Venus rings - how to remove “unattractive jewelry”

In this article we will talk about the so-called “rings of Venus” - transverse wrinkles on the neck. Let's find out the main reasons for their appearance. Let's find out what home and cosmetic procedures help remove them. And how plastic surgery can help in difficult situations.

How to remove Venus rings on your neck

Venus rings on the neck - what are they?

The rings of Venus are transverse folds in the neck area that usually develop after age 25.

The skin in this part of the body ages much faster than on the face. But they pay less attention to this area.

But the epidermis on the neck is practically not protected by subcutaneous fat (if the person is not obese, of course), so it quickly stretches and loses moisture.

Also, folds form against the background of a small number of sebaceous glands (which means a tendency to dehydration).

Natural age-related changes (namely, a decrease in estrogen hormones, a slowdown in microcirculation processes, a decrease in the production of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid) inevitably lead to the formation of semicircular folds called “ Rings of Venus ”.

The problem is exacerbated when a person's weight fluctuates constantly. Frequent gain of extra pounds, and then sudden weight loss leads to the fact that the skin stretches and does not have time to return to its previous tone, wrinkles appear.

Wrinkles can also result from:

• hereditary predisposition;
• scoliosis, osteochondrosis;
• frequent sunbathing;
• jaw problems (for example, malocclusion);
• work activity in which the head is constantly lowered;
• frequent, intense head movements;
• improper use of cosmetics;
• lack of any care for this area.

Prevention measures: developing healthy habits

It is known that wrinkles are very reluctant to be corrected, so smart girls from a young age devote all their efforts to preventing their appearance. Don’t want to count all the nailing rings of Venus on your neck? Start developing healthy habits:

• watch your posture, and constantly, and not just while working at the computer or reading books;
• do not wear clothes with tight collars and do not tie scarves and scarves too tightly;
• try to maintain one comfortable weight so that its fluctuations do not affect the elasticity of the skin;
• do not smoke and drink alcohol very moderately, or better yet, do not drink it at all;
• do not neglect cosmetic care for your neck, it should be systematic and not occasionally;
• Don't go out in the sun without sunscreen.

Cosmetic procedures to combat wrinkles (8 options)

Since there is nothing attractive about these folds, many people have a normal desire to get rid of them.

There are many ways to combat neck wrinkles.

Remember that in the neck area there is an important organ - the thyroid gland. This is why the doctor must be careful when performing many procedures. This is especially true for hardware rejuvenation. Often the thyroid area is bypassed.

Mesotherapy

This is an injection rejuvenation technique. Involves introducing various cocktails under the skin. They may contain the following components:

• hyaluronic acid;
• elastin, collagen of animal origin;
• vitamins;
• amino acids, etc.

The cocktail is selected individually for each patient, depending on the condition of the skin and the client’s wishes regarding the result.

Mesotherapy cannot smooth out deep creases. But it copes well with excess fat. Also, using this procedure you can make the skin more elastic and improve its tone.

Dermatological surgeon Laura Schilling

Conducted by the course. Usually 5 to 8 sessions are required with a break of 7-10 days.

Thus, the procedure helps to increase skin elasticity, moisturize it at the cellular level, start renewal processes, and strengthen the connective tissue framework.

Plasmolifting (plasma injections)

The procedure involves injecting the patient's own purified blood serum.

First, blood is drawn. Then the samples are placed in a special apparatus - a centrifuge. After the device is turned on, the drum rotates inside the device at tremendous speed.

This leads to the breakdown of blood into the following components:

1. Platelet-rich plasma is used for injections.
2. Sediment.

How a cosmetologist can remove the rings of venus on the neck: the specialist performs injections into the problem area, after which the severity of wrinkles decreases, the tightness of the epidermis increases, and the skin tightens.

For a pronounced effect, you may need from 3 to 8 procedures.

Don't expect a magical result from the procedure. Yes, plasma lifting really improves skin condition, regeneration, and immune properties, but wrinkles will not be particularly smoothed out. But such a procedure will be excellent preparation before other manipulations.

Plastic surgeon Stephen Trendyville

Biorevitalization

This is another injection rejuvenation technique. Only hyaluronic acid preparations are used as a rejuvenating serum.

The procedure is great for those whose skin is dry and wrinkles have just begun to appear.

Hyaluronic acid reduces wrinkles, moisturizes the skin, retains valuable moisture and prevents its evaporation.

The result lasts from 3 months to 1 year - it depends on the individual characteristics of the body and the condition of the epidermis.

Botulinum therapy

The procedure involves injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into problem areas.

It does not smooth out wrinkles, does not fill them, does not stimulate the production of new young cells. It has a different operating principle. What is its use then?

