As we age, our skin naturally changes. Fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of elasticity are part of the journey, but so is the decision of how to approach these changes. For some, skincare products like those offered by Caire Beauty provide the perfect solution. For others, exploring cosmetic procedures may feel like the right step.
Our Co-founder, Lorrie King, recently celebrated her 60th birthday—what she likes to call her "Sexty" milestone—with a unique experiment at a Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) event. Here’s her story and how it intertwines with the broader conversation about cosmetic procedures for aging skin.
As a lifelong skincare enthusiast and an advocate for science-backed beauty, Lorrie has always leaned on innovative products, like Caire’s Theorem Serum Boost, to keep her skin healthy and glowing. But when the opportunity to try Jeuveau®, a Botox®-like treatment, presented itself at the CEW beauty industry event, her curiosity got the best of her.
"I didn’t think I needed to do this," Lorrie admits."But as a skincare enthusiast and experimenter who had just turned 60, I thought I’d see what all the rage was about."
The experience, however, wasn’t without its initial jitters. The prospect of injecting anything into her face made her pause."After reading the literature, I had so many questions," she says."This is why drugs have indications and effects on their labels!"
But once in the capable hands of aUnion Derm dermatologist, her concerns eased. In just a minute or two, the lines on her brow were completely smoothed."It was a wow moment for me," she says."My forehead and the area around my eyes softened nicely over the next few months—and it’s still wearing beautifully."
For Lorrie, the Jeuveau treatment was a great experience and an experiment she’s happy she tried once. But it also underscored a question she continues to explore:What’s truly necessary for aging skin?
Procedures like Botox, Jeuveau, fillers, and laser treatments are increasingly popular, offering quick fixes for visible signs of aging. Here’s what you need to know about these options:
What They Do:Temporarily relax muscles that cause wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases.
Results:Smoother skin that lasts 3–6 months.
Considerations: Quick and effective, but results require maintenance.
What They Do: Add volume to areas that lose plumpness, like cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds.
Results: Instant results that can last 6–18 months, depending on the filler.
Considerations: Best for volume restoration rather than wrinkle prevention.
What They Do: Target pigmentation, fine lines, and skin texture by stimulating collagen production.
Results: Gradual improvement over several weeks or months.
Considerations: Can be costly and require downtime.
What They Do: Exfoliate the skin deeply or stimulate collagen production through controlled skin injury.
Results: Improved texture, reduced fine lines, and minimized acne scars.
Considerations: Require multiple sessions for optimal results.
While facial treatments often get the spotlight, the neck deserves just as much attention. Sagging skin on the neck—often called "tech neck" or "turkey neck"—is a common concern as we age. This area is thinner and more prone to showing signs of aging, making targeted treatments essential.
What It Is: A non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that gently heats the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production.
Benefits: Tightens and smooths skin on the neck and jawline, with no downtime.
Ideal For:Mild to moderate sagging and wrinkles.
Considerations: Requires a series of treatments for optimal results.
What It Is: Ultrasound technology that delivers focused energy to lift and tighten the skin on the neck, under the chin, and along the jawline.
Benefits: Stimulates collagen production for long-lasting results.
Ideal For: Individuals with mild to moderate sagging who want a non-surgical option.
Considerations: Results appear gradually over 2–3 months.
What It Is: Strategic injections of botulinum toxin into the neck muscles to relax platysmal bands and create a smoother appearance.
Benefits: Reduces the appearance of vertical neck cords.
Ideal For: Individuals with prominent neck bands.
Considerations:Effects last about 3–6 months and require maintenance.
Targeted Skincare
Incorporate products with retinol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and firm the neck area. For example, usingCaire’s Theorem Serum Boost on the neck can help stimulate collagen and improve elasticity.
Gua Sha and Rolling
Tools like gua sha stones or rose quartz rollers can boost circulation, reduce puffiness, and improve product penetration on the neck.
SPF Protection
The neck is often neglected when it comes to sun protection. Always extend your sunscreen application to the neck and chest to prevent further damage.
Cosmetic procedures are highly personal. They can boost confidence and complement your skincare routine, but they’re not essential for everyone. At Caire Beauty, we believe in empowering women to make informed decisions about their skin. Whether you’re curious about neurotoxins or committed to a product-only regimen, the choice should always align with your comfort and goals.
Even if you decide to explore cosmetic procedures, a solid skincare routine remains essential. Procedures like Botox or Jeuveau smooth existing lines, but they don’t address hydration, elasticity, or the skin’s overall health. Here’s how Caire’s products complement cosmetic treatments:
Hydration with Hyaluronic Acid
Our Theorem Serum Boost penetrates deeply to hydrate and plump the skin, enhancing the effects of cosmetic procedures.
Collagen Support
Procedures stimulate collagen production, and our bio-fermented peptides, that are at the heart of our entire skincare line, further support this process for long-term skin strength.
Barrier Repair
After treatments, your skin may feel sensitive. Products like our Grownup Moisturizer help rebuild the lipid barrier, ensuring your skin stays nourished and protected.
Lorrie’s Jeuveau experience highlights the importance of curiosity and experimentation in skincare. While the immediate results were impressive, she continues to champion the idea that aging isn’t a battle to fight—it’s a journey to embrace.
"For me, it was about seeing what was possible," she reflects."But at the end of the day, I still love the way great skincare makes me feel. It’s not about chasing perfection—it’s about feeling my best."
Do Your Research
Understand the procedure, its risks, and what results you can realistically expect.
Choose a Trusted Provider
Always consult a licensed professional with experience in the treatment you’re considering.
Ask Questions
Don’t hesitate to ask about side effects, recovery time, and how the procedure will work with your skincare routine.
Start with Skincare
Before diving into cosmetic procedures, try targeted skincare solutions to see if they address your concerns.

At Caire Beauty, we’re here to support you every step of the way, offering clean, effective solutions designed for women navigating the beauty of aging. However, we are not skin doctors, so please take this information to a Dermatologist and ask your questions of them as your skin is different from every other human out there.
