Anti-aging programs for a beautiful thin neck without a double chin and wrinkles

Expert opinion

Anastasia Dubinskaya, “Try to remember the image of the vertical axis of the spine in a biology textbook with its anatomical curves - this is the ideal, correct option.
But for most of us, most likely, you can observe how the neck is deviated from the straight axis by 40–45 degrees, the cervical arch itself is overly pronounced, the vertebrae seem to have fallen forward. And the thoracic region, on the contrary, has become more convex. Outwardly, it looks like a head that is constantly pushed forward and is low in position. In such an unnatural position, the physiological balance and correct statics of the neck are disrupted; the tissues begin to experience excessive stress, which leads to deformation. The cervicothoracic spine is transformed and pronounced cervical lordosis (bending forward) and thoracic kyphosis (stooping) develop.” Such pathological processes are formed due to our dependence on gadgets, freezing in professional poses (for example, with pedicurists and manicurists, dentists, massage therapists), when watching movies on the phone, working at the computer; the list can be continued endlessly.

Long, static, often unnatural postures for the body interfere with the normal functioning of muscles and fascia, and prevent the outflow of fluids (blood and lymph). As a result, various aesthetic disorders develop, including folds and loose skin on the neck and décolleté.

How to turn back time? Firstly, you need to work with the cervicothoracic region in a comprehensive manner and take care of your posture. Secondly, the normal balance of the neck muscles and correct statics should be restored. Thirdly, release lymphatic vessels clamped by muscle spasms and improve blood circulation. If you follow these three steps, you will see a quick effect: the oval of your face will tighten, the skin on your neck and décolleté will become smoother, and you will look younger.

Factors that negatively affect the condition of the neck

• Frequent use of a smartphone
  . Work or a strong attachment to social networks force us to take our phone literally everywhere. At the same time, we rarely notice in what unnatural position our neck freezes.
• Reading or watching TV while lying down
  . Just like with a smartphone, being engrossed in a book or TV program forces us to focus our attention and forget about the uncomfortable situation.
• Prolonged work at the computer
  . It is almost impossible to imagine your life without the Internet, electronic documents and reports. And for those who work 8 hours in front of a monitor, neck problems become commonplace.
• Excessive passion for tanning
  . Golden skin tone is often associated with health, but do not forget that under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, so-called photoaging occurs. During tanning, elastin fibers are destroyed, causing the skin to begin to stretch and sag faster.
• Heredity
  . It is also impossible to deny the fact that we received our appearance and health features from our parents. But this does not mean that any problem can be attributed to heredity. A beautiful neck can be the result of intense work on yourself.
• Incorrect position while sleeping
  . For example, a high pillow can cause a double chin.

ACCUMULATION OF SUBCUTANEOUS FAT WITH NECK DEFORMITY

In case of pronounced accumulation of subcutaneous fat with neck deformation, hardware cosmetology in combination with contour plastic surgery is recommended.

The first stage is CoolSculpting technology using the Zeltiq device - the only non-surgical method for correcting double chin fat deposits. The method is approved by the FDA and registered by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The essence of the method is local cooling of subcutaneous fat to −10-11 degrees. The procedure is extremely effective and completely safe; one session allows you to reduce your double chin by half. If necessary, the procedure can be repeated after 8 weeks. The procedure is comfortable and does not require rehabilitation.

The second stage - the Ulthera System procedure - is a safe procedure, not inferior in effectiveness to surgical lifting, but has a number of advantages: no rehabilitation period (scars, swelling, bruises), safety. The technology is based on the use of focused ultrasound. Ultrasound waves are able to penetrate to a given depth, directly affecting the dermis, subcutaneous fatty tissue and the muscular aponeurotic layer. After the procedure, patients note pronounced lifting, tissues are smoothed, contours become clear. The effect is noticeable within 1.5 months after the procedure, and a stable and vibrant result develops over the next 6 months. Ulthera System has no analogues among hardware procedures for rejuvenation and non-invasive correction of age-related changes in the face and neck. It differs from Korean counterfeits in its pronounced clinical results and safety. This is important, especially in the neck area where important organs are located. This method requires the highest skill from the doctor, knowledge of the anatomy of the face and neck, since we work with deep tissues.

Exercise 5

Place your hands on your shoulders and put a little pressure on them, while stretching your neck up. Take a deep breath and count to 10. Relax your neck. During this exercise, not only the neck muscles work, but also the back muscles.

It is recommended to repeat each exercise 2-3 times. Gradually the number of repetitions should be increased. Visible results can be achieved within a few weeks of regular training. If you plan to perform more complex exercises, do not forget about a short warm-up to warm up your muscles. It can consist of smooth movements of the head to the right and left, as well as the jaw forward and backward.

Why do neck muscles need

In the spine, which consists of five sections, the cervical is the first and most mobile. It would seem what a load is on him. He is not responsible for the ability to walk straight; the body does not put pressure on him. The neck is not related to the weight of the entire body like the lumbar region.