Botox acts on the cause of skin folds. It relaxes the muscle tissue, so that it stops contracting excessively, and the folds smooth out on their own.

The technique is most often used to combat wrinkles in the upper part of the face. But it can also be used to eliminate them on the neck, as an auxiliary method.

Botox is rarely injected into the platysma area. The fact is that after such a procedure, swallowing may be impaired.

Plastic surgeon Lee Kleiman

Fractional laser thermolysis

This procedure stimulates cellular renewal. Laser beams burn moisture from the skin, thereby forming microchannels invisible to the eye.

This leads to the development of a protective reaction of the body - active cellular renewal in damaged areas.

Thanks to this, old cells are replaced by new, young ones, the skin smoothes out and becomes more elastic.

If your skin's regenerative properties have decreased, then laser procedures may not be suitable, as they can worsen the problem. In other cases, it turns out to achieve amazing results. It is recommended to initially prepare the skin. For this purpose, procedures such as plasma lifting or biorevitalization are carried out.

Plastic surgeon Richard Weistreich

If the procedure is carried out to correct minor wrinkles, then 1-2 procedures may be needed at an interval of 3 weeks.

If the lifting effect is insufficient, then more procedures are prescribed (from 3 to 6).

Bioreinforcement

The procedure involves the introduction under the skin of dense, thick gel preparations based on hyaluronic and polylactic acid.

They create a frame for the skin, stretch and support it, help keep it in shape and elastic, and prevent sagging.

The effect is noticeable immediately after the manipulation, but to obtain a lasting result, several procedures are recommended with an interval of 1 or 2 months.

The drugs Suzhiderm 18 and Belotero Soft are considered popular.

Dermatological surgeon Michael Rogers

Insertion of threads

The introduction of threads is a popular procedure today. With their help you can remove a double chin and sagging skin.

For this, conuli needles are used, through which the threads are inserted.

Local anesthesia is used. And the doctor needs about a quarter of an hour to work.

The effect of manipulation does not disappear for about 2-3 years.

If you have thick skin, then you may not get the desired result. But on thin skin, the threads can be contoured.

Plastic surgeon Adam Schaforner

Contour plastic

This is a procedure for injecting fillers. Such drugs literally fill in wrinkles.

These fillers also moisturize the skin and improve its condition. This method is considered one of the most effective.

Salon treatments to help eliminate the problem

Professional cosmetologists remove Venus rings from the neck using the following methods:

1. Biorevitalization.
2. Botulinum therapy.
3. Mesotherapy.
4. Plasmolifting.
5. Bioreinforcement.

Biorevitalization is based on the injection of special preparations (fillers) containing hyaluronic acid. The procedure ensures complete smoothing of the skin, allowing you to get good results both when the first folds appear and in the presence of deep wrinkles.

The botulinum therapy method involves injecting Botox into an area of ​​the body that is susceptible to age-related changes. After the injections, muscles relax, wrinkles disappear, and the skin becomes attractively smooth.

Mesotherapy is a popular technique that involves introducing special healing cocktails under the skin. Such preparations contain hyaluron, amino acids, collagen, elastin, and vitamins. The technique is recognized as most effective in the presence of small and medium folds.

Plasmolifting is an injection of a patient who has rings on her neck with her own purified blood serum. After several injections into the problem area, the depth of the folds decreases, skin tightness increases, and the epidermis tightens. For severe wrinkles, plasma lifting is used as an auxiliary rejuvenating method.

The essence of bioreinforcement is the introduction under the skin of thick gel-like compounds enriched with hyaluronic and polylactic acids. The procedure helps create a framework for the skin, tighten it and maintain a healthy shape. The correction provides a quick effect, but several procedures will be required to obtain lasting results.

The described methods have different validity periods. In most cases, the results obtained last for 3-12 months or longer.

Question answer

Since such arcs can also occur in very young girls, some interpret their origin and meaning in a slightly different way.
What do Venus rings on the neck mean? Palmists believe that this sign can tell a lot about a person, namely about the emotional component of its owner. For example, there is an opinion that clear, pronounced lines in young girls indicate an extraordinary character, well-developed intuition, energy and a desire to constantly improve in various areas of life. Exercise does have benefits, but it is more of a preventive measure. When there are deep creases in the neck, training is unlikely to help.

Yes, sometimes cosmetologists use the procedure of introducing fillers to eliminate Venus wrinkles. But special preparations are used for this; the technique itself is more reminiscent of bioreinforcement.

