The GOLD Method™
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.
Simultaneous structural restoration addressing thin, crepey neck skin, horizontal "tech-neck" creases, and vertical platysmal muscle banding.
Multi-layered, triple-injectable protocol utilizing hyperdilute Radiesse®, Xeomin®, and Belotero® Balance.
Results typically last up to 12 months; annual treatments can be scheduled to maintain results.
Ideal for those experiencing early to moderate skin laxity along the lower face and neck, crepey skin, horizontal "tech-neck" lines, or prominent vertical bands.
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.
Radiesse is used in a diluted form to stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production.
This step:
Results develop gradually, creating smoother, healthier-looking skin over several months.
Xeomin is strategically placed to relax the platysmal muscles responsible for vertical neck bands and downward pull.
This helps:
The result is a smoother, more elongated neck profile—never stiff or overtreated.
Belotero is a lightweight hyaluronic acid filler designed for thin, delicate skin.
It is ideal for:
Belotero integrates seamlessly for immediate refinement without heaviness or visibility.
Because neck aging is rarely caused by just one factor, single-modality treatments often fall short. The GOLD Method™ delivers comprehensive rejuvenation by targeting skin laxity, muscle tension, and surface lines all in one session. The result is a visibly smoother, more elongated neck profile without surgery.
The GOLD Method™ is tailored specifically for patients noticing early to moderate signs of structural aging along the neck and jawline. You are an ideal candidate if you are concerned by thin, crepey dermal texture, persistent horizontal "tech-neck" creases, or prominent vertical platysmal bands that pull down on your lower face.
This treatment is especially beneficial for patients interested in natural-looking neck rejuvenation without the time, expense, and recovery of a surgical neck lift. During your consultation, we evaluate your dermal thickness and muscle activity to confirm that non-surgical biostimulation aligns with your anatomical needs.
Recovery following The GOLD Method™ is minimal, allowing you to resume most of your regular routine right away. You may experience localized swelling, redness, or pinpoint bruising around the injection sites. These are normal side effects that typically resolve within a few days.
You should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, and alcohol for the first 24 hours to minimize swelling and prevent unintentional spread of the injected products. Your injector will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Because The GOLD Method™ combines three treatments into one streamlined protocol, your results will unfold in phases.
Belotero® has an immediate smoothing effect on delicate surface creases.
Xeomin® takes effect over the next 7 to 14 days, easing platysmal muscle tension to smooth out vertical bands and refine your neck contour.
Radiesse® results build over 2 to 3 months, revealing the most transformative changes as hyperdilute prompts your body to build fresh collagen networks for skin that looks visibly firmer, smoother, and more resilient.
The GOLD Method provides optimal smoothing and toning for up to 12 months or longer. Annual maintenance treatments extend your results and keep your neck looking youthful and refreshed.
At Applied Aesthetic, every treatment is approached as a balance of science and art. Our philosophy centers on enhancing, not altering, your natural features. Every treatment is rooted in anatomical expertise and carefully customized for your unique needs.
The GOLD Method goes beyond quick, surface-level fixes, focusing instead on skin quality and longevity. This comprehensive protocol provides natural, sophisticated results with minimal downtime.
We believe the neck should reflect the same confidence and refinement as the face. The GOLD Method™ is designed to restore harmony, improve skin health, and age beautifully—on your terms.
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.
No. This treatment is designed for subtle refinement, not volume. Radiesse is used in a diluted form to stimulate collagen. Belotero is specifically chosen for thin neck skin and integrates seamlessly. Results are natural, elegant, and never heavy.
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.
Appointments generally take 45–60 minutes, including consultation, numbing, and treatment.
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.
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.
Downtime is minimal. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and typically resolve within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
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.
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.
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.
