Dr. Lily’s Décolletage Routine
By McLean & Potomac Dermatology | Skin Tips 2024
In the quest for flawless skin, attention often gravitates toward the face, but what about the often-neglected décolletage area? Dr. Lily emphasizes extending skincare routines beyond the face to maintain a youthful and radiant appearance. With her meticulous approach and curated selection of products, Dr. Lily’s Decolletage Routine offers a solution for nurturing and rejuvenating the delicate neck and chest skin.
Understanding the Décolletage
The décolletage, encompassing the neck and chest area, is prone to showing signs of aging, sun damage, and dehydration. Factors such as frequent sun exposure, genetics, and neglecting skin care can contribute to the development of wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and uneven tone in this area.
Skincare products tailored for the neck and chest area are crucial in maintaining overall skin health and appearance. Implementing specialized products such as moisturizers, serums, and SPF formulations designed for the delicate neck and chest skin can help combat signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. As always with skincare, consistency is key and can enhance the skin’s elasticity, and firmness.

Age Defying Sunscreen Sheer SPF 50+
Due to the thin and delicate nature of neck skin, Dr. Lily suggests using sunscreen with a high SPF for optimal protection.

SKIN TIP: Dr. Lily recommends repurposing any excess retinol intended for your face by applying it to your neck and hands!
Cosmetic Treatments For the Décolletage
Dr. Lily advocates for a multi-faceted approach to décolletage care, combining cosmetic treatments with a tailored skincare regimen. Among her recommended treatments are Platysmal Band Botox and resurfacing treatments. Platysmal Band Botox helps relax the muscles responsible for neck bands, reducing their prominence and creating a smoother appearance. Resurfacing treatments target various concerns such as sun damage, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation, promoting collagen production and skin renewal for lasting results.
