Why Stackable Treatments by Mary Mitchell, LA

The benefits of stacking aesthetic treatments

 

If you’re a patient of mine, you know that receiving multiple treatments at one time is routine. I find that using different modalities in conjunction makes for the best end results!

I describe total facial rejuvenation in three main categories.First, the canvas. I begin by explaining why pigmentation (both red and brown) can be addressed to clear the “canvas” and end with an even-toned complexion. There can be multiple modalities (IPL, 532, laser facials) used to accomplish this result.

Second, let’s aerate the yard. The analogy I use to describe Microneedling is aerating a yard. You poke tiny holes into the ground to promote new grass growth, right? Well, the same concept is true with your skin. Microneedling uses tiny needles to promote new collage, elastin, and smoother texture. Now, add Radio Frequency into the mix, and then you’ll have tightening and lifting! Technology is awesome.

Lastly, let’s put the icing on the cake. Resurfacing makes everyone happy quickly. I love a CO2 resurfacing to address fine lines, surface pigmentation, and the shrinking of pores. It’s the perfect finish to any aesthetic treatment, hence the icing reference…who doesn’t love icing? Did I mention you see results in less than 5 days? Yeah. Makes me happy for sure.

Now that I’ve explained what I believe facial rejuvenation is, let’s circle back to the stacking concept.

Most patients address concerns in their consultation that require at least two modalities to give them great results. If we were to break those appointments down per treatment, that’s a lot of time in the chair… and a lot more downtime. All aesthetic treatments require downtime. What is downtime? A couple of days post-treatment you might appear red, swollen, bruised, etc.

My fix for great results, less downtime? Stacking!

It is perfectly safe to add the three treatments I addressed above at the very same time! We provide many numbing options to ensure your comfort throughout the process and will walk you through your post-care step by step.

Do you have a canvas that needs clearing? Maybe we need to aerate your yard, or just add a little icing to the cake. 😊 Maybe we just do it all?
