Treatment Combinations

01 · Popular pairings

The pairings we reach for most.

Three pairings we use most, and why the order matters.

Microneedling + LED

Synergy:

LED straight after needling cuts redness and recovery time, and supports the collagen response

Timeline:

Same appointment, then LED alone between microneedling sessions

02 · Why combine

One plan, several layers of improvement.

Most skin has more than one thing going on — texture and dehydration, or acne and the marks it leaves behind. One plan treats them in the right order.

05 · How it compares

Combined versus single treatments, side by side.

What changes when treatments are planned together rather than booked one at a time.

While individual treatments like Microneedling, Mesotherapy, or Dermalux LED deliver excellent results on their own, planning them together means each one sets up the next, and more than one concern gets treated in the same course.

Frequently Asked Questions

Treatment combinations involve strategically pairing multiple aesthetic therapies to achieve synergistic results that exceed what each treatment could accomplish alone. For example, microneedling creates channels that enhance mesotherapy absorption, while LED light therapy accelerates healing and amplifies collagen production. This integrated approach targets multiple skin concerns simultaneously for comprehensive improvement.

During your consultation, we perform a thorough skin analysis considering your concerns, skin type, goals, and lifestyle. We then create a customized protocol that addresses your primary concerns while supporting overall skin health. Factors like skin sensitivity, desired timeline, and budget all influence our recommendations for the optimal treatment combination.

Yes, when performed by qualified professionals following proper protocols. We carefully sequence treatments to maximise benefits while ensuring safety. Some combinations are performed simultaneously (like LED after microneedling), while others require specific timing intervals. Our expertise ensures treatments complement rather than compromise each other.

Combination sessions typically take 90 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the specific treatments included. While longer than individual treatments, this approach is more time-efficient than booking separate appointments. We structure sessions to minimize your time commitment while maximizing results through strategic treatment sequencing.

Surprisingly, many combination protocols actually reduce overall downtime compared to separate treatments. For instance, LED therapy post-microneedling accelerates healing, potentially reducing recovery time. We design combinations to support healing and minimize cumulative downtime while delivering enhanced results.

Treatment frequency depends on your specific protocol and skin goals. Most combination programs involve sessions every 2-4 weeks initially, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-8 weeks. We'll create a personalized schedule that allows proper healing time while maintaining momentum toward your skin goals.

While combination sessions have a higher upfront cost, they're typically more cost-effective than booking treatments separately. We offer special combination pricing that provides significant savings compared to individual treatment costs. When you factor in enhanced results and reduced appointment frequency, combinations offer excellent value.

Absolutely! Every combination protocol is tailored to your individual needs. We don't offer one-size-fits-all packages but rather create bespoke treatment plans. Whether you're addressing acne, aging, pigmentation, or general skin health, we'll design a combination that targets your specific concerns most effectively.

Our signature combinations are proven protocols we've developed for common concerns like ageing skin or acne. Custom protocols are completely personalized based on your unique skin assessment. While signatures provide excellent results for typical cases, custom protocols offer the ultimate in personalized care for complex or specific needs.

Many clients notice improvements after their first combination session, with progressive enhancement throughout the treatment course. Combination protocols typically deliver faster, more dramatic results than individual treatments because they address multiple skin factors simultaneously. Full results usually develop over 2-3 months of consistent treatment.

Yes, we regularly adjust protocols based on your skin's response and evolving needs. Your treatment plan remains flexible, allowing us to optimize results as we progress. We monitor your skin's response at each session and can modify the combination to ensure you're always receiving the most beneficial treatments.

Your first session begins with a detailed consultation and skin analysis. We'll explain each treatment step, ensure your comfort, and monitor your response throughout. The session will take longer than individual treatments, but we provide a relaxing environment with amenities to ensure comfort. Post-treatment care instructions will be comprehensive to optimize your results.

Not sure what your skin needs first?

That's what the free consultation is for. We'll look, listen and suggest a sequence — or a single treatment, if that's all it takes.
