Wrinkle Reduction: Learn About Your Options

5 January 2012, admin on the topic of Before and After Photos, Botox Portland, Derma-fillers Portland, Featured Services, Restylane Treatment, Restylane Treatment Portland

Wrinkles are our skin’s natural response to aging and while light laugh lines may be charming, deep creases and furrows are aspects of age you no longer have to settle for. An incredible amount of new research about the causes of wrinkles has become accessible over the last decade, and dramatic improvements in injectable fillers have helped tens of millions of men and women look and feel more beautiful. Dr. Maddox and his team at Thrive offer a number of wrinkle reduction services designed to help you look as beautiful as you feel.

Botox Cosmetic is a protein derived from botulism toxin that is most commonly injected underneath the skin in order to minimize or smooth out lines and wrinkles on the face. It was first introduced to the medical community in 1989 as a treatment for eye muscle disorders and was eventually approved for cosmetic use after much successful testing. These procedures use a small amount of diluted botulinum toxin that enables controlled weakening of muscles.

Botox works to relax the contraction of muscles by blocking nerve impulses. The result is muscles that can no longer contract, and so the wrinkles relax and soften. It usually takes two to four days to see cosmetic improvement and the effects tend to last from three to six months. While most patients require additional treatments as wrinkles and lines begin to reappear, after each injection the wrinkles return less severe than before as the muscles are trained to relax.

Restylane is the number one wrinkle filler in the United States. Restylane is made using naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, the same substance that already exists in the body. Restylane works quickly, adding volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe wrinkles and folds and is most commonly used in the nasolabial folds, or the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth.

Because Restylane maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture, it increasingly binds to the body’s own water molecules over time, which produces lasting results as the skin ages and loses moisture. In a clinical study of laugh lines (nasolabial folds), at least 95% of patients treated with Restylane continued to see results for up to 18 months after initial treatment when patients returned for a follow-up treatment at 4.5 or nine months.

Juvéderm can be used by a licensed physician to fill moderate to severe parentheses lines, marionette lines, and vertical lines between the nose and upper lip, with results lasting up to one year. Some preparations of Juvéderm also include lidocaine, which reduces the minor discomfort that some people feel during the process. Like Restylane, Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid gel used to fill lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Hyaluronic acid binds to and absorbs water in the dermis (the layer of skin between the epidermis, the outer layer of skin that we see every day, and the connective tissue inside our bodies). As we age, our bodies don’t produce as much hyaluronic acid as before, leading to shrinking and volume in the dermis, which appear as wrinkles in the epidermis.

If you’d like to start 2012 looking as beautiful as you feel, contact Dr. Maddox and his team at Thrive Portland to schedule an initial consultation.

Wrinkle Reduction: Don’t Be Scared of Botox

4 November 2011, admin on the topic of Botox Portland, Featured Services, Thrive Portland

Jennifer Aniston w/ Botox

You cannot visit a grocery store check-out line without noticing the racks of magazines and tabloids with pictures of beautiful celebrities. Unfortunately with the increase in popularity of wrinkle treatments like Botox and plastic surgery, many celebrities are looking overdone and far different than their original selves. However, many stars are also aging gracefully with carefully selected skincare and wrinkle reduction treatments like Botox.

Although the popular images we see often include the not so pretty depictions of overdone cosmetic treatments, don’t be afraid of Botox! Botox is designed to be used sparingly to treat fine lines and wrinkles leaving a smoother and fresher appearance. When used properly it can take years off your appearance by eliminating those pesky wrinkles and lines that can leave you looking tired and weary. Botox cosmetic can also be used to treat loose skin and wrinkles in the neck. As we age the delicate skin in this area can become loose and sagging and Botox can take care of this without a full face lift!

Botox can also be used to prevent future wrinkles. Starting Botox in your early 30s actually helps patients avoid the inevitable furrows that result from years of scrunching and frowning.

