in this state.
oncology and benign tumors;
any chronic diseases, especially during exacerbations;
autoimmune diseases;
inflammatory processes, colds;
A cold or even just feeling unwell is a reason to postpone a visit to a cosmetologist

unhealed mechanical damage to the epidermis;
low blood clotting, thinness and high sensitivity of the skin, tendency to form rough scars.

Massage and gymnastics are prohibited in case of pathologies of the nervous and lymphatic systems, the presence of wounds, burns, abrasions on the skin (until they heal). The last contraindication also applies to cosmetics. Individual intolerance is also added here. To avoid allergies, test any new product on the skin of your hand, rubbing a little into your forearm from the inside. Wait half an hour, if during this time the skin condition has not changed (no rash, swelling, itching, redness), the cosmetics can be safely used for their intended purpose.

The development of allergies can be triggered by both organic and synthetic ingredients in home and commercial cosmetics.

Plastic surgery

If wrinkles on the neck are accompanied by sagging skin, it comes to the scalpel.

A surgical neck lift is a major operation. Surgeon:

removes fat (liposuction),
moves the platysma: peels it off and lifts it upward or “pulls it”, connecting its upper edges and bringing the lower ones closer together (platysmoplasty),
cuts off “extra” skin (cervicoplasty).

This is the most dangerous type of invasive intervention, with a high risk of complications.

Features of neck rejuvenation at different ages

Depending on the patient’s age, cosmetologists offer different options for “rejuvenating” the neck.

As a rule, they introduce young women to hardware cosmetology from the age of 25.

At the age of 30-35, fillers and Botox begin to be injected. “Rejuvenating” sessions turn into “rejuvenating” courses. You have to visit a cosmetologist more often than a manicurist.

After 45-50 years, an exhausted woman who has rapidly aged from all these endless “injections of youth” is offered a surgical lift as her only salvation.

This scenario is not a thriller plot, but a modern reality. Don't fall into the trap of “punitive” cosmetology!

What remedies help?

An important component is well-chosen cosmetics, which also have a pronounced effect after constant use.

Serums

Typically, these products contain vitamins, natural acids, are rich in antioxidants, nutrients, minerals, that is, components that actively even out and improve the structure of the skin. An example of an effective product is the gel serum with an “anti-glycation” effect, PH Moist Firming Serum, which gives the dermis special elasticity and provides active hydration 24/7.

Masks

With their help you can quickly get your skin in order. They exfoliate dead skin cells and also smooth out the outer skin, making it more elastic, smooth and dense. However, it is not recommended to use them daily. It is better to limit yourself to 1-2 procedures per week, depending on the instructions on the package.

We recommend

Premium set “Ideal facial skin. Healthy tone"

Bb Laboratories – Placental cleansing foam

Gel mask black BB Laboratories

Placentran soap LNC with detox effect

Creams and gels

Such products are suitable for daily use. You need to choose them based on your skin type, its structure, and taking into account all the changes that have occurred. Cosmetics will help provide proper regular care without causing any harm. Remember that creams have a thicker and thicker texture, while gels are the lightest and most watery, so their effects vary.

Neck brace

A method such as a neck brace is also not credible. This is an elastic bandage that is worn around the neck and chin. Its task is to tighten the skin in these areas and make the oval of the face clear. You need to wear it while sleeping, and the manufacturers promise the effect after 1-3 months.

All the “benefits” of such a bandage rest on the controversial statement that while wearing it, gravity ceases to act on the tissue, the skin and muscles remember this state and tighten.

You already have a good understanding of age-related changes in the neck, right? Do you believe that tightening it can solve the problem of aging?

It will probably only get worse. The blood supply to the tissues will be disrupted - the skin will begin to wither and stretch even more, rather than recover. Additional pressure will be put on the muscles - their hypertonicity will increase, and they will pull the skin along with them.

This is tomorrow, what about today?

