In the world of modern aesthetics, more and more people are choosing combination treatments over the traditional single treatment approach. Combination treatments blend multiple complementary aesthetic treatments, in a single clinic appointment, to achieve enhanced, natural-looking results.

The combination options are endless, providing a greater opportunity to personalise your aesthetic experience. Whether you’re looking to pair injectables with laser treatments or collagen stimulating threads with topical preparations, there is a treatment combination to meet your skin needs.

But why are combination treatments gaining popularity? What makes a holistic approach superior to the single treatment? Let us break down this aesthetic movement and why it’s shaping the future of aesthetics.

 

1. Tailored to your unique beauty

Every face is different. So it’s understandable that both aesthetic practitioners and clients demand an approach as unique as each face.

With combination treatments, we’re moving away from one-size-fits-all. By combining complementary treatments, you can tailor your treatment plan to fit your skin needs. Not only this, but more than one treatment area or concern can be targeted at once, allowing you to get the most from your trip to the clinic.

For example, pairing 3D lift threads with fillers can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, add volume where it’s been lost, and lift and shape to enhance facial contours. Together, these treatments address multiple signs of aging that wouldn’t be possible from one treatment alone. By working closely with your aesthetics professional, you can design a tailored treatment plan that adopts a cohesive strategy for your complete rejuvenation.

2. Enhanced long-lasting treatment results

When treatments are combined, they can be greater than the sum of their parts.

This is most obvious when targeting a specific skin issue; take the example of hyperpigmentation. This is a common skin concern, characterised by dark patches on the skin. Our 3 step Pigment Solution™ Program can effectively reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation within 28 days.1,2

But is also effective in combination with laser treatments and peels, which work in synergy for enhanced results.2,3

This enhancement can also work beneath the skin. Think about collagen. Collagen is an  important protein that supports the skin and is responsible for its elasticity. It’s also the key to anti-aging treatments because it keeps our skin smooth, firm and youthful-looking.

There are many aesthetic treatments that take advantage of this crucial molecule - introducing Definisse™ Stimulate & Protect. This revolutionary combination uses Definisse™ Revitalise Threads to stimulate your natural collagen production, which increases skin firmness. To magnify these effects, Definisse™ [KP1]® is added. Definisse™ [KP1]® is an at-home skincare range that protects collagen from degradation by counteracting the enzymes that cause its breakdown. This dual threat approach harnesses the effects of both treatments, to boost and preserve your vital natural collagen, providing advanced anti-aging results.

By combining treatments, you can achieve impressive results, target multiple needs or focus on enhancing treatment action, to get much more from your aesthetic treatments.

 

3. Effective and convenient aesthetic treatments

Combination treatments are becoming increasingly popular because they are incredibly convenient. Nowadays, prioritising your skin and appearance around your busy schedule is more difficult, and more important than ever. Quick treatments and fast results are essential, so why visit your clinic more than once? By having more than one treatment administered in a single session, you minimise the disruption to your life, saving time and energy.

Working closely with your aesthetics professional can help by mapping out a personalised treatment plan which maximises your transformation, whilst minimising the fuss.

4. Beyond aesthetic treatments

More and more people are looking beyond the initial skin-deep aesthetic results and choosing holistic skincare. This philosophy prioritises whole-body wellness, recognising the importance of sleep, nutrition, mental health and so much more. Combination treatments are the perfect partnership to this ethos, going beyond correction, to also consider prevention and maintenance.

With holistic skincare, combination treatments can be used to shift the focus from “reversing” aging, to proactively preventing signs of aging and supporting your skin’s health.

5. Natural results for timeless beauty

Trends in aesthetic treatments are everchanging. For many, their skin goals centre around looking refreshed, rejuvenated, well-rested and naturally beautiful. With a shift from a more drastic transformation, to subtle, natural-looking results, clients are looking for a way to enhance their natural beauty without changing their unique look. Combination treatments can offer impressive results that enhance facial harmony and balance, without exaggerating individual features.

Dermal fillers are a great option for natural-looking tweakments. A frequent concern from clients considering filler treatments is looking “unnatural”, “overdone” or not like themselves. In the hands of an experienced aesthetics professional, dermal fillers can deliver subtle, natural-looking enhancements, and when used with complementary treatments, a subtle transformation that feels naturally you.

With a rise in aesthetic clients in their 20s, 30s and 40s, the holistic approach to skincare and aesthetic treatments is here to stay.

Are combination treatments right for you?

Whether you’re new to aesthetic treatments or a seasoned pro, you may have considered combination treatments. If you’re seeking effective treatments that can be customised to your needs, provide enhanced and natural-looking results and fit into your busy schedule, combination treatments could be worth considering.

As always, the first step is discussing your skin goals with your trusted aesthetics professional and working closely to craft a personalised skincare plan to deliver your timeless beauty.
