It's that time of the year. The kids are back in school (sort of), the weather is starting to cool down, the leaves are changing, and holiday events are right around the corner.
While we may not be able to attend big parties or events this year, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look and feel your best for your smaller get-togethers with family and friends. Now is the perfect time to start getting ready to put the best you forward!
At Image Surgical Arts, we pride ourselves on providing the best and most up-to-date technologies and treatments to help you reach your aesthetic goals. Often, by combining various treatments using advanced technology and techniques, the sum of your results will be greater than the individual parts!
Let’s explore five combination treatments that can get you holiday ready!
1. Dermal filler and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Dermal filler is used to add volume, usually to the face, that has been lost as part of weight loss or the aging process. There are many areas that are popular for volume addition including the temples, cheeks, smile lines, jawline, lips, and chin.
PRP is a process in which we concentrate on the growth factors from your own blood. This aids the healing process and also stimulates the natural production of your own collagen and elastin. Learn more about the uses of PRP and how it can help you with this video.
By combining filler with PRP, you will get the immediate benefit of volume addition from the filler and the long term natural volume from your own collagen! This combination is what we often use as part of our non-surgical facelifts.
2. Hydrafacial and Dermaplane
One of our most popular treatments is a Hydrafacial. This treatment will use a device to do a “deep-cleaning” of your skin and remove blackheads, improve pore size, and can leave you with a dewy glow. Dermaplaning is the process by which we gently scrape dead skin off the treated areas to accentuate your underlying healthier skin. When these treatments are combined, dermaplaning allows for an even more impressive result with the Hydrafacial by allowing the various serums (depending on the condition of your skin) to penetrate more deeply. You can literally go back to work or play after this treatment! It is an amazing combination! And…it is pain-free!
3. Vivace Microneedling and PRP
Vivace Microneedling with Radiofrequency is another one of our most popular treatments. Vivace isn’t your typical microneedling. It uses microneedling but adds radiofrequency as well. The microneedling aspect is great for improving pore size, treatment of acne scars, stimulating natural collagen production, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The radiofrequency aspect provides skin tightening you can’t get with microneedling alone. The addition of PRP to this treatment reduces the healing time and further stimulates additional collagen production.
4. Medical Grade Skin Care and Jane Iredale Makeup

The base of the pyramid on which all other treatments should be built upon is a medical-grade skincare line tailored to your specific individual needs. Finding the right provider who is a skincare expert is the first line of defense against the natural aging process. Our skincare experts have all the tools needed to provide the best regimen to treat your individual concerns.
Jane Iredale is a natural, skin-conscious makeup line that walks hand in hand with the skincare line prescribed for you. Our in-house professional makeup artist and aesthetician can find the right combination and provide the education for the proper application techniques to make you the star of any event you attend!
5. Viveve and PRP
Women’s health is not something to be ignored. Millions of women suffer from stress incontinence, vaginal laxity, and a less than great sexual experience. Viveve is a treatment that can have multiple benefits when it comes to women’s health. This treatment can improve stress urinary incontinence by stimulating the body to increase collagen around the area of the urethra (the tube that leads from the bladder to outside the body). Additionally, increased collagen helps decrease vaginal laxity which can improve the sexual experience for both partners. PRP, when added in precise locations, can not only further stimulate collagen in the areas treated, but can lead to increased sensitivity in the areas crucial for achieving and enhancing the female orgasm. This combination is the holiday gift that keeps on giving!
Image Surgical Arts is proud to be a leader in providing multiple options to help you become the best you possible. We are so pleased to continue investing in and developing new treatments that allow our patients to feel their best both inside and out.
