As we grow older, our skin begins to show signs of damage caused by the sun and the aging process. This damage often appears as wrinkles in the face and cleavage of women. While there are many products and procedures on the market for the face area, rarely is there ever any mention of wrinkle treatment for the chest area. Listed here are five surprising ways to help you fight cleavage wrinkles.
1. Try a Chemical Peel
A chemical peel removes the outer layers of the skin to give it a more consistent and smooth texture. Often the ingredients used in the chemical peel can also aid in preventing future damage of the skin as well.
2. Microdermabrasion
Similar to a chemical peel, microdermabrasion is used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as superficial skin discoloration, fine lines and uneven rough texture. During treatment, a hand piece is used along with sodium bicarbonate, silicone derived particles, aluminum oxide crystals, or a diamond-tip to abrade the skin. Microdermabrasion treatments are recommended twice a week for multiple weeks in order to obtain maximum results.
3. Laser Treatment
This form of treatment is performed using an ablative laser that applies heat to the top layer of skin. The heat is intensified until the skin containing the wrinkles is completely removed. Although visible improvement can be seen in as little as one to two treatments, for optimal results, multiple treatments are encouraged. This is especially true for patients who suffer from skin damage or severe wrinkles.
4. Breast Augmentation and Reconstruction Surgery
Breast augmentation and reconstruction surgery is often done to change the shape, increase the size, or alter the texture of a woman’s breasts. Saline or silicone gel implants are surgically inserted into the normal healthy breasts to improve the symmetry and increase fullness. Breast reconstruction can also help to restore the breasts to a close to normal appearance, size and shape after a mastectomy has been performed. If one breast is reconstructed, sometimes augmentation surgery may be suggested afterward for the other breast to improve size, position, and symmetry of both breasts. Both of these procedures can decrease the visibility of cleavage wrinkles.
5. Intense Pulsed Light
Intense pulsed light treatment is a form of laser treatment. However, instead of heating the top layer of skin, the second layer of skin is heated. This treatment triggers the body to heal the injured area and thus produce new skin cell and collagen growth. Intense pulsed light treatment may require several visits before maximum benefits are achieved.
If you are interested in any of these treatments that aid in reducing and preventing cleavage wrinkles, consider contacting a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon for more information. He or she can help you to decide if the selected procedure is right for you.
