Rejuvenate and smooth the neck and chest area — often the first place age truly shows.
The neck and décolletage are frequently neglected in skincare and aesthetic treatment plans, yet they are often the first areas to reveal a person's true age. Neck bands (platysmal bands) are the vertical cords that run down the front of the neck, caused by the tightening and separation of the platysma muscle. Horizontal neck lines (necklace lines) are caused by repeated flexion and skin laxity. The décolletage commonly shows sun damage, crepey skin, and fine lines. At The Shiny Touch, Paula addresses all of these concerns with targeted anti-wrinkle, skin booster, and collagen-stimulating treatments.
Platysmal bands become visible when the platysma muscle — a broad, thin sheet of muscle under the neck skin — separates and tightens with age. As subcutaneous fat and collagen diminish, the bands become increasingly prominent. Horizontal necklace lines are caused by skin laxity combined with the natural folding of the neck during downward head movement (a process now accelerated by hours spent looking down at screens — sometimes called "tech neck"). Décolletage ageing is driven by UV damage, thin skin, and collagen loss, often compounded by side-sleeping which creases the chest skin repeatedly overnight.
Paula will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and recommend the most effective treatment plan for lasting results.

The Nefertiti lift involves injecting small doses of anti-wrinkle product along the jawline and into the platysmal bands of the neck. By relaxing these downward-pulling muscles, the upward-pulling facial muscles can lift more effectively, improving jaw definition and reducing the appearance of neck bands. The result is a more refined, sculpted neck and jawline.
Yes. Profhilo and polynucleotide treatments are highly effective for improving skin quality in the neck and décolletage. They restore hydration, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin texture and firmness — results that no topical cream can replicate. Multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results in these areas.
Daily SPF application to the neck and chest is essential — most décolletage ageing is UV-driven. Sleeping on your back (or using a specialist décolletage pillow) reduces skin creasing overnight. Consistent use of antioxidant serums and retinol supports collagen production. Regular professional treatments maintain the results achieved.
Yes, when treated by an experienced practitioner. The neck has a complex anatomy with important structures including the carotid arteries and jugular veins, so precise technique is essential. Paula is trained in neck anatomy and applies conservative, precise treatment protocols to ensure safety and comfort.
