Good skincare has always been about layers — the right ingredients, in the right order, working together. The same is true in the treatment room. At Jane Olson MD, we believe some of the most powerful results come not from a single procedure, but from the art of stacking — pairing two or more treatments in one session to amplify what each one does on its own.
Here’s what that looks like in practice.
What Does “Stacking” Mean?
Stacking simply means combining compatible treatments to address multiple concerns at once — or to deepen the results of a single one. Think of it as building a custom protocol rather than a one-size-fits-all appointment. The key is knowing which treatments work synergistically, and timing them so each one enhances the next.
Our Favorite Combinations
Microneedling + Salmon DNA (PDRN) + CO2 Pro Lift Mask
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, which makes it the perfect delivery vehicle. When Salmon DNA — also known as PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) — is applied immediately after, those channels allow it to penetrate deeply and get to work. PDRN is a powerhouse for cellular repair and regeneration, helping to firm, hydrate, and restore a natural luminosity that topical products simply can’t reach on their own. Together, this combination is especially loved for skin that looks dull, tired, or is showing early signs of aging. The CO2 Pro Lift Mask is the finishing touch that elevates virtually any treatment. By infusing the skin with carbon dioxide, it triggers a natural vasodilation response — increasing circulation, oxygen delivery, and absorption. Post-laser or post-microneedling, it soothes, brightens, and sends active ingredients deeper. Patients consistently notice an immediate radiance that lasts.
Laser + PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) + Epicutis Mask
After a laser treatment, skin is primed and receptive. Introducing PDGF — a growth factor that signals the skin to accelerate its own healing and collagen production — right in that window supercharges recovery and results. Less downtime, more glow. This pairing is ideal for anyone addressing texture, tone, or sun damage.
Why It Matters
Stacking isn’t about doing more for the sake of it. It’s about being intentional — using each treatment at the moment it will be most effective, and letting them build on each other rather than work in isolation. The result is a customized protocol that’s smarter, more efficient, and delivers the kind of skin transformation that takes longer to achieve treatment by treatment.
