Advances in laser surgery have expanded the range of light- and energy-based devices, yet many treatments remain siloed rather than strategically integrated. This session explores evidence-based protocols for combining modalities (e.g. lasers, light, ultrasound, radiofrequency, biostimulatory injectables, neuromodulators) to achieve synergistic improvement. Through case analysis and treatment sequencing strategies, attendees will learn how pairing technologies can enhance safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction.