Sections of the spine and structure of the cervical vertebrae

1. But, firstly, the head is supported on the neck, the weight of which, as you know, is almost eight kilograms.
2. Secondly, the seven vertebrae that make up the cervical area are the thinnest and most fragile in the entire spine.
3. Thirdly, the neck is not just a “stand” for the head, connecting the skull to the body. It connects the brain with the spinal cord.
4. In addition, muscles pass through the neck, thanks to which the head can move.
5. The neck contains arteries that supply oxygen to the brain.
6. And finally, here are the nerve endings that send impulses to all significant systems at the top of the human body.

Neck muscle diagram

Doctors today say that one of the reasons for multiple spinal diseases is inactivity. Human activity in almost all areas is associated with a sitting position, at a computer or simply at a desk. Children begin to spend most of their time sitting while still at school, and this continues for many throughout their lives. The result of this is low motor activity, which leads to impaired muscle activity.

Spinal problems are often associated with low physical activity

Important! If the muscles are weakened, the organ cannot fully perform its functions. In the case of the neck, a violation of muscle activity leads to a change in the structure of the vertebral cervical segments, their deformation, the formation of growths, cracks, and so on. In addition, the slightest load on untrained muscles can cause injury, which will lead to the formation of pathology.

What happens when the neck muscles weaken?

1. They “freeze” and lose their elasticity.
2. The blood circulation process becomes slower.
3. Blood stagnates.
4. Disturbances in the lymph flow begin.
5. The flow of oxygen to the brain is disrupted.
6. A constant spasm forms in the cervical area, which increases the load from any action on the intervertebral discs.
7. The integrity of the disks is compromised.
8. The condition of the neck vertebrae worsens and they become deformed.
9. The nerves become pinched.
10. The person begins to experience pain.

Neck diseases

Pathologies in the cervical area can occur for many different reasons, but 60% of them appear precisely because of untrained and weakened neck muscles.

Table. Neck diseases.

Training and timely strengthening of muscles (before the onset of the pathological process) allows you to avoid many of the problems described above and maintain the health of the cervical spinal zone, and therefore many other organs and systems of the human body.

By the way. Performing certain physical exercises with a given regularity can train exactly those organs that need training.

Motor activity returns to the muscles, blood flow returns to normal speed, difficulties with oxygen supply disappear, neck flexibility increases, and therefore the ability to resist injury. The organ functions normally, and no pathologies arise in it.

Advice. Before choosing any set of exercises and starting to perform it, remember that you should always do muscle strengthening exercises at a slow and calm pace. No sudden movements, ever. Do it in front of a mirror, turn on music whose rhythm is slower than your heartbeat. If you still can't maintain a slow pace, ask someone close to you to supervise and “slow down” you until you get used to it.

Types of necks in women

• 
  In a proportionally folded human body, the length of the neck should be 1/3 of the length of the head, and the width should be 1/4 of its volume.

• You won't believe it, but the girth of our neck is equal to the girth of our calves.
• Visually, a woman’s neck can be divided into several types:
• A long neck is most often found in portly people with small heads and long limbs;
• A short neck is characteristic of people with raised shoulders and a stoop;
• A thick neck is most often found in people of short stature who are overweight;
• Those with thin necks are most often tall, slender women.

Treatments in the salon

A cosmetologist can also offer you solutions:

• myostimulation;
• injections;
• radio wave lifting.

A lift can be considered as a last resort. But remember that if you don't change your habits, the problems will return very quickly.

It is better to groom the swan neck from a young age. But even at a more mature age, persistence and control can significantly improve the condition of the neck. Don't neglect the procedures in the salon either.

REDUCED TURGOR AND ELASTICITY OF THE NECK SKIN WITH THE APPEARANCE OF HORIZONTAL FOLDS

For reduced turgor and elasticity of the skin of the neck, ptosis of the skin with the appearance or worsening of horizontal folds (rings of Venus), I recommend a combination of methods aimed at rejuvenating the neck area. The synergy of the two methods will give more pronounced and prolonged results.

The first stage is Fractional RF - thermolysis using Fractor applicators. The applicators have sharp needles and differ from each other in the density of the needles and their length (24 and 60 pins). The choice of applicator depends on the treatment area and the depth of the wrinkles. Thin needles easily pass through the skin; when a pulse is applied around the needle electrodes, local tissue destruction occurs with the formation of a thin crater - the skin contracts, heating around the crater stimulates the work of fibroblasts. In response to damage, regeneration mechanisms are launched, and controlled heating in the skin thickens and organizes collagen fibers. As a result, wrinkles are smoothed out, tone and elasticity increase, the skin becomes more youthful and elastic, dryness and pigmentation disappear. Patients note pronounced lifting after a week. The effect increases within two months and lasts for several years. I would like to note that Fractora is suitable for patients with different types (from 1 to 5 skin types according to Fitzpatrick). The procedure can be carried out in the summer. There is no hyperpigmentation after exposure. The rehabilitation period is from 3 to 5 days.

