Don't Shy Away from That Sexy Holiday Dress Because of Sun Damage
During the holidays, many of us women shy away from holiday dresses with a “V” neck or a lower scoop. I know that I do sometimes. Even women in their 30s and 40s whose skin is still elastic enough to show off their décolletage, don’t. Why? Plain and simple: sun damage. Even in women’s early 20s, the ravages of the sun can wreak havoc on their neck and chest line. Whether it’s sunspots, large prolific freckling or pre-mature wrinkling, the sun’s lasting effects can influence women’s holiday dress selection.
According to dermatologists and skin experts, women of every age can experience skin changes due from sun exposure. Even women with the best of skin may see signs of early skin damage, pigmentation changes and pre-mature wrinkles. I know that I have a few spots that I am always concerned about.
The shame of it is that women who are still young or young-ish are wearing holiday outlets with a necklines that’s better suited for someone a decade older – all because of damaged décolletages. What’s unfortunate is that these women don’t realize that skin changes on the neck and chest are very treatable and they can correct a wider range of skin issues at once.
To Go Bare or Not to Go Bare
With the introduction of excel VÔ, the new laser system that is the first and only to treat nearly twenty different types of skin and vascular issues, women can see a single doctor who can use this multi-purpose laser to easily clean up their sun-damaged skin. Best of all, unlike other laser treatments, excel V requires no “downtime”.
Depending on the issue, patients may need one or multiple laser treatments, but often even those who require more than one treatment will begin to see results on their neck and chest after the first treatment. Also, the cost of cosmetic applications is often less than women anticipate. So before the holidays begin, don’t shy away from discussing décolletage concerns with a doctor.

You know, I have seen some women who have these issues and I had no clue there was help out there. This sounds pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
I am cautious on shirt choices if we will be in the sun a lot. Making sure to put on sunscreen is so important as well. I have not heard of this treatment before.
I try to be diligent about taking care of my skin, so I can wear whatever I want. Healthy skin is beautiful skin!
Never heard of this treatment before. I’m usually careful in the sun because my fathers had melanoma, but I am sure there is some damage there.
I know for many women, this is an issue that can be quite embarrassing. Thank you for posting this. I leanred a lot.
I’ve never heard of this before. I am very cautious out in the sun. My grandfather was allergic to the sun so I’ve been very leery my whole life. this sounds like a really great tool!
Skin care is so important. I share this with my friends and family. Can’t stress it enough.
Taking care of our skin and health from an early age is so important. But so good to know we have options along the way If we need some help with those issue.
I use to show a lot of my skin but now, not so much. Yes, age but also just more aware of the sun. Glad there is some type of treatment out there if ever it is needed
Very interesting read. I may need to look into this.
Taking care of yourself and looking your best is always important. Women can look great well into their 60s with the proper skincare as well as dressing to highlight their body strengths not weaknesses.
I have known a lot of women to complain about their chests for this reason. I don’t go in the sun too often, so I never really have this issue.
I have seen women who have the same problem. Good thing there is a solution to this dilemma.
This sounds like a great treatment option. I have always been really good at remembering to put on sunscreen and covering up.
I have some sun spots i would love to get rid of. I will have to look into trying this laser.
That’s definitely something to consider I hate that the decolletage shows the effects of the sun and aging!
I like to wear a bare neck area if my shirt is blingy. If it is a simple shirt I prefer to wear a silver necklace.
This sounds like a great solution for sun-damaged skin. I will have to look into it!
A lot of women have these issues. This laser system sounds great. I will share this with my daughter.
I have thought about looking into some kind of laser treatments over knife. So many great technologies these days.
