Chest (Décolletage) Wrinkles: aiming for smoother, more even skin
Sometimes your face is well cared for, but your chest area doesn't quite match: lines when you wake up, thinner skin, uneven tone from the sun. It is usually the mark of many years of sun exposure and the habit of sleeping on your side. Using techniques that work on skin quality, the aim is for the décolletage to look smoother and more even. Dr. Thuel examines your skin and chooses the technique together with you, so you can feel comfortable in the clothes you like.

The essentials before you decide
How Chest Wrinkle treatment works, step by step
General information so you arrive at your consultation with a clear idea. In your case it may vary; Dr. Thuel will confirm it during the consultation.
It may be right for you if…
- You wear a low neckline and notice lines that weren't there before.
- When you wake up, you see marks on your chest that take a while to fade.
- You have dark spots or uneven tone from many years of sun.
- You take care of your face and want your chest to look in harmony with it.
- What it is
- Techniques to improve the quality of the skin on the chest: injectable hydration, biostimulators, skin-tightening devices or laser, alone or combined.
- How it is done
- Injectable techniques are applied with a fine needle or cannula. Devices and laser work on the surface of the skin.
- Advantages
- No operating room or incisions; in most cases you return to your routine the same day. It can be treated together with the face or neck.
- Who performs it
- Dr. Irene Thuel, in the clinic's office.
- Anesthesia and discomfort
- Numbing cream or none; many injectable products contain local anesthetic. You may feel pinpricks or warmth, depending on the technique; most people describe it as tolerable discomfort.
- Duration
- Usually 30 to 60 minutes per session, depending on the technique.
- Sessions
- Usually 2 to 4 sessions, one every 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the technique chosen.
- Recovery and care
- In most cases you can return to your activities the same day. Use sunscreen on your chest, and avoid direct sun and intense exercise for the first 24 hours.
- When it shows
- Improvement is gradual. It is usually best seen 1 to 3 months after completing the sessions.
- How long the result lasts
- It depends on the technique: injectable hydration usually lasts about 6 months; biostimulators, 12 to 18 months or longer. The sun continues to affect the skin.
- Who should not have it
- Not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an infection in the area, or on tanned skin if laser is used. Radiofrequency is not used in people with a pacemaker. The doctor reviews this at your consultation.
- Follow-up visits
- Between sessions and at the end of the plan, to assess how your skin responds and define maintenance.
