This month’s blog title is admittedly a little misleading … because the best non-surgical anti-aging results typically aren't found in one miracle treatment. More often, they are the result of the right combination of treatments that address the multiple visible signs of aging.
The Multiple Causes of Facial Aging
As we get older, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, leading to thinner, less resilient skin. Meanwhile, changes in facial fat distribution, bone structure, and underlying tissue contribute to hollowing, sagging, and diminished facial contours.
And while no single nonsurgical treatment addresses every aspect of facial aging, a skilled provider can develop personalized protocols that combine technologies to address multiple concerns.
That Being Said … Read on for Our Favorite Anti-Aging Combination Protocols
Step 1: Ultherapy® PRIME: The Foundation for Nonsurgical Rejuvenation
Ultherapy® PRIME is one of the best technologies available for non-surgical skin tightening and lifting, and is one of our foundational rejuvenation treatments.
This FDA-cleared device uses microfocused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep beneath the skin's surface. And unlike treatments that primarily address superficial wrinkles, Ultherapy® targets the deeper tissue layers associated with skin laxity.
Ultherapy® can lift the brow, neck, jawline, and tissue beneath the chin, as well as improve lines and wrinkles on the décolleté. Over the months following your appointment, newly produced collagen helps create a firmer, more lifted appearance.

One of Ultherapy®'s biggest advantages is that it requires no incisions or general anesthesia and has no downtime for most patients.
However, while Ultherapy® tightens existing tissue, it does not replace lost facial volume. That's why pairing Ultherapy® with injectable biostimulators can be especially beneficial.
Step 2: Biostimulators: Restoring Volume from Within
Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers remain valuable tools for facial rejuvenation. But increasingly, patients are exploring alternatives that work with the body's natural tissue-building processes.
Enter biostimulators.
Two of our favorites at MedBeautyLA are Sculptra® and Renuva®. Although both can help address age-related volume loss, they accomplish this through different mechanisms — and your provider will help determine if you can benefit from one or both options.
Sculptra®: Rebuilding Collagen for Gradual Rejuvenation
Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that stimulates the body's own collagen production. Rather than providing immediate, gel-based volume like conventional fillers, Sculptra® gradually improves facial fullness and skin structure as new collagen forms.

It's particularly well-suited for patients experiencing broader facial volume loss, including hollowing in the cheeks. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments, with results developing over several months and potentially lasting up to two years.
Renuva®: Restoring Age-Related Fat Loss
Declining collagen isn't the only reason for volume loss in the face over time: we also lose facial fat as we age. This gradual depletion of facial fat can lead to hollowing, sunken cheeks, and a loss of youthful facial contours.
And that’s where Renuva® comes in.

Renuva ®is an injectable biostimulator that helps the body rejuvenate fat in highly targeted areas. And unlike traditional fat transfer, Renuva® doesn't require liposuction or uncomfortable procedures to harvest fat from another part of the body.
(Noticing signs of aging on the backs of your hands? Renuva® can also help restore youthful fullness to that area!)
Taking Combination Rejuvenation Even Further with RF Microneedling and Dynamic Muscle Stimulation
For patients seeking additional improvement in facial contours, facial muscle tone, and skin texture, RF microneedling with dynamic muscle stimulation can take things to the next level.
Our specialized RF microneedling device combines three complementary technologies:
- Dynamic Muscle Stimulation: Uses controlled electrical impulses to stimulate and tone facial muscles, helping create a naturally lifted, firmer, and more defined appearance.
- Radiofrequency (RF): Delivers controlled heat to encourage collagen production and firmer-looking skin.
- Microneedling: Targets skin quality, texture, and collagen renewal.
Because RF microneedling paired with dynamic muscle stimulation addresses both the skin and underlying facial muscles, it can be a valuable addition to a comprehensive nonsurgical rejuvenation plan.
