The GOLD Method™
The Gold Method from MERS Aesthetics
Signature Neck Rejuvenation at Applied Aesthetic
The neck is one of the most revealing and most overlooked-areas of aging. At Applied Aesthetic, we treat the neck with the same artistry and precision as the face.
The GOLD Method™ is our signature, multi-layered approach to neck rejuvenation, designed to improve skin quality, soften visible lines, and restore elegant contour without surgery or downtime.
What Is the GOLD Method™?
The GOLD Method™ combines three expertly selected injectable treatments, each addressing a different cause of neck aging. By treating the skin, muscles, and etched lines simultaneously, we achieve refined, natural-looking results that evolve beautifully over time. This treatment is fully customized based on your anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
The Three-Step Approach
Radiesse® (Diluted / Hyperdilute)
Collagen Stimulation & Skin Strengthening
Radiesse is used in a diluted form to stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. This step:
- Improves crepey texture and thinning skin
- Enhances firmness and elasticity
- Strengthens the skin from within
Results develop gradually, creating smoother, healthier-looking skin over several months.
Xeomin®
Muscle Relaxation & Neck Refinement
Xeomin is strategically placed to relax the platysmal muscles responsible for vertical neck bands and downward pull. This helps:
- Soften visible banding
- Improve neck contour
- Prevent further deepening of dynamic lines
The result is a smoother, more elongated neck profile—never stiff or overtreated.
Belotero®
Line Softening & Hydration
Belotero is a lightweight hyaluronic acid filler designed for thin, delicate skin. It is ideal for:
- Horizontal neck lines (“tech neck”)
- Superficial creases
Belotero integrates seamlessly for immediate refinement without heaviness or visibility.

Questions? We have answers!
How is the GOLD Method™ different from a single injectable treatment?
The GOLD Method™ is a layered, multi-modality approach. Neck aging is caused by a combination of skin thinning, muscle activity, and etched lines. Treating only one concern often leads to incomplete results. By combining Radiesse, Xeomin, and Belotero, we address structure, movement, and surface lines simultaneously for more refined, longer-lasting outcomes.
Will my neck look overfilled or unnatural?
No. This treatment is designed for subtle refinement, not volume. Radiesse is used in a diluted form to stimulate collagen—not add bulk. Belotero is specifically chosen for thin neck skin and integrates seamlessly. Results are natural, elegant, and never heavy.
Is the GOLD Method™ painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable. We use topical numbing agents and advanced injection techniques to ensure comfort. Mild tenderness may occur but typically resolves quickly.
How long does the treatment take?
Appointments generally take 45–60 minutes, including consultation, numbing, and treatment.
When will I see results?
- Belotero: Immediate smoothing of horizontal lines
- Xeomin: Visible softening in 7–14 days
- Radiesse: Gradual improvement over 2–3 months as collagen develops
The full result is progressive and continues to improve over time.
How long do results last?
Results may last up to 12 months or longer, depending on your body’s response, skin quality, and maintenance plan. Regular treatments help maintain collagen and prevent further aging.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Is the GOLD Neck Method™ safe?
Yes. All products used—Radiesse®, Xeomin®, and Belotero®—are FDA-approved and administered by experienced medical professionals at Applied Aesthetic using advanced, safety-focused techniques.
Can this treatment be combined with other procedures?
Absolutely. The GOLD Neck Method™ pairs beautifully with treatments such as laser resurfacing, BBL, microneedling, or skin-tightening devices. Your provider will create a customized plan based on your goals.
How do I maintain my results?
Maintenance treatments are typically recommended annually or as advised by your provider. A personalized skincare and treatment plan will be created to support long-term results.
