Rejuvenating the Décolletage: Effective Treatments for Chest Wrinkles and Sun Damage by Dr. Ali Soueid
The décolletage—the delicate skin of the upper chest and cleavage—is often one of the first areas to show signs of ageing and sun damage. Due to its thin texture and frequent sun exposure, the skin in this area develops wrinkles, pigmentation, and laxity, affecting overall appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali Soueid, practising in Dubai, London, Doha, and Beirut, recommends tailored treatment plans to restore a youthful, smooth décolletage.
Common Signs of Ageing in the Décolletage Area
The chest skin is more fragile than facial skin and prone to:
- Horizontal wrinkles and “sleep lines”
- Sun spots, freckles, and uneven pigmentation
- Crepey, thinning skin texture
- Broken capillaries or redness
- Loss of firmness and skin laxity
These changes worsen with UV exposure, smoking, and sleeping positions. For detailed information, refer to the NHS guidance on skin ageing.
Décolletage Rejuvenation Treatments Recommended by Dr. Ali Soueid
Medical-Grade Skincare
Dr. Soueid emphasises daily use of broad-spectrum SPF to protect against UV damage. Topical retinoids boost collagen, while Vitamin C serums target pigmentation. Hydrating moisturisers with hyaluronic acid and peptides improve skin texture and elasticity. Patients are advised to use gentle, fragrance-free skincare suitable for the delicate chest area. More sun protection advice can be found at the Mayo Clinic.
Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Combining microneedling with PRP accelerates collagen production and tissue regeneration, enhancing décolletage skin tone and firmness with minimal downtime.
Radiofrequency Microneedling (Morpheus8)
Dr. Soueid frequently uses advanced radiofrequency microneedling devices like Morpheus8 to tighten and remodel the chest skin, especially effective for crepey skin and mild laxity.
Chemical Peels and Fractionated CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
For surface rejuvenation, Dr. Soueid employs light chemical peels with glycolic or lactic acid. More severe sun damage and wrinkles benefit from fractionated CO₂ laser resurfacing, which stimulates collagen renewal while minimising pigmentation risks. Patients can learn more about laser options in the Scar Care and Laser Treatments blog.
Dermal Fillers and Skinboosters
In select cases, hyaluronic acid fillers and skinboosters (e.g., Profhilo) are used to hydrate and smooth deep décolletage lines, restoring youthful volume and glow.
Autologous Fat Grafting
For significant volume loss, fat grafting is an effective solution to restore contour and improve skin quality in the chest area.
Prevention and Maintenance Advice
Dr. Ali Soueid advises consistent use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, inclusion of the décolletage in skincare routines, avoiding repetitive chest creasing from sleeping positions, and limiting sun exposure and smoking to maintain skin health.
