Diamond Face Lift for Face, Neck and Décolleté
Human skin is a dynamic organ that covers our body as a single piece and forms our first line of defense against environmental factors. However, while aesthetic perception usually focuses only on the “face” area, the neck and décolleté areas, which bear the most visible signs of the aging process, are often neglected. Yet, true rejuvenation and aesthetic harmony are possible only by considering the area of the face, starting from the jawline and extending to the décolleté, as a whole. Diamond Face Lift, named after the flawless and sharp lines of a diamond, is a holistic medical aesthetic protocol that aims to tighten, firm, and improve skin quality simultaneously in the face, neck, and décolleté area.
Especially in cities like Izmir, which have a high number of sunny days, fine wrinkles, spots, and loss of elasticity in the décolleté area, caused by the effects of UV rays (photoaging), can appear much earlier than signs of aging on the face. Izmir residents’ outdoor culture and social life habits cause these areas of the skin to be exposed to more external factors. Diamond Face Lift technology uses advanced energy-based systems (Focused Ultrasound or Radiofrequency) to reach the deep supporting layers of the skin (SMAS) and initiates a repair process “from the inside out” without the need for surgery.
The Importance of a Holistic Approach: Why 3 Areas Together?
In aesthetic medicine, a “Holistic Approach” is the golden rule for achieving a natural and balanced appearance. Procedures performed only on the face can create a “mask” effect if the neck and décolleté are neglected. A face that is taut and smooth, but a sagging neck and wrinkled décolletage, disrupts aesthetic harmony and reveals age.
The Diamond Face Lift protocol considers these three anatomical areas (Face, Neck, Décolletage) as interconnected. The goal is to provide a seamless, smooth, and tight transition from the jawline downwards. The energy levels and incision depths used in this protocol are specifically adjusted to the skin thickness of each area. For example, deeper work (4.5mm) is performed in the facial area, while more superficial (1.5mm – 3.0mm) and precise work is done in areas with thinner skin, such as the décolletage.
Area 1: Face and Jawline (The Top Line of the Diamond)
Aging in the facial area is characterized by the downward displacement of fat pads due to gravity and the loosening of connective tissue supporting the skin. This leads to the disruption of the youthful “V”-shaped facial oval and a square appearance of the face.
Targeted Effects
Diamond Face Lift focuses on the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) layer in the facial area. This layer is the fascia layer that is tightened in surgical facelift operations. Thermal energy sent to this layer with non-surgical technologies causes the tissue to shrink and lift upwards.
- Reducing Nasolabial Folds: Lines around the nose are smoothed by lifting the cheeks.
- Jawline Defining: Sagging in the jawline is tightened, creating a sharp line.
- Brow Lifting: With the application to the forehead area, drooping eyebrows are lifted, opening up the gaze.
2. Area: Neck and Chin (Diamond Support Line)
The neck area is like a column supporting the face, but its skin is thinner than the face and its muscle structure (Platysma muscle) is different. Horizontal lines and sagging chin caused by constantly looking at the phone, called “Tech Neck,” are the biggest problems in this area.
Chin Reduction and Platysma Tightening
The Diamond protocol works in the neck area with two different mechanisms:
- Lipolysis Effect: It aims to shrink fat cells by focusing on stubborn fat tissue accumulated in the chin area with a thermal effect.
- Muscle Fascia Tightening: It helps to reduce the appearance of “Turkey Neck” by tightening the sagging of the thin Platysma muscle surrounding the neck.
3. Area: Décolleté (Neglected Area)
The décolleté area is the most neglected area for women living in Izmir, yet it is also the most affected by sun damage. The skin in this area is very thin, has little fat tissue, and its healing capacity is lower than the face. Vertical lines (sleep lines) caused by sleeping on one’s side and sun spots are common.
Collagen Production and Tissue Renewal
The Diamond treatment in the décolleté area focuses on improving skin quality. Using more superficial and delicate applicators, “Neocollagenosis” (new collagen formation) is triggered in the dermis layer of the skin. In this way, the thin, parchment-like skin thickens, its elasticity increases, and the depth of sleep lines decreases. It provides strong repair support for the décolleté, which is exposed to photoaging in Izmir’s sunny climate.lar.
Biological Process: Renewal from Inside Out
Diamond Face Lift does not inject any external substance into the skin; it utilizes the skin’s own biological resources.
- Thermal Coagulation: Controlled heat foci reaching 60-70 degrees are created under the skin. This heat shortens existing collagen fibers (instant tightening effect).
- Wound Healing Response: The body perceives these heat foci as “areas that need repair” and sends Fibroblast cells to the area.
- Remodeling: Fibroblasts intensively produce new Type 1 and Type 3 collagen for 3 months. The skin tightens and revitalizes day by day.
Comparison of Regional Application and Full Protocol
The following table summarizes why the face, neck, and décolleté should be treated together:
| Criteria | Face Application Only | Diamond Full Protocol (Face+Neck+Décolleté) |
|---|---|---|
| Aesthetic Integrity | The face may appear younger, while the neck may appear older (Contrast issue). | Complete harmony and natural transition are achieved. |
| Lifting Effect | Limited recovery. | The face is lifted higher with neck support. |
| Skin Quality | Only facial skin improves. | Photoaging treatment in a wide area. |
| Perception of Rejuvenation | Partial rejuvenation. | Holistic and convincing rejuvenation. |
Application and Social Life in Izmir
The most sought-after feature in aesthetic procedures in Izmir is “Not Disconnecting from Social Life”. Diamond Face Lift is a non-surgical procedure, so it does not cause any incisions, bleeding, or crusting on the upper surface of the skin (epidermis).
There may be slight redness (erythema) on the skin immediately after the procedure, but this will disappear within 1-2 hours. The patient can apply makeup, return to work, or go for a walk on the Kordon immediately after the procedure. The fact that it can be applied even in the summer months (provided sunscreen is used) is a great advantage for the people of Izmir.
Who is it suitable for? Ideal Candidates
This protocol is ideal for middle-aged individuals who do not yet need surgery or do not wish to undergo surgery.
- Ages 35-60: Those with mild to moderate sagging that hasn’t completely lost skin elasticity.
- Those with Chin Problems: Those with fat and sagging under the chin.
- Those with Décolleté Wrinkles: Those experiencing décolleté aging due to sun damage.
- Those Seeking Preventive Treatment: Those who want to protect their collagen reserves before sagging begins.
Result: A Holistic Approach Against Time
In short; “Diamond Face Lift in the Face, Neck and Décolleté Area” is a modern approach that addresses aesthetic concerns as a whole, not piecemeal. It aims to achieve a fresher, firmer and more dynamic appearance by repairing the skin with its own biological power, without altering facial expression or freezing facial movements.
For those in Izmir who want to experience this holistic transformation, the Diamond protocol is one of the safest havens offered by technology. Remember, true beauty lies not in the details, but in the harmony of the whole.
