Combination Aesthetic Treatments Maximize Results
At Plush.MD we know that the secret to your best skin isn’t in any one treatment. Creating your best look requires a customized treatment plan to address the multiple concerns you are likely to have. For most patients, combining treatments that are best for them delivers natural, beauty enhancing results.
Dr. Susan Tanne always begins by asking patients about what bothers them. She will advise patients about their options but will also work on the areas that are causing them to lose confidence. “I am here to help patients feel the best they can about themselves. Natural looking ‘tweakments’ might sound like a contradiction, but that’s what more and more of us are looking for – it’s about enhancement, not alteration. I want my patients to look in the mirror and see how they feel inside reflected back at them.”
One of the most popular combinations is Botox and dermal fillers. They address the two most common, early signs of aging. Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) can stop lines and wrinkles from forming in the first place. “Baby Botox” is trending for younger patients, preventing lines from forming. If you already have lines and wrinkles, neuromodulators can relax the muscles causing those creases with results that can last up to six months. Dermal fillers add, enhance, and re-define volume, can restore the volume you’ve lost or give you plumpness where you’ve always wanted it (like your lips). Many women who are new to fillers point to their lips last, but the first place they really benefit is their lips. You can really, truly change the face with something so simple, even with one syringe.
Often, I recommend a trio of procedures starting with line relaxing neuromodulator treatment, then PDO threadlift to re-position mid and lower face laxity, followed by dermal fillers to improve volume. The results are beautiful and natural-looking with minimal to no down-time.
I always speak about three considerations when deciding on a treatment combination: surface, volume and movement. Most patients understand that dermal fillers improve volume and that neuromodulations reduce wrinkle producing movement. However, many ignore the surface.
Our skin (the biggest organ we have!) is exposed to non-stop stressors like sun damage, pollution, and debris. Luminous skin reflects light, giving a beautiful, youthful glow. Uneven skin tone, brown spots, fine lines, and small broken blood vessels reduce this youthful, luminous quality. Fotofacial (IPL combined with radiofrequency) fractional radiofrequency, medical grade skincare and sunscreen can repair these issues and prevent additional aging changes.
Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin through a specialized hand-held device which kick-starts collagen production to rejuvenate skin from the inside out. Microneedling usually requires several treatments to see results. Want a little faster gratification? Pair microneedling with PRP (platelet rich plasma) or for the newest and best result try the state-of-the art XO (exosome) Facial. The beauty of microneedling is that it can be done in all skin types and tones, even sensitive skin and darker skin tones.
Hyperdiluted Radiesse improves skin texture and elasticity and acts as a skin rejuvenator. We can treat the neck, face and décolleté, buttocks and more. It can also treat moderate to severe cellulite, resulting in skin that is plumped out, reducing the appearance of dimpling. The tone, elasticity and pliability of skin is markedly improved.
Of course, you can also mix and match these treatments for the ultimate procedure just for you. Let’s work together to design the perfect combination of treatments for you, your skin, and your goals.
