Treating the Neck, Chest & Jawline With Dr. Ardalan
Wednesday, 11 November, 2026
The neck and chest are often the first areas to show signs of aging, yet they're some of the most overlooked parts of our skincare and aesthetic routines. In this episode of More Than A Pretty Face, Dr. Azi sits down with Dr. Ardalan to discuss how to approach these areas and the treatments that can help restore skin quality, definition, and a more youthful appearance. Together, they explore biostimulators like Radiesse and Sculptra, jawline and chin filler, Botox for neck bands, and non-surgical options for improving skin laxity. They also discuss how GLP-1 medications are changing the aesthetics landscape, from hair shedding and facial volume loss to the growing number of men seeking aesthetic treatments. From treating the neck and chest to restoring facial volume after weight loss, this conversation breaks down how to choose the right treatment, why customization matters, and how small, strategic treatments can make a meaningful difference.