If you intend to take care of your neck without waiting for age-related changes, start by eliminating those factors that aggravate the problem:

Exposure to the sun or solarium without using products with UV filters.
Sudden weight fluctuations - the thin skin of the neck is not able to quickly and completely shrink after significant weight loss.
Improper sleep: lack of sleep, as well as the use of high pillows, due to which the neck bends and wrinkles form on the skin.
Uneven muscle loads: insufficient or excessive motor activity of the head and neck.
Blood vessels are pinched by neckerchiefs, tight collars, and scarves.

Safe rejuvenation techniques

How then can you remove wrinkles on your neck?

The only effective and safe option is natural rejuvenation. This is the only way to eliminate the internal causes of wrinkles on the neck. Let's deal with the reasons - smooth out the skin.

What is the main source of youth in our neck? Blood, which supplies cells with nutrients and oxygen. Not even the most expensive “cocktail” in a cosmetologist’s syringe can compare with what our own bloodstream is capable of.

Let's help blood flow through the vessels, as in youth, and launch the natural mechanisms of skin rejuvenation: the synthesis of collagen and elastin will increase, regeneration will accelerate, and protective properties will increase.

And do you also remember about posture and its effect on the youth of the neck? A healthy spine with correct physiological curves is the basis on which neck rejuvenation should be built.

Therefore, we are moving in two main directions.

We work on posture - we unload the cervical spine, return the neck to its place, remove obstacles to healthy blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
We do self-massage and exercises for the neck - we relieve spasms from the neck muscles, stretch out the platysma, and restore firmness and elasticity to the skin.

Congenital wrinkles will be difficult to completely remove, but they will definitely decrease. The acquired ones lend themselves well to natural rejuvenation techniques and are smoothed out.

Neck exercises:

Ingredients that cosmetics for neck wrinkles should contain

Gymnastics and self-massage for the neck must be supplemented with cosmetic care.

You should take care of your neck as carefully as your face. Cleanse, moisturize, nourish, protect.

The cosmetics industry, of course, invents the most incredible highly specialized products to attract customers and has long invented such a niche as creams for the neck and décolleté. In fact, there is no need for such funds.

For the neck and décolleté area, you can use any day or night face cream.

Natural oils, squalane, and balms are especially useful - they are suitable for caring for any area of the face and body and have an anti-aging effect. They contain a large amount of vitamins and fatty acids, which increase skin elasticity.

They nourish, help retain moisture in the dermis, fight free radicals (antioxidant action), promote regeneration, and protect against external destructive actions. Everything necessary is created to help the skin smooth out with the help of exercises and self-massage.

Also apply any creams or lotions with SPF protection to your neck before going outside. This is necessary to prevent photoaging of the skin, especially sensitive to ultraviolet rays.

Is it possible to solve the problem of aging neck skin at home?

It is possible to prevent age-related changes. To do this, as mentioned above, from the age of 20, it is recommended to take daily care of your face and such delicate areas as the neck and décolleté. It is better to entrust the selection of effective cosmetics to a cosmetologist who will take into account both your skin type and its characteristics.

Exercises to strengthen the neck muscles will be useful. For example, experts recommend the following complex:

Tension of the lateral surface. While standing, pull your left arm down and your head to the right. Then vice versa: right hand down, and head to the left. You should feel the muscles tense.
While standing, lower both arms down and lift them forward a little, then tilt your head back and pull the top of your head towards the floor. This exercise works to stretch the front of the neck.
Fold your hands together and place them on the back of your head. At the same time as you exhale, lower your head, and as you inhale, try to lift it, preventing this with your hands.

It is useful to do this stretching daily, but very carefully.

The condition of the skin is significantly influenced by diet and nutrition. The main thing here is the balance of the resulting proteins, fats and carbohydrates; vitamins of groups A and E must be present, as well as vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant. Seafood, fish, poultry, broccoli, bell peppers and black currants, tomatoes, nuts, legumes, greens - regular consumption of these products has a positive effect on the skin if everything is in order with the gastrointestinal tract. If a person is a patient of a gastroenterologist, the diet should be discussed with him. And don’t forget about maintaining water balance in your body! This is extremely important for the skin.