The second stage is reinforcing the skin of the neck using Radiesse . Radiesse is a filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite that activates the synthesis of “young” type I collagen and slows down the destruction of its own collagen and hyaluronic acid. The drug does not retain water, ideal for patients prone to swelling. Does not contour or migrate, which is important for working with thin and mobile skin in the neck area. It is completely eliminated from the body after 6 months, and the effect lasts for 12-18 months. Radiesse is injected using a cannula along the wrinkles. Radiesse reduces the depth and severity of wrinkles, brightens and smoothes the skin, stimulates the production of its own collagen and hyaluronic acid. As a result, the skin becomes even, smooth, radiant, velvety, beautiful and youthful.

Bad habits

Even daily exercise will not help if a woman leads an unhealthy lifestyle, is often overworked at work, or has bad habits. In order for a beautiful neck to appear, everything must be done in a complex manner.

Bad habits that negatively affect the appearance of the neck include not only addiction to alcohol, nicotine or sweets. The list is huge, but the main enemies are:

• Hasty head movements, sudden bends. As a result, a woman’s neck becomes deformed and the elasticity of the skin is lost. Over time, stooping may occur.
• Bent neck while working.
• Reading while lying down or incorrect posture while sleeping. These factors negatively affect a beautiful neck.

Getting rid of these habits will be the first step towards self-improvement. Fulfilling these requirements is available to everyone, the main thing is to want to change yourself and your appearance.

Which necks are considered beautiful and which are ugly?

For many centuries, in many nationalities, the standard of femininity has been a beautiful, well-groomed neck. The most beautiful is considered to be the long thin neck, which writers, comparing with the neck of a beautiful bird, call “swan”. Every woman dreams of becoming its owner.

No woman likes it when the skin on her neck begins to age. If you do not pay proper attention to it and do not take care of this part of the body, then age-related changes will begin to appear on it that cannot be disguised and are quite difficult to get rid of. For example, the so-called “rings of Venus” are deep wrinkles that resemble a ring worn around the neck, or a double chin (an accumulation of fat under the chin that forms an unsightly sagging fold).

Why does a double chin appear?

It is generally believed that extra chins are caused solely by excess weight. There is some truth here: fat easily accumulates in this area, it is distributed unevenly here and is very difficult to lose when losing weight.

That's why it's so important not to gain excess weight.

However, this is far from the only reason. A double chin appears due to the following factors:

• heredity,
• age,
• posture,
• hormonal disorders.

Tips from cosmetologists

When choosing a cream, pay attention to the composition; it is better to give preference to organic cosmetics. Although its shelf life is shorter than the usual one, this indicates a smaller amount of preservatives and the presence of natural ingredients.

Active exercises and complexes are best performed in the morning, when the body has recovered well after overnight regeneration and is ready for new loads. Massages, masks and wraps are recommended to be done in the evening or after lunch. This is the optimal period for good absorption of nutrients.

If you need to restore elasticity to the skin on any part of the body, then you should try a contrast shower in combination with skin scrubbing. You can take it at least every day, the result will be visible literally after the first week. The answer to the question of whether you can lengthen your neck with exercise is yes. But you shouldn’t expect results right away. To do this, you will need to regularly perform the described exercises and systematically change techniques.

Reception "Pinch"

Goals:

• relieving muscle tension
• soft lymphatic drainage of the submandibular area
• improvement of fluid transport in the chin and jaw line
• formation of depth and clarity of the jaw line

How we do it. We fold the distal phalanges of the index and thumbs of both hands in the form of a “pinch” and use them to create a forceps-like grip of the lower jaw in the center. We perform a continuous or dotted movement with our fingers from the center of the chin to the corner of the lower jaw. The main secret when performing this technique is a dense and slow penetration with your hands, directing all the collected tissue to the corners of the lower jaw. Next, repeat the exercise on the other side.

How much to do: 3 times on each side of the face, 1 time per day.

Lengthen your neck with clothes

Clothes are a great tool that you need to know how to use. It can hide all the shortcomings and emphasize the advantages, and vice versa - completely ruin everything. Don't blindly follow fashion - find your own style that suits you.

Scarves

Now they are worn not only in the cold season, but also in the summer as an accessory. It is better not to do this with a short neck. Of course, in winter you can’t do without a warm scarf (health comes first), but in the heat, tie it on your bag, hand, or braid it into your hair.

Turtlenecks

Reduce the distance between the head and shoulders several times. Especially if they fit around the neck. Replace them with warm pullovers. This will not only hide the problem, but will also add femininity to you.

V-neck

T-shirts, warm sweaters, cardigans - try to replace all round necklines with V-necks. This will lengthen your neck and make your neckline more seductive.

Color

The color of clothing is also an important factor. Give preference to pastel colors and avoid deep dark ones. Of course, you can still wear your favorite black pants, but keep your sweaters and accessories light-colored. The palette of shades is very large and you will definitely find something to your liking.

Accessories

It is better to replace long earrings with short ones, but buy chains that are a little longer. The fact is that earrings reduce the distance between the shoulders and ears. A necklace, on the contrary, extends this distance.
