Portland Chemical Peels: The Products and the Process
22 March 2012, thriveportland on the topic of Age Spot Removal Portland, Portland Dermatologist, Skin Specialist Portland, Wrinkle Reduction, acne treatments
For many of us, the term chemical peel immediately conjures up images from Sex and the City: Samantha Jones, red face hiding behind a veil at an uptown party. They’re no longer all that drastic, however, and the products at Thrive can produce beautifying results without grisly side effects. By penetrating various depths of skin, our chemical peels are among the most effective non-invasive beauty treatments available today.
All chemical peels vary in intensity and strength. Chemical peels have incredible regenerating properties; by removing damaged layers of skin, they strip away years of age and allow the skin to grow back healthier and more vibrant. The strength of the peels depends on the chemical ingredients and the level of rejuvenation you need. Even our strongest products, however, have minimal side effects. Our chemical peels can accomplish everything from wrinkle reduction to removing brown spots and sun damage. The best product for you will depend on your specific goals and the current condition of your skin.
The Vitalize Peel is our most popular chemical peel product. It combats normal environmental damage, and it can be customized to treat irregular pigmentation, photodamage, and melasma. As a middle grade peel, it’s effective without being debilitating. Burning is minimal, and a recovery period is usually unnecessary.
The Rejuvenize Peel goes a step further, penetrating deeper to exfoliate the top layers of the most damaged skin. By using a novel surfactant, this product creates a more uniform peeling without the irritation that once characterized stronger peels. Because it can heal even acne scarring, some recovery time may be necessary, but it’s tolerable.
Though most chemical peels produce some level of discomfort, they can make the face look and feel younger than almost any other procedure. To learn more about them and determine the best product for you, contact Thrive today and set up a consultation with our expert staff.
Acne Reduction Portland: 4 Steps to Clearer Skin
9 February 2012, thriveportland on the topic of Acne Treatment Center, Featured Services, Laser Acne Treatment, Portland Dermatologist, Skin Specialist Portland, acne treatments
Acne usually begins in puberty and is often seen as a teenager’s problem but blemishes follow many people into adulthood, despite our best efforts at eradicating them. If you want to keep your skin looking its best, here are four tips for self-care.
Always Remove Makeup Before Going to Bed Use a gentle cleanser or makeup remover wipes to completely clean off any and all products you may have applied during the day. Dust and other environmental particulates will have stuck to the fine layer you’ve applied, and sleeping with all that on your skin is a surefire way to not only ruin your pillowcases, but clog pores and wreak havoc on your skin. SkinMedica has a wonderful line of skin cleansers that are gentle and effective, http://www.skinmedica.com/skin-care-products/cleanse
Know What’s in Your Facial Products Many products, including makeup and cleansers, contain preservatives or chemicals that may actually irritate your skin. It is important to understand your skin type in order to purchase products that appeal to either dry, oily, or combination skin. If you have sensitive skin, avoid ingredients like titanium oxide and sulfates, which can cause irritation and lead to breakouts.
Keep Your Hands off Your Face Oil from your fingers can make acne worse, so do your best to avoid popping or picking at blemishes. Instead, apply an ice cube to reduce redness and a warm compress to draw the fluid closer to the surface, then gently wipe the area with an alcohol swab. If you want to cover your blemishes with makeup, be sure to use non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) formulas and remove it completely at the end of the day.
Your Skin Reflects Your Diet What you put in your mouth can have a direct affect on the health and appearance of your skin. Eating fatty and oily foods void of nutritional value can leave the skin broken out and dull. Foods high in anti-oxidants include blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and plums. Salmon, walnuts, and flax seed have essential fatty acids to lead to plump, glowing skin. Don’t forget drink lots of water to keep your skin and body hydrated!
Dr. Maddox and the team at Thrive can work with you to develop an individualized acne treatment program, including advanced dermatologic laser and light therapy, prescription products prescribed for your skin type, as well as hormone testing and evaluation. Call 503-241-3579 today to schedule your initial appointment. Beautiful skin is possible. Let the team at Thrive help you achieve it.

What We Do
Skin Services We offer only non-invasive, FDA-approved and clinically tested procedures to gently reduce wrinkles and lines, smooth skin tone and improve elasticity. These include cosmetic fillers, lasers and pure infrared light to resurface and tighten skin by stimulating collagen growth. If you are looking for a Portland dermatologist, Dr. Maddox and his team at Thrive can help you achieve your beautification goals.
Body Services At Thrive, we have ways to treat unwanted fat and cellulite non-surgically yet effectively by dissolving the fat and performing body sculpting. We also can rid the body of scars and stretch marks, tighten and resurface skin, and reduce unsightly and sometimes painful varicose veins.
Hair Services To combat excessive hair growth, no matter how large or small an area, we use fast, comfortable lasers that heat the hair follicles to stunt them. We also offer a cutting-edge treatment that uses lasers to stimulate blood flow to the scalp to promote healthy hair growth for damaged or thinning hair.
Tattoo Removal For our clients who would like to remove tattoos, we offer the state-of-the-art Q-switch 1064nm RevLITE™ laser technology that is a proven method and poses minimal risk of scarring or pigment changes.
Hormone Replacement Therapy Some men and women find that they feel more vibrant and healthier when using bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. When necessary we prescribe hormones identical to those produced by the human body. Restoring hormone balance can combat brain fog, low energy, low sex drive, weight gain and more.
Medical Weight Loss Thrive’s weight loss program naturally suppresses appetite so you feel good while you trim down. Our weight loss program provides a combination of our high-quality biological protein food supplements, B-vitamin/natural lipotropic (fat burning) amino acid injections, and supplements to regulate appetite while supplying you with enough energy to accelerate at your daily routine.