It is better to entrust neck massage for the purpose of its rejuvenation to professionals, because they have special techniques that allow them to achieve amazing results. It is not for nothing that all cosmetologists have a medical education and undergo additional training in massage techniques. Self-massage can harm your skin!

What do cosmetologists advise if the neck has become flabby and there are already deep wrinkles on it? The only right decision is to come for a consultation, undergo a skin condition diagnosis and receive individual recommendations for home and professional care. Exercises and massage will not help in such cases; more serious procedures are needed!

Review of remedies for neck wrinkles

To remove wrinkles on the neck, cosmetic care is required. But don’t count on the Photoshop effect, even if the cream packaging says “anti-wrinkle.” Cosmetics will give pronounced results only in combination with natural rejuvenation techniques.

With the help of exercises, we accelerate blood and lymph, warm up and prepare the skin so that it accepts all the benefits of cosmetics.

How to remove

Many people, discovering that folds and wrinkles have appeared on the neck, have no idea what to do or how to reduce them. Meanwhile, there is still a solution. It will help, if not stop the problem completely, then significantly improve the appearance. Visually leveling the terrain and smoothing the surface is much better than doing nothing.

However, you need to understand that only cosmetic products, such as peelings, scrubs, etc., will not achieve an acceptable result. It all depends on when and at what stage the cosmetic procedures were started and what condition the skin was in at that time.

Professional options

Some people prefer to deal with the problem on their own, others turn to specialists for help and resort, for example, to laser peeling. It involves deep cleaning using special equipment. As a result, regenerative processes are launched inside the dermis, the production of collagen and elastin is activated, and the connective tissue adheres to them more tightly. In each case, an experienced professional should select the number of sessions depending on the need (2-8). It is customary to carry out this procedure in courses with a break of 30-45 days.

Modern cosmetology offers a colossal number of different products and methods that help fight age-related changes in the neck and décolleté. The final choice of rejuvenation method directly depends on many factors and the following individual characteristics:

age;
skin condition;
diseases.

In certain cases, some procedures may be prohibited or indicated, therefore correction must be approached comprehensively and thoroughly.

Plastic surgery

The most radical option is considered to be platysmoplasty, that is, direct surgical intervention. It helps to completely get rid of vertical strands and significantly improves appearance. Here you can highlight thread lifting. Small punctures are made in the skin, where special thin fibers are inserted. They become a new supporting frame that prevents the skin from sagging.

Massage

When the question arises of what to do with a wrinkled neck, but plastic surgery is undesirable for some reason, you can try this method of getting rid of wrinkles. True, to achieve an effect, you need to do it systematically and regularly. The most popular techniques:

Facebook building;
massage with Chinese spoons;
stone therapy;
lymphatic drainage

It is preferable that all skin manipulation is performed by a competent and experienced specialist who knows exactly what it is. In some cases, it is permissible to conduct independent home sessions, but it is better not to take risks without preparation.

Exercises

Exercise is undoubtedly an important part of an integrated approach and helps to preserve the youth and beauty of the dermis longer. A correctly selected complex will strengthen muscles, reduce the deepest creases, and even get rid of small ones completely.

As with massage, it is very important to do everything in a timely manner, not forgetting to treat it responsibly. The optimal regimen is once or twice a day: morning and evening. At the same time, you need to establish nutrition and maintain general physical fitness at the proper level.

Is it possible to get rid of wrinkles on the neck with exercises?

It can be difficult for women to believe that you can smooth out wrinkles on your neck on your own, simply by making self-massage and exercise a healthy habit. But it is so.

Even simple exercises that can be done anywhere help: at home, at work, on the street.

Exercising for the neck is the prevention of wrinkles and the fight against an existing problem.

Do you sit at the computer for a long time?

Stretch your neck at least once every 1-2 hours. This is necessary for her health and youth.

