The Perks of Combining Cosmetic Procedures

Can’t decide between two or more cosmetic procedures? Great news: you may not have to. There are many benefits to combining cosmetic treatments, provided they are all a good fit for your specific skin type and concerns. 

Take a look at the top three reasons to combine cosmetic treatments, plus see some of the best cosmetic procedure combos.

Shorter Recovery Times

Most cosmetic treatments come with a fairly short, if any, recovery period during which swelling and bruising will gradually diminish, revealing your final results. However, if you combine similar treatments, you can wrap two recovery periods into one. 

Injectables like BOTOX® and dermal fillers are a great example. Both of these treatments can cause minor swelling and bruising that can take up to two weeks to fully diminish. When combined, you’ll only need to wait one two-week period to see your final result.

More Comprehensive Treatment

Often, combining cosmetic treatments can enhance your overall results. Liposuction paired with nonsurgical skin tightening such as BodyTite™ radiofrequency skin tightening offers the best of both worlds: removing unwanted fat while tightening and toning your skin.

Treat two cosmetic concerns at the same time by pairing treatments like liposuction and nonsurgical skin tightening.

Longer-Lasting Results

Certain cosmetic procedure combinations also allow for longer-lasting results than with just a single procedure. Many laser and radiofrequency treatment combos, such as Morpheus8 and Lumecca® IPL, offer this benefit, as each one is able to stimulate collagen and cell renewal in a unique way.
