Contrary to popular belief, medspa treatments aren’t one-size-fits-all procedures.The truth is, as the old adage goes, good things take time. And, in the case of medspa treatments, there might be more than one way to get your skin looking and feeling its best.
At Citrine MedSpa, we focus on providing you with the personalized care you deserve. Oftentimes, we find that more than one treatment is needed to achieve your desired results in the quickest time frame. With a comprehensive treatment plan, we can focus on a variety of skin concerns to ensure that your overall health is improved as a result.
We want to be your guide toward a renewed sense of confidence. Kerri Otto, PA-C has decades of experience giving patients the results they’re looking for. If you’re ready to build your comprehensive skincare treatment plan, book a virtual consultation with us today!
With that said, let’s explore how a comprehensive treatment plan at Citrine can bring your skin back to a youthful and vibrant state!
Consultation Process
To really understand your skin concerns, we have to talk about them. Everything we do starts with our in-depth consultation, where we can get to know more about your needs and your overall health goals.
During a consultation at Citrine, we’ll focus on what might be the root cause of your conditions. Looking at the body as a whole helps us devise an appropriate treatment plan with a combination of the best medspa treatments in Lincoln that not only target your conditions, but can help mitigate them over time. Though we can always focus on singular conditions, our goal is to bring your whole body into a state of wellbeing and renewal.
How we treat your conditions
At Citrine, we have the capacity to treat a wide range of skin conditions.
Some conditions that can be treated with a combination of medspa treatments include:
- Wrinkles (on or around the eyes, forehead, and mouth)
- Postpartum abdominal skin laxity
- Acne
- Stubborn fat cells
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome
- Other signs of skin aging
Regardless of how many of these conditions you bring to us, we will create a treatment plan that can address each symptom in time, and you’ll love the effect it has on other neighboring areas too! Let’s take a look at some common conditions and the treatment combinations that address those issues.
Wrinkles
Oh, those pesky wrinkles. Everyone deals with them eventually. There’s no getting around it. But not all hope is lost when you’re working with combination medspa treatments at Citrine. We have a few different wrinkle-fighting treatment options to choose from, including Halo laser treatment and neuromodulators like Botox.
Halo
Halo laser treatment is the world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser, which combines advanced cooling technology with FDA-approved ablation treatments to offer you all of your desired results with minimal downtime or discomfort!
The Halo laser can improve fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage discoloration, enlarged pores, skin texture, and your skin’s overall appearance. It’s an ideal choice to combat wrinkles on various parts of the face.
Botox
Botox is a great solution for fighting lines in your face. We call the wrinkles created by facial expressions like smiling and frowning “dynamic wrinkles.” Neurotoxins like Botox are a safe and effective way to smooth out these wrinkles by targeting the muscles responsible for creating them.
The Benefits of Halo and Botox for Wrinkles
When we combine Halo laser treatment with Botox, we’re taking your skin through a reconstruction process that targets your specified conditions at a deep level (Halo) and then maintaining what we’ve reconstructed (Botox). This combination of the best medspa treatments in Lincoln ensures your results stay fantastic for the long haul!

Skin Laxity
There are a number of circumstances that can cause skin laxity, including pregnancy, aging, and rapid weight loss. Our skin’s natural elasticity can be weakened when it has been stretched over a long period of time, and this is due to the damaged collagen in particular.
To combat signs of skin laxity, we can employ a variety of treatments that focus on what’s happening just under the surface layers of your skin. Targeting this deeper layer produces longer-lasting, more effective skin laxity improvement. Our go-to treatments include Virtue RF microneedling and Halo laser treatment, and they remain some of our best medspa treatments in Lincoln!
Virtue RF Microneedling
Virtue RF (radio frequency) Microneedling is specifically designed to encourage your body’s natural healing response by bringing your skin back to a more healthy state. It does this by targeting damaged collagen and elastin through 36 gold-coated needles that are precisely delivered at a specified depth. This is a relatively painless treatment with virtually no bleeding as a result.
Halo
Halo laser treatment is an ideal treatment when combined with Virtue RF Microneedling as it works to maintain your skin’s structure and longevity, as well as preserving the progress you’ve made through microneedling.
Thanks to our advanced Joule X laser platform by Sciton, Halo laser treatments can be easily customized to target your specific skin concerns, including balancing the aggressiveness of the treatment to put you in more control of your recovery time. Halo’s skin resurfacing technology works to target skin conditions like hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, or enlarged pores.
The Benefits of Virtue and Halo for Skin Laxity
Combining Virtue RF Microneedling with Halo laser treatment is a promising solution for skin laxity as the two work hand-in-hand to bring refreshment to skin that has been stretched and weakened through your life.

