Recently, due to the growing awareness of beauty, more people are paying attention to areas beyond just the face, such as the neck and hands.

 

Even if you brighten your facial skin tone with toning, if you neglect neck care, it can cause a noticeable difference in color between the face and neck.

 

Therefore, it is essential to care for the neck along with the face.

 

In particular, there is an increasing demand for Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers for neck wrinkles, and treatments combined with laser therapy are also popular.

 

Today, we will explain in detail how to treat deep neck wrinkles.

📌 1. Types of Neck Wrinkles and Treatment Methods
Neck wrinkles are generally classified into two types: horizontal wrinkles and vertical wrinkles.

Type	Cause	Treatment Methods
Horizontal Wrinkles	Caused by skin sagging or folds	Hyaluronic acid fillers, Botox, HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), RF (Radio Frequency)
Vertical Wrinkles	Excessive tension in the platysma muscle (Platysma)	Botox alone can improve them

 

✔ Horizontal Wrinkles (wrinkles running horizontally):
Horizontal neck wrinkles are caused by skin sagging and folds. Just like the face, these can be improved with hyaluronic acid fillers, Botox, and laser treatments like HIFU and RF.

However, since the neck contains the thyroid, blood vessels, and nerves, if the energy settings are not properly adjusted during treatment, the risk of side effects increases.

---

✔ Vertical Wrinkles (wrinkles running vertically):

Vertical neck wrinkles occur due to excessive tension in the platysma muscle.

 

This type of wrinkle can be easily treated with Botox injections.

 

By reducing the excessive contraction of the platysma muscle, the appearance of the wrinkles is minimized.

📌 2. Hyaluronic Acid Filler Treatment Review for Neck Wrinkles

 

🔹 Case ① Before and After of Hyaluronic Acid Filler Treatment

📅 2023.12.22 Before the Treatment

📅 2024.01.03, 10 Days After the Treatment

 

⚠ Side effects of hyaluronic acid fillers may include infection, bruising, and vascular occlusion.

 

This patient, despite being young, was concerned about deep wrinkles on the front and back of the neck and came for treatment.

For deep wrinkles, fillers offer quicker results and better cost-effectiveness compared to Botox and lasers, so the treatment was performed using only fillers.

 

While the filler is not fully settled 10 days after the procedure, over time, it will blend more naturally, and the wrinkles will continue to improve.

🔹 Case ② Correction of Fillers from Another Clinic (Using Hyaluronidase)

📅 2024.03.03 After filler treatment at another clinic

📅 2024.03.14 After hyaluronidase treatment at our clinic

 

⚠ Side effects of hyaluronidase (hyaluronic acid breakdown enzyme) may include bruising, swelling, and allergic reactions.

 

When using hyaluronic acid fillers for neck wrinkles, it is necessary to inject evenly across multiple layers, requiring careful treatment. This makes it a challenging procedure.

 

If an inappropriate type of filler is used, lumps (wheal) like those in the photos can form, making the appearance unnatural.

 

Therefore, it is crucial to receive treatment from a trusted physician.
