Injectables for the decolletage?

Question

what treatments/injectables can you recommend for fine lines/wrinkles on the décolletage area

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Hi @annabel13! This is an excellent question. A combination treatment is always the best approach.  Sculptra and microneedling work very well together. Sculptra is an injectable that stimulates the production of collagen and helps smoothen lines and crepey skin. I also recommend 3-6 sessions of microneedling. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

A combination of treatments is best for lines and wrinkles of the decolletage area. I usually recommend a combination of Ultherapy, ThermiTight/ThermiSmooth, Microneedling, chemical peels and at home skin care. Find an experienced physician in your area who offers combination therapy.

Like many things in plastic surgery, combination therapies are often most effective in rejuvenating the skin of the chest wall.  Sculptra is an injectable that gradually stimulates the production of new collagen and in the process smoothes the lines and crepey skin that can develop along the décolletage.  When combined with lasers or microneedling the effects can be additive in improving texture, tone and discoloration.  It typically takes 2-3 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart and downtime is minimal.  Evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist can determine if you are an appropriate candidate.

Dear Annabel, Sculptra Aesthetic has been used for fine lines and wrinkles in the Decolletage. Sculptra is poly- l-lactic acid which works by stimulating collagen in the body and lasts up to 2 years. It is like creating a thin layer or veneer of collagen under the wrinkled area.  It can take more than one Sculptra treatment to optimally correct the fine lines and wrinkles, depending on the condition of the skin. The skin in this area is quite thick. Sometimes combining Sculptra with a skin tightening device like Utherapy is beneficial. I recommend that you have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, that is highly experienced with treating the décolletage, who can examine you and determine if you are a good candidate. Best wishes, Dr. Richard Swift

The best treatment for the décolletage are lasers like Fraxel and chemical peels. Botox and injectables do not work well in that area.
