We are, it seems, collectively turning our eyes downward and realizing...one of these things is not like the other. Dermatologists and surgeons are noting a tremendous upswing in requests for anti-aging interventions below the jaw, from erasing forearm freckles to de-wrinkling crepe-textured ankles to re-plumping thin-skinned hands. "It's not as if we have new technology or treatments to address these issues," says Dr. Robert Anolik, who practices at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, "but people are more aware of what can be done to improve skin on the body-whether it's from reading about some of these procedures in magazines or seeing them on TikTok-and there's a big wave of interest." Essentially, anything that can be injected into or directed at the face is now being used elsewhere: microneedling on the stomach, hyaluronic acid in the derriere and the soles of the feet, radiofrequency on the thighs, you name it.
