title: Combined nonablative rejuvenation techniques.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Nonablative technologies have been used for fine lines and improvement of skin texture without significant downtime. Nonablative technologies may also be used in combination.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To present a brief review on nonablative technologies and discuss using nonablative procedures in combination and with other adjunctive therapies.
  
  
  METHODS
  A review of the literature was done to identify combination nonablative studies. We also discuss our own experience in combining these procedures.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Various nonablative technologies can be used together, often with better outcomes and fewer treatments.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Nonablative and adjunctive treatments should be performed in combination to optimize the results. Much of the information in this publication is from personal experience and expresses the opinions of these authors while citing relevant literature and studies.
