5 Best Cosmetic Treatment Combinations

I find that combination treatments can work together to deliver superior cosmetic outcomes. Here’s a breakdown of 5 of my go-to combos. These are pairings that I think work synergistically to provide better outcomes than either alone. But in our practice we do a comprehensive assessment and review of goals. From there we offer a treatment plan that may include multiple treatments that we combine for best results.

1. IPL + Clear & Brilliant: IPL helps improve pigment, redness, and sun damage, while Clear & Brilliant laser helps improve skin texture, pores and fine lines. Together, especially when performed the same day, they help deliver smoother skin with enhanced radiance.

2. Microneedling + PRP: Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production, and when paired with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), it can further improve textural changes, acne scarring, and can accelerate the healing process.

3. Tixel + Growth Factors / Exosomes: Tixel utilizes thermo-mechanical energy to improve skin texture, tightness, and tone. I especially like it around the eye or mouth area to help with crepey skin and fine lines. Tixel creates microchannels that can help with delivery of topical ingredients into the skin. I like to pair with topical growth factors or exosomes to maximize the skin’s healing response and help with further improvement in skin quality.  

4. Ultherapy + Radiesse: Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production in precise layers of the skin. When combined with hyperdilute Radiesse, a biostimulator that helps stimulate collagen and elastin, we can further restore natural volume and improve lines and wrinkles while working to tighten the skin.  

5. Sculptra + Skin Boosters: Sculptra is a regenerative biostimulator that works on all the layers of the skin to help restore natural volume and lift and tighten the skin. When paired with skin boosters—microdroplets of hyaluronic acid that are injected to help improve skin quality from within—the result is healthier, more hydrated and radiant skin. This has been one of my favorite combinations for many years.
