Amanda Azzopardi

We’re at a stage in society where our faces are ageing differently to our necks. Why? Well one explaining factor could be the fact that we’re part of the classic ‘tech neck’ / Work From Home generation… but not only this… we’ve also been overlooking these parts of our bodies as a nation, despite entering the era of tweakments. 

Generally speaking, when we book aesthetic treatments, we’re treating issues that concern us in the upper third of the face… think: crow’s feet, frown lines, dark circles etc. We’re even pretty good at booking treatments to boost the health of the mid-face – think: marionette lines, loss of mid-face volume, smoker’s lines above the lips etc. But the lower third of the face – the neck and décolletage? Not so much. Which has led to a very interesting modern day conundrum, where many people’s faces and necks look two different ages!

Not only this… as we age, the skin on the neck and décolletage often begin to show signs of ageing sooner than other areas. This delicate area is more prone to wrinkles, sagging and skin laxity due to things like sun exposure, collagen loss, reduced elasticity… and the fact that many of us stop applying our skincare products once we hit the jawline. This is your reminder: don’t neglect your neck & dec!

That being said, thankfully there are several advanced non-surgical treatments available to rejuvenate the neck and décolletage without the need for invasive surgery – as well as various lifestyle measures that can be put into place to help prevent further banding, creasing and damage (think: SPF, posture and a good skincare regime!) From threads to dermal fillers and polynucleotides, Amanda takes a look at the most effective options to address ageing concerns in the neck and décolletage.

 

1. Threads

Threads are a great, effective and versatile non-surgical treatment designed to tighten and rejuvenate sagging, lax skin. They’re made of dissolvable sutures that are inserted under the skin, gently pulling the skin upwards for a natural-looking lift. Over time, threads also stimulate collagen production within your skin; further improving your complexion’s texture, tone and firmness.

Results from thread lifts at Amanda Azzopardi Aesthetics can last 12-18 months, making them a popular and safe option for those looking to restore youthful contours and definition without the downtime associated with surgery.

2. Dermal Fillers

While dermal fillers are commonly associated with facial treatments, they can also be used to rejuvenate the neck and décolletage. By nature, dermal fillers replace lost volume and smooth out the skin – meaning they’re great for reducing the visibility of necklace lines and banding. Dermal filler – rich in rejuvenating Hyaluronic Acid, work by plumping your skin; restoring volume and improving hydration.

For the décolletage, filler can also be used to address sun damage, crepey skin and collagen loss. This area can develop vertical lines and a lack of elasticity as we age, and dermal filler (or even diluted products like Radiesse) can help restore a smoother, firmer appearance to the skin. Results are typically immediate, and with minimal downtime, making this treatment an excellent choice for busy patients seeking quick yet effective results.

3. RF Microneedling

Microneedling is a staple treatment, improving a plethora of skin concerns. This minimally invasive treatment uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing process, leading to an increase in collagen and elastin production. And when teamed with RF energy (radio frequency) the results are supercharged!

When used on the neck and décolletage, RF microneedling can massively improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and skin texture. We can also combine RF microneedling with exosomes or polynucleotides to further supercharge the results, boosting your skin’s health from within, for cellular regeneration and long-lasting rejuvenation.

An absolutely fantastic example of a device that utilises cutting-edge RF technology is the newest arrival at Amanda Azzopardi Aesthetics… 

4. Ignite RF

For those looking for the gold standard in non-invasive skin-tightening – the ultimate non-surgical facelift, Ignite RF is the ideal choice. It’s a revolutionary radiofrequency treatment that stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin; delivering heat energy to the deep layers of the skin, promoting skin tightening and improved texture without the downtime associated with surgery (but delivery almost identical results!)

Ignite RF is particularly beneficial for treating loose, sagging skin on the neck, creating a smoother and firmer appearance over time. Results are immediate and can be optimised by combining with Morpheus8, improvements can be achieved with just one session – lasting up to 5 years!!! We’re so excited about this new treatment!

 

5. Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are an absolute all-rounder, ideal to rejuvenate, repair and regenerate any skin on the body that would benefit from it. This trending injectable (dubbed the ‘Salmon Sperm Facial’ by celebs such as Kim Kardashian) promotes tissue repair, enhances hydration and improves skin elasticity. When injected into the neck and décolletage, polynucleotides can help repair damaged skin, promote cell regeneration and boost collagen production – restoring lost volume and youthfulness.

This treatment is particularly effective for sun-damaged or crepey skin, providing deep hydration and a plumping effect to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin texture.

