Can You Combine Laser Skin Resurfacing with Other Cosmetic Procedures?

Laser skin resurfacing has emerged as a highly effective treatment for enhancing skin texture and tone. But you may be missing out on many of the procedure’s benefits by using it exclusively. At Carolina Facial Plastics in Charlotte, we offer a range of treatments you can pair with laser skin resurfacing to achieve transformative results. 

Popular Cosmetic Procedures to Pair with Laser Resurfacing

Combining laser resurfacing with other treatments can address a broader range of skin concerns. Here are some of the most effective combinations:

• RF Microneedling and Laser Resurfacing: When radiofrequency microneedling treatments like Profound RF pair with laser resurfacing, they deeply stimulate collagen production. This combination is ideal for tackling deep wrinkles, skin laxity, and uneven texture.

• Dermal Fillers with Laser Resurfacing: Dermal fillers like Juvéderm®, Skinvive™, Restylane®, Sculptra®, and Kysse® can help achieve a more youthful appearance when combined with laser skin resurfacing. While the laser treatment improves skin texture and tone, fillers add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and improve skin quality.

• Neuromodulators and Laser Resurfacing: Neuromodulators like Botox®, Daxxify®, and Dysport® work well with laser resurfacing. While the laser focuses on skin texture and scarring, neuromodulators address dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more refreshed appearance​​.

• Non-Surgical Eyelift and Laser Resurfacing: Laser resurfacing and a non-surgical eyelift, which often involves using injectables, can significantly reduce under-eye wrinkles and improve overall eye appearance​​.

• Lip Augmentation and Laser Resurfacing: Combining injectable lip augmentation with laser resurfacing can lead to fuller, more defined lips and a smoother, rejuvenated surrounding skin area​​.

Benefits of Combining Procedures

Combining cosmetic procedures offers several benefits, including:

• Comprehensive Results: Addressing multiple skin concerns simultaneously allows you to fully rejuvenate your appearance in fewer visits.
• Customized Treatment Plans: Each patient’s needs are unique, and combining procedures allows for a more tailored approach to facial rejuvenation.
• Time Efficiency: Combining treatments can reduce the overall time spent in recovery compared to undergoing multiple separate procedures.
• Cost-Effectiveness: In some cases, combining procedures can be more cost-effective than undergoing them separately.

Timing and Planning: When to Combine Treatments

The success of combining treatments largely depends on proper timing and planning. It’s essential to consult with an experienced specialist who can determine the best sequence and timing for each procedure. Factors like skin type, the extent of skin damage, and the desired outcome play a crucial role in this decision-making process.

Safety Considerations and Risks

While combining cosmetic procedures can enhance results, it’s important to approach multiple treatments with caution:

• Understand Individual Risks: Each treatment comes with its own set of risks, and combining them can sometimes increase these risks.
• Customize Each Assessment: Thoroughly assessing your skin and overall health is crucial before combining treatments.
• Choose the Right Professional: Ensure you partner with a qualified, experienced professional who can safely combine these procedures.
