Chest & Décolletage
An area frequently neglected in our skin care regime
Chest & Décolletage
Looking beautiful and healthy requires that we also take care of the appearance of our chest area, or what some refer to as the décolletage or décolleté. Many beautiful dresses and fashionable tops have low cuts that highlight the décolleté and some areas of the bust, embracing this part of a woman’s body to show a beautiful necklace or just a little more skin.
Unfortunately however this is an area which is frequently neglected during the daily skin care routine and often subjected to greater amounts of sun exposure too.
The skin on the décolletage area is more sensitive than skin on other parts of our body; it is thinner, less moisturised, has less elasticity and there is no fat tissue below. Consequently, this skin is more likely to show signs of ageing with dryness, hyper-pigmentation and age spots resulting in a noticeable contrast between the appearance of the face and the discoloured, damaged skin on the chest. Furthermore, when a woman sleeps on her side, the breasts fall together and create lines and wrinkles between the breasts and up the chest.
At The Hadleigh Clinic we have a number of different treatments that can restore a more youthful appearance to the décolletage. A free no obligation consultation will ascertain which treatment is most suitable for your needs and requirements.
Choose from:
- Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Skin Rejuvenation: is a very popular, highly effective, non-invasive treatment used to improve many skin conditions. It will remove/reduce the appearance of age spots, freckles and superficial hyper-pigmentation resulting in a more even skin tone and stimulate the production of collagen thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and leaving your skin more radiant and younger looking.

- Restylane Vital - Restylane Vital is a pure form of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that occurs naturally in the skin where it binds water to keep it hydrated. As we age, however, our natural HA loses its efficiency at binding water – leading to skin that’s drier, thinner and lacking in volume. When introduced into the skin in tiny amounts with extra fine needles –Restylane Vital simply boosts our HA levels and natural hydration system.
- ELASTIderm Décolletage System: is a home skin care treatment consisting of 2 technologies, Skin Lightening Complex and the Wrinkle Reducing Lotion. New from Obagi, the ELASTIDERM Decolletage System is the only skincare system designed to reduce age spots, hyperpigmentation (discoloration), visible fine lines and wrinkles on your delicate chest and neck area. The Obagi ELASTIderm Decolletage System corrects, restores and maintains the radiant, youthful glow of your chest (décolletage) and neck.
- Botox®: although typically used for facial lines and wrinkles, it can be used to lessen lines on the chest area too.
