(Question) Is home care for neck wrinkles the limit? I'm considering getting a procedure.
Lately, I'm really worried about my neck wrinkles whenever I look in the mirror or take photos. I used to only focus on facial care and didn't pay much attention to my neck, but at some point, the horizontal wrinkles on my neck seemed to have gotten deeper.
To be honest, I’ve often felt that celebrities or people around me with deep neck wrinkles look older than their actual age. It was quite a shock to suddenly realize that my neck wrinkles seem to be getting deeper as well. Even on days when my facial skin looks fine, just looking at my neck makes me feel like I look older for some reason, and it’s stressful.
So, I’ve tried a lot of different things to manage my neck wrinkles on my own. First, after reading that high pillows can cause wrinkles by forcing the neck to fold, I completely switched from the high pillow I used to use to a low one. It was uncomfortable at first, but I’ve continued using it because I thought it would be better to keep my neck from folding as much. However, even after using it for a few months, I honestly don't really feel like my neck wrinkles have noticeably faded. It might help with prevention, but it doesn't feel like it improves the wrinkles that have already formed, so I was a little disappointed.
I splurged quite a bit on a neck cream that became famous because celebrity Jung Yu-mi uses it, and I’ve been using it ever since. Since it wasn't exactly cheap, I honestly had high expectations. I applied it morning and evening to my entire neck and collarbone area, massaging it from bottom to top and pressing it firmly with my palms to help with absorption. However, even after using it for a few weeks, I haven't really noticed any dramatic changes. It feels moisturizing, but I don't feel like the deep neck wrinkles themselves are fading yet.
I also tried using a neck mask. I bought and used a product specifically designed for the neck. It is a product that adheres closely to the neck and is applied for a set period of time; immediately after use, it felt slightly moisturized, but I was disappointed because it felt like it returned to its original state after a few days. Aside from temporary hydration, I hardly felt any improvement in the wrinkles themselves.
After trying this much, I’ve started to wonder if home care alone has its limits, so lately I’ve been considering cosmetic procedures. I’ve seen a lot of talk about Rejuran, Skin Botox, Ulthera, fillers, and skin boosters for neck wrinkles, but there are so many types that I don’t know what to choose. I’m also worried that I might just end up spending money without seeing any results.
Has anyone actually received treatment for neck wrinkles? I am curious to know which procedures were most satisfying, as well as the level of pain and how long the results lasted. Conversely, if anyone has seen improvement in neck wrinkles through home care alone, please share your know-how regarding products, lifestyle habits, and massage techniques.

- 01CommentsIf this is your first time, rather than deciding on a specific area first, I recommend consulting about the overall balance of your face and starting with the parts you really want to improve. Since the risk of fillers varies by area, please make sure to carefully check the medical team's experience, how to handle vascular complications, and even the products and dosage used before making a decision.120026.10.23
- 02CommentsI have tried glabellar Botox, and if the fine lines that appear only when making facial expressions haven't deeply set in yet, I think it's okay to wait a little longer. Botox usually lasts about three months, and resistance doesn't develop simply by starting early, so it's important not to get it unnecessarily frequently. If it's your first time, consult to see if a small dose is possible, and since forehead injections can cause eyebrow sagging or a heavy feeling, I recommend carefully deciding on the injection site and dosage.220026.10.22
- 03CommentsIt is recommended to start with a small amount of filler and check for symmetry and facial proportions after the swelling subsides. Typically, you can decide whether to add more after observing the progress for 1 to 2 weeks. Caution is required for the nose and glabella areas due to the risk of vascular complications, and you must immediately inform the medical staff if you experience severe pain during or immediately after the procedure, or if the skin turns white or becomes patchy.200026.10.22
- 01CommentsWith lip fillers, even adding just a little volume can change your overall impression, so I think the design is really important. You described the process in detail, including how the filler settles naturally as the swelling subsides, which will be very helpful for those considering the procedure. It really seems important to match the filler to your original lip shape and facial proportions without looking excessive.2813226.10.20
- 02CommentsI imagine you must have been satisfied to hear that not only your shoulder line but also the stiffness has decreased. Since the trapezius muscle is used extensively in daily life, it is important to consider not only the effectiveness but also any discomfort when making a decision.480126.10.16
- 03CommentsIt is said that the duration of Botox effects can vary depending on the treatment area, the degree of muscle development, and the dosage used. Rather than blindly increasing the dosage or undergoing a re-treatment simply because the effects wear off quickly, it is important to verify the product and dosage used during the initial procedure, as well as the duration of the effect. It is also advisable to consult with a medical professional to determine the interval for re-treatments based on your individual condition.1532126.10.19
- 01CommentsWhen you get Botox, the movement of the muscles between your eyebrows is reduced, so you may actually become more aware of the habit of unconsciously tensing them. While the sensation of squinting while the Botox is active does not mean wrinkles will immediately deepen, the habit of repeatedly and strongly tensing the muscles between your eyebrows can affect wrinkle formation. It would be a good idea to consciously check if you are tensing your eyebrows when looking at a computer or mobile phone, and if you experience eye strain, try adjusting screen brightness or your break times as well.983326.09.29
- 02CommentsAfter receiving trapezius Botox, you may experience stiffness for about the first week due to muscle weakness. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid upper body strength training or carrying heavy bags immediately after the procedure. Once your body adapts over time, there will be no major issues with your daily life, so please take a rest for the time being. I hope your questions have been answered.571026.09.30
- 03CommentsI totally relate to yours, as my biggest worry before getting Botox was that my facial expression would look unnatural or stiff! I definitely think the most satisfying results come from just naturally smoothing out wrinkles without being too ambitious. Just not having foundation settle between my eyebrows is truly a small but significant improvement in my quality of life. 👍 Thanks for the thoughtful review!4737426.10.06