Jennifer Aniston w/o Botox

There are around 43 major muscles in the face that express emotions, that move to smile or frown, or show expressions with our eyes. If Botox is overused and these muscles are frozen, these expressions become muted and in the worst cases unrecognizable. When you make the decision to invest in Botox treatments, be sure to choose a doctor that focuses on naturally enhancing your beauty rather than changing it. At Thrive, we offer a free consultation that includes personalized recommendations for your Botox treatments. Typically, we recommend treatments anywhere from 4-8 months apart depending on the amount and depth of the wrinkles.

Botox has been proven to work wonders for thousands of people, but every patient should be treated individually and with care. At Thrive Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Center, our experienced professionals are happy to assist with any questions related to Botox or other wrinkle reduction treatments.

Thrive Portland: Read Our Spring Contest Winner’s Entry on Aging Beautifully!

17 June 2011, admin on the topic of 'Age Beautifully' Tips, Botox Portland, Microdermabrasion Portland, Promotions, Skin Specialist Portland, Thrive Portland

Congratulations to Melissa H., winner of our Spring Into Beauty contest! Her prize of a $650 complete skin rejuvenation package includes a skin evaluation and treatment plan, microdermabrasion, Vitalize facial peel and Botox. Melissa’s entry stood out as a personal and eloquent statement of what aging beautifully means to her.

Aging beautifully means two very important things to me. The first is that I will develop inner beauty each year that goes by as I give myself fully to life and to love. The second is taking care of my body and my health and yes, my physical appearance the best I can.

To me, aging beautifully means overcoming life’s difficulties and learning how to maintain an inner smile. It means not giving way to bitterness, and remaining flexible and resilient over time when it would be easy to grow set in my ways. It means keeping my body healthy by eating good food and exercising often. And It means realizing that I am never too old to learn new things and challenge my mind with advancements in science and technology and art. When I am older I want to be a woman of wisdom and grace. I want the things I have suffered and the things I have enjoyed shine through my eyes, and I want to offer the things I have learned to those who are younger, but only when they need it.

When I think of aging I am also happy that it no longer means I will have to sit back and passively watch my outer appearance deteriorate. I don’t want my reflection to surprise me when I look in the mirror. I will know a young girl still occupies my aging body, but aging beautifully can now mean less of a discrepancy between how I look and how I feel. It is true that beauty is only skin deep. I have always been taught this truth, and still believe it to this day. But now, when the lines between my eyebrows give me an angry look, I can easily take care of it. When my gravity pulls the corners of my mouth downward and I look unhappy, I can give it a boost and reflect the joyful spirit I used to express so easily. Aging beautifully will never mean erasing every smile line, or looking like a piece of stretched out plastic. But it can mean that along with maintaining my inner self as a loving and graceful human being, I can feel good about my outer appearance too.

Thank you to everyone who entered our Thrive Spring Into Beauty contest! We had so many great entries, it was difficult to pick just one winner. Become a fan of Thrive on Facebook and stay tuned for information on upcoming contests and discounts.

Wrinkle Reduction: Thrive’s Non-Surgical Facelift

18 May 2011, daniellelee on the topic of Botox Portland, Featured Services, Skin Specialist Portland, Wrinkle Reduction

Have you ever wondered how you can take years off your appearance without surgery? At Thrive Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Center, we make it easy. We specialize in the latest laser and cosmetic medicine treatments and our staff bring more than a decade of experience in the field of laser light treatments and cosmetic dermatology. Our comprehensive treatments will give you dramatic, yet naturally looking results without surgery or invasive procedures. Looking years younger is as easy as four steps.

Step 1: Consultation

We begin every client relationship with a thorough consultation with our on site physician. This may include skin analysis, photos and evaluating your overall health. This ensures our treatment programs are entirely customized to each individual for optimal results.

Step 2: Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion combines the rejuvenating benefits of a facial with the renewing qualities of a deep scrub. A time-honored and successful skin care treatment, microdermabrasion buffs away dry and damaged skin to reveal a fresher, younger appearance. It is also highly effective in preparing the skin for lasers treatments for wrinkles, acne scars and age spots.