 

6. Chemical Peels

For anyone struggling with uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation or sun damage on the neck, décolletage or chest areas, chemical peels can be another great option. These peels exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing the fresher, younger-looking skin beneath. Over time, peels help improve skin tone, reduce age spots and smooth out fine lines – and they’re fantastic as part of a combination approach to improving skin health.

 

7. Medical Grade Skincare

The neck is often neglected and exposed to the elements which leads to sun damage that can appear as hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and sagging skin. This area tends to have fewer glands, is thinner and less able to retain moisture. Medical grade skincare is not just for the face, it can be introduced to the neck and décolletage keeping the skin hydrated, stimulating your skin to produce more collagen to improve firmness, texture and by exfoliating the top layer of skin this will promote skin turnover and improve skin tone. 

 

Combining Treatments for Maximum Results

A combination approach is king. Often, the most effective approach in treating the neck and décolletage is to combine multiple treatments for the best possible outcomes. At Amanda Azzopardi Aesthetics, we approach each patient’s skin health holistically; devising a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your unique skin concerns, type and goals.

 

Conclusion

The neck and décolletage are often overlooked when it comes to anti-ageing… but the good news is that there are a wide range of non-surgical treatments to help reverse this. Whether you’re looking to smooth out wrinkles, tighten loose skin or banish signs of sun-damage, get in touch to arrange a consultation today.

As we age, one of the most common concerns we encounter is the appearance of jowls (the sagging skin along the jawline), the dreaded ‘turkey neck’ and a loss of definition around the chin and submentum.

Although a totally normal part of ageing, these changes can cause our faces to look less defined; contributing to an overall tired and older-looking appearance. Fortunately, we have Amanda on hand to offer her expert advice – offering a cutting-edge selection of tweakments and devices specifically designed to combat jowls and restore a youthful, sculpted look at our award-winning clinic. Let’s take a closer look at some of the options available.

Combination Treatments for Tailored Results

A combination approach is key in achieving effective, personalised and long-lasting results. At Amanda Azzopardi Aesthetics, we understand that no two faces are the same… which is why we typically recommend a combination approach for treating jowls; looking at your face, skin, concerns and lifestyle to determine the best course of action for you. By combining different treatments (such as dermal fillers, thread lifts, skin boosters, microneedling and RF technology) we can achieve a more comprehensive result, addressing both your skin’s structure and texture for heightened rejuvenation. 

By devising a bespoke treatment plan for you, we ensure that our approach is designed to suit your unique facial structure, concerns and skin type. Amanda and her team take the time to deliver an in-depth consultation with each patient, ensuring that the chosen tweakments provide natural, subtle enhancements while delivering long-lasting results.

Dermal Fillers for Jowl Reduction & Jawline Definition

A popular and instantly noticeable treatment when it comes to sculpting and redefining jowls is the use of dermal filler. Amanda uses advanced filler placement and technique to restore lost volume in areas around the face, particularly the mid-face and jawline; shaping, rejuvenating and balancing your natural features. By injecting dermal filler into specific points along the cheekbones and jaw, we can create a lifting effect, helping to redefine the jawline and reduce the appearance of sagging jowls.

Amanda’s years’ of experience mean she is able to strategically place the filler to give natural-looking results, enhancing facial contours without creating a “done” or overfilled appearance. The procedure is quick, with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance without invasive surgery.

Thread Lifts for a Non-Surgical Lift

Another highly effective tweakment for jowls is the thread lift, a non-surgical facelift alternative that has grown in popularity due to anchorage threads’ ability to lift and tighten the jawline and revitalise threads’ ability to improve the crepiness of the skin. At Amanda Azzopardi Aesthetics, we offer Definisse Revitalise Threads; placing these premium quality threads under the skin to provide an immediate tightening effect. 

During your treatment, threads are inserted into key areas along the jawline and cheeks; which they gently pull the skin upwards, reducing the appearance of your jowls. As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen production… ensuring your skin becomes firmer and more youthful-looking. This dual effect means results can last up to 18 months, with noticeable improvements continuing even after the threads themselves have dissolved.

Radiofrequency Treatments

For those seeking a non-invasive option, radiofrequency (RF) treatments are another effective choice when it comes to banishing jowls, turkey necks and crepeiness. These treatments work by stimulating collagen production deep within the skin, using controlled energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin; tightening existing collagen and promoting new collagen growth. Over time, this results in firmer, more lifted skin… with a noticeable reduction in the appearance of jowls. RF treatments are ideal for individuals who want to avoid injections and downtime, while still achieving excellent results.

