How to Combine Procedures for a Customized Aesthetic Treatment Plan

customized aesthetic treatment plan

Many people visit medical spas with a specific treatment in mind, without realizing combining treatments could bring them the best results. Creating a personalized aesthetic treatment plan can be tricky if you’re not familiar with different procedures and what they do. However, our team at Amy Brenner, MD & Associates has you covered. 

Our premier medical practice and medspa in Cincinnati strives to bring our patients’ aesthetic dreams to life. From first-hand experience, we believe combination therapies are a great solution to meet long-term goals and enhance your overall appearance. 

If you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry! From skin care to body care, we have created a full guide outlining which procedures go hand-in-hand based on your aesthetic concerns. Keep reading to learn more. 

Aesthetic Treatment Plans: Achieve Your Best Skin

 

A variety of aesthetic treatment options center around improving your complexion and helping your skin appear more youthful and acne-free. Understanding how to take advantage of multiple procedures can help you achieve the skin you’ve always wanted faster and more efficiently.

Anti-aging efforts may be harder to accomplish at home; adult acne can be tricky to eliminate, even with a great skincare routine. To complement your routine, aesthetic treatments use medical-grade products combined with top-of-the-line technology to improve your complexion. 

Different procedures aim for different results, which is why combining them can bring so many benefits. Treatment options include: 

Treatment option #1: Smooth fine lines and wrinkles 

Treatment option #2: Fade age spots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation 

Treatment option #3: Tighten loose skin 

Treatment option #4: Restore facial volume loss 

Treatment option #5: Clear away acne

Treatment option #6: Minimize the appearance of pores

For the most impact, we recommend combining treatments that target different conditions (i.e. combing treatment option #1 with treatment option #3). To create a long-term aesthetic treatment plan, diversify your procedures and try to include all treatment options for your skin needs. 

Let’s go into more detail about a few treatments to get you started. To make it easier, we’ll correspond each treatment with the numbers above. 

Botox (#1): a neuromodulator that inhibits wrinkle-inducing muscle contractions (such as smile lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet)

Dermal Fillers (#1, #4): hyaluronic acid injections designed to plump your face, fill in wrinkles, and even add lip volume

Chemical Peels (#1, #2, #5): chemical solutions that remove outer layers of damaged skin, helping reduce hyperpigmentation and fine lines

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing (#1, #2, #3, #6): a carbon dioxide laser treatment that promotes the body’s natural healing process to boost collagen, promote cellular turnover, and reduce large pores

Morpheus8 RF Microneedling (#1, #2, #3, #6): combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and promote collagen production

Pigment Laser (#1, #2): laser treatment that helps fade age spots, brown spots, and other types of hyperpigmentation from sun damage

PRP Facelift (#1, #3, #4): uses platelet-rich plasma to rejuvenate growth factors and promote tissue growth

Why at-home skin care matters

While aesthetic treatments are great, you still need to take care of your skin at home to maintain your results. This means taking time to find the right skincare products, implementing a day and night skincare regimen, and drinking plenty of water. 

Remember, what you do at home 100% impacts the effectiveness of any aesthetic treatment you receive. If you notice your results aren’t lasting as long as they should, take a look at how you’re taking care of your skin on a regular basis.

Aesthetic Treatment Plans: Gain the Body of Your Dreams

 

Non-invasive body contouring helps you tighten, tone, and reduce fat without the need for painful surgeries. Along with a healthy lifestyle that includes diet and exercise, you can reshape your figure beyond what you could do on your own. Body-contouring treatment plans can even help you with your weight loss journey! 

6 Healthy Eating Habits to Lose Weight (and Keep it Off) →

Body-contouring treatments aim to:

Treatment #1: Reduce unwanted fat

Treatment #2: Tone muscles

Treatment #3: Tighten loose skin

Treatment #4: Smooth out cellulite

While some treatments can do all three, others focus on one aspect to ensure you get the best results possible. Combining body-sculpting procedures specifically for your needs can help you get that toned tummy, contoured thighs, and firmer buttocks you’ve always wanted. To maximize your results, we recommend creating an aesthetic treatment plan that includes multiple types of treatments. That way you don’t have to choose between reducing unwanted fat and smoothing cellulite—you can do both! 

How Does Body Contouring Work? →

CoolSculpting (#1): uses cryolipolysis technology to freeze and kill unwanted fat cells, eliminating them from your body for good

Evolve Body Remodeling (#1, #2, #3, #4): a body-contouring system that uses radiofrequency energy and muscle-contraction stimulation to eliminate fat, tighten skin, and tone muscles 

Z-Wave (#3, #4): uses acoustic radial wave therapy to impact collagen and the structure of your connective tissues to diminish cellulite

The importance of a healthy lifestyle with aesthetic procedures

Maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular physical activity will boost your body-contouring results. While aesthetic procedures can eliminate unwanted fat cells, those cells can still expand and cause you to gain weight. Plus, without exercise, your muscles will weaken, and you could lose your definition. No matter how many procedures you put together, combination therapy won’t do much good if you don’t take care of your body at home. 

Here are a few quick tips you can implement to make the most out of your treatments: 

Pay attention to what you’re drinking

Some people eat extremely healthy yet still have trouble losing weight. Whenever you’re counting calories, you cannot ignore beverages. A great habit to try is limiting how many high-calorie drinks you have each day.

Do something active each day

We aren’t saying you should engage in strenuous physical activity every day (rest days are crucial), but we are saying moving your body each day can have a huge impact on your health. Even if you’re not a person who goes to the gym, there are simple ways you can incorporate getting more active on a daily basis, including: 

    • Walking your dog in the morning 
    • Parking further away in parking lots
    • Taking the stairs instead of elevators
    • Playing with your kids

Find ways to limit stress

Since stress raises cortisol levels and, in turn, unhealthy cravings, finding ways to limit stress can help keep your weight down. Not everything works for everyone, but meditating, having pamper days, trying out yoga, and even speaking to a therapist can reduce stress levels.

Fill your plate with lots of vegetables

The great thing about vegetables is that they are typically very low in calories, yet high in fiber. That means you can add more to your plate without going into a caloric surplus. 

Limit eating out to once a week

If you’re a person who eats out every day or multiple times a week (fast-food included), you could be consuming way more calories than you actually think. It may be difficult at first, but if you limit eating out, you may find yourself losing weight. 

If you need extra help losing weight, Amy Brenner, MD & Associates offer a variety of weight loss and wellness programs to guide you through your journey. Our physician-led programs may include meal plans, peptide therapy, prescription medications, supplements, and regular check-ins to ensure you’re on track.