Step 3: Medical Laser Treatments

Light-based laser treatments, such as Titan and Laser Genesis, are effective alternatives to plastic surgery that produce amazing results. The titan emits a pure infrared light to reverse the signs of aging without damaging the surface of the skin. The treatment also works to stimulate long-term collagen building which helps to tone, lift and firm the skin. The Laser Genesis uses a pulsed-light system used to treat a range of specific issues including wrinkles, fine lines, redness and scarring.

Dermal Optical Thermolysis, or DOT, is a fractional CO2 laser resurfacing treatment that also addresses wrinkles, sagging, sun damage, and discoloration among others skin issues. It works by creating thousands of microscopic perforations that immediately tighten the skin and stimulate new collagen growth.

Step 4: Botox and Fillers

Botox is probably the most heard about facial treatment. It is a protein derived from botulism toxin that works to relax the contraction of muscles by blocking nerve impulses. It is a simple lunch time procedure that anyone can do. Dermal fillers are delivered under the skin to restore volume and fullness and to correct facial wrinkles. Restylane and Juvederm are natural substances that already exist in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane increasingly binds to the body’s own water molecules over time, which produces lasting results as the skin ages. Unlike collagen, Restylane is free from animal proteins and provides a truly natural way to achieve a youthful look. During your consultation, Dr. Maddox will provide an analysis of which specific fillers will be best for your various lines and wrinkles.

SmartXide DOT Laser Wrinkle Reduction

At Thrive, we believe in Aging Beautifully, which means developing an individualized treatment plan that works to enhance one’s natural beauty, reduce your wrinkles, and add years back to your skin. We believe in a holistic approach to beauty and feel that we can provide the most realistic results to minimize intensive surgeries or overly invasive treatments.

Botox Portland: What Everyone Should Know About Botox

26 January 2011, admin on the topic of Before and After Photos, Botox Portland, Wrinkle Reduction

You’ve probably heard just about everyone from celebrities to your neighbors and family members talk about Botox. That’s because Botox has become the most popular non-invasive aesthetic medical procedure performed worldwide. But what is it?

Botox is a protein derived from botulism toxin that is most commonly injected underneath the skin in order to minimize or smooth out lines and wrinkles on the face. It was first introduced to the medical community in 1989 as a treatment for eye muscle disorders and was eventually approved for cosmetic use after much successful testing. These procedures use a small amount of diluted botulinum toxin that enables controlled weakening of muscles.

Botox works to relax the contraction of muscles by blocking nerve impulses. The result is muscles that can no longer contract, and so the wrinkles relax and soften. It usually takes two to four days to see cosmetic improvement and the effects tend to last from three to six months. While most patients require additional treatments as wrinkles and lines begin to reappear, after each injection the wrinkles return less severe as the muscles are trained to relax.

Many people think Botox is only used to repair already affected areas, but it is also used as a preventative therapy. Starting to use Botox in the late 20s or early 30s actually helps patients avoid the inevitable furrows that result from years of scrunching and frowning. Treatments do not require anesthesia and usually take just a few minutes to perform.

Unfortunately, the popularity of Botox treatments has encouraged some physicians and non-medical professionals without extensive training to offer these treatments in order to capture a percentage of the market. A proper Botox treatment experience should always start with a consultation where any and all questions or concerns can be discussed so the patient feels well-informed. In addition, a follow-up appointment should be scheduled after treatment, especially with new patients. Botox has been proven to work wonders for thousands of people, but every patient should be treated individually and with care.

At Thrive Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Center, we pride ourselves on offering experienced advice and assisting people with any questions related to Botox, medical spa treatments, hormone replacement, and/or medical weight loss. We insist on beginning every relationship with an hour consultation to discuss our treatment options in more depth. Our team of expert medical professionals is available to offer their insight, answer your questions, and be an informational resource for our current and potential clients.

We are happy to answer your questions through our blog, Facebook, or Twitter. For more information please visit our website at http://www.thriveportland.com.