The Ultimate Creme De La Creme…

If you’re seeking the ultimate creme de la creme of aesthetic treatments to treat jowls, sagging skin and crepeiness, there’s two words you need to know. Ignite RF (from InMode.) This non-surgical treatment (which Amanda dubs as being one of the biggest trends set to blow up in 2025) focusses on the lower face and delivers an advanced, sculpted result… perfect if you’re not ready for surgery but wanting to get the next-best-thing. Utilising advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology, IgniteRF delivers controlled energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue remodelling. Its targeted approach helps to lift and firm sagging skin around the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls while simultaneously enhancing your facial contours. Over time, patients can enjoy a more defined, sculpted jawline as their skin becomes firmer and tighter.

Amanda’s Closing Thoughts…

If jowls are a concern for you, there are plenty of non-surgical options available to help restore a more defined, youthful jawline. At Amanda Azzopardi Aesthetics, our expert team is dedicated to providing safe, effective tweakments that target jowls and give you the confidence boost you deserve.

Whether you’re interested in dermal fillers, thread lifts or non-invasive skin tightening, we offer a range of solutions that can be tailored to your specific needs. Book a consultation with us today and discover how we can help you achieve a smoother, more sculpted jawline without the need for surgery.

For a lot of us, face wipes are in the bathroom, they’re essential, they’re convenient, they’re cheap. They’re a quick means of removing the grime off our faces or our makeup.

The sales of face wipes have really escalated in the last few years, and our skin is not happy about it.

Environmental Concerns 

They are bad for the environment, and over 50% wash up on British beaches. Over 35 kilometers of wipes have washed up on English beaches, littering the coastline as people throw them down the toilet straight after they’re finished.

In this mixture we’ve got antibacterial wipes, self-tanning wipes, baby wipes and cleaning wipes, all of these are going down the toilet into our beaches.

So do we really want to be swimming with this in the summer? It’s a worsening serious ecological problem, but it’s also a problem for our skin.

The face wipes or baby wipes don’t disintegrate like toilet paper, as they’re partially plastic and the polyesters can take over 100 years to break down, this also presents a harmful factor for all of our wildlife.

Make-up Wipes and Ageing Concerns 

Cleansing wipes contain drying alcohol, which rapidly ages your skin. Huge amounts of chemical components to keep them moist effective and preserved in their plastic containers. To dissolve lift and remove all the makeup off your skin and to remove the dead skin cells. Without rinsing these chemicals off, you are subjecting yourself to leaving grime and residue on your skin. This subjects your skin to an array of irritating chemicals that will sit on your skin and be absorbed into your bloodstream, as you sleep overnight.

When you use a face wipe, it’s easy to get into the habit of rubbing the eye area vigorously to remove stubborn eye makeup. The skin around the eye is extremely delicate and the rubbing motion alone will drag the skin and cause premature ageing, without even considering the potential ingredients. As well as irritation the high levels of alcohol and preservatives can cause extreme dryness, crepey skin, fine lines and really accelerate premature ageing.

Around your eyes, you need to be using products that are gentle, to stimulate circulation, to reduce fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. If you’re prone to spots and acne, you may feel you have excess oil production, and the face wipes are drying your spots out and this will improve your acne. However, it does exactly the opposite, drying out your skin won’t improve your acne, it will make it worse, as your skin will make more oil and the sebaceous oil glands will become over productive to compensate.

We need to be feeding our skin with friendly ingredients such as rosehip, black willow bark, or green tea. Makeup wipes just smear the makeup around our face with the bacteria from the dead skin cells causing irritation, due to the excessive preservatives, that prevent the microorganisms in the actual wipes from contaminating the other wipes.

Lazy Cleansing 

Makeup wipes really encourage lazy cleansing. Most people think if they remove their makeup, they have cleansed their skin sufficiently, and then they proceed to the next steps of their skincare regime, made worse by this quick, easy, convenient waterless cleansing.

Smearing our makeup and all the bacteria, all over our face, and then applying our nightly serums and moisturisers, actually just infuses the bacteria into the deeper layers and the toxins are absorbed by our body into our bloodstream. As we sleep, the dirt its trapped in and clogs the pores, which are not able to close and harsh abrasive wipes, can cause over-exfoliation of our skin.
This all causes redness, irritation, sensitivity, flakiness, dull skin and breakups. We follow all this with an acid-based toner which irritates the skin, even further. Yet, I see this happening so often, because people don’t realise the stress that they are placing their skin under.

Life is already stressful. Let’s not stress out our skin any further.

