The Most Forgotten Areas in Aesthetic Medicine — And How to Treat Them
Beauty Is in the Details
When it comes to aesthetic medicine, many people become hyper-focused on smoothing forehead lines, plumping lips, or lifting cheeks — and while those areas are important, they’re not the whole picture.
The truth is, some of the most telling signs of aging show up in the places we forget to treat, like the neck, hands, temples, and even earlobes. These subtle areas often get overlooked but can have a major impact on how youthful and balanced someone appears overall.
Here’s how we can treat these forgotten zones with modern, non-surgical techniques and the right at-home care:
Neck
Frequently exposed but rarely protected, the neck is quick to show horizontal lines, laxity, and vertical banding. A combination of collagen stimulation, skin resurfacing, and strategic injectables can dramatically improve texture, tone, and firmness.
Treatment options:
RF microneedling, Tixel, microneedling, Botox for neck bands, mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid filler for tech neck lines, and Radiesse for deep collagen support.
Skincare essentials:
A daily habit of SPF, peptide-rich neck creams, and gentle retinoids or exfoliants helps maintain firmness and clarity between treatments.
Décolletage
The skin on the chest is thin, sun-sensitive, and often left out of skincare routines, making it especially vulnerable to crepiness and sun damage.
Treatment options:
RF microneedling and Tixel are go-to choices for improving fine lines and skin quality.
Skincare essentials:
Antioxidants like vitamin C, barrier-repair creams, exfoliation, and sun protection.
Temples
Hollow temples can make the upper face look tired, aged, or imbalanced. While subtle, restoring volume here brings back structure and support, especially when combined with overall facial balancing.
Treatment options:
Radiesse or hyaluronic acid filler, depending on your anatomy and desired effect.
Earlobes
A small area, but one that makes a big difference. Earlobes lose volume and structure over time, especially with regular earring use. A quick filler treatment can restore plumpness and create a more youthful, refined look.
Treatment option:
Dermal fillers to restore volume and shape.
Hands
The texture, age spots, volume loss, and visible veins on aging hands often contrast sharply with a youthful face. These signs are easily improved with a mix of collagen stimulation and resurfacing.
Treatment options:
Radiesse, RF microneedling, Tixel, and microneedling are often layered or alternated for optimal effect.
Skincare essentials:
SPF (yes, even on your hands), hydrating creams, and brightening agents like Vitamin C. help fade sunspots.
You don’t need a drastic change — just thoughtful balance. Treating these forgotten zones brings everything into harmony, so your face isn’t telling one story while your neck, hands, or temples tell another. Consistent, strategic care across all areas ensures your results look seamless and naturally refreshed.
