In the past, looking younger usually meant surgery. But plastic surgeon Dr. Julius Few believes that dramatic results are possible with less invasive methods. He uses a "treatment ladder" to combine nonsurgical procedures to improve skin texture, volume loss, and sagging skin all at once.

Stacking nonsurgical treatments, namely giving multiple treatments in a single sitting, used to be seen as too risky. Now, doctors see that combining them can often be done safely, delivering more complete rejuvenation or occasionally better outcomes than doing each treatment separately.

This approach is gaining popularity for those who are not yet at a stage of aging that mandates surgical correction in order to obtain significant results.

Dr. Few joins Dr. Bass to discuss his inspiration for the treatment ladder, which treatments are typically included, and the advantages of this approach.
