Treating Beyond the Face

There are so many areas of opportunity to treat beyond the face. We may focus most of our efforts on what we see in the mirror every morning, but stepping back to see the whole picture offers other areas to give some extra love.

What Areas Show Earliest Signs of Aging?

Four areas that show the earliest signs of aging are the neck, the hands, the eyes, and the decolletage. Your neck has the thinnest skin. As we age and naturally produce less collagen, this skin shows that aging first. This is when we hear about a "crepe-y" texture or skin laxity. The neck has fewer oil glands than the face which means that fine lines and wrinkles develop quicker.

The hands are our most treasured tool, but they are constantly exposed to extremes. Freezing temperatures but you need to open something finnicky? Your hands are pulled from their protective gloves. Threw a birthday party and now there are dozens of dishes? Your hands will be in and out of hot soapy water for hours. Our hands take care of everything and everyone else: they need just as much care. Most damaging, the constant exposure to the elements most often happens with no SPF application leaving them exposed and soaking up harmful UV rays.

The skin around your eyes is the second thinnest (after the neck). This delicate skin covers the hardworking muscles that blink 18,000 times a day and are constantly defending your eyes from invading dust. This skin is most prone to collagen and elastin breakdown due to constant exposure.

Lastly, the decolletage is similar to the skin on our necks in that it has fewer oil glands making it more easily affected by sun exposure. Like our hands, this area is perfectly poised to receive direct rays from above -- especially when we are living it up in the summer when UV is at its highest.

What Treatments Can Support These Areas?

Almost all of them! Depending on your distinct concerns, there is an application for nearly every treatment we offer. The best way to identify what's best for you is to book a Complimentary Consultation with our expert practitioners.

For skin concerns such as redness, hyperpigmentation, and sunspots, MOXI/BBL HEROic is literally our hero treatment. Laser and light therapies not only address these immediate concerns, but set up your skin for a healthier future by stimulating collagen growth.

Neuromodulators offer several options for treating the neck. The platysma is a large sheet of muscle that elevates and depresses the jawline and affects the appearance of the neck. From Platysmal Bands, to microtox, to the Nefertiti Neck Lift; treating this delicate area requires a careful assessment to give you your best results.

Neuromodulators are also very successful in treating excessive sweating in the underarms, hands, or feet. Tox lessens the overactive sweat glands and gives you several months of sweat-free bliss.

Radiesse, a beloved biostimulator, is ideal for areas with concerning skin laxity such as the neck, hands, chest, elbows and knees. Giving these areas a boost of collagen production and improved tone.

Microneedling is ideal for any area where increased cell turnover is needed. The neck and decolletage respond very well to this refreshing treatment. Microneedling can be used on stretch marks and scars to give that extra push toward healing.