Weight Loss
We get it. Weight loss will forever be a complicated process. There are many, many different procedures, treatments, and diets that claim they produce effective weight loss, but it’s hard to know what really makes a difference.
At Citrine, we treat stubborn weight loss with a combination of Physiq body contouring and Virtue RF Microneedling.
Physiq Body Contouring
By using non-invasive electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), Physiq works through STEP (Sequential Thermal & Electrical Pulse) Technology, which is exclusive to Physiq. Both electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and a super luminescent diode matrix (SDM) can be delivered from one of the four applicators, triggering a flight response from stubborn fat cells.
Physiq can tone your abdomen, buttocks, legs, arms, hips, and back. It’s a non-invasive body contouring and muscle building device in a class all its own—offering non-invasive butt lifts, six-pack abs, and stronger and more toned back and arms. It also eliminates love handles and stubborn “bra fat.”
Virtue RF Microneedling
We know, we love microneedling! That’s because it works so well across a number of skin conditions, including maintaining healthy skin that is being transformed due to weight loss. This is important to note because if our bodies lose weight too quickly, this can result in flabby skin that would be less than ideal for anyone. Virtue’s a wonder-working treatment in this regard and it’ll keep your skin in great condition!
The Benefits of Physiq and Virtue for Weight Loss
When we pair Physiq body contouring with Virtue RF Microneedling, we’re taking the proper steps to not only fight stubborn fat cells, but also addressing any possible issues with skin laxity. It’s a win-win situation and we’re all about it at Citrine!
Hyperpigmentation
While hyperpigmentation isn’t a skin condition, per se, it can produce concerning dark spots on the skin in the form of small patches, or it can even cover large areas of the body. Hyperpigmentation can come in a variety of forms, including:
- Melasma, which is believed to be caused by hormonal changes and may develop during pregnancy.
- Sunspots, otherwise known as liver spots, which can be caused by long periods of sun exposure.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is the result of injury or skin inflammation. Acne is a common form of this type.
Hyperpigmentation may seem alarming, we can easily treat it with a powerful combination of skin treatments such as BBL Photofacials and Halo laser treatments, both of which we explored previously.
BBL
BBL is an advanced light therapy treatment that uses broadband light (hence BBL) to reverse the visible signs of aging.
Our state-of-the-art Sciton Joule X platform has both BBL and BBL HERO, which allows us to perform a range of BBL treatments to address a combination of conditions and body areas:
- BBL Corrective: This treatment uses higher energy levels of IPL (intense pulsed light) energy to permeate the top layers of the skin and treat surface-level imperfections like hyperpigmentation, freckles, red spots, rosacea, visible facial blood vessels, and more.
- Forever Young BBL: This treatment uses lower energy (but many more pulses) to send BBL light deep into the skin with decreased risk of negative side effects like striping or burns.
- Forever Clear BBL: If you struggle with inflammation, hyperpigmentation, acne and the scars it can cause, Forever Clear BBL treatments can help you! It allows us to combat acne-related bacteria, address inflammation, and jumpstart the healing process to help you get the clear skin you deserve.
- BBL HERO: This is a high-energy treatment that targets large areas of the body, addressing vascular lesions, scars, sun damage, and other pigmentation issues.
- SkinTyte II: This treatment uses infrared energy to smooth and tighten skin (this is also perfect for treating postpartum skin laxity).
The Benefits of BBL and Halo For Hyperpigmentation
BBL and Halo work as partners to not only treat dark spots but also to help guide your skin back to a glowing state. If your confidence is affected by hyperpigmentation, and for many people this is the case, BBL and Halo are here to renew your confidence and to enable you to live boldly once more!
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a pretty frustrating medical condition that many patients have but is often not discussed because the side effects can be seen as embarrassing. PCOS causes the ovaries to produce more androgens (male sex hormones) than usual. These hormones are, in fact, naturally found in women but their levels are significantly higher in women affected by PCOS.
It is the excess androgen associated with PCOS that stimulates excessive growth of thicker coarse hair in women which can also be known as hirsutism. The most commonly affected areas are face, upper lip, chin, and neck. Hirsutism can also be noted to affect the chest, abdomen, back, upper arms, or upper legs. These coarse hairs can also be associated with folliculitis which is not only unsightly, but also painful!
A combination of BBL Photofacial and Halo laser treatment is one of our most effective ways to address the symptoms of PCOS.
For the best results from BBL Photofacials, we recommend 2 to 4 maintenance treatments per year. BBL induced anti-aging effects are actually seen at a cellular level and can contribute to an overall younger appearance.

The Benefits of BBL and Halo for PCOS
As you can tell, BBL Photofacials are one of our most unique skin treatments to treat a wide range of skin conditions at their source. When you combine BBL with Halo laser treatment, you’re getting a powerful combination of skin treatments that can keep PCOS at bay and have your skin youthful and vibrant, too!
The Power of Botox
We mentioned earlier that Botox is a powerful solution for treating wrinkles, fine lines, and a number of other skin conditions. But when you combine Botox with our other skincare treatments, you’re in for a treat!
Botox has the power to give your combined skincare treatments an extra boost, and it can maintain your progress for the long haul. You absolutely can’t go wrong with a continued Botox treatment and our providers are more than happy to help you navigate an effective Botox treatment plan with the best medspa treatments in Lincoln!