Preventive methods

Everyone knows that preventing wrinkles is much easier than fighting them. In order to avoid their occurrence, you should:

1. Eat your daily diet wisely, as the skin will acquire a sufficient number of vitamin elements, which contribute to elasticity. The amount of liquid you drink per day (at least one and a half liters) is of great importance.
2. Adhere to a sleep schedule so that the body rests as much as it needs. The main thing is to rest on low pillows.
3. Watch the position of your head and neck, do not slouch. Try to take a position so that your neck is always straight.
4. Stop drinking alcohol and smoking.
5. Control your body weight.
6. Take care of your skin using nourishing creams. At approximately 30 years of age, you can begin to systematically use masks. As a rule, they must contain exclusively natural ingredients. Don't forget about a contrast shower, which is useful for improving blood circulation.
7. Strengthen your neck muscles. You need to do the most basic exercises with bending and turning your head. However, there should be periodic implementation of classes.

Plastic surgery (platysmoplasty)

This method is used after 45 years, when, in addition to wrinkles on the neck, pigment spots form and muscle tissue loses tone. The essence of the surgical intervention is to tighten the epidermis and neck muscles.

Performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ear or under the chin. If there are fatty deposits, excess fat is removed using a vacuum apparatus and a cannula.

Then it corrects the position of the muscle tissue – the platysma. The technique may vary and depends on the degree of divergence/weakening of the muscle tissue.

In any case, the latter is pulled up and, if necessary, its edges are directed to the center and stitched.

After this, the surgeon corrects the position of the skin. To do this, excise its excess, tighten and stitch the edges. At the same time, it always leaves room for drainage. Compression bandages are applied.

The operation is traumatic and has a long recovery period. But it is very effective even in advanced cases when no other methods help.

Methods for eliminating wrinkles

Chemical peeling is beneficial at any age. The latest generation of surface peeling preparations make it possible to use them regardless of the time of year. They perfectly remove the stratum corneum, smooth the surface of the skin, making it more receptive to cosmetics, which increases the effectiveness of home and professional care.

Starting from the age of 30, it is recommended to undergo an annual course of mesotherapy or biorevitalization, depending on the doctor’s recommendations. Both of these procedures are injections of preparations based on hyaluronic acid, which is a natural component of our body and is responsible for skin hydration, but from the age of 25 its production slows down significantly. By replenishing water deficiency, they restore elasticity to the neck and reduce the depth of wrinkles. Mesotherapy cocktails also contain other components that have antioxidant properties, which also have a positive effect on the condition of the neck.

The rings of Venus (horizontal grooves) are perfectly treated with contour plastic fillers, which instantly smooth out the surface of the skin. The effect will last for about a year, then the manipulation can be repeated.

After 40 years, many are faced with the phenomenon of cords on the neck. They appear due to overstrain of the platysma - a muscle that is located under the skin in this area. Due to its hypertonicity, unsightly vertical thickenings are formed, which can be aggravated by the appearance of deep wrinkles. These aesthetic defects are perfectly eliminated by botulinum therapy. With the help of botulinum toxin injections in a minimal dosage, excess tension is relieved, cords and folds go away. Our doctors use injections of Dysport (France) or Xeomin (Germany). The result lasts on average 4-6 months.

In rejuvenating the skin of the neck, working with its quality is important. Therefore, we recommend paying special attention to such hardware techniques as phototherapy and SMAS lifting. Both of them stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, have a positive effect on its texture and can be used for preventive purposes from the age of 30.

Broadband pulsed light is used for photorejuvenation. Its flashes have a targeted effect on the desired layer of skin. The doctor, after conducting diagnostics and identifying problems, selects the necessary light wave parameters that will ensure the effectiveness of the procedure and its safety. As a result of the course, which, depending on the objectives, can consist of 3-6 sessions, noticeable tissue rejuvenation occurs - their tone increases, they become denser and smoother. It must be said that photo procedures also eliminate age spots and vascular formations, that is, they provide an integrated approach to anti-aging care.

SMAS lifting will help when the skin on the neck has lost its shape, and folds have formed under the chin, because the main function of this technology is tightening. In this case, a focused ultrasonic wave is used, which provides controlled heating of the muscular aponeurotic layer (SMAS) to 60-70 degrees. This allows you to start collagenogenesis and provide tissue tightening. There is no damage to the epidermis. Unlike phototherapy, ultrasound lifting does not require a course of procedures.

Usually one session is enough to see results. But it should be noted that the effect will appear gradually, over 3-4 months.

There are several devices for carrying out this procedure, but the generally recognized leader is Ulthera. This unit is certified by the US FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) for lifting and approved for use in the Russian Federation. Altera is equipped with a special procedure visualization system, which allows the doctor to monitor the depth of the ultrasound effect on the deep layers of tissue. According to experts, SMAS lifting is to some extent an alternative to plastic surgery.