If you have any questions about skincare or correct skin cleansing routines, then please give me a call or message me.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, including several A-list celebrities who’ve openly discussed their experiences with the condition. 

Stars such as Kim Kardashian and Cara Delevingne have both openly shared their struggles with psoriasis – with Kim often discussing her experiences on social media and in interviews and Cara voicing how stressful times, like Fashion Week, can cause her skin to flare. We applaud both ladies for sharing their psoriasis experiences so openly with their millions of followers, helping to raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with the condition. Anyone can develop psoriasis – even the rich and famous. So if you’re suffering with it, remember: you’re most definitely not alone. 

What is Psoriasis?

Characterised by red, inflamed patches of skin covered with silvery scales; psoriasis is not just a cosmetic issue but a medical condition that can have profound effects on an individual’s quality of life. It affects approximately 2-3% of the UK population, which translates to around 1.3 to 2 million people. The condition can develop at any age, but it most commonly appears between the ages of 15 and 35. Although psoriasis is not life-threatening, it is a lifelong condition that can have a significant impact on sufferers’ physical and mental health.

Causes of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition, which means that the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells. This causes your skin cells to multiply rapidly, leading to the buildup of thick, scaly patches on the surface of the skin. While the exact cause of psoriasis is not fully understood, there are a few known factors that can contribute to its development, including:

  1. Genetics: Psoriasis tends to run in families, suggesting a strong genetic component. If one parent has psoriasis, there is about a 10% chance their child will develop the condition. This risk increases to 50% if both parents have psoriasis.
  2. Immune system dysfunction: In people with psoriasis, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, leading to rapid cell turnover and the formation of plaques.
  3. Environmental triggers: Certain environmental factors can trigger or exacerbate psoriasis. These include stress, infections (such as strep throat), skin injuries, smoking, heavy alcohol consumption and certain medications.
  4. Lifestyle factors: Obesity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption have all been linked to an increased risk of developing psoriasis or making existing symptoms worse.

Types of Psoriasis

Psoriasis comes in a variety of forms, each with its own set of symptoms and challenges. The most common types include:

  1. Plaque Psoriasis: The most common form of psoriasis, plaque psoriasis is characterised by raised, red patches covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells. These plaques often appear on the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back.
  2. Guttate Psoriasis: This type often starts in childhood or young adulthood and appears as small, dot-like lesions on the skin. It is often triggered by a bacterial infection, such as strep throat.
  3. Inverse Psoriasis: Inverse psoriasis appears as bright red, shiny lesions that develop in skin folds; such as under the breasts, in the groin, or around the buttocks. It can be particularly uncomfortable due to the location of the affected areas.
  4. Pustular Psoriasis: This rare form of psoriasis causes white pustules (blisters of non-infectious pus) surrounded by red skin. It can be localised to certain areas, such as the hands and feet, or cover most of the body.
  5. Erythrodermic Psoriasis: The least common type of psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis, is a severe condition that causes widespread redness and shedding of the skin over a large area of the body. This condition can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.

Treatment options for Psoriasis

While there is no cure for psoriasis, there are several treatment options available to manage its symptoms and improve the quality of life for those affected. Treatments can be categorised into three main types: topical treatments, phototherapy and systemic medications.

  1. Topical treatments: These are applied directly to the skin and include corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues and retinoids. Topical treatments are often the first line of defence in cases of mild to moderate psoriasis.
  2. Phototherapy: Also known as light therapy, phototherapy involves exposing the skin to ultraviolet (UV) light under medical supervision. This treatment can help slow down the growth of affected skin cells and reduce inflammation.
  3. Systemic Medications: For more severe cases of psoriasis, doctors may prescribe systemic medications, which are taken orally or by injection.
  4. Polynucleotides: Polynucleotides represent a promising advancement in the treatment of psoriasis. Their ability to reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration and improve skin hydration / barrier function makes them a really valuable tool in managing this chronic condition. Polynucleotides can also be used in combination with other psoriasis treatments, such as phototherapy or systemic medications as mentioned above. This combined approach can enhance the overall effectiveness of treatment, potentially leading to better outcomes.

Psoriasis is a common and often challenging condition that affects millions of people in the UK and around the world. Whilst there is no cure, understanding the causes, types and available treatments can empower those living with psoriasis to manage their symptoms effectively. As we observe National Psoriasis Awareness Month / Psoriasis Action Month 2024, let’s continue to support and raise awareness for those affected by this condition – and encourage open conversations about the impact it has on their lives.
