Better Together: Mixing & Matching Aesthetic Skin Care Treatments for a Perfect Combo

For the true skincare fanatic searching for complexion perfection, there’s no such thing as “too much of a good thing” when it comes to aesthetic skin care treatments. For a gorgeous glow that turns heads, stacking services at our medspa in Portland can be a convenient way to optimize your results while saving time and even a little cash when adding on treatments. 

Med spa services that encourage product penetration paired with a HydraFacial, for example, or perhaps opting for an exfoliating treatment as a pregame to a main event such as microneedling, can be monumentally helpful in your post-treatment bounce back, as well as the success of your final result. Treatment efficacy is boosted when the skin is properly prepped to receive a service. Learn more about Hydrafacials at our medspa in Portland, here!

Some professional treatments, however, simply do not complement each other. For instance, an intense light-based service immediately following a chemical peel or another type of chemical exfoliation is never recommended, as your skin is extra sensitive after exfoliation and the light can damage the skin.

Restraint and knowledge of what services do and don’t go together are best conceptualized and executed by the Certified Advanced Esthetician who knows your skin best. We encourage you to book a remote phone consultation or perhaps an in-depth, in-person consultation to discuss your goals and our offerings here.

Here are some treatment combos that go beautifully together:

Laser Genesis Treatment

This service painlessly stimulates collagen production in the deep dermis, contributing to a healthy glow and burst of firming, supportive collagen production. Laser Genesis treatments pair well with the following:

Dermaplaning

This treatment removes up to 21 days’ worth of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, allowing products to penetrate more deeply and aiding in the inconvenience of post-treatment peeling associated with some services. This is a manual service that doesn’t involve light or sensitizing ingredients, making it an awesome add-on for so many services. This treatment is $105 as a standalone treatment and drops in price to $85 when we add it to another treatment. Dermaplaning treatments pair well with the following cosmetic treatments:

AnteAGE Regenyzme Peel

This enzyme peel product relies on enzymes, not acids, to exfoliate away the top dead surface layers of the skin. Your treatment will penetrate deeper and post-treatment peeling will be reduced as a result. Our AnteAGE Regenzyme Peel pairs well with the following treatments:

PCA Chemical Peels

Precede your microneedling service with a chemical peel for a more intense treatment that both addresses the dead skin at your skin’s epidermis and aids in undesired pigment irregularities while encouraging collagen production, a healthy glow and a firming boost. 

Pro Tip: Try a Treatment Booster

Add a PCA Retinol Booster to your existing PCA Chemical Peel treatment for a deeper exfoliation. 

AnteAGE MD Brightening or Antiaging Solutions

These MD options from AnteAgeMD are intended to pair with our microneedling services to drive potent, high-performance ingredients deep into the skin while we microneedle. Pushing these key ingredients into the skin is helpful in aiding in the desired final result as well as shortening recovery time.

Both AnteAGE MD microneedling solution options utilize the highest-quality stem cells, growth factors and cytokines, made from the bone marrow of healthy adult donors. This creates higher-quality collagen than with other stem cell serums.

AnteAGE’s Brightening solution is boosted with an added boost of Tranexamic Acid and other active ingredients for a more even complexion. The Anti-Aging Micro solution focuses on delivering potent pro-healing, anti-inflammatory growth factors and Cytokines for optimal healing and a glowing, ideal result.
