1. Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers effectively restore lost structural volume in the upper chest and décolletage.
Mechanism
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are injected beneath the skin to replace subcutaneous volume, softening creases and reducing the visibility of bony landmarks.
Benefits
- Softens fine lines across the décolletage
- Restores contour to hollowed or deflated areas
- Masks prominent bony structures
- Provides foundational support to reduce mild sagging
Procedure Details
- Local anaesthetic with cannula or needle technique
- 30–45 minutes per session
- Minimal downtime (1–3 days of mild swelling/bruising)
Ideal Candidates
- Fine creases, shallow hollows, or early volume loss
- Best combined with skin-quality treatments (see section below)
Duration: 12–18 months, depending on product and metabolism.
2. Skin Boosters, Profhilo® Body & Polynucleotides
This category improves hydration, elasticity, dermal structure, and microtexture—essential for crepey or sun-damaged chest skin.
Mechanism
- Skin Boosters & Profhilo Body®: High-concentration hyaluronic acid spreads through tissue, enhancing hydration and stimulating collagen and elastin.
- Polynucleotides: Improve skin thickness, repair, and regenerative capacity rather than hydration.
Benefits
- Smooth crepey, wrinkled texture
- Improve elasticity and firmness
- Enhance tone and hydration
- Strengthen skin to support dermal fillers
Procedure Details
- Multiple small injections across the décolletage
- Minimal discomfort; mild redness/swelling for 24–48 hours
- Best delivered in 2–3 sessions, 1 month apart
Ideal Candidates
- Thin, crepey, dehydrated skin
- Early to moderate photoageing
- Excellent combination with fillers or Endolift
Duration: 6–12 months; annual maintenance recommended.
3. Endolift®
Endolift® is a minimally invasive laser treatment that provides skin tightening and collagen stimulation for the chest.
Mechanism
A fine laser fibre is inserted beneath the skin to remodel collagen and elastin, tighten lax tissue, and, if needed, subtly contour small pockets of subcutaneous fat.
Benefits
- Tightens mildly lax or crepey skin
- Improves overall chest contour
- Enhances the effect of volume-based treatments
- Gradual improvement for a natural outcome
Procedure Details
- Performed under local anaesthetic
- Mild swelling/redness for 2–3 days
- Results develop over 4–6 weeks as collagen remodels
Ideal Candidates
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Thin, wrinkly chest skin
- Particularly effective when combined with fillers and skin-quality injectables
4. Fat Grafting (Surgical Option)
Fat grafting is a surgical volume-restoration procedure for patients with significant hollows or chest deflation.
Mechanism
Fat is harvested from another body area, purified, and re-injected into the chest to restore natural volume and contour.
Benefits
- Long-lasting, natural-looking volume
- Ideal for severe volume loss or post-weight-loss deflation
- Supports the skin and reduces visible folds
Procedure Details
- Performed under local anaesthetic or sedation
- Swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
- Final results visible at 4–6 months
Ideal Candidates
- Significant hollowing or deep depressions
- Those wanting a long-lasting, surgical solution
5. Combination Strategy
The best outcomes often come from layering treatments, addressing both the skin and deeper structures:
- Volume: Dermal fillers or surgical fat grafting
- Skin quality: Profhilo Body, skin boosters, polynucleotides
- Structural tightening: Endolift®
This approach restores contour, improves elasticity, reduces creping, and enhances long-term rejuvenation.
