My Aesthetic Treatment Plan at 50: Injectables, SkinPen & Skin Maintenance

Skin & Injectables Checklist: What I Actually Do For My Own Face, Neck & Skin ✔️

Foundational Injectables

☐ Radiesse® for Face 3x per year

• Collagen and elastin stimulation
• Immediate support to avoid gauntness
• Preventative and long-game focused

☐ Radiesse® for Neck 2x per year

• Softens lines and laxity
• Improves overall skin quality
• Same strategy as face, different real estate

☐ Daxxify® (Neurotoxin) every 5 months

• Consistent results without overdoing it
• Timed around travel, training, and events
• Keeps me refreshed under bright lights & long days

Skin Quality Maintenance

☐ Microneedling with SkinPen® every 2 months (seasonally adjusted)

• Controls melasma
• Refines pores
• Softens acne scarring
• Planned around sun exposure and travel
• Neck and chest when timing allows

☐ Chemical Peels 2–3x per year

• For dullness, texture, and enlarged pores
• My cue: when I start wearing more makeup
• One already scheduled ✔️

Strategic Enhancements

☐ Filler 2–4x per year

• Conservative & intentional
• Only where support is needed

The Why

• Feel confident in photos
• Stay prepared for big events and travel
• Head into my 50th birthday feeling a-ok
• The goal is being consistent with what works for me
