When it comes to signs of aging on the neck, you’re likely noticing a loss of volume, more visible neck bands, and thinner skin over time. Aging shows up here faster than the face, and an aging neck is visible in most clothing. Gold Protocol treatment is a technique to holistically improve the appearance of the neck without downtime or invasive procedures. Combining treatments allows our skilled injectors to target multiple concerns at once. By combining three transformative injectables, we’re able to trigger collagen production to restore structure and volume, while softening lines, tightening crepey skin, and improving the texture of skin on the neck.

Gold Protocol Treatment triggers natural collagen synthesis with a shorter term perk of intermediate results.

The Gold Protocol combines three injectable treatments—targeting to the root of each layer affecting visible aging on the neck. These treatments work in tandem to address concerns like neck bands, lost volume, laxity, and dehydration.

1. Radiesse® biostimulator

Radiesse (containing calcium hydroxyapatite) offers immediate volume restoration and rebuilds collagen and elastin deep underneath the surface of the skin. Results evolve over 3-5 months following treatment as collagen synthesises. Radiesse can soften etched lines, rebuild lost structure in deflated areas, and subtly lift loose tissue.

Benefits of Radiesse® for the neck include: 

• Structural support for thinning skin
• Skin tightening
• Restored volume and lifting
• Improved elasticity
• Correction that last up to two years or longer

2. Belotero® HA gel

The Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in Belotero binds to water to restore subtle, supple volume and hydration where the neck has lost fullness and elasticity. This HA gel (“filler”) has a unique formulation that blends seamlessly into neck tissues for smooth, natural-looking results. Skin is also replenished with essential moisture deep underneath the surface of the skin. 

Benefits of Belotero® include:

• Softening of fine lines and wrinkles on delicate neck tissue
• Blending and softening for a smooth look and feel
• More radiant, healthy-looking skin
• Rehydration
• Immediate results that improve and last upwards of a year

3. Xeomin® neuromodulator

Xeomin is a neuromodulator (like Botox®) that relaxes the muscles causing dynamic lines. Rather than addressing volume loss, Xeomin targets dynamic muscle movement that causes lines and prominent platysmal (neck) bands. Neuromodulators like Xeomin help soften this muscle activity and act proactively to prevent more prominent lines and banding.

Benefits of Xeomin® include:

• A smoother neck appearance in 2 weeks
• Softening platysmal bands (those vertical lines that become more visible with age)
• Preventing further folds caused by overactive neck muscles
• Lifting along the jawline as neck bands (that pull down on the lower face) are softened

Why are signs of collagen loss so apparent on the neck?

Neck tissue is thin and delicate, so it’s one of the first places collagen loss becomes visible. We all lose collagen naturally as we age (starting in our mid 20s), so signs of aging become more pronounced with time; and are especially visible on the neck. As this already-delicate skin thins further and muscle activity pulls downward, fine lines and crepiness appear, often outpacing aging on the face. When patients come to our Victoria clinic, we build a personalized plan that holistically addresses signs of aging.

By targeting the structure, surface, and movement, we can see dramatic improvements in crepiness — even after a single Gold Protocol treatment.

What results can I expect from Gold Protocol neck treatment?

Gold Protocol neck injectable technique is particularly effective in addressing signs of aging, thinning skin on the neck, and crêpiness of the neck skin. You can expect a more youthful-looking neck with subtle, natural results. 

When will injectable results appear?

Results of Gold Protocol Treatment begin to appear within 2 weeks as Xeomin neuromodulator takes effect, and Belotero HA gel rehydrates. Longer term rejuvenation of skin texture and the biostimulation from Radiesse accelerate between 3-6 months. These three treatments work in harmony to holistically refresh the appearance of the neck.