Another method that modern cosmetology offers to eliminate the manifestations of age-related changes in the skin of the neck is thread lifting. This is a minimally invasive procedure, the results of which are immediately visible. At Come il faut, doctors use Aptos threads, which contain polylactic or hyaluronic acid, and they also have special fastening notches that ensure the creation of a durable frame. Each thread is inserted through just two punctures. Rehabilitation takes place within 5-7 days. A thread lift removes the notorious rings of Venus and makes the neck silhouette more graceful.

Home methods

The use of natural masks and creams, made independently, and massages will help stop the aging process of the skin and moisturize the skin well.

But you need to understand that such methods are more preventive than curative.

They will, of course, give an effect, but it will be less pronounced and not as long lasting as various salon procedures.

Self-massage

Massage is recommended daily using special oil.

Movements should be gentle and light, since the purpose of the massage is not to stretch the skin, but to relax the muscle tissue.

How to remove Venus rings on the neck at home using massage:

1. Apply light and quick pats to the neck and submandibular area for 1 minute.
2. Use the outer sides of the fingers of both hands to perform vertical stroking movements on the neck for 1-2 minutes.

Such daily procedures will help you learn to relax your neck muscles, eliminate pain and tension, and prevent the formation of new wrinkles.

The exercises shown in the video below may also help. But most doctors claim that they are ineffective if wrinkles have already appeared. It is better to do them as a preventive measure.

Natural masks and peelings (2 recipes)

Various home remedies will help maintain youthful skin and saturate it with beneficial plant microelements.

1. Peeling with honey and wheat bran. In this case, wheat bran serves as an abrasive component that helps exfoliate the stratum corneum of the skin, and honey deeply moisturizes. How to remove Venus rings on the neck: mix 1 tbsp. l. bran with 2 tbsp. l. liquid honey and apply the composition to the skin of the neck, massage thoroughly and rinse. Repeat 2 times. a week before bed. Instead of wheat bran, you can also use ground oatmeal or ground coffee.
2. Lifting mask with gelatin, honey and milk. After this mask, the skin will instantly smooth out. There will be a feeling of tightening, but this is the tightening effect of the mask. To prepare it, you should heat 100 ml of milk to 40 . Add 2 tsp to it. gelatin, mix thoroughly. Leave for 5 minutes for the gelatin to swell, then add 1 tsp. honey and mix again. Apply the resulting mass to your neck for 15 minutes and rinse. After this, treat the skin with a light moisturizer. Prevention

Reviews

Based on reviews and photos, you can see how women managed to remove the rings of Venus on their necks using various cosmetic procedures.

ANASTASIA, 36 YEARS OLD:

“Horizontal wrinkles on the neck began to appear after 30 years. The creams did not help, except to maintain the skin in the condition it was in. Therefore, I decided to undergo biorevitalization. After the first procedure, the skin was smoothed out, there were no hints of wrinkles.”

EVGENIYA, 27 YEARS OLD:

“Despite my still young age, I already notice the first traces of age-related changes.
I was told how to remove the rings of Venus on my neck by the Internet and reviews of different girls who faced the same problem. I decided to choose a gentle method for myself for now and did 3 mesotherapy procedures. This was quite enough for me, although the cosmetologist said that I might need 5 or more. Six months have passed, and I still don’t have any wrinkles on my neck.”

Meaning

Venus rings on the neck can mean different qualities of a person’s character and indicate certain events in his destiny, according to followers of the occult sciences. If there are a lot of folds, then palmists note that the person has good health and will live a long time . But for those who have few wrinkles on their neck, fate has prepared a short life full of illnesses and troubles.

It has long been believed that owners of Venus rings are endowed with a good sense of humor and are open to communication. Such a natural necklace was considered a sign of love of life and kindness. In addition, the neck folds in some cases were equated to a halo and indicated the holiness of the wearer.

Esotericists note that representatives of the fair sex can more often find natural necklaces than men. This is due to the fact that nature has endowed women with stronger energy and clearly defined karmic tasks.

A broken line on a woman's neck indicates problems with reproductive function. Experts note that in this case it will be difficult for a girl to get pregnant and give birth. A bad symbol is also 2 identical wrinkles located next to each other. Such a mark indicates a serious danger that threatens the wearer.

Sorcerers believe that the rings of Venus on the wrists can identify a person endowed with magical abilities. The closer and thicker the first line of wrinkles is to the palm, the stronger its owner. As for the neck of sorcerers, it is usually smooth with a minimum of pronounced wrinkles. People with beautiful flexible necks have long been endowed with the ability to quickly navigate a situation and not be afraid of new things.

Representatives of official medicine believe that the Venus necklace on the neck indicates weak muscle tone of the platysma , which is not attached to bone tissue, and therefore sag faster. In addition, doctors believe that by some signs it is possible to identify congenital or acquired diseases using such rings.
