Stacking Treatments: How To Pair In-Clinic Treatments With Obagi For Maximum Glow

True radiance doesn’t come from a single product or one-off treatment - it’s built through strategy.
The most luminous, healthy-looking skin results from a carefully layered plan that supports the skin at every level - combining medical-grade skincare with regenerative in-clinic treatments designed to rebuild, strengthen and maintain your glow over time.

At Dr Ed Robinson Aesthetics in Hale, this integrated approach lies at the heart of every treatment plan. By pairing Obagi Medical skincare with collagen-stimulating injectables such as Radiesse® and advanced bio-stimulators, Dr Ed helps patients achieve skin that looks naturally radiant, firm, and effortlessly youthful.

Here’s how to create your own perfect pairing - and why stacking treatments is the smart way to achieve results that last.


The Power of Pairing - Why Skin Health Needs Strategy

Your skin doesn’t work in isolation, so your treatments shouldn’t either.
Stacking - or strategically combining - skincare and aesthetic procedures ensures that every layer of your skin receives the attention it needs.

While in-clinic treatments trigger regeneration, collagen synthesis and deep structural change, Obagi Medical products maintain those results by optimising cell turnover, reducing inflammation, and fortifying the skin barrier at home.

Without this synergy, even the most advanced clinic treatments can plateau. With it, results become smoother, brighter and more enduring - a reflection of healthy function rather than temporary correction.

Meet Obagi - The Foundation of Every Great Glow

What Makes Obagi Different

For more than 30 years, Obagi Medical has been at the forefront of clinical skincare, formulating systems that work with the skin’s natural biology. Each regime targets specific concerns - from pigmentation to fine lines, using evidence-based actives such as retinoids, antioxidants, niacinamide, vitamin C and peptides.

This isn’t cosmetic skincare; it’s therapeutic. Obagi products are designed to correct and restore at the cellular level, setting the ideal foundation for any aesthetic treatment.

Preparing Skin for In-Clinic Treatments

Think of Obagi as your skin’s personal trainer. Four to six weeks of consistent use before treatment primes the skin - normalising oil production, evening tone, and improving tolerance.

When a patient uses Obagi Medical skincare before receiving Radiesse® or bio-stimulator injections, the results are noticeably enhanced. The healthier the skin environment, the more effectively new collagen can form and remodel.

Radiesse® & Bio-Stimulators - Regenerative Volume Meets Longevity

What Is Radiesse®?

Radiesse® is a calcium hydroxyapatite biostimulator that offers more than volume - it rebuilds the skin’s internal scaffolding. Once injected, it provides immediate lift while gradually stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin over the following months.

Why Combine Radiesse® with Obagi

Where Obagi refines and strengthens the skin’s surface, Radiesse® rejuvenates the deeper structures. The two work in perfect harmony: one maintaining glow and texture, the other restoring density and lift.

At Dr Ed Robinson Aesthetics, many patients opt for a bespoke regenerative combination - Radiesse® paired with additional bio-stimulators. This protocol enhances volume, firmness and luminosity simultaneously, addressing both immediate appearance and long-term skin quality.

The Correct Order Matters

To achieve balanced, radiant results, the sequence of treatments and skincare is key. Dr Ed recommends a progressive approach that allows each phase to support the next:

  1. Pre-Treatment Preparation (Weeks 1-6)
    Establish a consistent Obagi Medical routine to prime and condition skin.

  2. In-Clinic Regeneration
    Undergo Radiesse® and bio-stimulator injections to restore structure and trigger collagen production.

  3. Post-Treatment Healing
    Continue Obagi Hydrate, antioxidant serums, and daily SPF 50 to protect and nurture new tissue.

  4. Maintenance & Optimisation
    Monthly LED therapy or gentle skin boosters extend your results, maintaining that lit-from-within glow.

Realistic Timelines & Expectations

Immediate freshness can be visible after treatment, but true regenerative change develops gradually. Collagen remodelling peaks around three months, while consistent Obagi use preserves radiance long after.

Dr Ed Robinson’s Bespoke Regenerative Protocol

Every face tells a different story, and no two treatment plans should ever be the same.

Dr Ed’s bespoke regenerative protocol begins with a full assessment of anatomy, skin density, and collagen health. Using Radiesse® and complementary bio-stimulators, he rebuilds underlying volume where needed - particularly in the cheeks, jawline, and temples - while maintaining natural movement and proportion.

By integrating Obagi Medical skincare before and after treatment, Dr Ed ensures that every result is structurally sound, scientifically supported, and beautifully subtle.

“True rejuvenation is regenerative, not repetitive. When skin is healthy, volume and vitality return naturally.” - Dr Ed Robinson


Obagi + Regenerative Aesthetics = Skin That Glows From Within

The combination of medical-grade skincare and bio-stimulating injectables transforms not only how skin looks but how it functions.

  • Obagi optimises cell turnover and barrier strength.

  • Radiesse® rebuilds collagen for structure and firmness.

  • Bio-stimulators amplify long-term renewal.

Together, they create a multi-layered glow - not a surface shine but a reflection of truly healthy skin.
