How to Treat Crepey Skin, Loose Skin & Aging Beyond the Face
Episode 88
Thursday, 10 September, 2026
We spend a lot of time talking about facial aging — but your face isn’t the only place that changes.This week on Beauty & The Brain, Dr. Chris Croley and Jerry Drinkard, NP are joined by Allie Ballew, NP, to talk about the “forgotten” areas of aging: the neck, chest, hands, earlobes, knees, elbows, and other places patients may notice changes but never realize can actually be treated.The conversation also explores an increasingly common concern after significant weight loss: loose, dry, crepey skin. Chris, Jerry, and Allie discuss what they’re seeing in patients using GLP-1 medications, why being thinner doesn’t always create a more youthful appearance, and how early treatment planning may help address some of those changes.You’ll hear their approach to options like hyperdilute Radiesse, Sculptra, NeoGen, Plexr, Ultherapy, CO2, chemical peels, PRP, PDO threads, radiofrequency treatments, and Botox — and why the best results often come from combining treatments rather than searching for one magic solution.They also get candid about downtime, complications, and an important misconception: the body isn’t necessarily easier to treat than the face. In many areas, it actually heals more slowly, making treatment selection, settings, aftercare, and realistic expectations especially important.If there’s an area that bothers you but you’ve assumed “that’s just aging,” this episode may change the questions you ask at your next consultation.Follow Beauty & The Brain so you don’t miss next week’s conversation — including, apparently, a future episode Jerry has already named “Hoo-hahs and Bootas.”