Make simple turns and tilts of your head.
You can do the figure eight exercise: take an imaginary pencil to your lips and draw the number “8” with it.
Fighting computer neck

Do you want to remove wrinkles, stretch and improve your neck?

You'll have to work a little harder. At least once a day, do a simple set of neck exercises that will take you 5 minutes.

Vegetables and fruits

Rejuvenating peach: 2 tsp. fruit with chamomile decoction for 20 minutes.

Banana is a great thing and is included in many skin mask recipes. Good with a couple of drops of linseed and rose oils. The latter can be replaced with vitamin E.

Orange nourishing mask: a couple of tbsp. l. cottage cheese, 4 tbsp. l. fresh orange juice, 1 tsp. vegetable oil, place under cling film for 20 minutes.

Potatoes are very praised, you can even boil them (!), with the addition of butter or eggs - in fact, regular mashed potatoes, also for 20 minutes. Raw potatoes have a pronounced lifting effect: just apply grated pulp.

Feel free to use everything from the garden that can invigorate your skin: cucumber, pumpkin, zucchini, apricot, strawberries, melon, currants, as well as viburnum and sea buckthorn with sour cream.

It’s a crime to ignore gelatin, a natural source of collagen. Perfectly tightens the skin if you mix 1/1 with water, add a little milk and starch until a “porridge” forms, heat in a water bath and rinse off after drying.

All types of clay are effective; they can be diluted with turmeric in water or herbal decoctions.

Don't neglect to scrub your neck several times a month either.

How to get rid of neck wrinkles in just 5 minutes a day

Do the exercises one by one. Each will take 1 minute.

"Frame" and stretch
- Raise your arms above your head as high as possible, raise your shoulders, fold your arms in a loose frame (wrap your left hand around your right elbow and vice versa), without touching your ears.
Stretch the sides of your neck with your hands. With one hand, fix the tissues at the collarbone, with the other, tightly walk the edge of your palm from the collarbone to the jaw from bottom to top. Repeat on the other side.
Stretching the back of the neck
Lower your head and add the weight of your hands - you don’t need to press them hard, your head itself will drop lower under the weight of your hands on the back of your head. Stand like this for 30-60 seconds and slowly return your head to its place with your hands.
Relaxation and stretching of platysma
- Press your palms tightly to your chest and push all the tissue under your arms down.
Move your hands a little higher, to the collarbone area, and do the same.
Exercise to relieve spasms of the anterior surface of the neck
Lower your head to your palms and press your chin to them.
Pull your chin and palms towards each other, as if pressing them into each other - for half a minute.
Smoothly returning to the starting position, stretch the muscles on the sides of your neck.
Stretching exercises for the sternocleidomastoid muscles and long neck muscles.
Tilt your head to the sides and back and forth.

These five exercises are the minimum that will relieve spasms, improve blood and lymph flow, and help maintain a healthy neck. Do them daily, and wrinkles will decrease and even disappear completely (if they are not congenital).

We work precisely with each wrinkle using vacuum cans. You'll need cupping for your face. You can buy Beauty365 glass jars at www.beauty365.ru. Apply squalane or oil to your neck, take the smallest jar (5 mm in diameter), suck it onto the wrinkle and move as if you were erasing it with an eraser.

Watch how Annette does it:

These are just individual techniques. To achieve a more pronounced and stable result, an integrated approach is needed.

Anti-wrinkle massage

You need to massage the skin of the neck very carefully; it can easily be stretched, further aggravating the problem. Helpful, for example, are patting the problem area alternately with towels soaked in hot and cold water (2-3 approaches each 25-30 seconds long). Finish the procedure with a cold towel, then apply a nourishing cream. Other massage methods:

Classical. The skin is lubricated with oil or rich cream, light stroking is carried out from the earlobes along the neck down to the décolleté. Then the same area is worked with circular movements and tapping with the edge and back of the hand.
Lymphatic drainage Japanese. It begins with warming up the skin, rubbing the neck and décolleté area with light movements until a feeling of warmth appears.
