The power of treatment stacking: Combining lasers and injectables to maximise your skin rejuvenation results

In the ever-evolving world of aesthetics, combination treatments are becoming increasingly popular for delivering enhanced results. One such approach, known as “treatment stacking,” involves strategically layering multiple procedures to address various skin concerns in a comprehensive and efficient manner. 

By combining different modalities, patients can experience more noticeable improvements in:

• Skin texture
• Pigmentation
• Skin laxity
• Complexion and radiance
• Lines and wrinkles

What treatments can be stacked?

At Cambridge Laser Clinic we are able to stack a variety of aesthetic and laser treatments to enhance their effects and provide optimal results. 

Commonly stacked treatments include:

• Laser Treatments: Fractional laser resurfacing, intense pulsed light (IPL), and ablative lasers can be used together or with other therapies to target pigmentation, texture, and collagen production.
• Injectables: Dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections can complement laser treatments by smoothing the look of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles.
• Skin Boosters & Polynucleotides: These regenerative treatments help hydrate, repair, and improve skin resilience, making them a great foundation for other procedures.
• Ultrasound & Radiofrequency Treatments: Ultherapy and radiofrequency microneedling can tighten and lift the skin, working well alongside resurfacing and injectable treatments.
• Chemical Peels & Facials: These can be paired with laser treatments for enhanced exfoliation and skin renewal.

How long does treatment stacking take?

Treatment stacking is delivered in a carefully planned sequence, with each procedure performed individually to ensure the best results. 

Some treatments require downtime between sessions to allow the skin to heal properly before moving on to the next step. The overall timeframe for completing a full treatment stacking plan depends on several variables, including the specific treatments involved, the individual’s skin type and response, and the goals of the patient. 

During a consultation at Cambridge Laser Clinic, our experts will create a personalised schedule to ensure safe and effective treatment progression.

Treatment stacking for anti-ageing and tightening sagging skin

Treatment stacking is not a one size fits all process and each patient at Cambridge Laser Clinic will be given an individual treatment plan to meet their unique requirements. However, you may still be intrigued to know what a treatment stacking plan might look like, so here is an example of how multiple treatments can be used together for anti-ageing purposes.

Month 1 – Polynucleotides

Polynucleotide injections are administered to stimulate cellular regeneration, improve hydration, and prepare the skin for more intensive treatments.

Month 2 – Fractional Laser Resurfacing

After the skin has been strengthened, fractional laser resurfacing is introduced to target fine lines, pigmentation, and texture irregularities by promoting deep collagen remodelling.

Following Laser Recovery – Anti-wrinkle injections

Once the skin has healed, anti-wrinkle injections are used to relax dynamic wrinkles and maintain a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Final Step – Ultherapy 

To complete the treatment stack, Ultherapy lifts and tightens the skin using ultrasound energy, further enhancing definition and elasticity.

By following this carefully curated sequence, patients experience progressive improvements with long-lasting benefits.

Who is a suitable candidate for treatment stacking?

Treatment stacking is ideal for individuals looking for a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation. The best candidates are those who:

• Have multiple skin concerns, such as pigmentation, fine lines, and laxity
• Want noticeable yet natural results without invasive surgery
• Are committed to a multi-step treatment plan for gradual improvements
• Are in good general health

A personalised consultation at Cambridge Laser Clinic is essential to assess your skin type, concerns, and suitability for treatment stacking.
