Modern aesthetic medicine is no longer about single treatments addressing a single concern. In 2026, the strongest results come from intelligent combination skin therapy, and at Finger & Associates Plastic Surgery Center, this approach is known as The Dynamic Duo.
The Dynamic Duo is a physician guided combination treatment that pairs Helix Laser resurfacing with Virtue RF microneedling to address skin aging at multiple levels. This treatment reflects how skin actually ages and how it should be treated, with precision, experience, and restraint.
Led by board certified plastic surgeon E. Ronald Finger, Finger & Associates has become a destination for patients seeking advanced skin rejuvenation with modern technology and thoughtful execution. With more than 40 years of surgical and aesthetic experience, Dr. Finger has consistently focused on treatments that deliver measurable improvement while respecting the integrity of the skin.
Why Combination Skin Therapy Is Leading Aesthetics in 2026
Skin aging does not occur on a single plane. Sun exposure affects the surface. Collagen loss happens deeper. Laxity develops over time as structural support weakens. Treating only one layer limits outcomes.
Combination skin therapy addresses this reality.
The Dynamic Duo was designed to improve:
- Surface texture and tone
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Collagen and elastin production
- Skin firmness and elasticity
- Overall skin quality and resilience
Rather than aggressive single modality treatments, this approach focuses on layered correction with controlled recovery, which is why it is gaining momentum nationwide.
What Is the Dynamic Duo at Finger & Associates
The Dynamic Duo is not a generic pairing of devices. It is a customized treatment protocol built around two complementary technologies that work together.
Helix Laser Resurfacing
The Helix Laser is an advanced CO2 laser system designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality. One of its most popular options is CoolPeel, a branded light laser resurfacing treatment that delivers visible results with minimal downtime.
Virtue RF Microneedling
Virtue RF uses radiofrequency energy delivered through microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin. It is safe for all skin tones and allows precise depth and energy control.
Together, these technologies allow Dr. Finger to treat both surface damage and deeper structural aging in a single coordinated plan.

Skin Benefits of the Dynamic Duo
Surface Level Benefits
- Brighter and more even skin tone

- Smoother skin texture
- Softening of fine lines

Deeper Structural Benefits
- Increased collagen and elastin production

- Enhanced jawline and facial support
- Strengthening of the skin over time
- Results that continue to improve after treatment
This combination approach supports both immediate visible improvement and long term skin quality.
Understanding Downtime and Recovery
One of the most common questions patients ask is about downtime.
- Virtue RF on its own typically involves minimal to no downtime
- CoolPeel may cause temporary redness and light flaking
- Deeper Helix resurfacing involves controlled downtime that is significantly shorter than traditional CO2 laser treatments
When combined as the Dynamic Duo, recovery is strategically managed to maximize results while minimizing disruption. This is a key reason combination therapy has become so popular.
Why Experience Matters with Combination Treatments
Advanced energy based treatments require more than access to technology. They require judgment.
Dr. Finger brings:
- Over four decades as a board certified plastic surgeon
- Deep understanding of facial anatomy and skin biology
- Early adoption of both Helix Laser and Virtue RF technologies
- Founder of New Youth Medical Spa, Savannah’s first comprehensive medical spa established in the 1990s
This level of experience allows treatments to be customized safely and conservatively, avoiding the overtreated look that can occur with less experienced providers.
A Trusted Destination for the Coastal Empire
Patients routinely travel to Finger & Associates from across the Coastal Empire and nearby coastal regions. Many come from Savannah and surrounding Georgia communities, while others make the drive from nearby areas of South Carolina.
