Introduction

In the evolving world of aesthetic medicine, patients are seeking more than just simple, one-dimensional treatments. The demand is growing for solutions that address multiple skin concerns—tightening, hydration, elasticity, and radiance—all at once. This has led to the rise of combination therapies, where two or more procedures are performed together to achieve superior results. One of the most popular combinations is the pairing of lifting treatments with skin boosters.

The concept is simple yet effective: while treatments like Titanium Lifting target sagging skin and contour the face, skin boosters such as Juvelook provide deep hydration, improve skin texture, and restore that youthful glow. When done together by skilled professionals, these treatments offer a holistic approach to anti-aging.

But how safe is this combination? Is it truly effective? And who is the right candidate for this dual therapy? In this article, we explore everything you need to know, including insights from experts and real patient case studies, including those from PLAN;S Clinic, a leader in combination aesthetic treatments.

What Are Lifting Treatments?

Lifting treatments refer to non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures designed to improve skin laxity, reduce sagging, and enhance facial contours. Modern alternatives to surgical facelifts, these treatments use advanced technologies like Titanium Lifting, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), and radiofrequency (RF) therapy. These methods stimulate the deeper layers of the skin, targeting the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system)—the same layer addressed in surgical facelifts—triggering collagen production and causing the skin to naturally tighten and lift over time.

Results from lifting treatments typically take 2–3 months to fully show, and they can last up to a year or longer with proper maintenance. Common treatment areas include the jawline, cheeks, neck, and brow, and these procedures are most popular among individuals in their late 20s to 50s who want a sculpted, youthful appearance without surgery or extended downtime.

At PLAN;S Clinic, lifting treatments are personalized to each patient’s unique skin type and goals. The team tailors energy levels and techniques to ensure optimal results with minimal discomfort.

What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters focus on improving skin hydration, texture, and elasticity. These injectable treatments deliver ingredients like hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides, and collagen stimulators directly into the dermis, where they help restore moisture and regenerate skin from within.

One of the most advanced products in this category is Juvelook, which combines PDLLA (Poly-D,L-lactic acid) with hyaluronic acid. This combination acts as both a biostimulatory agent and a hydrating component, offering long-term improvements in skin elasticity, texture, and radiance. Juvelook is ideal for treating fine lines, enlarged pores, and dull skin, especially in delicate areas such as under the eyes and cheeks.

Skin boosters are often referred to as “injectable skincare” because they work at the cellular level to enhance skin quality, unlike topical creams and serums that only target the surface. Results typically become visible within 5–7 days, with the full effects appearing over several weeks.

Why Combine Lifting Treatments and Skin Boosters?

The combination of lifting treatments and skin boosters provides a synergistic effect, addressing multiple skin concerns at once. Lifting treatments tighten the skin and improve facial contours, while skin boosters hydrate and rejuvenate the surface layers. Together, these procedures create a comprehensive anti-aging solution, targeting everything from volume loss and dryness to skin laxity.

This combination is particularly effective for patients who are in the early stages of aging and want to avoid more invasive interventions. Rather than relying on separate treatments, patients can achieve a natural, long-lasting rejuvenation in a single, customized therapy plan.

Combining treatments can also reduce the number of clinic visits, and in some cases, the procedures can be performed in one session after a careful skin assessment.

The Science Behind Combining Lifting Treatments and Skin Boosters

The scientific foundation for combining lifting treatments and skin boosters is based on the complex nature of skin aging, which involves both structural degradation (loss of collagen and elastin) and surface-level changes (dehydration, fine lines). Addressing only one aspect often results in incomplete or short-term improvements.

Lifting treatments like HIFU or Titanium Lifting work by stimulating the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and lifting sagging tissues. On the other hand, skin boosters like Juvelook hydrate the surface layers, improving skin texture and elasticity.

When used together, these treatments enhance each other’s effects. For example, the newly lifted skin, with its improved collagen structure, is better able to absorb and retain the hydrating agents in skin boosters. Likewise, hydrated skin supports the lifting energy, allowing for better elasticity and firmness.

Studies published in reputable dermatology journals, such as the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology and Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, have confirmed the safety and efficacy of combining energy-based devices with injectable biostimulants in clinical settings.

Scheduling the Treatments: Same Day or Staged Sessions?

Patients often wonder if lifting treatments and skin boosters can be done in a single session. The answer depends on the individual’s skin condition, treatment type, and medical history.

For healthy skin without sensitivities, treatments like Titanium Lifting and Juvelook can often be performed in the same session, with the lifting procedure done first, followed by skin booster injections. For individuals with sensitive skin, treatments may be staged—lifting first, followed by boosters 1–2 weeks later—to give the skin time to adjust.

At PLAN;S Clinic, every patient undergoes a thorough pre-treatment evaluation, including skin elasticity and hydration assessments, to determine the best treatment timeline for maximum safety and results.

Safety Considerations and Patient Assessment

Safety is paramount when combining two advanced aesthetic treatments. At PLAN;S Clinic, patient safety begins with a detailed consultation and comprehensive skin analysis to assess suitability for the combination treatment.

Key safety protocols include:

• Reviewing medical history, including allergies, autoimmune conditions, and prior skin issues

• Skin analysis using imaging tools to evaluate hydration, elasticity, and dermal thickness

• Careful mapping of treatment areas to ensure even distribution and avoid over-stimulation

Certain conditions, such as active skin infections, pregnancy, or use of blood thinners, may contraindicate these treatments. All procedures are performed by licensed medical professionals, using FDA- and KFDA-approved devices and products.

Benefits of the Combined Approach

The dual-layer rejuvenation offered by combining lifting and skin boosters provides a holistic approach to facial aesthetics:

• Structural rejuvenation: Collagen tightening and lifting

• Surface-level rejuvenation: Hydration, glow, and texture improvement

Patients often experience significant improvements in:

• Facial contours (e.g., firmer jawline, more defined cheekbones)

• Skin quality (e.g., smaller pores, smoother texture)

• Overall radiance (e.g., youthful, glowing appearance)

The combined approach also extends the longevity of results. While lifting effects may last up to a year, skin boosters help maintain hydration and skin elasticity for 6–9 months, resulting in sustained improvements when treatments are combined.

Real Patient Success: Case Study from PLAN;S Clinic

A 38-year-old woman with mild signs of aging, including jowls and fine lines, sought non-surgical rejuvenation. After a detailed consultation and skin analysis, she opted for a combination of Titanium Lifting and Juvelook skin boosters.

In a single session, the patient received lifting treatment for the jawline and nasolabial folds, followed by Juvelook injections for hydration and texture improvement. Within days, her skin appeared firmer, and after four weeks, her jawline was more defined, with noticeable improvements in skin radiance and texture.

Aftercare and Recovery

Most patients experience minimal downtime after lifting and skin booster treatments. Mild swelling or redness may occur, but it usually resolves within 24–48 hours.

Patients are advised to:

• Avoid intense physical activity and saunas for 48 hours

• Protect skin from direct sun exposure

• Use prescribed soothing creams and stay hydrated

PLAN;S Clinic offers comprehensive post-treatment support to ensure patients achieve optimal results and satisfaction.

Who Should Consider This Combination?

Ideal candidates for combining lifting and skin boosters include:

• Individuals aged 25–55 with early to moderate signs of aging

• Those with mild to moderate skin laxity, dullness, and fine lines

• Patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime

Not suitable for individuals with active skin conditions, autoimmune diseases, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
