✨ Rings of Venus: How to Prevent and Treat Horizontal Neck Wrinkles

The rings of Venus, also known as horizontal neck wrinkles, are lines that form on the skin in this area over time. Although they are commonly associated with aging, today their appearance is also related to factors such as posture, the use of electronic devices, and certain lifestyle habits. Because the neck is one of the most exposed areas and one that reveals age, its aesthetic care has become a priority for many people.

Why do the rings of Venus appear?

The skin on the neck is thinner and more delicate than that of the face, so the effects of aging and the loss of collagen and elastin become noticeable sooner. As these substances decrease, the skin loses firmness, elasticity, and resilience, promoting the formation of wrinkles. In addition to natural aging, other key factors include:
  • Prolonged use of mobile phones and screens (known as “tech neck”) 
  • Repeated poor posture, which creates folds due to the tilt of the neck, 
  • Unprotected sun exposure 
  • Smoking, pollution, and chronic dehydration 
These factors contribute to the appearance of the rings of Venus even in young people.

How to prevent Venus rings?

Although aging cannot be stopped, it is possible to prevent or slow down the appearance of these wrinkles with some key precautions:

Neck care routine

  • Apply specific moisturizing and nourishing creams for the neck and décolletage. 
  • Include active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants 
  • Gently massage in an upward motion to activate circulation 

Daily sun protection

The neck should also be protected with a good sunscreen every morning. This prevents UV damage, which accelerates aging and collagen loss.

Improve your posture

Keeping screens at eye level and avoiding constantly lowering your head is essential to preventing premature neck creases.

Conclusion

Venus rings are a common manifestation of the passage of time and certain modern habits. Although they cannot be completely avoided, their appearance can be delayed and their appearance can be significantly improved with a combination of prevention, self-care, and medical-aesthetic treatments.
